weakens every function Of the body. No
more effective remedy for Indigestion can

permanent relief, by restoring to the assimi-

In most cases. is occasioned by neglect, and
its cure Is generally sought for in the use Of
violent purgatives. These weaken the
bowels, so that they are less able to perform
their proper functions, and Chronic Consti-

the result. For any weakness or derange-

LABOR IN CONNECTICUT.

Commissioner HotchkisS Presents
 Facts and Commissioners.
 Labor Commissioner Hotchkiss' an- nual report opens with a statement that there is a widespread impression among the working people that their wages are not in proportion to the profits, while the employers feel that wages are as high as business conditions will permit The commissioner notes the evidence of growing intelligence among the work ing people and that there is less reason for complaint on the ground of un- reasonable and minimizing labor agita- ton. The plan of weekly payments has worked well and gained in favor, he says. There has been some demand for it's extension to employees of individuals but this the commissioner evidently does not favor at present. He has a good word to say in behalf of the ten-hour law for women and children. The greatest trouble in enforcing the law re- lating to the employment of children under thirteen years old has been ex- perienced from the misrepresentations of parents. The report contains statis- ties showing the relative cost of produc- tion and the profits in the different lines of manufactures, compares the differ ences in wages and cost of living be- tween 1860 and 1887 and goes extensive ly into the subject of agriculture. The labor commissiC ner finds strong de- mand for secret ballot among manu- facturers, business men and laboring men, and prints the draft of a secret ballot bill which he recommends to the legislature. It is the bill which was in troduced into the house Tuesday,

The Matthews x Willard Company
 Temporarily Embarrassed.
 The business of the Matthews & Will lard company this morning passed into the hands of c. N. Wayland. as receiver, by order of Judge Torrance, who held a special session of the superior court.
 This action was taken by the stock holders in order to tide the company over crisis that was fast approaching, and to protect themselves and their em- ployes. The first knowledge of the un- settled condition of the company's af- fairs became public property "Wednesday when the hundreds of employees were not paid off as usual.
 The stockholders held a meeting with in few days at which Mir H. H. Peck was added to the board of directors and it was decided to pray for the appoint was given charge of the business is dens company, and is man of wide experience. Under his manage ment the company will without doubt recover from it's temporary embarrass- ment. The help will be paid in full. A shut down of few days will probably be ordered to take inventory and find out the exact amount of the compa1 y's liabilities, after which, it is expected that the business will be continued with the usual number of hands.
 The cause of the Company's embarrass- ment has not been made public and whether from the copper combine or some local cause the public can only surmise. It is probable that Senator Matthews will continue at the head of the company.

 BRISTOL, Feb 16.-At o'clock Thurs day afternoon John Dooley, employed in the rolling mill here attempted to make a criminal assault upon Mrs John Quinn of this place, and inflicted serious injuries upon her. Mrs Quinn is about 30 years of age and not particularly attractive looking. She with her husband, who works at Ingraham's factory, have lived in this country for the past two years. They have known Dooley ever since they have been here. Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock he left the factory and went to Quinns house. Mrs Quinn received him andthey talked together for some time. Finally Dooley, who was stand ing near the mantel, asked her to get him a pipe. She replied that she had no tobacco. Dooley said that he had the tobacco, and Mrs Quinn stepped forward to the mantel to get pipe that was lying there. As she reached Dooley's one hand into her mouth to stitle her screams, threw her to the floor. Mrs Quinn struggled to get away from him and succeeded in making an outcry, which alarmed the neighbors. They came rushing in and Dooley jumped up, and pushing his way out, escaped. Con- stable Arms was informed of the assault and pursued. He went to Dooley's home and was told that Dooley was not in, but he finally captured him hiding in barn near by. Dooley was brought up before Justice Barnes last evening and pleaded not guilty. Dooley was bound over to. the superior court.

The Monthly Report of the State
 Board of Health.
 The abstracts from the monthly report of the state board of health show that, contrary to the old adage, an open winter does not necessarily mean lots of business for the undertakers. Thomp- son has the heaviest death rate, 25.7 1, with Manchester next,25. Waterbury s death rate was 1S.
 Thirty-five towns reported no deaths during the month. The total deaths re- ported from all the towns in the state was S92, being 59 less than in the month of December, and 123 less than in Janu- ary of last year. The death-rate was 15.3 for the large towns, and only 13 for the towns of less than 5000 population, and for the whole state 14.5. This is low death-rate for January. The corresponding month of 1888 gave a death-rate of 1S. The deaths from zymotic disease were 15.7 per cent of the total mortality. There has been less mortality from scarlet, typhoid, puerperal and malarial fevers and from diphtheria, erysipelas and consumption than the previous month, and a greater mortality from measles, cerebro-s spinal fevers and diarrheas. A widespread prevalence of humps is reported throughout the state.
 Secretary Lindsey in accordance with his semi occasional custom, closes the re- port with this pretty clipping.
