which our late sherilTS have had Of permitting

To the Hon. James d. Waters, Judge of
the Circuit Court for Hartford county:
The Grand Jury for the February term 1897
OF the Circuit Court for Hartford county, re-
spectfully informs your Honor that 1t has dis
posed of all the business presented for its con-
sideration.
We have been In session five days and have
examined forty-eight witnesses, found four
teen indictments, and dismissed two charges
OF violations of law.
Considerable of our time has been spent
investigating alleged violations of the LOCAL
option law, and where IN our opinion We have
found sufficient evidence to send the case to
the court and petit jury for trial, we have
done so. The most difficult violations to reach
are those effected through the drug stores and
prescriptions. In these cases it has been hard
to get any evidence. Sales of cider aud am
brosia are also ways OF violating the law. If
the law is to be made effective, the Legisla-
ture should amend u on these points. Either

An Old HellIpr.

When the rheumatism first preempts certain
tracts of your anatomy it may be ousted easily
but when it becomes an old settler it is pretty
hard to bulge. Remember this when you ex.
perience the first twinges of this obstinate and
agonizing disease, and attack it with Hostel
ter's Stomach Btters. 1t will then make
tracks," and possibly leave you unmolested
and in peaceable possession of your own COM
fort in the future. Peril always attend rheu-
matism, if it become chronic, on account of its
tendence to attack the heart. Usually it is
complicated with kidney trouble. Certain il is
that the kidneys. when aroused 10y the Btters,
will el inmate impurities which give rise to
rheumatism and dropsy. In Indictment or wet
conditions of the weather, the Bitters, taken in

90 Years of Cures.

We all know that any tired muscle can he
restored by rest. Your stomach is muscle.
Dyspepsia is its mauner of saying II am tired.
Give me rest" To rest the stomach you IN ust
do its work outside of the body.
This is the Shakers method of curing indi-
gestior. and its success is best attested by the
fact that these people are practically free from
what is without doubt the most prevalent of
all diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial not
only contains digeSted food which is promptly
absorbed without taxing the tired organs, but
it is likewise an aid TO the digestion Of other
foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bottle
will convince you of its merit, and csc you
can obtain through all druggists.
-LaXol is the best medicine for children.
Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil.

To Stamp ONT Tuberculosis.

Members OF the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board met Governor Lowndes on Wednesday,
and conferred with him in regard to plan for
stamping out tuberculosis, which is said to
exist among cattle In various parts of the
State.
The plan submitted by the Live Stock
Board provides for the appointment of IS or
20 competent veterinary surgeons, who shall
be paid 800 each for three months services,
and whose duty 1t shall be to make thorough
examination of the cattle in the State and re-
port all cases of the disease that may be found,
in order that the animals may be killed at
once and the further spread of the disease pre-
vented. At the present time the only exami-
nations made are at the request of owners of
herds, and in many instances tuberculosis is
present even when the owners do not suspect
it, and in other instances the owners fail to
let the fact be known, but sell the cattle to
the padding and sausage butchers who make
the meat up into their food products at once,
aud sell it.
The Governor will consider the plan pro.
posed and decide what to do later.
