Before the train arrived conductor L.
B. Shepherd telephoned sheriff Gregg
that there were two desperadoes on
the train, and that he would poiut
tbem out to him on their arrival. The
sheriff called on Mr. Morse to assist
him in making the arrest. When the
train arrived, Mr. Shephard pointed
out the men, aud the sheriff command
ed them to surrender. The reply
from them was a shot from a revolver,
which took effect in Mr. Morse's
mouth, the ball lodging in the back of
his neck. They started south toward
the river and on the xoad captured
two horses from a farmer plowing,
and struck for the river, where arriv
ing they found a boat, abandoned their
horses and took to the river, with a
large number of citizens mounted on
horseback, in carriages and on foot
with arms closely pursuing them on
both sides of the river. One of the
desperadoes was shot while floating
down the river, the other surrendered,
and brought back to Fremont and
lodged in jail. He gave his name as
George Swain. The opinion prevails
generally that they are. the persons
who have been engaged in numerous
burglaries committed in the central

It is said that an enterprise is now
on foot that in breadth and bigness is
the largest thing in this decade. It is
a plan to get out of the grip of the
United States $13,000,000, with accu
mulated interest for nearly twenty
years. The money was received for
cotton taken from private individuals
and sold by government agents. It
was the intention of Secretary Chase
to hold this money in trust for the
Eersons to whom the cotton belonged,
ut for some years nobody has been
able to obtain a dollar. The new
combination has brains, courage and
money behind it, so it may win. It
will play for a big stake. Chicago

WHERE HE CAN HE CONbULTEI) ON
THE THROAT, and LUNGS, CATARRH, KIDNEY '
r
AND BLADDER AND FEMALE DISEASES. AS WELL AS ALL
CHRONTC AND NERVOUS DISEASES.
DR. FISHBLATT
Has discovered the greatest cure iu the world for weakness of tint, back anil litnbj,
involuntary discharges, impotency, general debility, nervousness, languor, confus
ion of ideas, palpitation f the heart, timidity, trembling, dimue.ss uf stent or giddi
ness, diseases of the head, throat, nose or skin. atlVctioii" of the livr, Imigt, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arising from solitary habits ot vnitth, and
Bccret practices more fatal to the victims than the .snui:.- ot Syrens to the mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their mot radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that are guttering from the evil practices, which destroy their mental and
physical systems causing
NERVOUS DEBILITV,
the symptoms of which are a dull, distressed mind, which unfits tlicm from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, distresses
the action of the heart, causing Hushes of heat, depression of spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forgettulnes, unnatural

and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who have become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening senators with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to testacy the living lyre, may call with
full confidence
MARRIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreativc power, impotency, or any other disqualification -.peed-ily
relieved. He who places himself under the can of Dr. Fishblatt may religiously
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon hi, skill as a.
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor "restored. This distressing allliction which ren
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the peaalty paid by the victim for
improper indulgence. Young- people are apt to commit excesses from not being
Aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understand;
this subject will deny that procreation is lostsooner by those falling into improper
habits than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy off
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind and bodv arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss ot"
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death.
A CURE WARRANTED.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned pretenders who keep them tritling.mouth
after month taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply immediately.
DR. FISHBLATT
Graduate of one of the most eminent colleges of tho United States, has effected some
of the most astonishing cures that were, ever known; many troubled with ringing in
the ears'aud'head when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at certain sounds,
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind wero
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. F. addresses all those who have injured themselves by improper indulgence
and solitary habits which ruia both mind and body, unfitting them for business,
study ."society or marriage.

youth, viz: Weakness of the back aud limbs, pains in the bead and dimness of
sight, -loss otauscular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous irritabil
ity, derangement of digestiyeuactlonsrtebility, consumption, etc.
