Faultless Family Medicine
"I have used Simmons Liver Regula
tor for many years, having made it
my only Family Medicine. My moth
er before me was very partial to it.
It is a safe, good and reliable medi
cine for any disorder of the 83'stcm,
and if used in time is a great pre
ventative of sickness. I often recom
mend it to my friends, and shall con
tinue to do so.
"Kcv. James M. ltollins,
"TastorM. E. Church So. Fairfield, Va."
TIME AND DOCTOR'S BILLS SAVED
by always keeping Simmons Liver
Regulator in the house.
"I have found Simmons Liver Regu
lator the best family medicine I ever
used for anything that may happen,
have used it iu Indigestion, Couc,
Diahkikka, Biliousness, and found
it to relieve immediately. After eat
ing a hearty supper, if, on going to
bed, I take about a tcaspoonful, I
never feel the effects of the supper
eaten.

KILLED BY INDIANS.
Benson, Ariz., June 5. William Diehl,
herding cattle near Crowley's ranch, sixty
miles north of IJeuson, on the San l'edro
river was killed by Indians Friday after
noon. John Bcanlan, also on the ranch,
defended himself and escaped. Intclli
gence of the murder was brought here
last night by J. A. Crowley, owner of
the ranch. The military ot Ft. Huachuca
were notified and haye gone in persuit of
the Indians. They were undoubtedly
the Apaches who left San Carlos last
week, and number twenty in all. They
arc supposed to be headed for Mexico.
IIIDDUN TREASURE.
The Calcutta correspondent of the
London IHmes writes: Mr. Westlaud,
acting secretary of the financial depart
ment, lately yisited Gwalior to make ar
rangements for taking oyer three and a
half crores of rupees, which the regency
is lending to the Indian government. He
found that treasure to the extent of over
5,000,000 sterling had been accumulat
ed in pits and wells sunk in the floors
of vaults in the palace Lenana. The vaults
are situated partially under ground, light
being admitted through narrow openings
in the walls. After removing the earth
to the depth of six feet the workmen un
covered a smooth, level pavement of
large flagstones. When those were lifted
they came upon a square pit, filled to the
brim with glittering silver. There were
several such pits, two or three of them
containing jewels, but the majority con
tained each about fifteen lakhs of Gwa
lior rupees. In each pit was a copper
plate, on which was engravod the amount
of the contents and the name of the ofll
cial who placed it there. As a rule, only
the freshly-coined rupees had been buried
and the secret had been intrusted to a few
confidential servants. The money was
dug up in Mr. Westland's presence and
shoveled into bags which were sent to
the Calcutta mint in installments of eigh
ty lakhs each.
TRIPLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Huron, Dak., June 6. Simon Nelson
shot and killed Mrs. Shaw, her son, aged
fifteen, and her sister, Mrs. Lyman, aged
twenty-two, this morning. The tragedy
was the resultofa contest over a tree claim,
which had been decided in fayor of Mrs.
Shaw. Nelson also shot a man named
Kilsey through the body, fatally wound
ing him. Mr. Lyman was with the party,
but escaped by getting behind a team.
Nelson returned home after the shooting
and blew his brains out. The crime was
committed about twelve miles from this
place.
DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE CAUSED BY
DIFFERENCE IN RELJGIOUS BELIEF.
Pittsburg, June 6. Frederick Aermann
this afternoon killed his ninteen-months-old
daughter, beat his wife fatally, and
then cut his throat, serving the windpipe
and juglar vein. Hermann is a Luthern and
his wife a Catholic, but they never differ
ed on matters of faith until recently,
when Mrs. Hermann determined to have
thejbaby baptized into her church instead
of the Luthern. This was done and the
father remained in ignorance until yester
day. When he went home this afternoon
he told his wife it was now a question of
the death of one of them. He then start
ed to get a knife, when Mrs. Hermann
jumped out of the window. He follow
ed her and, catching her at a nei;hbor,s
beat her into insensibility with a brick,
ne then returned to his house and, taking
up a razor, cut the babies throat, almost
severing the head from the body. lie
then cut his own throat from ear to ear
and will probably die to-night. He has
written several notes in which he accuses
his wife of having deceived him, but says
he forgives her.

