PRESIDENT HAYES has again put his
foot down on the revolutionists in Con-
gress, and in his message, printed in full
on the first page of to-day's JOURNAL, he
gives good and sufficient reasons for ex
ercising the veto power.

AT NEWARK, a small village in Ver
mont, a few days ago, nine children were
poisoned by drinking water from a brook
stream which had been polluted by the
carcasses of a horse and several sheep being
thrown into it. Seven of them died soon
after drinking the water, their bodies be
coming putrid, and demanding immediate
burial.
THE Ohio Republicans, on Wednesday
of last week, nominated the fallowing
ticket : Governor, Hon. Charles Foster ;
Lieut. Governor, Gen. Andrew Hicken
looper ; Judge of the Supreme Court, Hon.
W. W. Johnson ; Attorney General, Geo.
K. Nash ; Auditor of the State, John T.
Ogleree; State. Treasurer, James Furney ;
Commissioner of Public Works, James
Fullington. The greatest harmony and
good feeling prevailed during the sittings
of the Convention, and the party goes in
to the contest confident of success. Mr.
Foster accepted the nomination in a ring
ing speech of considerable length.
Hort. M. S. QUAY, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, testified before the Riot
Corruption Investigating Committee, one
day last week, stating that no man had au
thority to use his name in connection with
corrupt means alleged to have been used
to secure the passage of the Pittsburgh
Riot claims bill. Mr. Quay thought it due
to his position that all the testimony cart
ing a suspicion on him.should be stricken
from the proceedings, as it was merely
heressy ; but as that portion of the tes
timony bad already been printed, it could
not be done. His hands are clean cf any
complicity in the passage of this bill by
unfair means.
WE sympathize with our old-time friend
and co-laborer in the editorial tread mill,
David Over, esq., of the Hollidaysburg
Register, in his defeat for the nomination
for the office of sheriff of Blair county.
The Republicans of that county did a
wrong thing by refusing to give our old
friend that nomination. He has labored
all his life for the success of the party,
and no man in its ranks was more deserv
ing of recognition ; but it seems that the
Republicans of our daughter Blair are but
following out the example taught them by
old mother Huntingdon, the more deserv
ing a man is, and the harder he labors for
the party, the less likely be is to receive
any favor from it ; the drones come to the
surface and carry off the emoluments. As
a general thing editors are the hardest
worked and poorest paid class of men in
existence. They are expected to do the
dirty work of the party, and very often
are asked to champion the cause of men
for office who are no more qualified for the
position sought than a hog is fit to preach
the Gospel. It is about time that editors
give notice that they have rights which
parties are bound to respect.
REPORT OF THE RIOT COM
MITTEE.
The Riot Bribery Investigating Com
mittee made their report to the House of
Representatives at Harrisburg, on Thurs
day of last week. They find W. F. Rum
berger, of Armstrong county, Emil J. Pet
roff and George F. Smith, both of Phila
delphia, guilty of violation of section 30 of
article 3 of the Constitution, and the first
section of the act of the Legislature passed
April 29, 1874.
They also implicate with them the
following persons who are not members of
the Legislature : W. H. Kemble, Charles
B. Salter, Jesse R. Crawford, A. W.
Leisinring, and Christian Long, and
charge them with being guilty of violating
the same provisions of the Constitution
and laws.
The report is signed by four of the
members. Dr. Gatchell was not in Har
risburg but telegraphed from Lancaster
that he could not be there before Monday
evening. Gatchell's name is therefore
not signed to the report, which was pre
pared by Mr. Wolfe.
Two other members, Mr. Sherwood of
York, and Mr. Clark of Philadelphia,
against whom there was some testimony,
have not been refered to in the report, for
the reason that there was but one witness
against each of them. Against the others
there were two or more.
The House met on Monday evening,
when Mr. Wolfe, of Union, offered a reso
lution expelling Petroff from that body.
After an exciting debate, which lasted
over an hour, the House refused to adopt
the res )lution of expulsion by a vote of
98 to 88. H. A. Lamberson, esq., and
Hon. A. J. Herr, appeared as counsel for
Petroff, while Hon. B. L. Hewitt cham
pioned the cause of the State. Great ex
citement prevailed during the pendency of
the vote.
A CYCLONE'S WORK.
Many Persons Killed and Injured.

