DEPLETED AND WORN OUT.

The Hon. Albert Daggett, writing from
the senate chamber, Albany, New York,
says:
l have used ALLCoCK'S Porous PLAsTERs
for the past 10 years with marked results.
/ have found them especially effective
when depleted and worn out from weeks
of incessant labors in political campaigns:
the application of them TO my chest and
spine gave me great relief when my voice
had become hoarse and worn down from
speaking in the open air. They seemed to
act as a tonic to the whole system, curing
the soreness consequent from over exertion
and restoring the toue of the system more
readily than any remedy have ever found.

very beneficial results.

EXPAND The Mind.

BY seeing as much as you can of the world,
but ere you set out either as a tourist,
commercial traveller or emigrant, whether
you go by rail, steamship or steamboat,
provide yourself with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, WHICH the travelling public recog-
nizes as the finest medical safeguard and
preventive of sea sickness with which any
one journeying by land or water can be
provided. 1t furnishes to the western
pioneer adequate protection against ma

the bowels which miasma tainted water

perturbed by the rocking of ship is truly
magical and it is capital appetizer and

The NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 30.-Very little
progress was made toward the agreement
between the houses. After long wrangle
in each house a conference committee of
five from each side was agreed upon, This
committee is composed of the strongest
men OF each body. The senate members
all being in the combine and the house
members very much opposed to the meth
DDS of the combine, the committee will
hold a preliminary conference this
evening and endeayor to come
to some understanding, but pros
pect of immediate agreement is not
very likely. A conference was held on the
supreme court amendments and a coDclu-
sion reached. The number of judges is to
be increased to five with five years term
and So, 800 salary. District judges salary
is fixed at $1,000, an increase of 800.
= The governori has vetoed the bill Great
ing the office of deputy county
attorney. This is the first veto. He has
poor record in that direction. A large
number of bills on subjects of local
interest were passed by both houses.
Everything is now waiting for the result of
the conference committee on the appropr-
ations as much of the other matter has
been disposed of. A resolution was adopt
ed in the senate denOuncing the so-called
Farmers alliance, declaring that it was
not a representative of Nebraska farmers
and had no right to speak for him in
the way the alliance thought its agents
had been doing in reference to the poverty
and mortgages in Nebraska.

PACK PEppLER KILLED.

PHILADELPHIA, March 30.-What will
probably prove to be one of the most afro
cious murders committed in southern New
Jersey was brought to light last Wednes-
day afternoon by the discovery of the re-
mains of a man floating on the surface
of pond near Turnerville, a small
village in Gloucester county. His
head was covered with frightful gashes.
One cash on the right side of the
head is ten inches long Another deep
cash was found on the neck, which partly
severed the spinal column. The body was
very much decomposed and had evidently
been in the water for some time. The body
was recognized as that of Jewish ped
dler, who visited that section Of the coun-
try once month regularly until about
three months ago, when he was missed
from his rounds. AS he had always stop
ped with Joseph Hiliman, young mar
ried man living IN Turnerville, suspicion
was directed toward him, and this after
noon Coroner Beal caused his arrest, and
he was placed in custody.
About the time the peddler was due on
another round Hillman moved to another
house, and soon astonished everybody il
the vicinity by starting out with ped
dler's pack. He seemed to have lots OF
money, and this fact was more astonlsh-
ing, as he was usually known to be with
out money. He offered his goods for sale
at unusually low prices, and on being
questioned as to how he could afford to
sell SO low, he is said to have explained
that he found the pack, and wanted to
dispose of the goods, as he had no use for
them. On one occasion he got a $50
bill changed at country store and at an
other time showed $40 gold piece. All
these damaging facts against Hillman
were brought out today, and led to his
being locked up. An examination of the
house from which Hillman moved showed
stains on the floor of the second story
room, and also on the boards on the ground
floor. These spots showed evidence of an
effort to clean them up and it is
supposed they are blood stains. The
theory is that the unfortunate peddler was
murdered while asleep on the second floor
and his body carried down stairs. When
found the body had rope tied around the
waist, which had evidently been used to
drag the remains to the pond. The stained
boards were sawed out OF the floor this af-
ternoon, and are now in the possession of
the public prosecutor.
