A DISASTROUS FAILURE.

Financial commissions which disturb
the equilibrium of the business world
are productive of far less mischief than
the failure of the kidneys to perform
the office assigned to them by nature.
When these organs become inactive the
circulation acquires impurities which
bring on dropsy, diabetes, Bright's dis
ease, gravel, catarrh of the bladder and
other maladies. To impar't to the blad-
der and kidneys a healthful impetus,
very different from the excitement
produced by an unmedicated alcoholic
stimulant, use Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest diuretic in existence.
This excellent remedy for inactivity of
the kidneys is also of the greatest SER
vice in malarial, dyspeptic, bilious and
rheumatic troubles, and has received
the unqualified sanction of eminent
physicians. The nervous, the elderly
and infirm and convalescents derive
>unspealoable benefit from its use. Use
with persistence and at fixed intervals,
and anticipate with confidence the hap
piest results.

Holm DUSKEY ALIAS G. W. TAN
NER.

The man John Duskey, whose real
name is G. w. Tanner, is still in the
custody of the town authorities. Dep
utv Sheriff J. NJ. Baker, of Clark coun-
ty. Va. is here for the purpose OF TAX
ing him back for trial. The necessary
requisition papers, he says, were OBJ
tanned from the Governor of Virginia
and forwarded to Governor Carr at
Raleigh for his endorsement and with
request that they be sent to Durham.
It was expected that the papers would
have reached Durham yesterday morn
ing. but they did not, and it IS I'M
known when Mr.. Baker will be able to
leave with his man.
1t has been nearly week since this
man was arrested and it does seem
that there has been unnecessary delay
in the matter. Officers ought to be
prompt to respond in such matters.

LOSS COVERED BY INSURANCE
The Diamond Hatch Company Has an

The Diamond Hatch Company Has an
Inveztory of Nearly ~. 600, 900 Outside
Of the Plant at OntonRgon.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-At the office of
Moore Brothers, agents Of the Diamond
Match Company, it WAS stated yesterday
that the losses sustained at Ontonsgon,
Michigan. by that company are fully
covered by insurance policies for $780,
coo on mills, machine shops, dry kiln,
stock, etc. and $292. 600 On lumber and
stock In store. The logs belonging to
the company Ia that locality are in ths
river three miles from the place where
the fire occurred.
Regarding reports that the fire might
interfere with the settlement Of the
financial obligations, the statement was
made that the company has an inventory
Of very nearly So 000. 900 outside OF this
plant, and can run its business success
fully on an inventory Of 50 500, 600 Ii
has on hand enormous stocks of lumber,
raw material, matches, etc, free frsm
Indebtedness There is therefore, no
ground for reports of haaueiAl empar
rassmSnt on account OF the lostes at
Ontonsgon.
The insurance on the lumber Is
f1Sf sOVOi Ou MI tne CbheS properly
| $200, 600 The business and residences
property wss well insured. AS the sole
suppors of tie town wEs the Diamond
Match Company. its future depends
| upon the eour that company will take.
/ The consensus Of opinion is that the
company will abandon the place. The
village Of Trout Greek Is not destroyed,
but is seriously threatened, as the
choppings in the unoerbrush and woods
are fsrcely burning ali around 1t
