Death and Taxes

Are not surer than the fact that if you are
constipated, the most efficient, as well as
the least painful laxative, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, gentle and thorough, not
violent and weakening like drastic cathar-
tic. Together with the bowels the liver and
stomach are regulated and invigorated by
this genial reformer, which also subjugates
malaria, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
ness and disorders of the kidneys.

TROUBLE IN THE GERMAN CABINET.
The Minister of Finance Appeals to the
Kaiser Against the Chancellor.

Kaiser Against the Chancellor.
BERLIN, Aug. l9-Herr Miguel, the Minister
Of Finance, has sent a petition direct to the
Emperor, asking the latter to suspend the
duties on corn for three months. Herr
Miguel has been compelled to take this step,
according to his friends, because Chancellor
Won Caprivi has declined to enter into any
further discussion OF the question.
At the Cabinet meetings the differences
between ION Caprivi and Herr MIGUEL, the
man who Is supposed to be the Emperor's
1avor1te, seem TO increase day by day, and
have undoubtedly reached such an acute
stage that it would seem the end must be the
tall Of one or the other of them.

TsAly ROBBERS AGAIN.
Six Men Hold up the san Francisco
EXPRESS Near ST. I,ouis

Express Near st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.-Six masked men
held up the west-bound passenger
train on the San Francisco Railroad at
Glendale station Monday night, and
robbed the safe in the express car of
about $4,000.
The train left the city at 8. 25 o'clock.
When the train reached Old Orchard,
about eight miles outside the city,
feur Of the robbers boarded the cars.
Two got on the front platform OF the
express car, next to the engine, and
two others mounted the rear platform,
between that car and tho postal car.
The two men on the forward plat
form climbed over the tender of the
engine, and, placing revolvers at the
heads Of Engineer Wagner and tho
fireman. made them stop the train
about 500 feet east Of the station at
Glendale. Two other men, who were
waiting there, drew revolvers and be-
gan fusillade to intimidute the
trainmen and passengers
The robbers on the rear end OF the
express car placed a stick of giant
powder under the door, which
shattered the rear door, but not
enough to permit the robbers to enter.
They then made Messenger Mulren-
min open the side door, and two OF
them sprang into the car and forced
open the safe.
The men on the ground kept on
shouting and calling to those on the
train to keep inside. The robbers
took the messengers revolver, gold
watch and money and tho keys to the
safe. The desperadoes then jumped
from the car, and, calling to their con-
federates on board the locomotive,
told them to make the engineer start
the train The six then took to the
woods.
The robbery occurred at almost the
same spot where the famous Froth-
ingham held up and robbed Frisco
train on the night of October II, 1886.
