Is Life
Worth Living?
That depends upon the Liver,
for if the Liver is inactive the
whole system is out of order
the breath is had, digestion
poor, hend dull or aching, en
ergy and hopefulness gone,
the spirits are depressed, a
heavy weight exists after eat
ing, with general despondency
ami the Lines. The liver is the
housekeeper of the health; and
a harmless, simple remedy that
acts like Nature, does not con
stipate afterwards or require
constant taking, does not inter
fere with business or pleasurp
during its use, makes Simmons
Liver Regulator a medical per
fection. I have tested its virtues personally,
and know that for I)yspejia, Billious
ness and Throbbing Headache, it is the
lest medicine the world ever saw.
Have tried forty other remedies before
Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of
them gave more than temporary relief,
but the Regulator not only relieved but
cured. II. H. JONES,

THE LATEST NEWS.
A STUDENT ON TRIAL.
St. Petersburg, May 2. Ouc of the
persons just Convicted of plotting against
tho Czar is a student named Orealianeoff,
son of a high Russian ollicial. During
the trial he displayed the highest intelli
gence and maintained a most dignified
bearing. Entering into a minute scien
tific dispute with Feodoroff, the renown
ed chemist, he compelled the latter to
acknowledge the prisoner in the right
and he himself in the wrong. At the
final sitting Orealianeoff made a brilliant
speech and declared that neither he nor
his companions feared death. He could
imagine nothing more sublime than to
die in an endeavor to deliver the unfor
tunate Russian people. Hundreds of
young men would imitate him until the
Czar would be compelled to change his
despotic system. The prisoners, with
one exception, were intelligent, gentle
manly and of good families. One said
he intended to murder the Czar with a
revolver, but afterwards thought bombs
to be better.
A CAMP OF TRAMPS.
St. Louis, Mo., May 1. For some time
past the city of East St. Louis has been
infested with a lot of tramps and idle,
worthless fellows who spent most of their
time peddling small articles, which the
police were satisfied were stolen. The
tramps had a camp in the eastern out
skirts of the city and today the chief of
police, Walsh, ordered it to be broken up
and the tramps driven out of town. Leut.
Erwin, with fifteen officers, went to the
camp this afternoon and ordered the
tramps to disperse, and leave the city.
They paid no-attention to the orders and
the police then advanced to arrest them,
tiring two or three shots into the air to
intimidate them. To the great susprise
of the police the tramps returned the fire,
but luckily without effect. The police
then charged the camp in force, firing as
they advanced, and the tramps fled in all
directions. Some of them plunged into
a slough near by and swam for their lives.
All of them finally got outside of the city
limits and joined another camp, where
they consolidated forces and defied the
police. The latter having no authority
outside the city made no further efforts
to airest the fugitives, but left a strong
guard to prevent them from re-entering
the city or going over the field again.
The police found one of the tramps groan
ing on the ground with a pistol ball in
his spine. ne was taken to the county
hospital and will probably die.
a lad's lucky escape.
Columbus, Neb., May 2. As the Al
bion train was pulling out of the depot
this afternoon, Bert Young, the eight-year-old
son of C. H. Young, of this
place, met with a remarkable accident,
ne was walking along the side . of the
track and stepped into a hole. The wind,
which was blowing a gale at the time,
threw him down. His right arm was
caught with one of the train wheels,
tearing the flesh to shreds from the wrist
to near the shoulder without breaking a
bone. Drs. Martyn and Schug attended
the lad and pronounced it one of tho
strangest accidents they ever attended.
The little fellow remarked as the arm
was being dressed: "If I hadn't throw
ed myself from the track I would have
been killed in quick time."
FIRED BY A TRAMP.
Hartford Conn., May 1. George Cow
les, a farmer of Withersfield, last night
discovered a tramp in his barn lighting a
match. He ordered the tramp out, but
the fellow seieed a pitchfork and drove
Mr. Cowles from the barn and then scat
tering hay about, deliberately set fire to
the building, keeping Mr. Cowles out,
but remaining inside himself until the
fire was beyond control. The barn was
totally destroyed. Mr. Cowles called his
neighbors and they pursued the tramp,
who was crippled by a bockghot wound

A STIAMER SINK'S AN5 AM. ON BOARD
PERISH.
Sr. Joiinh, N. F., May 3. A terrible
disaster occurred yesterday at the south
west point of the Channel harbor. The
Glasgow steamship John Knox, laden
with liquors, brick and rolling stock
struck tho reefs near the Channel harbor
and sunk in half an hour. Every soul
on board perished. A furious gale of
wind, with a heavy landward sea and a
dense fog, prevailed at the time of the
accident. Some bodies were recovered,
having been washed on shore.
The steamer foundered last night. Her
distress signals aroused the inhabitants
of Cape Ray, and they soon crowded
the beach, watching the rockets from
the steamer and preparing to render as
sistance. The steamer was only 400
yards from shore, but the boats could
not live in the terrible gale and serf.
Cries of distress by those on board could
be heard on shore. At 2:30 a m., two
hours from the first alarm, the steamer
went down. At daybreak, when the
storm had abated, boats were sent out
and the name of the steamer Mras then
discovered. Her captain's name was
Brolly. She was laden with liquors, iron
and brick. The bodies of Capt. Brolly
and fifteen of the erew of thirty men
have been recovered. One of the bodies
recovered is shown by papers in the
pocket to be that of fireman McGuire.
The vessel was of 1,251 tons register,
and was owned m Glasgow.

TWO KARTHQUKE SHOCKS CAUSE CONSID
ERABLE ALARM.
Albuquerque, N. M., May 3. At 3:13
this afternoon the entire community was
startled by two distinct but almost con
tinuous vibrations of the earth, the direc
tion of which was from east to west, and
contiducd ten seconds. Clocks in all
parts of the city were stopped. Chande
liers vibrated and the plate glass win
dows in the First national bank building
were cracked. Men and women rushed
into the streets, horses were frightened
and men unhitchedtheir teams and hur
riedly led them away, looking upward
at the buildings as if they expected they
were about to topple upon them. Many
persons complained of a feeling akin to
seasickness. In the old town people
were terror stricken, and many natives
feared an eruption from the extinct crater
near here.

McCibeny Musical Family.
From Evening Poet, San Francisco Cal. Jan. 4.
1887. '
The McGibeny family opened at the
Alcazar last night. These are the father,
mother, twelve children and the oldest
son's wife. Each adult McGibeny is a
specialist on one instrument, and most of
the sons and daughters are able to go
through the whole range. There is a
string quartet in the."family," composed
of two violins, cello and bass, that give j
some of Handel's compositions in a mas- j
terful way. There is also a vocal quartet,
formed by Allie, Hugh. Victor and Fred j
which may be considered a notable ana i
popular feature of the entertainment. J
Hugh and Viola are creditable violin so- j
loists. Mrs. i rank and her husband are
cornetists. The youngest child of the
lot, apparently a mere toddler, leads the
orchestra in the opening music. The
performance is very interesting, and the j
programme a popular one, and we think j
that the public who like music that they i
can understand, played by people who I
understand how to play it, will patronize I
the show largely. j
The above company will appear at the j
Watterman Opera House Thursday May j
12th. Prices 35, 50 and 75c j
