Two WAYS. Choose which,

There are two usual ways of doing what Ma
ture sometimes does incompletely, namely, to
relieve the bowels One is to swallow drastic
purgative which evacuates proiusely, abruptly
and with pain the other is to take Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not vio-
lent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grire the intestines. If the first is selected
the person employing 1t need not expect perma-
nent benefit and he cannot hope to escape the
debiliating 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 regular habit of body, con-
sequent upon a renewal of healthful tone in
the intestinal canal, Besides BEAUTIFULLY re-
Taxing the bowels, the Bitters arouses dor
mant liver, imparts beneficial impetus to the

A Youthful Burglar Goes Through a
Monmouth Store

From our Special Correspondent.
NORM MONMOUTH, MAY 4.
The store of John w. Foss was broken
into Wednesday while Mr.. Fess was at din
ner. The entrance was made by getting
open door in back shed then through an
other door into the back store, and still
through another into the main store, where
the post office is kept. About five dollras in
silver was taken from the money box in the
post Office, and pair of rubber boots and a
box of confectionery is all that is now know n
to have been taken from the store.
1t was thought at first that it must have
been person that was well acquainted with
the store to work the combination and enter
so quickly, but it proved to be a colored boy
living about four miles from here, whose
name is Harry Ferguson. He is about four
teen years old.
On Thursday Trial Justice Jeffery issued
a warrant and placed it in the hands of our
efficient constable, Chas. F. Brown, and but
a short time elapsed before the boy was ar
rested. He at first denied having anything
TO do with the robbery, but the constable
soon mixed him up and he confessed He
was tried today and sent to the reform school
during his minority.
