KILHEK'S SWAMP-ROOT e ill CURED ME. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Gentlemen:—“l desire to tell you just how I was, so that the public may know of your wonderful Swamp-Root. Two years ago last October I had spells of vomiting; I could not keep anything in my stomach; the Doctor mid 1 had consumption of the stomach and bowels; continued to run-down in weight; I was reduced to GO lbs. I would vomit blood, and at one time as much as three pints; we had two of the best Physicians and they said my case was hopeless. “Oh, my sufferings were terrible.’’ A neighbor told us of your Swamp-Boot, and my husband got a bottle: I took it to please him. I used six bottles of Swamp-Root and I am now nearly as well as ever. I weigh 108 !&»., do my own work and take care of my baby. Every one says, 1 was raised from tin dead, and many will not believe that I am still living until they come and see me, and then they can’t believe their own eyes, I am looking- so well.™ Very gratefully.

Howard (excuse us i for using the title ‘‘Rev.’’), formerly of I Nappanee, and the Prohibition candidate for congress in the Thirteenth , district two years ago, was arrested recently ut Englewood, HL, and now occupies a cell in Cook county jail. He was indicted on a charge of forgery and operating a confidence game and he gave bond for J 1,500 for his appear- ! ance, but this was forfeited Muy 22d. Lo a reporter of the Chicago Tiibnne he said : “Had I known my ease was to be tried May 22 I should have given । myself up. I knew nothing about it until I was arrested. I know nothing about the Heywood & Morrill Rattan company of Boston. I suhpose Mr. iSimmington, who cashed the SSO cheek for me that caused all the trouble, got the company to cash it for him.” Jonathan Hickman, the murderer, was pardoned recently from the Northern prison by Governor Matthews. He was sentenced for life and had served about 20 years. The crime for which he was convicted was one of the foulest that ever blackened the criminal records of St. Joseph county. It was the murder of an j aged Polish couple, Joseph and Mary ' Cikoski, who lived near New Carlisle, jin the fall of 1874. The motive of i the crime was robbery. Upon what • grounds Hickman’s pardon was secured does not appear plain to the public, though Governor Matthews must have had strong reasons for granting the parole. The governor, J nevertheless, is being severely censured for his action in the matter. Notice of Ditch Letting.
