Two Ways. Choose Which !

There are two rsual ways of doing
what Nature sometimes does incomplete
ly, namely, to relieve the bowels. One is
to swallow a drastic purgative which
evacuates proiusely, abruptly and with
pain, the other is to take Ilostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is
not violent but sufficiently through,
and which does not grippe the intestines.
Ifthe first is selected, the person en-
ploying it need not expect permanent
benefit and he cannot hope to escape
the facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than before.
If, on the other hand, he resorts to the
Bitters, he can rely upon the restoration
of a regular habit of the body, conse-
quent upon a renewal of a healthy tone
in the intestinally canal. Besides health
fully relaxing the bowels, the Bitters
arouses a dormant liver, imparts a ben
eficial impetus to the action of the kid
neys, and counteracts the action of the
kidneys, and conteracts the early twin
ges of rheumatism, a tendacy to govt
and malaria in all its forms.

NEWS GATHERED

Two men were arrested in Pitts
burg yesterday while attempting to
swindle an old man. They had in
their possession $4,000 in spurious
greenbacks and a large number of
dies for quarters and half dollars.
1t is thought they belong to gang
which has recently been flooding
the country with counterfeit money.
Clerk Reitmeyer of Lewisburg, Pa,
was in love with Chicago girl, and
they "corresponded." But the love
making stopped many months ago
because the young man did not re-
ceive an answer to his "last letter"
He was too high strung to ask an
explanation. Last week he received
the answer to his last letter, and a
note of explanation accompanied it..
A commercial traveller, while riding
on Il Maine railroad. purchased a
magazine published in Chicago, and
between the pages he discovered the
letter addressed to Reitmeyer. 1t
was sewed fast. 1t had stamp up
on it but no postmark. The drum
mer was mystitied and upon rehec-
ton sent on the letter as directed.
1t seems that the young woman
worked in bindery and that she
had placed the letter between the
pages for safe keeping. Forgetting
that she had not mailed it she CON
cludcd that her lover had left her.
The correspondence has been re-
sumed.

A case of almost miraculous res
toration from total blindness to
sight was brought to public notice IL
few days since at Jersey City. A
gentleman by the name of Edward
Van Akin was connected with the
Pennsylvania railroad. While in
Chicago about year ago he was
stricken with blindness us the re-
suit of sickness. lie went to Bufia-
10 and then to New York to be doc
tored. About month ago he got
so he could distinguish light from
darkness. A week ago his wife was
reading letter to him, when he
suddenly took the letter out of her
hand and read it Since then his
eyesight has been perfect, and he
has gone to Chicago.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which 50 many seem now to be afflicted {?
If you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known, to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning ofanother
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness
and all are caused 10y troubles that arise
from diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc
You who are suffering can well appre-
a cure. We recommend Green's August
Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

THERE ARE so many unreasonable
men in this country. They general
ly have but one idea and to that
idea they cling to with a tenacity
greater than the ivy to the oak. In
every talk these one-idea-men are
encountered. You must agree with
them they admit to nothing and
think only one way and that is the
only and correct way. If they tell
you that the country will go to the
dogs if Cleveland is elected, with
reduction-of-the-tariff platform, and
that free trade will be the result of
the election ; also, the wages of the
workingman would be reduced to
mere trifle and that this country
would be ovcr-run with cheap labor.
Is not this so now, in regard to the
labor? What protection has work
ingmen against foreign immigration?
Meme; well, then where docs his pro-
lection come inn
The Mills bill, which passed the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington on Saturday, places four arti-
Giles on the free list, or 'frce trade, -
as is talked Of They are lumber,
salt, fax and wool.
The whole bill only makes an
average reduction Of per cent. in
the tariff, yet, protectionists are cry
ing "lree trade" Good authority
can be quoted as to why the above
articles should be on the free list.
But not only this, every intelligent
man knows that by placing these
articles on the free list it will benefit
the country and manufacturer In
1872 Congress put raw hides on the
free list and protectionists predicted
that it would utterly ruin the cattle
business in this country Has it
done it? So it will be with wool
From 1857 to 1861 wool was practi-
cally free and it brought higher
prices than it does now
1t is well for every man to study
this question Of protection and re-
duction of the tariff. Only > per
cent. reduction, yet it is free trade !;

work to compete with starvation

argument to mislead the uninform-

The territory lying between
Coomebarabran and Coolah, Austria
liza, is literally overrun with mice.
The pests came by millions and have
eaten everything that came in their
way. On one station Is per 100 was
offered for their destruction, and
during a single night 1000 were
killed. In one hotel in three nights
1000 mice were killed with a mix
ture of flour and sirychnine. At
another place the mice ate the whole
carcass Of fresh-killed sheep in one
niaht, leaving only the bare bones.
At another station a man was kept
whose sole duty was to keep the
mice away from the provender dur
ing the time the horses were eating
it, and this the man found a difficult
task. The week before the races at
Coolah the vcrniin got into the
horse boxes at the station and
actually ate the bandages from the
legs of the race horses. Sleeping
people are said TO have been attack
ed by them, and the crops are being
destroyed for miles around.

who attended her think that a tumor

WHEN such men as A. J. Drexel,
banker, of Philadelphia, proclaims
in favor of free wool and Ifree iron
ore, it should be pretty conclusive
evidence that high protective tariff
is not absolutely necessary for the
welfare of the country. The pro-
lection to iron men simply protects
them inasmuch that it enriches
them at the expense of the working
men. The workmen are beginning
to see this in such light, and in
November will exercise their rights.

IT IS wonderful how many farm
ers are swindled nowadays. Some
of them evidently don't read the
papers, exposing these frauds. If a
fine dressed stranger approaches
them and tells a plausible story, it
is ten to one that they are caught.
Every day shows how some farmer
or merchant has been fleeced. This
business has been going on long
enough to open the eyes of all men.
Be careful how you sign a contract
or even think you can capture
thousands of dollars by a single
turn of the cards. You can easily
imagine that the men using cards
are frauds, and by showing so much
money (or stuff looking like it, are
frauds, if they weren't they would
not show the cash. Keep yourself
posted in regard to these men.
