ments were made in an informal con?
versation on an afternoon when no tes?

from the agency on the military re?
servation, closo to the post, and once
made a dash for the gutes, but, on re?

WALTER R. JONES, City Clerk.
A regular habit of body is indis?
pensable to health; yet few disorder,
are moro common thau costiveuesss
By this term is implied a sluggish con?
dition of the bowels, which causes
them to retain their contents longer
than is consistent with health, and
renders the act of evacuation difficult
and paiuful. Headache, dizziness,
fuvorishness, a sense of fullness in the
head, loss of memory, incapacity for
oontiuuoos mental effort, and a gene?
ral feeling of oppression in the abdo?
minal region, are among tbe accom?
paniments of this complaint. The spe?
cific for it is Ilostetter's Stomach Bit
tors. This famous stomachic and al?
terative acts beneficially npon tho three
principal organs connected with the
processes of digestion, secretion and
excretion, viz: The stomaoh. the liver
and the intestines. Torpidity of the
liver is, in most oases, the immediate
cause of constipation. Bile is mode?
rately aperient, and if its regulur dis?
charge into the upper bowels be in?
terrupted, obstructions accumulate and
harden in the intestinal canal, and
purgation becomes necessary. The
Bitters, being anti-bilious as well as a
tonic aud laxative, suou restore tbe
dereliot liver to a natural condition, as
well us relieve aud tone tho bowels.
The result is tho permanent establish?
ment of a regular habit of body. No
disorder of tho stomach or its depend?
encies, uu affection of thu nervous
system, uo ailment involving physical
weakness and mental despondency,
can resist the rcuovatiug, regulating,
purifying operatiou of this famous al?
terative. J20tU',l

ployed a friend to negotiate with tho
captain of the Rothsay etrnruer "to
cast out a bit o' his tow aud take them
wi' him, as he was guun that wuy at

difference, praj?" asked the negotia?
tor, "between boiug rowed over with
oars and towed by a steamer?" "Dif?

Box Horse Thief Lynched.?Jas.
Ron*, a boy horse thief, was arrested
in Holt County, Mo., on the 18thinst.,

resistance, and hanged to a tree by the

A Good Joke.?The President
General has been invited to deliver the
address at tbe dedication of the Lin?
coln monument. As Grant has had the
good sense to let tbe public know that
he "couldn't make a speech if be

this invitation to make a long-winded
harangue over n dead man is "crowd?

Titles are not worth much except iu
England. A reason for this may be
that in England tbe title has * till im?
portant and valuable privileges at?
tached to it, while in other parts of
Europe it is chiefly useful to enable its
wearers to marry an Amerioan girl?
which, after ail, is a privilege.
A young fellow in a Western towu
was fined 810 for kissing a girl against,

rough about it, and be careful to do it
when her father was not about.
Ou Saturday, a confidence man ap?
