THIS IS A COMBINATION of
Saline and Vegetable materials and
contains no Mercury or any drastic
vegetable cathartic such as Mandrake
and Aloes and is far superior in its
action as it never debilitates or pro-
duces any unpleasant effects. It will
remove all diseases incidental to a dis-
orde ed state of the liver and is there-
fore ecommended in all Liver Com-
plai ts. It will act thoroughly on the
live tin from two to four hours' time
aud does not produce nausea or griping
pains in the bowels.
Dr. Tobin having suffered for years
with liver disease and after trying
every known remedy without success
has succeeded in preparing this remedy
and by its use alone restoring his
health now offers it to the public for
the cure of all liver troubles and sells
it under a guarantee that after taking
three or four doses of the medicine ana
satisfaction is not given you can have
your money refunded by returning the
bottle and wrapper.
HEPATOZONE has since its Intro-
duction proved one of the most valua-
ble medicines discovered. Its merits
and success has been as gratifying to
the proprietors as its effects have
proved beneficial to those using it; al-
most daily testimonials are received
speaking in the highest terms of its
efficacy in Its action on diseases for
which it is recommended. There is no
doubt of the value of Hepatozone. It
is efficacious mild and thorough in its
action and there is not to-day a medi-
cine which can equal it as a regulator
of the liver find corrector of the bow-
les. As an Indication of its worth we
will state that though every bottle is
guaranteed to give satisfaction yet out
of over 20000 bottles Bold we have had
rtrtlv furst Vw"Tflra rafnmoil fn na Wo
append a few unsolicited testimonials
of Its value:
From Dr. Callahan formerly of this
place: .
LutiNO. Tex.. Nov. 25 1883.
On. J. J. & W.H. Tobln. Austin:
lientiemen i. aesire to give you my
unsolicited testimonial to the virtue of
your great medicine Hepatozone. My
mother who Uvea at Lafayette Ala.
has been a great sufferer from liver
trouble for four years physicians abso-
lutely failing to give her relief. Hav-
ing heard of the cures effected by your
medicine I procured four bottles and
Bent them for her to try urging her to
give them a fair trial and now she
writes me as follows: "Thanks to that
wonderful medicine you sent me my
health is greatly improved; the pain in
my side which the doctors here could
not relieve has entirely disappeared
and I feel like I had a new lease on
life." I have heard from my mother
since the above was written and she
regards the cure as complete. Many of
my friends at this place use Hepato-
zone with great satisfaction and pro-
nounce it one of the very best of liver
medicines. Respectfully
P. H. Callahan

Dr. Tobln:
Your Hepatozone as a gentle purga
tive has no equal It moves the bow-
els without making the patient feel
sick weak or languid. It is often the
case that we feel a little bilious have
some headache perhaps and are feeling
unwe'l generally and only need an
easy purgative to relieve us: your
Hepatozone is the medicine for that
condition. I relieved a case of dysen-
tery with it In a very short time. We
use it largely in this institution.

From the Rev. Dr. Whipple:

Drs. J. J. W. H. Tobln:
Dear Sirs I take pleasure in recom-
mending your great liver medicine
Hepatozone and from experience think
it would be well for no family to be
without it It is so efficient mild and
yet certain to accomplish what la pro-
posed by its use. J. W. Whipple.

Sir I beg to acknowledge receipt of

cludes the possibility of my accept-
ance. The rapid growth ot the Hous-

in the Dast few months has increased
its business to such a considerable ex-

portance of the trust reposed in. and
the magnitude of the task confide d to
the chief commissioner of our great
HtatA to the World's Fair. I feel that
mv acceptance of the position would
be rendering an injustice to your ex-
eilnnev. the state and myself inas
much as mv entire time is and of
right should be occupied with the
matters above stated in consequence
of which I should not be able
to devote my whole energy towards
making the Texas exnimtion at mb
World's Fair worthy in every respect
of the great empire state of the union.
Under the circumstanseB I am though
reluctantly compelled to decline the
honor your excellency has kindly
thought to confer upon me and with

