If you wake up in the
morning with a bitter or
bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constipar
tion, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. It corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses the efurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
or Sleeplessness-a good
dose Of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. 1t can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

this morning at 10 o'clock and the petit
Jury was called. Frank ID. Carpenter,
Esd, represented TO the court thai
William McCarTon, who was called the
day before and who did not answer,
and whose reeognizance was declared
forfeited, was present this morning
with his bondsman, Senator John 7,
Dopahoe,
He stated that It was altogether
through q misapprehension that he
was not present when his name was
called and Senator Donahoe had been
too busy as Speaker or the Senate at
Dover to give it the attention IL de-
served-indeed 1t had slipped the
Senator's mind. Mr.. Carpenter asked
that the recogniZance be restored.
Judge Wales said that under the cir.
cumstances the recognizance was re.
stored.
Mr.. Carpenter then asked to have
McCarron's case continued until the
April term and offered Peter j. Ford
as bondsman, which request was grant
ed and MIR. Ford accepted rs security.

Marshal William L. Wyer, and inter
feri1ng with his duties were called for
trial. Willard salisbury, Esq. coun.
sci for defense plead earnestly to have
the cases go over until the April term,
but Judge Wales was decided in refus.
ing the request. A jury was then EN-
paneled and District Attorney AIexan,
der d. Cooper stated the case and read
the law.
William L. Wyer being qualified
stated that he, with several more
deputy marshals, were taken down "a
the Ninth district. Fifth and Church
streets, to keep order and open tho
way to the polls. In doing SO he was
set upon by mike" Kelley and struck
when he struck Kelley back again, and

was trying to get out he was
struck at and handled very
roughly. When no reached tho

Marshals Pennington and Morrow and
taken to the Court House and from
thence to the City Hall, where he was

The Chinese laundry, at the corner
of Taylor and Kirkwood streets, was
broken into and robbed last Saturday
night. and although the facts were
known to the chief and some of the
police, they carefully concealed them
from tho reporters, probably from n
fear that IL they were published, the
perpetrators might be arrested with
out their assistance. AS far as can be
learned, the proprietor of the laundry,
after carefully locking his doors, went
out last Saturday evening to visit some
friends. During his absence his place
was entered through the cellar door,
shirts and other articles that had been
left to he laundried. The officers have
been informed of the marks on the
