LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL.

One OF the largest railroads on the
Pacific coast has decided to substitute
oil in place of coal as fuel on its en-
,gines. But whether the experiment will
prove a success remains to be seen. In
this respect it differs from the famous
,Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
made a decided success in Its fifty years
OF cures Of stomach ills, such as dyspep-
STA, Indigestion and biliousness. Do
not experiment with unknown rene
dies when this safe and reliable medi-
cine can be had OF any druggist. Try
a bottle and be convinced. 1t will build
up your debiIilated system strengthen
your weak stomach and make it capable
of digesting the food taken into it, and
when this is done health must natur-
ally follow.

AUGUST FLOWER.

at is a surprising fact" says Prot
Houston, that in my travels in all
parts Of the world, for the last ten
years I have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,
deranged liver and stomach. and for
constipation. I find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling Office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. It does not inture the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for
sour stomachs and Indigestion" Sam

HoYT NOW AT HOME.
Playwright is Receiving Treatment at
His Country Residence.

Charles H. Hoyt, the playwright, has
where he was committed July 20. He is
now under treatment at his home in
Charlestown-
There seems to be a difference of opin-
ion as to the playwright's condition.
Some believe that certain persons with
designs on the fortune of $500 900 or $780,,
him placed in the asylum, while others
p1retic as certified to by one of the ply
sicians. At the time of his commitment
a correspondent of a Chicago paper wrote
OF the scene as follows:
The last curtain has rung down for
poor Charley HOyt, the funmaker. The
lights are growing dim. The musicians
are packing up their instruments. The
audience has turned its back on the man
who made millions laugh by his stingIess
humor.
In the silent tomb lies the dust of Caro-
line Miskel-Hoyt, his ideal, the woman
whose death broke the golden thread
which held him to light and life and hap
piness- She is scarcely more dead than
he Today he made his last appearance
IN public 1t was a vain appeal of a poor,
wrecked mind. unconscious of the wreck
age, that he might be allowed to go at
large. 1t was vain, because impossible.
The hands which have shut the doors of
an asylum upon Charley Hoyt, the play
wright, have done it in mercy. He has
paresis. There is but one cure for him

has found in the quiet of her grave.
