Lifts ranch, in Newbern. The barn
was unroofed, and otherwise injured,
so it will have to be rebuilt. The
house was unroofed, except the dining
room which is in the one-story addition;
the kitchen back of it was entirely de-
molished. One of the curious freaks
of the wind, was the carrying stone
jar of cream out of the kitchen and
setting it under a tree, without dis
turbing the contents. Mr.. Lifts and
grandson, Ralph Lifts, were in the
dining-room; Mrs. Lifts, Mrs. Harley
and daughter, and Bessie Lifts were in
the cellar, where they had just gone.

so glibly when so many of them are

The pension appropriation of $751;
$50, 900 for the fiscal year 1889 has al
ready been exhausted, although the
year will not end for over six weeks
yet. Larger appropriations than this
have been made but they were not
spent. The actual expenditure this
year for pensions is greater than any
hitherto made in the same length of
time. However, no rightly constructed
person will grudge this disbursement.
While in the aggregate the sum paid
out by the government is very large the
individual receipts of the old veteran,
is small indeed. It is fortunate that
the present administration is friendly
to the old soldiers.

Now! In the Spring of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely arranges
that we should live on foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose of supplying heat
to the body; the chemical operation neces-
sary to transform fat into heat is the exclu-
sive work of the liver, and so during the
time stated it is constantly congested.
Withthe approach OF warm weather our
diet changes to muscle-producing food, and
the WORK of the liver is much lessened. In
the majority of cases, however, it IS fss'
unable to completely throw off the excess
OF bile, but remains congested, causing
that GS- lazy, tired feeling which many
have in the Spring months when the
weather becomes warm.

condition, and though people appreciate

the common idea is to take drastic pills
and produce a cathartic effect only to

must be unloaded, and its proper action
restored before hot weather, if you wish
to Es- preserve health, and If this distinct
call OF nature is unheeded serious results
will occur.

CHARGES OF BRIBERY.
Minnesota Senators Accused of Selling
Their Votes to Railroad.


The defeat of the Duluth & Winnipeg
land grant bill in the Minnesota Senate
has filed the air with rumors Of corrup-
ton. Senator Pope read in the Senate
on the 2lst, an extract from Gewspa-
per, charging that a senator had been
paid s., 1000 for voting against the bill +;
that another had been paid to absent
himself and that he had pleaded
sickness rs an excuse for his absence.
No names were given, but Senator Mach
bar was the only member who has been
excused for illness during the week.
His friends claim that he is confined in
st. Joseph's hospital with pneumonia.
After the article had been read, Senator
Pope, in addressing the Chair, said:
MIR. President, the story is not hall told
in the newspapers. A member OF the
lower house stated in a hotel lobby last
night that the senator from his
district had received $4,000 or $l5, GOO
for bis vote against this bill. A senator
who voted for the bill told me that he
was offered $4,000 to absent himself
and lose his vote; and these are speci-
mems of the rumors af1oat. The ques'
ton seems to me to be not are there
any here who sell their votes, but are
there any here who do not sell their
votes ?" Senator Clark retorted warm
ly. No action was taken.

a severe gale visited the harbor, during
/ which the American barkentine Consti-
tuition was driven ashore and became a
total wreck. Everything possible was
done to save the barkentine. The sec

CANNOT CONVICT THEM.
Persons Charged With Violating Election
Laws in West Nirgi nia Acquitted.

Laws in West Virginia Acquitted.
A dispatch of the Dist from Wheeling,
W. Va, says: There was rather re-
markable occurrence in the United
States court to-day, which shows the
futility of any further attempt by the
government to secure convictions in
election cases, at least with the present
panel. VIM. Meyers, alleged to be a
minor, was on trial, and at half-past
6 O'Clock the jury came into court and
said there was no possible chance of
an agreement being reached. The court
said it would send them back, when
Foreman O'Brien said some of the jury
were willing TO convict if they could be
assured in advance what the punish
ment would be. The court sharply re-
proved the jury for this attempt to COM
promise the case, whereupon the jury
retired, and in five minutes returned a
verdict of not guilty. The sensation was
tremendous and the verdict is the talk
of the city tonight. 1t is possible that
no more cases will be tried by the dis
trict attorney, although seventy indict-
ments are in his hands.
