Idl6ness is Q Dangerous

In the kidneys. When inactive they
speedily fall into disrepair. Those
obstinate and fatal maladies, Bright's
disease and diabetes, ensue with
terrible certainty upon the inactiOn of
the organs affected. Catarrh of the
bladder, cnuresis, gravel and
strangury are also to be apprehended
from a partial paralysis of the bladder,
of which weakness and sluggishness
are the causes. HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters is fine tonic and promoter of
activity for the renal organs, and one
which can be relied upon to afford
them the requisite stimulus without
exciting them-an effect to be feared
from the unmedicated alcoholic excit-
ant of commerce. A further bene-
ficent effect of the Bitters, by renew
ing activity of the kidneys, is to en-
able them to drain from the blood in
its passages through them, impurities
productive of rheumatism and drOpsy.
Nervousness, fever and ague, consti-
patton and dyspepsia are conquered by
the Bitters. 2-l9-6t

All the Express Companies are to
be Consolidated into an Ex-
press Trust.
For some time there have been rum
ors in the exchanges of the formation
of an express trust. For time these
came in a vague manner but they are
not contradicted, nay, more they are
confirmed directly and indirectly. AS
to the formation of this trust the New
York correspondent to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle writes:
"There are some big commercial
deals progressing here. One of these
deals whose details, hints at whose
general feature even are held to be
far too sacred for public scrutiny yet,
looks to the formation of another big
trust.
Substantially it is proposal to con-
solidate all the express companies of
the country into one corporation in
the regulation trust shape. The
Adams company, Wells-Fargo and
Colonel Calvin S. Brice and Thomas
C.. Platt's United States company are
to be brought in to the deal as factors
of consequence.
Just how far these companies are
committed to the big scheme can yet
be only matter of speculation, but
there is good basis for the belief that
some of their chietest financial mag
mates are quite as one with the pro-
motors whose brilliant brains have
conceived the project. Says one of
these promoters, man who is prac-
tically an echo OF the most active mil
Iionaires IN Wall street:
''There are over $50 600 900 of quick
profits in this deal and it is going
through Fighting between compan-
les has already come to standstill
and it will not be long before we will
be advanced far enough in the matter
to give some of the facts to thepublic.
Just now, however, the public know
ledge of what is going on, or even a
suspicion of it, would probably be
fatal to the whole deal"
These assertions of an insider are
not the illusions of curbstone talker |
by any means; they are from what |
can be taken to be carefully prepar- |
ed letter addressed TO capitalist of |
consequence, invited to cooperate in
this magnificent scheme. 1t is stated |
upOu bIl6 Sdule duIuOIIJS Ulldl Vic pIO- |
posed trust does not intend to merely |
to take in the big express companies,
but it will swallow up the l"cal ones |
in all the big cities.
A LIGHT reporter has made enquir-
les of the agents and officials in this
city. These officers will give no infor-
nation, but there is one point which |
confirms the rum0r. Both agents have |
received instructions to "restOre !
rates at once and to maintain them"
This would indicate com binatiOn |
that has no fear of competition. More
over it has long been rumored or
known here that this trust was in the |
course of formation.
Recently the St. LOUIS Globe-DemO- |
crat stated that the Adams Express |
company were making overtures for
the purchase Of the Pacific Express
company, and as this has not been
contradicted by either side it is be-
lieved that this is true.
This trust BODIES no good to the pub
lie because it places it at the mercy of
q trust that can do and charge just as
they please; moreover it may cause
the dismissal of a great number of eX-
press men. At the same time it means
increased profits and influence for the
express companies.

New York society is amusing itself
with pear suppers. This is the way
to do it: Gather in your friends at
evening. Let tea be taken and a
mere souvenir of bread. Then, while
all are fresh and unsated, bring in
your pears, seven or eight kinds.
Let one man carve. Give to each
guest a section of the same pear. Eat
together from the one fruit and be
united and magnetized by the spirit
ual essence of the one fruit. So on
