S. Bosserman returned Friday eve ning from the state of Washington, where he has been for several weeks buying sheep for the Chicago market. He says he is doing fairly well in the business, although he has not made anything on some of his shipments. He is not at all in love with the region of country about North Yakima and has no great admiration for any country that has to be irrigated to produce crops. He says they raise nice looking fruit there, but he would not give a bushel of our home grown fruit for all they raise, because of the greatly superior flavor. Their product looks well but it is all watery and tasteless. He will return next week to purchase more sheep for the eastern market. He says nearly everybody out there seem to be Populists and all are hard up. There is no sale for property in the towns, as the most of them were boomed to death. LaPorte Daily Argue.

Indiana. Dec. 21, ISSS, and died Sept. 1. 1896. He was married Sept. 9. 1885, to Lizzie Keebert who sur- : vives him. He leaves also his father and mother, two brothers and two sisters. We are accustomed to think of death as only claiming the aged and when one in the youth and prime of manhood is taken it is always a shock to us. The deceased was one of those people whom we could hardly imagine dead. He was the embodiment of life. Always cheerful, whether whistling at his work, singing or playing on the guitar, mandolin or violin he was the life of any company. His parents say he never gave them an unkind word. As he drew near the end he comforted them with the assurance that his soul had found peace with God. He was reared here from boyhood and his friends were many. The funeral was from the Methodist church, Rev. Black, the Presbyterian pastor, preaching the sermon. The Knights of Pythias attended in a body, also large delegations from the Plymouth and Knox lodges, who came to show respect to the memory of their departed brother and assist in the burial rites of the order.

BAD BREATH! Nothing is so unpleasant, nothing so common, as bad breath ; and in nearly every case it comes from the stomach, and can be so easily corrected if you will take Simmons Liver Regulator. Do not neglect so sure a remedy for this repulsive disorder. It will also improve your appetite, complexion and general health. PILES! How many suffer torture day after day, making life a burden and robbing existence of all pleasure, owing to the secret suffering from Piles. Yet relief is ready to the hand of almost any one who will use systematically the remedy that has permanently cured thousands. Simmons Liver Regulator is no drastic, violent purge, but a gentle assistant to nature. CONSTIPATION SHOULD not be regarded as a trifling ailment —in fact, nature demands the utmost regularity of the bowels, and any deviation from this demand paves the way often to serious danger. It is quite as necessary to remove impure accumulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expected where a costive habit of body prevails. SICK HEADACHE! This distressing affliction occurs most frequently. The disturbance of the stomach, arising from the imperfectly digested contents, causes a severe pain in the head, accompanied with disagreeable nausea, and this constitutes what is popularly known as Sick Headache, for the relief of which take Simmons Liver Regulator or Medicinb.
