Through the Weary Hours

Vi many a night, made doubly long by
its protracted agony, the rheumatic suf-
ferer losses to and fro on his ~sleepless
couch, vainly pray ing for that rest which
only comes by fits and starts. His NAL
ady is one which ordinary medicines too
often fail to relieve, but there is ample
evidence to prove that the efficient blood
5epurent, Hostetters Stomach Bitters, at-
fords the rheumatic a reliable means Of re-
lief Check the malady in its incipient
stages, when the int p%remonitory
twinges come on, with this agreeable
medicine, and avoid years of torture.
Whatever be the rationale of the active
influence OF the Bitters upon this malady,
certain it is that no evidence relating to
ITS effect is more direct and positive thar
that which relates to its action in cases
of rheumatism. Like all sterling rene
dies, however, it deserves a protracted,
systematic trial, and should not be aban-
doned because not at once remedial. 1t
is equally eficacious in dyspepsia, indi-
gestion and kindred diseases.

some Interesting Information About the
Pay of Various Story Writers.
fSnAcIaI Cornaaaaaaa--
NEW YORK, Jan. 1a-It has been recen.

-
NEW YORK, Jan. 12-It has been recent
ly announced in public prints that Mr..
Frank r. Stockton is the only American
writer Of fiction who is able tolive entirely
upon the income from his stories. This
statement is not quite true. For some
years Edward Eggleston has earned from
his stories a sufficient income to support
him, and enable him to devote his leisure
to historical studies. Mrs Burnett would
be able to live handsomely on what she
receives for her stories, although she has
added largely TO her income by some jour
nalistic work and by her dramatic vent
ures. Gen. Lew Wallace could have sup
ported himself nicely on the income he has
received from the sale Of "Ben-Hur." But
as a rnle nearly all of the writers of fiction
would make a scant living II they were de-
pendent upon theiK receipts from maya
zines or royalties on the sale of their books.

Riner l. johnson are doing an immense
trade every day in the coal business.
They have their coal yards at the west end
OF Seventeenth street on the Cheyenne &
Northern. They receive there about
eight cars per day and some how or other
manage to sell all their coal. They have
adopted a new system of handling coal
which will be Of great value to the con-
sumner. They have 80 arranged matters
that hereafter all the coal will be of the first
quality; no one will get any of the fine
coal. Under the old style of handling
coal some one was sure to get fine" coal,

dcrs to the Officers of the Law.

dcrs to the Offcers of the Law.
Ed. Wright, the negro who assaulted
John Casey at the Grocer Furnace about
two weeks ago, came in yesterday morn
ing and surrendered himself to the
authorities.
1t will be remembered that Wright
went to the furnace where Casey was
employed and became engaged in an
alteration about the theft of some coal.
Hot words ensued, in which Wright
struck Casey fearful blow on the head
with pick and escaped to the noun
tains, where no has been fugitive ever
since.
1t is said that he took refuge in the
house of colored man on the mountain
south of Vinton, and in close proximity
to cave, where he sought shelter on
the approach of strangers. Becoming
worried of constant hiding, and hearing
that Casey was out Of danger, he bid
farewell to his rocky fertilization and
gave himself up.
lie secured Captain Gish as counsel,
and the case came up before Squire
Howerton yesterday afternoon, but
owing to the absence of important wit
nesses for the commonwealth it was
postponed till Thursday. Wright was
released on his own recognizance in the
sum of $50.

prints the following dispatch from
Valparaiso. The electoral college Of
the Gillian government representing
all the provinces under the control Of

unanimously elected Claudio Nicuna
president Of the rcpuhlc This Is
simply a confirmation Of the popular
vote Of June -. when vieuna was
chosen the new chief magistrate Of the
country.
Vicuna i Balmaceda's own choice as

the insurgents lie will take Office ON
september ~ next The term Of Office
Is five years and the salary $4,000 a
year. lie will have the naming Of five
ministers and five Of eleven members
OF the council of state.
A letter from an American travelling
man in Chilli speaks disparagingly Of
the congrcssionalists as follows;
"The opposition Is dependent entirely
upon Bolivia and the United States for
provisions. The Balmaceda govern
mcnt has nearly succeeded In controll-
ing all the southern ports, but loads of
flour and hay come from san Fran
cisco. We ought not 10 foster this OPP
position party They represent ele-
ments totally antagonistic 10 our
notions of republic They are the
cxponcnts Of plutocracy, OF British
capital and French customs they are
the enemies Of commercial relations
with us; they oppose social popular
progress, education among the masses,
popular representation and freedom in
religious matters"
vICUNA's ELECTION ILLEGAL
PARIS. July 80 The Chilian con-
eressional party has issued u statement
that the election OF Nicuna as president
was null and void because as president
of the cabinet he organized n coup
d'etat In January last violating the
constitution; because the constitution
was not carried out in conformity with
the law relating To elections; because
only part Of the country voted, and be-
cause the election occurred during the

The Amount over Two Billion and "a
HALF
WASHINGTON. July 80 The count of
the farm aud home transcripts made in
accordance with the mortgage collec-
tion clause of the census act has been
completed by the census Office The
figures are subject TO slight modiica-
tion.
There were returned by the enumer-
ators ., iGi, $50 farms and homes occu-
pied by owners which are incumbcred
by mortgages This number includes
some farms and homes about which the
cnumcraturs made no report and about
which belong partly to the class of
hired and partly TO the class Of owned
free as well rs partly to the class of
owned and incumbered. Until this un-
known quantity, due to the failure of
the cnumcrators, is eliminated it may
he regarded as approximately true that
2. go. 900 families OF the T., 500, 900 fam
lilies of the United States occupy and
own incumbercd homes, and that TO-
$50, coo families occupy farms and homes
tildl uIt tlliltI nlIftl Ut bNltu litts
The proportion OF hired and owned
free homes and farms will bc known
when the population division completes
the count of the returns pertaining to
them.
The preliminary results indicate that
the average debt for farm in Iowa is
81. 2s3; homes. S7l9; average for farm
and home. 81. 40. II these averages
hold good for the union the ineum-
brance on the farms and homes of the
United States occupied by the owners,
is about 50. 500, 900 900. The success of
this investigation, Superintendent Por-
ter says, has been far beyond the an
ticipations of the most experienced sta
tisticians and the result will bc of im-
mensc interest and value to the nation.
The first volume relating to recorded
indie btcdness will probably go to press
this year.
Incomplete returns from western
states indicate that farms and homes
are mortgaged for about onc-third the
value put upon them by the owners.
