crawled under a car to fix brake rig

hold of the brake rigging and was car

EPOCH

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual:
such remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed: hence it is that so much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters; so
many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use of the Great Alternative
and Tonic; if you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing you will surely find
relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
SOC and 81 at PatterSOn'S drug store.

the navy yard here, has been dismissed

Booth had done. but found out before
he finished the job. He is not ashamed
of any act he has ever done. He thinks
it rather hard to lose his place, but does
not complain. He declines to say who
assisted him in taking Booth across the
river. Jones was appointed during the
late Democratic administration at the
instance of Congressman Compton, of
Maryland. Mr.. Mudd, who is contest
ing Compton's seat, brought the charge
against Jones as part of his case against
Compton and this led to Jones discharge