U. S. GRANT FAILS.
The Ex-Prettident and Grant the Younger
Meet With Financial Disaster.
New York May 6. The suspen-
sion of Grant & Ward is announced
on the stock exchange. The firm is
composed of Gen. U. S. Grant Jas. D.
Fish U. S. Grant jr and Ferdinand
Ward. About 600 shares of the C. C.
C. & I. and the Omaha & Ashton and
Terre Haute were closed out under
the rule; also a nickle plate mort-
gage. Kiarnen's Wall street agency fur-
nishes the following : "Rumors of a
defalcation of 500000 accompanied
the suspension of the Marine Bank
in which the Grant firm were involv-
ed. The parties in question said they
had closed relations with the bank.
We haye investigated and get the fol-
lowing statement of the embarrass-
ment of Grant & Ward said on re-
liable authority to be due to the ab-
sence of one of the firm who has
not been at his place of business since
Saturday. Various rumors fare afloat
in financial circles respecting which
Mr. Grant senior member of the firm
says: "I cannot deny or corroborate
the reports current. We are nearly
$500000 short. Our safes are locked
until we can find Mr. Ward. I cannot
say how we stand."
A IS AD BREAK.
A New York Bank Suspends and Grant
Goes Down in the Smash.
New York. May 6. The Marine
national bank has closed. J. D. Fish
is president of the bank. A year ago
the bank purchased Booth's theatre
and now the clearing house is consid-
ering its suspension. It is thought
the failure is a bad one.
New York. May 6. The Capital
Marine bank has failed for four hun
dred thousand dollars. Its statement
September 22d last showed a surplus
of 8130000 with undivided profits of
$62345. John 1. Jb lsh is cashier.
New York May 6. A visit to the
bank discovered some fifty diseonso-
late depositors standing in the pour-
ing rain around the closed doors. No
admittance was given reporters and
no notice was posted on the door.
The bank was open at its usual
time this morning but before
noon closed abruptly without assign-
ing any cause. The stock market was
very active ana tnere seemeu to ue
some connection between the failure
and the condition of affairs at the
stock exchange. The depositors j udg-
ing from their appearance thereabout
the building are a well-to-do class.
An explanation is promised.
jnew lORK Aiayb. ine associated
press reported visited tne clearing
house and endeavoring to obtain in
formation from Manager Camp.
That official would only say the clear-
ing house committee was in session
and nothing could be given the public
until it concluded its examination on
account of the bank. It is said on the
streets the bank's downfall is due to
the real estate transactions of Presi-
dent Fish. Some time ago he bought
Booth's theatre and is now convert
ing it into stores. He is also inter-
ested in other matters. The officials
of the bank were asked whether
Fish's operations had caused the sus-
pension or whether th. bank was do
ing business wun DroKers and so lost
monev. They refused to answer and
believe the failure is due to a little of
both.
LATER.
New York May 6. The failure of
the Marine bank excites much sur
prise. Its fall is due to speculation In
too much real estate. Its liabilities
will probably reach 600000 and Gen.
Grant as well aa his son U. S. Grant
Jr. are deeply involved in the wrecK.
t aiaVf TO AAA U UUFVIJ
Ambrose snow one oi tne nrm oi
Snow & Burgess is vice-president of
the Murine DanK out leit tne omces
of the firm immediately after the an-
nouncement; therefore no statement
can be obtained from him.
Among the banki opinions vary
greatly as to the probable influence
the Marine bank's suspension will
have upon the situation but the ma-
jority are inclined to the belief that it
will not do mucn damage.
The fact that the DanK nad paid a
balance of $555000 at the clearing
house this morning tended to allay
the fears of a great many and it is
conjectured the suspension is only
temporary.
George K. iteid. connected witn
Ludlow & Co. real estate dealers
said: "The troubles of tne bank are
not due to any unfortunate specula
tions in real estate by Fish for he is a
shrewd speculator and buys nothing
but valuable property.
C. H. Mallory & Co.. snipping mer
chants are .among the heaviest de
positors in the bank.
One of the firm stated they would
not be embarrassed much by the sus
pension and there was not much like
lihood any iaiiures wouia iouow
Mallory & Co. had very
little money in ' the bank
and other shippers are in the same po-
sition. The bank examiner is in
charge of the suspended bank. Prob
ably the Washington outnonties win
appoint a receiver at on-c. The Ma
rine bank was designated the deposi-
tory bank of the city of New Yorkand
yesteraayitne city arew a arait ior
$300000 which was part of the debit
balance in the clearing house this
morning and this did much to pre
cipitate the failure.
Tne .Executive committee oi tne as
sociated banks held a meeting this af
ternoon at the clearing house and re-
mined in session several nours. At
the close of the session It was an
nounced that It had been decided to
drop the marine banx from the associ-
ation and cut it off from all further
privileges of the clearing house.

Information called for by resolu-

committee on public lands to inquire
in what manner large quantities of
public lands become transferred to or
possessed by foreign corporations or
syndicates and what if any legisla-

transfer or possession. The secretary

states there are several methods by
which foreign corporations and syn

A Colorado Protest
Denver Col May 6. A strong

Will asrainst a portion of the new

all the wool of that character grown
in the United States is raised in that
a nmm
section of which Colorado is the cen-
ter and the result of the free adui.s
sion of this class of wools would b
the impoverishment of thousands of
Mexican sheep owners and the exter
mination of their flocks. The action
of representative Converse is regarded
as in the selfish interests of the Ohio
growers.and cannot but turn from his
support the powerful interest of this
section.

The Canadian Explosion.
Chicago May 1. The representa-
tive of the Associated Press this morn-
ing had an interview with the presi-
dent of the Aetna powder
works whose brand was on
t le fonr dynamite cartridges found
in the government building at Tor-
onto. He exhibited a f ac simile of
the cartridges discovered which are
of the size ordinarily used in blasting
and for blowing out tree stumps.
They are merchantable in
every state in the union as
also in the dominion and can be
found in nearly every hardwaie store.
They require a cap or battery for explo-
sion and would not ha ve created the
damage they might have been sup-
posed to even had they exploded. An
official stated that the fact of the
name of the company being on the
cartridges was sufficient probability
to indicate that official. The company
were not aware of any plot against
the dominion government. P. S.
The dominion government itself now
strongly suspects that the "plot" was
nothing more than a practical joke.

stating that at the time he had the pis-
tol he was trying to dispose of it by

should be referred to the mayor.
Alderman Hill favored reference to

the petitioner to present his case to
the mayor.

ant had his right of petition anyway
