Remarks.

There has been but light call for butch
ers' meats and the markets. in consequence
inactive, though in some lines there is a
slight increase in prices. In woods there is
to be noted quiet market, and in some
grades a great falling off in quotations.
There is little doing in flour and grain, and
buyers are pursuing the hand-to-mouth ;"
policy. Because of increased receipts,
prices in dairy products have dropped,
though cheese holds up pretty well. 1t is
now the " between-hay -and-grass " period
in vegetables. New southern potatoes are
beginning to arrive, but they are inferior to
old northern. Eggs are firm and there is no
likelihood of decline for some time Good
hay and straw sell well at full prices

What a Mistake!

One-half of all the people in this country
have been or are now, afflicted with catarrh
or bronchitis. No doubt many of them have
tried every blood purifier they have seem
with the erroneous idea that catarrh is a
constitutional disease of the blood. Why,
a greater mistake was never made! Stop
for moment and ask any reputable physi-
clan what common catarrh is, or bronchitis
(Which is a catarrh in the bronchial tubes)
and what causes it, and the answer can be
only this 1t is an irritation or inhamma-
ton OF the mucous membrane of the nose
and throat, caused by neglected colds
damp, piercing, irritable winds, foreign mat
ter in the air, which is poisonous to some
persons and not to others, just as the bites
of certain insects is poisoned torture to
some and has no unpleasant effect upon
others" The reason for this is found in
the different structure of the outer skin and
its counterpart which lines all the inner
organs of our bodies Some people have
chapped hands and chilblans, and others
are never so afflicted, because of the peculiar
structure of the skin of different individ-
uals. 1t is not blood purifiers you want,
but good wholesome food, the palmer the
better; then keep your feet dry and warm,
your head cool and bowels open," and use
an external application (Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment is the best we know to allay the
Inflammation, cleanse the surface, heal the
Sores and your catarrh will disappear like
magic; we do not say never to return, be-
cause you may cure severe cold and in
three months catch another equally bad. So
with catarrh and bronchial troubles, expos
ure may bring it on again We learned
more about treating catarrh from the wrap
per around bottle of Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment than we ever knew. Certainly
this good old medicine deserves to be called
" A universal family remedy" 1t will pay
you to send to l. S. johnson & Co., Boston,
Mass, for pamphlet, free, just to learn
hnx 10 thn li,air, nn,,f oil A
tea-spoonful properly used will do more good
than a half bottle as some people use it.
This liniment is made from the formula of
an old family physician.

F financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for the sale of the
stock and building lots of the MUNCIE NAT
URAL GAS LAND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY of
Muncie, Indiana, respectfully offers them to
the public, believing this to be an unpar-
alleled opportunity TO make money rapidly
and legitimately on moderate invest
ment-having spent over three weeks at
Muncie and the offices of the company
looking over its charming city, its fifty-three
manufactures, aud its wonderful natural
gas, which warns and lights the homes of
its 10000 people, propels its factories, lights
its streets and saves its people in fuel and
light already over 5000 annually. Its
population has doubled in the last few
months and must soon reach $4,000. Hav-
ing thoroughly investigated its affairs and
the standing of its officers to complete salts
faction, the expert prediction is that the
stock which is to-day offered at S75 per
share will, inside of eighteen months, COM
mand $3.50, and its building lots increase in
value over fourfold Those who invest
now will get the bottom or ground floor
prices. The man or woman of moderate
means will receive the same consideration
in purchasing one share of stock or one
building lot as the banker or capitalist.
All orders from this section of the country
are passed to the credit of the eastern agent,
whether made through him or the officers
of the company. All correspondence or in
vestments made will be regarded as strictly

they have neither the time or opportunity
to devote to at the general offices of the

sonally and disposed of to intimate

and building lots, and respectfully invites
correspondence and personal visitation at

1T is foolish to send for the doctor
every time you don't feel just right. My
doctors bill for years was over hundred
dollars year, which made a pretty big
hole in my wages. For the past two years
only spent ten dollars, with which |
bought dozen bottles of Sulphur Btters,
and health has been in my family since
using them. robert johnson, Adchinist.

Fingers Came Off.

My little son, five years old. was afflicted
with disease for which the doctors had no
name. The nails came off his fingers, and
the fingers came off his hands up to the
middle joint. For three years he has suf-

of medicine. He is now getting well under
treatment of Swifts Specific.

 Then had been d sight of wrangling when Gen. Harrison told the New Workers he would appoint any one but Platt or Miller. Morton, HScock and Platt stuck for the post office, but Gen. Harrison stubbornly refused ts recognize any claim on that position He said they might have the navy, war, agricul- ture or justice Wanamaker has the post office solid. It is the navy that the New York conference decided to choose for Tracy. Ii only remained to see whether he would ac- cept.
 When Gen. Tracy arrived Senator Hiscock went to meet him. AS soon as Gen. Harrison returned from the dinner at John Hays, Gen. Tracy was shown to his room to confer with him Half an hour later the Platt men, His cock at their head, appeared in the lobby, smiling at great rate, and the whisper went around that Tracy had accepted
