TO WRlTHE UPON A BED OF
AGnNV

Is what people troubled with rheumatic
symptoms can fairly expect, if they take
no efficient means to check the rapidly
growing malady which, it should never
DO forgotten, has tendency to attack
the heart and terminate life. The test
mony, public and professional, is over
whclmingly convincing and concurrent
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is both
sovereign preventive and curative of
rheumatifD,. 1t completely eXpurgates
from the blood the acrid principle which,
attacking the tissues surrounding the
joints and muscles, cause such exquisite
pain. The Bitters promotes the action
of the kidneys, bladder, stomach and
bowels, lnd remedies malaria, nervous
ness and debility, 1t also induces appe-
tite and round repose, hastens conva-
essence ifter eXhausting maladies, and
nitigateG he infrmities of age. Take it
daily at regular intervals, and confidently
expect the best results.

Chicono Auo E-C hairuon Co1dua1I

Chicago, Aug. 0.-Chairman caldwell
of the Western Lines Passenger associa-
tion has called a meeting of all the lines
in the eastern territory of the associa-
ton to take action on the homeseekers'
excursions for the summer and early fall
The meeting is called at the request of the
Illinois Central, which declares that 1T is
anxious to rum series of excursions from
it's territory north of the Ohio river to
points in the South and Southwest. Other
lines have announced that they too are
anxious TO run excursions to points in the
Northwest ON account of the heavy crops
which are in q short time to begin to
move. Tickets such as are used for party
business will probably be used for this
excursion business. The plan for gene
raj meeting of the western roads for the
purpose of perfecting their arrangements
on passenger affairs has gone by the board.
1t was arranged that the meeting should
be called Thursday, but u canvass OF the
lines showed that most of them are not
in readiness, and the matter went over
until another time.

Hin, Fontaine & Co., will say:

The weather during July was in the
main unfavorable to cotton. Rains were
of almost daily occurrence, and the result
is shown in the general complaint of the
plant growing to weed. The general con-
dition of the crop is not near so promising
as was indicated i'm our June report.
Ninety-eight report conditions better than
last year at this time, 210 not so good and
so about the same. The wet weather that
prevailed has prevented the plant from
fruiting, and there is general complaint
of damage from shedding and blight. Two
hundred and fOrty-six report injury to
the crop ranging from 10 to % per cent
from the rains, while 112 report no ma
terial injury. Nearly all report the sea.

a late frost, the yield in the district will
fall far short of what was reasonably an

was regarded as most favorable.

Crows in n Battle.

A daily spectacle at Ridgewood, n J., is
the passing of hundreds of crows over
town. They come from the south in the
early morning on the way to their feeding
grounds, and return just at sunset to their
regular roosting place. The other evening
the crows were flying lazily along until
suddenly it appeared that some enemy
must have come among them, for what
looked like fierce battle began.
Instantly scores Of birds that were we'll
away from the center of disturbance turn
ed about and were soon lost in the whirl
of the supposed combatants. Some of the
crows would drop nearly to the earth as if
disabled. and then soar and apparently rest
high in the air preparatory to a renewal
of the excitement.
After time 1t appeared as II many con-
cluded discretion to be more praiseworthy
than valor, or that the game was not
worth the candle, and they left the scene
in groups of ten or more and continued on
their homeward way.
The battle, If such it was, was a terrific
one. Nearly every crow that passed the
tussling ones returned for few moments
to watch the fray, but in hundreds of in
stances did not engage in 1t, but made a
detour and scared away.

A CoUNrY's CURIOUS PRAYER.

Extinction Desired us an Escape
From Heavy Railway Bond Debts.
From the New York Evening Post
Dallas county, Mo-. presents the strange
spectacle of a political division of the state
in debt for far more than its assessed
value:e In order to escaoe responsibility
for this Indebtedness the citizens of the
county have presented a curious request
to the legislature, nothing less than that
the county be declared extinct and its ter
titory apportioned among contiguous coun-
ties. This action is not as censurable as it
would seem at first blush.. for the reason
that the obligations or bonds of the peo-
pie which represent an aggregate of more
than million dollars were secured
through false pretenses. Dallas Is one of
number of counties in Missouri that, dur
ing the reconstruction period, while in the
clutches of carpet-bag freebooters, voted
Qnost of the taxpayers being disfranchise ID
bonds In aid of railroads. The bonds were
issued through the connivance of corrupt
county courts. and finally found their way
into the hands Of innocent purchasers who
had bought them in the regular market at
greatly deprecated prices.
The federal courts have uniformly held
that these bonds must be paid, and many a
county judge during the last ten years has
spent his official term in Jail for contempt
in refusing to levy tax to pay them. If
Dallas should be legislated out of existence
by the present legislature, and the courts
afterward decide that payment cannot then
be enforced, half a dozen other counties
will find their way out of a difficulty that
has confronted them for years. The debt
ors claim that the creditors are entitled to
very little sympathy, as most of them
bought the bonds knowing well that the
consideration for which they were issued
had failed in order to bully the counties
into compromise. Not foot of railroad
was ever built in Dallas, which county lies
In the Ozark mountains, and is one of the
poorest in the state.
