Changes OF Climate

Kill more people than is generally known.
Particularly is this the case in instances
where the constitution is delicate, and
among our immigrant population seeking
new homes in those portions of the west
and where malaria and typhoid fevers
prevail at Tertain seasons Of the year
The best preparative for change Of eli
mate, or of diet and water which that
change necessitates. is Hostetter's Stom-
aeh Bitters:. which not only fortifies the
system against malaria, variable tenn
perature, damp, and the facilitating ef-
fects of tropical heaq, but is also the lead
ing remedy for constipation. dyspepsia,
liver complaint, bodily troubles specially
apt to attack emigrants and visitors to
regions near the equator, mariners and
tourists. Whether used as a safeguard
by sea yoyagers, travellers by land, min
ers, or Of agriculturists in newly popu-
lated districts, this fine specific has
elected the most favorable testimony.

A Boys Curiosity

Chicago Globe.
mo one need tell me that the bump
of curiosity in the small boy is not at
times p Productive of good results. I am
letting him pry around all he ean.n
The man who gave utterance to
these words was the Hon. Edwin
Dickinson, of Springfield. Mass. He
was standing against the desk of the
Grand Pacific Hotel, where he had
just been making fun of Col. Sam
Parker, who had doned a slouch hat
for the first time in thirty years.
GAS was remarking," continued
the Massachusetts, man, "the boys
inquisitlve ways often bring good re-
suits. Ihave been out to Butte City.
Mont, to give testimony in the fam
Gus Davis will case. My particular
line was to introduce expert evidence
as to the nature of the paper on
which the will was written. No,

would not be policy to say much. be-
cause Just now the matter is being
aired, from q one-sided point OF view,
in the press. Both parties are sus-
picious of each other, and strenuous
efforts are being made to effest a
compromise.
"But must finish my small boy
story. Several weeks ago wrote an
important letter at my place of bust
ness in Springfield, and inclosed q

I imagined that the letter was proper

At the Rubber Shop.

The weather being considerable cooler on Saturday the boot makers st the rub Der shop all returned to work and used up all the stock cut, thus finishing the ticket left over since the preceding day. Every thing went along smoothly and some of the men found it rather cold to work with the windows up. It would not have in- iured the goods if all the windows had been open top and bottom Saturday as the day was considerably dry and clear.
 The men seem interested in regard to the decision of the factory inspector, he having visited the shop Saturday morning. [. No startling change is expected as the re- suit. The windows of the bootmakers' room were all down from the top as far as they could go on the hot moist days of last week The objection made was to having them open part way st the bottom, as when open thus the damp air comes in direct contact with the goods which lie on the benches and damages them. A consid- erable number of the bootmakers stayed at work all last week and made no outcry Some of these were old reliable hands. They found no fault with the company, and say that they cannot blame the com pany for protecting its goods from the damage sure to ensue if the goods come in contact with dampness or moisture.
 It is we'll understood by all experienced rubber workers throughout the country that dampness injures the goods at certain stages in the process of manufacture. Now that cooler weather has come no further trouble is expected until next years dog days. In the meantime the company is ready and willing to do whatever is right and fair to the men in the case.

THE STORY OF CALEB.

The Rev. E. s. Lines Draws Instruc-
 tive Lessons From the Life of the
 Faithful Spy.
 The Rev. Edward S. Lines preached at St. Paul's Episcopal church yesterday on the life of Caleb, the Israelitish spy to the land of Canaan, who remained faithful to his trust and received in due time his just reward. The discourse was an interesting historical picture of the time when the chosen people were at the door of the Promised Land and were sent back to wander in the wilderness for their faint heartedness and disobedience to the divine commands. MT. Lines showed how wit nesses for the truth were needed in this day as much as in times of Caleb and how the reward of Christian men and women is far greater than the vine-clsd mount of Hebon and the beautiful valley of Eshkar. which the old warrior secured for hif reward The sermon was heard by only small audience.