DAVITT MAKES APPEAL.
New York, June 7. The following
appeal from Michael Davitt has been
cabled to John Fitzgerald, president of
the Irish Natianal league in America;
Patrick Ford and John Boyle O'Reilly:
Scariff, County Clare, June 7. The
work of exterminating our race is going
on daily. The people are contesting ev
ery inch of ground with spirit. Their
resistance is admirable, but the odds are
terribly against them. The tory policy
of eviction and forced emigration we
must resist as one man. Workingmen in
America in their own interest should pro
test against this pauper labor being
forced upon their market. I would sug
gest that a deputation of friends of our
cause and the knights of labor wait upon
the president of the United States and in
vite his attention to England's policy in
driving thousands of our people every
week from Ireland to the states. Human
ity and enlightened self interest unite in
urging America to action in this matter.
We want the means to succor the evicted
and make some small recompense to the
imprisoned who sacrifice their liberty to
injustice. Bodyke is fighting the battle
of Ireland. Michael Davitt.
The most sensible thing the democrats
of New York have done for many a long
year is the adjustment of the differ
ence between the two wings of the party
in that state represented respectively by
President Cleveland and Gov. Hill. For
a time it looked as if the Empire state
was hardly large enoguh to hold the
growing ambitions of the two men; at
present writing the differences which a
month or so ago threatened a serious
breach in the party have been satisfactor
ily adjusted. The president and his wife
will pay the governor an extended visit
in the new executiye mansion and the
future campaigns in which Grover is to
run for president and David for governor
will be discussed with no repertorial ears
in the vicinity. In the meantime the
sentiment in favor of retiring both of
these distinguished statesmen to the se
clusion of private life is rapidly gaining
strength all over the country. Gazette
Journal.
A stranger fell on the sidewalk in
the streets of New York about two
months ago and cut his forehead. He
was found to be insensible, and fortun
ately the police could not smell any alco
hoi in connection with his breath and
they took him to the hospital instead of
locking him in a cell. The physicians
supposed it to be a case of appoplexy
and applied the usual remedies without
avail. It was decided that the man
would soon die.
But while a bandage was being put on
his head one of the doctors felt a scar on
his scalp and called attention to it. Dr.
Parker, who has made brain disease a
specialty for a good many years, examin
ed the scar, and finding that there was a
small hole in the skull, concluded that
the patient had been trephined for some
brain trouble and thought that it might
not be simple appoplexy that had pros
trated him and began a re-examination
of the patient.
He discovered that the left arm was
cold and apparently dead to the touch.
Now the doctor found in his experiments
that the left arm had a peculiar connec
tion with the brain convolutions near
the top of the head on the right side.
He concluded that there was some irrita
tion of that particular part of the brain
of this patient. He took him to an oper
ating table at once, cut out a large but
ton from the right upper skull and in
serted his probe to see if there was any
thing discoverable under the surface.
He found a cystic tumor of considerable
extent and cut it out leaving a deep cav
ity in the brain. The hemorrhage was
considerable, but was soon got under
control and the scalp was replaced and
sewed up. While this was going on one
of the attendants cut the tumor in half
for examination and found a large bullet
attached to one side of it.
The patient recovered under the care
ful treatment of Dr. Parker, and when
he was able to talk it was found that he
was an ex-confederate major who had
been shot in the head at Gettysburg, and
had carried a bullet in his brain all these
years. He had suffered much from it,
and his medical advisers were of the
opinion that it would kill him sooner or
later. He went home the other day a
well man for the first time in nearly
twenty-five years. It was ..lucky fall
that he had on the New YcCv -ent

en more favorable, however, is the ex
hibit for the third week of May, now
that most of the big roads in the country
have made their reports. The figures
for sixty-six lines in that week reveal an
expansion of receipts, when compared
whith the same week in 1886, of a little
more than 19 per cent. The business of
the country, as revealed by a very relia
ble index, seems to be in a most prosper
