On the Way to Paradise.

Let us hope that the people vino
habitually disregard their health will
reach that desirable place, and avoid
the locality which is less desirable as
an eternal residence on account of the
heat and surroundings generally. But
while we tarry in this vale of tears, why
should We voluntarily endure the tor
lures of dyspepsia when a systematic
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
rid us of the atrocious malady which,
unless physicians are very much at
fault-tends to shorten the term of'our
existence Heartburn, biliousness, con-
stipation almost always accompany this
complaint and are symptomatic of it.
These are all extinguished by the Bit
tiers. which also conquers completely
malaria, rheumatism, nervousness and
debility. Since the appearance of ..ia
gripp" it has shown singular mastery
over this foridabte complaint that has
carried off SO many of our brightest and
best.

lass, aged al years, who resides a
bout quarter ola mile below town
went out unbeknown to the mem,
beers of his family and attempted to
flag the train with the intention of

vile. The freight was laying on the
siding and he was behind It until
the near approach of the passenger
when he got onto the main track
and was struck, knocking him off
and crushing his right arm in such
a manner that amputation was nee
essary. He was in delicate health
any how and quite feeble, and the
shock was too much for him to
overcome and he died Mondey night
about 10:40 o'clock. He leaves a
wife and nine children, to mourn
his loss, and will be buried We'd
nesday at 1:30 o'clock at Riplev
