EPOCH

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ.
ual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained j:
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that sc
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
ters. So many feel they owe their res
toration to health, to the use Of the grea
alternative and tonic. Ifyou are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver OF
stomach, of long or short standing yor
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

CHICAGO, oct. 81. V. Lester tele-
graphs c. W. Branch u Co. as follows;
Wheat mas been stupidity duh the entire
day, even the scalpers eyincing but little
disposition TO trade. The engagement Of
5000 bushels of wheat to be shipped out
tomorrow strengthens the market some
what. Gables lent their aid also, coming in
at the close y to I'd. higher. The market
seems to have gotten into rut and until it
Jumps out Of that and gives some evidence
Of decided action trade will probably con-
tinue in the hands Of our local room traders.
What has been said Of the dizziness in wheat
applies equally well 10 corn and provisions.
