SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried ii
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

LOyERING'S REPRIMAND.
Secretary of War Scores the Officer
As Follows.

Secretary of War Scores the Officer
AS Follows.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10.-Secre-
tary Alger has made public the repri-
mand administered to Capt. Lowering
by sentence of court-martial, as fol
lows:
''By order of the president, the pro-
ceedings, findings and sentence in the
case of Capt. Leonard A. Lowering,
4th infantry, are approved. 1T is,
however, disappointing that an offense
so grave, and as an example SO far
reaching as this, should have been
visited with so light penalty. There
is no question but Private Hammond
deserved punishment for his conduct,
but he should have received it in q
lawful way. The military laws gov
erning the army are explicit. They
prescribe the duties of officers and en-
listed men, with the penalties for
their violation. Under them both
have rights and obligations. When,
therefore, an officer with the intelli-
gence and experience with which
Capt. Lowering is credited, not only vio-
lates these laws, but exhibits such a
lack of humanity as is shown in this
case, he should receive a more severe
sentence than mere reprimand. Com
hitting such acts dgrade the officer
more than the soldier he Furnishes
and shows unfitness for the care anC
command of men. Under excitement
men frequently do things which il
cooler moments they recall with sor
row and regret; but this case is aggra
waited by the fact that after weeks OF
deliberation this officer evinces nc
regret for his wrongful acts"
