GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint. More than
seyenty-ive per cent. of the people in
the United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effects such as
Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual
Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart,
Heartburn, Water-brash, Gnawing and
Burning Parns at the Pit of the Stomach,
Yellow Skin, Coated Tangue and Dis
agreeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming
up of Food after Eating, Low Spirits,
etc. Go to your Druggist and get a
bottle of August Flower for 25 or IS
cents. Two doses will relieve you.
Try it.

The VERDICT in the Burdick murder
case in Buffalo was rendered by Judge
Murphy this morning. The summing
I'D of the matter is to the effect that
Burdick's death was due to a compound
fracture of the skull from blows deliv-
erel by some unknown person with a
dull-edged weapon. The murder is
therefore, as much of mystery as ever
and Notwithstanding the many theories
advanced it may remain so until the
day when that which has been done in
secret shall be proclaimed upon the
housetOp.

ASSAULTED BY NEGRO.-Mary Carr,
the 12-year-old daughter of John Carr,
a coal inspector for Cashier, Curran q
Bullitt, at Maybeury, Mcdowell county,
w. Va, was assaulted near her fathers
home Sunday night by an unknown ne
gro. The child was caught by the negro
and carried into the woods. Her screams
attracted persons in the vicinity, with
the result that the negro was captured.
He fought desperately to get away, but
was overpowered and placed on pass
ing train and carried to the county jail
at Welch before the affair became gener-
ally known. The scene of the crime is
near where little Mary Jones was outrag-
ed by Harvey Williams last Friday.

HUSBAND SHOT DEAD.--Filled with
anger at finding another man the guest
of his wife yesterday in New York,
William ]. Peppler threw the visitor out
into the hall, fought him from the third
floor to the front door of the apartment
house in which he lived, with the wife
screaming and weeping at their heels,
and was at last shot dead by the man
whom he was attacking. This man was
William Earl DObson, cashier in a
stock brokers' Office. He fled and the
police sent out general alarm for him.
Peppler was about 26 years old and a
clerk. He had not been married long.
A policeman, summoned by the cries of
the other tenants in the house, who were
alarmed by the shooting, rushed into the
building. In the hall he stumbled over
the dead body of Peppler, on which his
wife was lying unconscious. Peppler
had been shot in the side, the bullet
passing clear through his body. After
being revived Mrs. Peppler said that she
and Dobson were together when her
husband returned Unexpectedly from
work and fight followed, resulting in
Dobson being thrown out Of the room
and pursued downstairs by her husband.
In the lower hall the men clinched again
and Dobson fired one shot After that
the woman remembered nothing, for she
tainted. DobsOn is said to have a wife
and two children living somewhere in
North Carolina. Until recently he was
an expert accountant in the Office of the
Southern Railway Company in Wash
ington.

Cation, OF Alexandra, designed 10 pro-
tect wholesale merchants against the
fraudulent sale in bulk of stocks of goods
purchased from the retail merchants.
The bill is one of the great interest to
the wholesale trade.
Mr.. Edwards, of West Point, will
shortly offer in the House bill to require
coal merchants to give a long, rather
than a short ton of coal to their Gus
toners.
The Mann bill had a hearing before
the finance committee of the House yes
terday. Judge Mann made an appeal
for the passage of his bill as it came
from the Senate.
Judge w. g.. Robertson, representing
the State liquor dealers association, and
J.T. Lawless, representing the local liquor
dealers of Norfolk and Richmond, were
present Judge Robertson made Wig
orOus attack upon the bill. He declared
that it had been amended until it was
not at all the bill it was intended to be,
and was now thrown as sop to the large
number of people who petitioned for the
original bill. He declared that the leg
islature had an indirect way to create
high license without giving the liquor
people a chance for defense. At the
noon hour the committee adjourned UNI
til 1880 O'Clock tonight, when it will
give another hearing to the bill from
that hour until 4 O'Clock.

were preserved and later deposited in their

The bones were simply piled into the
graves with the skulls resting on top. and

CURIOUS INDIAN GRAVES
RECENT ACQUISITION OF THE PEA
BoDY MUSEUM AT CAMBRIDGE.
TO Those Existing I'm Various
Parts OF Indiana.

correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, May 16.-In the
Mound Builders Hall. as ii is called. in the
Peabody Museum of Harvard University,
there has recently been placed on exhibit
ton an Indian grave, containing the mortal
remains OF two North American Indians,
arranged exactly as it was discovered not
long ago by an archaeological expedition
sent out under the joint auspices OF the
Peabody Museum and the University of
California. From our modern point OF
view 1t is not a very spacious grave,
especially for a double grave, for it
is only about two feet ten inches in length.
In the opinion of Mr.. d. I. Bushnell, jr., of
the Peabody Museum, who, with Mr.. w. c.
Farabee, of Harvard, discovered the old
grave. II is evident, however. that the flesh
had been removed from the bones before
burial-a custom that survived among some
OF the American tribes well into the last
century. The skeletons were, therefore, in
tered without much regard to longitudinal
comfort; although looking down into the
grave ons might imagine that the two In
dams had been buried in sort of tete-a-
tete. for their two skulls are face TO face
across an earthenware bowl that was
buried with them
The grave was originally found under the

the sand and other detritus away from the
the current that an eddy is formed on the
south side of the land mass, and into this
eddy most of the earth that Is torn away
from the northern bank is carried and de-
posted against the south shore in this
quiet part of the waters; so that while the
north side of the island is constantly wear
ing away, the southern shore is being puiit
up and extended, and thus the island is
gradually travelling down the stream.

to be very difficult one; 1t Is pr9 y 70

will be no earth to carry around to the
southern shore, and that part OF the island

Mr.. Corthell told some very interesting
things about Rosario which is now well
known as very important river seaport
of Argentina, with ocean steamers from
Europe constantly discharging and taking
on freight at it's docks. II has grown from
$1,000 to 12,O00 in population in the course
of a few years Vessels drawing twenty
one feet can ascend to its docks, and it Is
expected to deepen the channel so that
larger steamships may make Rosario their
Rosario is the largest exporter Of the
millions of bushels of wheat which Argen-
tina now sends. to Europe Mr.. CortheH
showed an interesting view OF the small
mountain Of sacks filled with wheat that
had been piled up for carriage TO Rosario
We send our wheat to Europe from At
lantic ports In bulk. But Argentina, like
our Pacific States. exports Its grain in
sacks
Another picture showed the process OF
loading these sacks on the steamers. The
sacks are hauled up to a considerable height
above the vessel, from which an inclined
plane extends to the deck of the ship;
down this smooth plane the sacks slide into
the hold In which they are stored
This Is, Of course. very slow and incon-
venient method of handling the grain in
comparison with our elevator system. which
does the work much more cheaply and ex-
peditiously. Mr.. Corthell says that efforts
are being made TO interest capitalists en-
saged in the elevator business In this coun-

the sociability is delightful. These are