A STORM OF UNPRECEDENTED VIOLENCE
-SEVERAL TOWNS RUINED AND THEIR
INHABITANTS OVERWHELMED WITH
(1111 EF-•WOHLE FAMILIES OBLITERATED
-SEVERAL TOWNS WRECKED.
A dispatch of Saturday night from Kan
sas City, Mo., says : During the past forty
eight hours the section of country within
a radius of seventy five miles of Kansas
City has been visited by most furious
storms of wind and rain, similar to the
terrible cyclone at Richmond, Ray county,
in the summer of 1877, when over forty
persons were killed. As the details of the
destruction of property and the loss of
life come in it is evident that the disaster
of to-day is more widespread than that of
two years ago. The cyclone passed over
several flourishing towns, literally wreck
ing them, and leaving traces of its tre
mendous power in leveled habitations, de
stroyed public buildings and uprooted
trees. Marshall county, Kansas. has suf
fered most this time. Its chief town is
Marysville, which is situated on the line
of the St. Joseph and Denver City rail
road. The central branch of the Union
Pacific railroad runs through the county,
having a terminus at Waterville. Along
the line of the road there are many thri
ving towns, the largest of which are Frank
fort, Elizabeth and Irving. The Big
Blue river, a tributary of the Kansas
river, runs through the centre of the
county.
It began to storm on Thursday. At
about six o'clock last evening the rain
suddenly ceased. A large, sullen looking
cloud was noticed just east of the town of
Frankfort, on the line of the central branch
of the Union Pacific railroad, west of
Atchison. The cloud was funnel shaped,
and seemed to increase in size as it moved
along until it reached the town, when it
seized everything in its embrace like some
terrible monster, gathering up houses,
barns, live stock and human beings, twist.
ing huge timbers and trees like reeds, and
leaving death and destruction in its wake.
Four persons were killed at this point.
The cyclone then passed east and struck
the town of Fulton, unroofing sixteen
houses, tearing up immense trees and kill
ing nine more people. Among the build
ings destroyed were the Presbyterian
church, school buildings, postoffice and
two elevators ; also the ninety foot span of
the iron bridge across the blue river, the
iron rods and girders being twisted like
pipe stems. The storm spent its fury in
Larene Lake, its path being nearly half a
mile wide and easily discernible by up
rooted trees and demolished fences.
At about the same hour the town of
Lee's Summit, on the Missouri and Pacific
railroad, thirty miles east of Kansas City,
was also visited, and as in the above case,
the cyclone was noticed fully ten minutes
before it reached the town. The day had
been sultry, and just previous to the ar
rival of the cyclone the air was filled with
electricity. As the dark rolling mass of
clouds approached very close to the earth,
the people left their houses in alarm, but
the element of destruction suddenly turned
to the left, barely touching the town
proper. In the suburbs a number of
houses were levelled. The path made by
the storm was about three hundred yards
wide The cyclone traveled in a direct
line only at a rate of ten miles an hour ;
in the circle it probably exceeded sixty
miles an hour.
FROM THE HUB.—There is perhaps no
tonic offered to the people that possesses as
much real intrinsic value as the Hop Bitters.
Just at this season of the year, when the
stomach needs an appetizer, or the blood
needs purifying, the cheapest and best remedy
is Hop Bitters. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, don't wait until you
are prostrated by a disease that may take
months for you to recover in.—Boston Globe.

The National Complaint.
Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Almost
every other man or woman you meet has it,
and the result is that the number of pseudo
remedies for it is as numerous as Pharaoh's
host. They are for the most part worthless.
There is, however, a searching eradicant et'
this distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to a
foremost place among the staple medicines of
America. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters extir
pates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude than any known remedy, and is a
most genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to
secretion. These are not empty assertions, as
thousands of our country men and women who
have experienced its effects are aware, but are
backed up by irrefragable proofs repeatedly
laid before the public. The Bitters also pro
mote a regular habit of body and give a
healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.

DANDELION AND CROCUS.—The tint of
the first crocus, with its cup of . gold or the
bloom of a dandelion in June, is that imparted
to butter, whether grass made or not, by the
Perfected Butter Color of Wells, Richardson
& Co., Burlington, Vt. It has no effect on the
flavor.

2—Our buildings having been constructed and arranged for the business to which they are entirely
devoted, unites all the conveniences and appliance• which have been found necessary or desirable ,
3—We have an ample cash capital, enabling us to make all purchases fur cash, and giving us a se
lection. at the most favorable prices, from the markets of the entire world. Ice THIS PARTICULAR
WE HAVE ADV4.IkTAGES SHARED BY BUT FEW OTHER HOUSES II THE TRADE. This fact is well
kuown to the public.
4—We sell goods for cash only, which, though it restricts our business to those prepared to purchase
in that way, enab'es us to give them advantages such as no house doing a different business can.
5—A business experience of over a quarter of a century has informed us fully of the wants of the pub
lic, and of the best way to meet them. We have introduced such improvements as have from time
to time been found necessary, nearly all of which were originated by oar predecessors in business
(Messrs. Bennett ,k Co.) and many of them adopted by other houses in our business, so that iong
published accounts of "Systems of Doing Business" need not convey to the public an idea of any
thing new or peculiar, as the whole of such accounts are an almost verbatim description of meth
ods which were mostly originated in this establishment, and have been is use in it for years.
6—We employ the best and most experienced cutters and workmen in making up our goods—the
style, fit, and make of which are unsurpassed.
7—All persons, whatever may be their physical peculiarities (unless deformed,) can be accurately
fitted at once from our stock, in most cases better than by goods made to order, and at prices 25
to 50 per cent. lower.
B—Our business is large and constantly increasing, enabling us to keep the largest, best assorted, and
most complete stock of Men's, Youths', Boys', and Children's Clothing in Philadelphia, to which
large daily additions are made of fresh goods, replacing those sold.
9—For reasons already enumerated, we can and do sell at prices guaranteed in all cases lower than the
lowest elsewhere, or the sale canceled and money refunded.
10—All goods when offered for sale are represented to be exactly what they are.
11—When buyers are for any reason dissatisfied with a purchase made, if reported within a reasona
ble time, we pledge ourselves, by exchange, refunding of money, or otherwise, to give full satis
faction in every case, and request that ail such may be reported to us for adjustment.
12—All prices marked plainly on each garment.
13—To those unable to come to Philadelphia, we will mend samples for any kind of garment with
prices and plain instructions for self-measurement.
