Group, to which complaint my children
have been bject."-Capt. U. Carley,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
"From an experience Of over thirty
years in the sale of proprietary medi-
cines, I feel justified i'll recommending
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. One of the
best recommendations of the Pectoral is
the enduring quality of its popularity, it

twenty-five years ago, when its great
success was considered marvelous."-

"My little sister, four years Of age,

saying that he had done all it was pos
sible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. AS a last resort, we determined
to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and can
truly say, with the most happy results.
After taking few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within o week, was
out Of danger. We continued giving the
Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely

His Nightgown Speech.

The speech which has brought Col.
Ingersoll more fame than any other was
made when nominating Blaine at the
Cincinnati convention.
Col Ingersoll and his brother were at
the Palmer House, in Chicago They
were as opposite in their natures as the
positive and negative electrical poles.
Robert was careless, good-natured,
erratic and had always trusted to the
impulse of the moment for the finest
points of his epeech.
Eben Ingersoll, on the other hand,
was careful, conservative, studious,
plodding. He could not understand
his brothers oratorical genius, and in
sisted that his own method was prefer
able.
Al day Eben Ingersoll had been try
ing to get Robert to write out his speech,
but Col. Ingersoll good-naturedly put
him off. Finally the two brothers re-
tired, and the discussion was continued
in the room.
At length Col. Robert Ingersoll sprang
from his bed and exclaimed: II wouldn' t
bother with this for any other living
man, but to please you and keep you
quiet I'll write that speech now'
He ordered a light, a pitcher of ice
water and cigar, and at midnight in a
Chicago hotel, clad only in nlght-gown,
the famous orator dashed off three
quarters of an hour speech that has
passed into the English classics, and a
speech that came within an ace of NOM
mating Blaine instead Of Hayes in 1875

SHOT BY A FEDERAL MARSHAL.


Tennessee Distiiler Killed and Child
Wounded by Government EmpIoye.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 3.-Reports re-
ceived here last night state that Bud
Lindsay, deputy United States marshal,
shot and killed kits, distiller in Camp
bell County. Lindsay wished gallon of
whisky, and Kills told him that lie could
not sell less than ten gallons under lis
license. Lindsay got mad and abused
Kits. The dIstiller'S 14-year-cld son
thought his father in danger. and
threw rock at Lindsay. Lindsay
attempted to shoot kits, but his
party took his pistols from him. They
,eft and when Tile away Lindsay asked
for the pistols, saying he would do no
harm. He got the pistols, and wheeled his
horse and rode back to Kills house. The
latter saw him coming and locked the
door, but Lindsay broke it down and shot
kits twice, killing him instantly. He
then attempted to shoot the boy, but
missed him and hit a little girl, but did not
seriously wound her. 1t is reported that
Lindsay's party arrested him, and gave
him over to the sheriff of the county.
Lindsay is desperate character, having
murdered prominent citizen of Campbell
County five years ago, and escaped be-
cause of lack of evidence.

Bismarck that if he does not stop his
press utterings the result will be seri-
Gus The Hamburger Nachrichten, de-
Tending Prince Bismarck from the re-
proach that in his interviews with Rus
sian and French journalists he has con-
fided in the enemies of the empire, de-
ciares that only those who desire war
can object to the interviews in question.
Many of the Freisinnige associations
have adopted resolutions declaring that
the military bill should be defeated un-
less the term of service be reduced.
Prince Bislnarck's right hand man,
Herr Won Butcher, who is now at Fried
richsruhe, is arranging the Princes pa
pers, and selecting material for biog-
raphy which is being written by Herr
Boschinger. The biography will be
made a vehicle for Bismarck's conf
dences.
The Freissinige says that the govern
ment contemplates putting tax on
matches and receipts in order to pro-
vide for the military credits.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 5.-Ad-
vices by steamer to-day state that the
war against the savages in Formosa is be-
ing conducted in a desultory manner
The Chinese t1oups have suffered several
severe repulSeS. and are unable TO make
any progress in subjugation of the coun-
try. 1t is believed that the troops in
North FOrmosa have lost heavily, both
from the attacks Of the enemy and from
disease, Its expedition returned to Tam
sue, and, the governor being chagrined at
the failure Of the troops, degraded Gen.
LII, who was in command. A colonel was
also beheaded for appropriating the pay OF
the troops. In South Formosa the whole
Bhotan Tribe of aoorlgines have again
taken the war path caused by the arrest
ard confinement of two of their
number for petty offenses. The tribe
marched against the city where the men
were confined, and threatened to kill the
inhabitants unless the prisoners were re-
leased. The men were accordingly sur
rendered and the BhOtans departed. An
expedition was quickly planned, and a
force of 5000 men has been sent after the
SavageS, who retreated to the mountains.

TERRIFIC STORM IN IOWA.
State Institution for Feeble Minded
Wrecked and Several Inmates Killed.


A terrific storm passed over Glen
wood, fifteen miles southeast of Council
Bluffs, on the night of the Sd. Shortly
after midnight heavy black cloud adj
vanced upon the city from the west,
and the low rumble that preceded it was
suggestive of danger The rain fell in tor
rents, and was lashed about by strong
wind. The Kissing of the lightning was
followed by deafening clap of thunder.
In few hours the storm spent it's fury,
and the first evidence was at the State
Institute for the Feeble-Minded. The
storm struck the institution at right
angles, and the large smoke-stack that
lowered above the englne-rOom tOttered
and fell with a crash. The roof of the
building was too weak to support the
weight, and the smoke conductor tore
its way through, and in it's descent killed
Willie Cline, of Clark County, and Wes-
ley Emery, of Monroe County, their
little bodies being crushed almost
to a pulp. Six others were moro
or less injured by the failing
of the chimney. The injured are:
John Swallow, of Dubuque. bruised
about the body and slightly cut; Sam
Askins, of Council Bluffs, bruised about
the body; Willie Prather, of Wayne
County, badly bruised and cut; Fred.
Wright, of Fort Dodge, body bruised;
Ed. Street, of Lee County, bruised
about the head and body, seriously in
jured; Henry Snyder, of Benton County,
bruised about the head and body and
arm crushed. Several other buildings
are wrecked. Specials from Creston,
Atlantic and other points show that the
storm was equally severe there.

Nineteenth Century as saying iE its di-
ton of Sunday:
There are proofs that Prince Bismarck
is intriguing, at the little German courts as
well as abroad, to raise difficulties Of all
sorts in the way of the Emperor. There
is some talk at Berlin of the removal of
several high officials who have been proved
to have been in communication with the
ex-Chancellor and to be associated with his
opposition to imperial decisions"
Bismarck has been warned by the En-
peror to cease his criticism of the govern
