CrossIn~ the Atlantic

Usually involves seasicknsss. When the waves
play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed
must be the stomach that can stand it without
revolting. Tourists, commercial travellers,
yachtsinen, mariners, all testify that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is the best remedy for
the nausea experienced in rough weather on
the water. Nervous and weakly travellers
by land often suffer from something akin to
This, and find III the Bitters its surest remedy.
No disorder of the stomach, liver or bowels is
50 obstinate that it NAV not be overcome by
the prompt and thorough remedy Equally
.:licacious is it for chills and fever, kidney and
rheumatic trouble aud nervousness. Emil
grants to the frontier should provide them
.elvcs with this fine medicinal safeguard
against the effects of vicissitudes OF climate,
hardship. exposure and fatigue.

THE prohibition law in South Da.
Kota has created a new industry, that
OF obtaining evidence to convict drug
glsts and Others of selling intoxicants
nnlawfully, In every ease yet brought
before the courts the spotter has
sworn to facts that make him appear
thn meanest man on earth, in that he
has 20 play upon the goodwill and
go~od-nature of the druggists until he
obtains the coveted beverage. and then
he HES himself to his principal, and
the two together go before a Justice
and make the formal complaint. In
every case the druggist or bootlegger
proves himself the most honorable OF
the trio.

An UnObservant Optimist.

We have yet to hear of the person
who achieved either name or fortune
by deceit CT moral treachery OF any
sort, says the American Grocer. They
may flourish for a season, but in time
their purposes are thwarted and ruin
and shame follow.
Bosh. says the California Fruit
Grower. Every one in the world eX-
cot the Grocer knows that 80 per
cent. of all mi~lliOnaires, great pOliti-
clans, clergymen. actors AMI editors
got their money or their prestige by
chicanery. Deceit is a ve!y mild term
TO imply as the primal or moving cause
of nearly all the alleged successes in
life. No man would he regarded truly
great if he were known by the world
as he is best known by those neare5t
to him. The saying that no mar l.
ever q hero to his valet de chambre is
true and covers the whole ground. De-
ceit, innocent Or otherwise, is the
plainest road to sO-calied success in o
la"ge percentage OF cases.

Many pieces of ice weighed fourteen

as goose eggs. They sank from two to
five inches in the ground near the

and hogs were rcltel to death.
AT Lansing switch, six miles east, a

persons dead, three mortally wounded,
and FIVE seriously and painfully hurt.
Half q mile south OF the ill-fated

SOME of the business men Of

tirely too little interest in the i'm
portance of securing the Dawes

hypothesis is drawn from their
slackness in subscribing to fund

and affOrding opportunities to
show these distinguished gentle
men the magnitude of our re-
sources and the character of our
people. 1t requires no deep study
to take in the true situation. The
indians, as rule, are opposed to
making any concessions. They
are honest in their opposition, and
without being strongly fortified
with stati. tics, based on absolute
facts, the commission cannot meet
the Indian arguments. AS cons :

'"S "'Posc VI hAihS tv
place, in 1894, for meeting OF the
society and reunion OF the soldiers
who served in the army OF West
Virginia. The lat meeting and
reunion were held ut Huntington,
in 1891. Members Of the commit.
tee and many ex,soidiers have ex.
pressed desire to hold the next
meeting of the society and reunion
at lronton, which, to those who de.
sire to attend, is centrally located
and accessible. This was made
known to the members of Dick
Lambert Post 6. A. r. by Gen.
Enochs at meeting few weeks
before his sudden death; but owing
to the general business depression
the Post was opposed to asking the
people Of lronton for the contrihu.
tons necessary for such an event.
AS to active participation in mod
ern business and practical politics,
the old soldiers are beginning to
feel, to use popular phrase, that
they are mot in it," to the exten,
they were in years gone by. Fl.
nancially weak as compared with
the whole number of people, they
do not feel able to assume the re.
sponsibility, as they did in 1854, Of
providing means that would Justify
them in asking their comrades of
the Army of West Virginia to hold
their reunion meeting at Ironton.
The Board Of Trade, or the citizens
generally, If they think that large
three. day reunion would be of ben.
eft to the city, directly or indirect.
ly, must take the initiative, and if
such steps are taken, the members
OF the g. A. X. and auxiliary socie.
ties will cooperate and do all in
their power to make the reunion a
great success, such as to reflect
credit upon the hospitality Of the
city and to advertise its resources,
facilities and advantages as place
Of business and residence.
Time was when the Society of
the Army of West Virginia did not
have to go a.begging for place
and quarters in which to hold its
annual reunions-when cities ard
towns entered into active competi
ton for furnishing the same. But
times have changed, and we have
changed with them.
