Association and other independent and
industrial organizations. and Cockrell The statement
accuses Moore of bad faith
and unfair treatment of their associates,
and concludes thus: “We believe that
Representatives Moore and Cockrell have

tory of events, was a senatorial candidate,

A MAN FOR A WIFE.
Scheme of a Slick Scoundrel to *
Obtain Chicago* Money.
Henry Sewers of a middle
aged man, ’ is mourning over the loss of a
supposed wife and $150. He courted
Johanna Sebus, with whom he became
for “acquainted” through au advertisement
a wife which he had inserted in sev
eral newspapers, and a week ago they
married. She left him as soon as the cere
many wasoverto huirv to the Bedside of «
dying father. He gave her $150 when she
went away and promised to >uve her $2 -
000 on her return. Tuesday moraine she
came back and commenced to ur<re Sewers
togive herthemouey. He told her to wait
a lew days, and she became angry A
fight followed, during which Sewers dis¬
cov. red that his “wife” was a man and
that the imposter was simply trying to
swindle him out of his money. Julianna
escaped.
OCEAN HORRORS.
Four Vessels Wrecked and
Many Lives Lost.
A cablegram of Thursday from London
says: A foreign steamer was wrecked off
Start Point, near Dartmouth, during the
blizzard. The crew aud passengers were
drowned. The name of the steamer is
not known. The schooner Dunnsdale
was also lost off Start Point. The cap¬
tain was saved, but four of the crew
were drowned. The schooner Lizzie El¬
len met her fate. Two of her crew were
drowned. From returns already in, and
which are not complete, it is known that
eighty lives were lest on account of
shipping disasters along the The coast. British Sev¬
eral vessels are missing. Valparaiso, ship
Dryaei, from Shields for has
been wrecked off Start Point All on
board—twenty-four including persons in all—were
drowned, some passengers.
WHAT POLK THINKS
Of the Election of General Pal¬
mer to The Senate.
President Polk, of the National Far¬
mers’ Alliance, declined to express his
views on the election, in Illinois, of Gen¬
eral Palmer to the senate, and the posi¬
tion of the three alliancemen in the recent
contest in Illinois,' further than to
say that it appeared to him to
have been a fight between the
republican and democratic parties, rather
than a contest between those two thought, parties
and thealliance. Tbealliance, he
had fought manfully for principles, aud,
though they had not been victorious in
sending the farmers’ alliance-men to the
senate, he believed that Palmer’s election
would generally be regarded with more
favor than that of any of the other candi¬
dates.
NEWSPAPERS BOYCOTTED.
Their Presses Idle for Want of
Water to Run Them.
The Americus, Ga., Recorder and the
Americus Times publish a joint card an¬
nouncing the suspension of the publica¬
tion of their papers. This suspension i-:
forced by the action of the water com¬
missioners of tho city raising the water
rate 150 per cent, refusing to contract to
supply water for motors which run the
presses, even at the advance, and notify¬
ing the papers that the water wi 1 bo cut
off at any moment. Some days ago the
papers published the fact that, in order
to keep up the supply, the commissioners
were turning into the reservoir the town
creek, into which is emptied, j ust above
the waterworks, the drainage of the
filthiest portion of the city, hence the
action of the commissioners.
Quite a Difference.
A ripple of excitement was caused in
the Arkansas assembly Thuisday morn¬
ing by the reading of the report Irom
the auditor, in which h>- said that an
error had been made in the computation
of figures iu his report to the house some
days since. The corrected figures showed
that instead of the state resources being
$1,012,000, th v were only $740,000, a
difference of $ ’76.000.

compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder ana
6tren gthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of

NERVOUS DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has feed shlj
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in
all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individ¬
ual. Niue-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are
dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an,
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of tho
body are carried on, it contain is the first sufficient to suffer quantity for want of the of Lind perfect of nutriment nutrition.
Ordinary food does not a and labor impose*
n icessary to repair the wear our present mode of living
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production of the South A merican Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous
