A THREATENED BEEF PAMINE.
Gladstone Sure of Ultimate Success.
Chicago, Aug. 26. A morning
paper says that it is assumed in many
quarters that a beef famine ia not far
away. Estimates as'to the loss in
the northwest last winter are that iu
Montana there were 400,000 head, and
in Idaho about 100,000; in Wyoming
about 3C0.0C3 and in Colorado about
500,000, or about 850,000 head in all.
During the summer on account of
the excessive drought it is estimated
that the losses in the beef producing
states will swell the total to 1,500,000
head of beeves.
GLADSTONE JOSTLT. SAKGUIKE.
London', Aug. 26. In an interview
with Gladstone in reply to a question
as to whether he expected to defeat
the government to-night he said:
"No; we don't expect to do that, but
tne fact Mat a year ago the govern
ment's majority was 110 while now
the most sanguine conservatives an
ticipate a majority of only CO on pro
claiming the league shows what a
tremendous change ha3 come over
the face of the country. The change
is coming more rapidly than many
people imagine, and in fact quite fast
enough." Gladstone seemed to be in
high spirits, and declared he was in
excellent health.
A GOVEBNiTENTAti EFFORT.
London, Aug. 26. The govern
ment has issued a whip, which spe
cially and earnestly requests attend
ance of all its supporters at the

A PBECrOUS PAIB.
BbownsvilIiE, Tex., Aug. 2(5. Lo
renzo Vila, the celebrated bandit re
cently captured up the river, was
brought back yesterday and placed
in the jail at Matamoras. This man
and Bill Cruse, a half-breed Mexican,
and negro ruffian, from Austin,
Texas, were the men who murdered
sheriff Martin and collector Henry,
of Stave county, several years ago,
for whom a reward of $15,000 was
offered. They are said to have been
under the protection of state author
ities at Tamaulipas ever since. They
are incarcerated on a gunboat down
the coast.
THE GEOBGIA CONVICT SYSTEM.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26. At last the
ax has fallen and the iniquitous con
vict lease system of Georgia will
have to go. By executive order
signed under great excitement
governor Gordon has called on the
lessees of the penitentiary, companies
Nos. 2 and 3, to show cause why their
leases should not be annulled and
there is no doubt as to the governor's
intention to declare the lease an
nulled owing to the violation of its
provisions by the lessees.
Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery." Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter wbich ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu
monia, catarrh, consumption'or any of
the family of throat and nose and head
and lung obstructions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them,
that is to take Boschee's German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell
you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if
everything else has failed you, you
may.depend upon this for certain.
Rises From the Anxious Seat.
St. John says that next year the
prohibition vote will be a million.
Henry George says the labor vote
will be a million. The American
party says it will have a million
votes. If a few more parties put on
these million airs wo wish to know
where the Democratic and Bepnbli
can vote is coming from. Alia.

Then read Dr. Flint's Treatise on
Heart Disease, and learn what it is,
what causes it what diseases it gives
rise to, what its symptoms are, and
and how it may be attacked. If you
find that you have heart disease,
ask your druggist for a bottle of Db.

fire service, as turned over by me by
direction of the committee on fire and
water, on the 24th day of May, 1887,
for the purpose of having a new boil
er placed thereon, and have placed
the same in active fire service.
And would respectfully ask your
honorable body to change sec 6 of
ordinance 939 from 200 feet to 50 feet

By invitation of the council chief

The Verdict Unanimous.
"W.D. Suit, DniR2ist Bipmis, Ind.,
testifies: '! can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of ltheuinatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have over handled in my 20 vears'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
half dollar a bottle at W. E. Dement &
Co.'s Drug Store.
