AUSTIN. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 9, 1885.
It costs 75 cent9 to deliver a barrel of
Minneapolis flour iir Liverpool, and 50
cents to deliver a barrel of Minneapolis
flour to the consumer in Minneapolis.
The Waseca Herald suggests Dr. Leon­
ard of the Rochester Post, as a model can­
didate for Congress for the Republicans
of the first district. We don't know but
the suggestion is a good one.
The City Council of Hastings passed a
resolution granting the privilege to a
certain saloon-keeper of that city to sell
intoxicating liquors on the fair grounds.
Mayor Clias. Espenscliied, to his credit
be it saul, vetoed the resolution on the
Rev. Dr. Stephen II. Tyng, the noted
veteran clergyman of the Protestant Epis­
copal church, died last Friday night in
New York—aged 85. He was a forcible
preacher, an active foe of intemperance,
and bitterly opposed to ritualism.
AccobdikgU) the last government cen­
sus in 1880, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Wino­
na, Stillwater, Mankato, Faribault, Red
Wiugand Rochester will be the towns
which will have the privilege of the
delivery system to go into effect Oct. 1st.
These were the only towns in the state
having a population of 4,000 in 1880.
The way of the transgressor is not a
whit less hard than in days of old. Frank
James, a Missourian of remarkable noto
rietv, fiuda himself a wreck after his life
of lawlessness, and he awaits death at a
peaceful spot near Independence. He
warns people against a lot of books held
up as written by the "James boys." who
never yet set pen to paper for any pub­
lisher.
The repudiation of its subsidy promises
to the railroads by the Mexican govern­
ment has knocked the stuffing out of ex
Senator Windom's tobolobampo scheme,
and he is now accredited with a desire to
return to Minnesota and go back to
the Seuate. It is a mistaken kindness
in the friends of Senator Windom to
withhold from him the knowledge of his
senatorial death.—CuledontarArgus.
Jay Cooke agrees with Jim Hill in pre­
dicting for Duluth a great future, and
goes further, even, in prophesying that
in twenty-five years the Zenith City will
have more people than St. Paul and Min­
neapolis combined. Recently the reha­
bilitated millionaire visited Duluth—he
bad not seen the place since 1867—and
made his entry on a tug sent up to Fron
tcnac to meet him. It was after dark
when he reached the dock, and the sight
of the tiers of lights twinkling above him
called forth expression of the prediction
given. It is true that Duluth has a bright
future before it, but our readers must re­
member that Jay Cooke is noted for be­
ing somewhat visionary, and his predic­
tions can not always be relied on. He
has several corner lots for sale.
Suppose Gen. Grant did die of cancer
auperiuduced by smoking, what of it?
The few isolated eases occurring from
the habit, no more constitutes a law,
than that all men will be killed by light­
ning because an occasional man is, uot a
bit.—Nurthjiehl Neics.
There are only a few isolated cases of
death from delerium tremens, but even
the strongest supporter of the rum traf­
fic will tell you that a man who drinks
rum to excess is sure, sooner or later, to
ruin himself iu body and in mind. Grant
was an excessive smoker. He admitted
this himself. Few old smokers could
get away with as many cigars in a day
as he. We think it highly probable that
this smoke-habit lessened Gen. Grant's
days, and if not the direct cause of the
cancer, it hastened the growth of it and
it is a law of nature that as you care for
your body so it will care for you.
Whethek the increase of crime keeps
pace with the growth of population, is
one of the most interesting and vital of
questions. We believe that most candid
men who have lived long in New York
city would agree that they see less evi­
dence of crime, proportionally, now, than
used to come to their notice twenty-five
or thirty years ago. We refer more par
ticularly to cases of drunkenness, disor­
derly conduct, and breaches of the pub­
lic peace such as are thrust upon a man's
attention every dny. The police statis­
tics go to sustain this impression that
crime is less prevalent of late years. The
whole number of persons arrested and
arraigned in police courts during the year
ending October 81,1884, was 74,647, which
was 10,174 less than the number for the
twelve months ending with October 81.
1874—an absolute decrease of 12 percent,
in arrests, although the population had
meanwhile increased 25 per cent. Tbe
statistics of Brooklyn for the same pe­
riod show a like tendency, the arrests for
offences of all sorts in 1884, being but
26,110,against 26,263 in 1874,which means
thut the proportion of arrests to popula­
tion has sunk in the decade from one in
every nineteen people to one in every
twenty-four. In both these cities the po­
lice service is more efficient, and offenders
are more likely to be apprehended now
than teu years ago, so that it seems clear
that the ^smaller proportion of arrests is
really due to a distinct improvement in
morality.—The Nation.
ONE DOLLAlt A BUSHEL.
Rufus Hatch, of N. Y., acknowledged
to be a shrewd observer, prophesies that
we are possibly aud very probably within
a year of actual famine prices for wheat,
and that much higher prices before
harvesting of the next crop are inevita­
ble. Whether Mr. Hatch's extreme views
are sustained or not, no intelligent man
who studies the whole situation care­
fully, can fail to conclude that wheat
must command considerably higher prices
before spring. Our advice to farmers
of the Northwest is that every man of
them who can possibly hold on to his
good hard wheat should do so until it
commands a dollar a bushel at his rail­
road station. Many, of course, will be
compelled to sell at lower prices to raise
ready money but we are confident that
those who can possibly manage to squeeze
along without doing so will not regret
it.—St. Paul Ditpatch.
Hobbles of th« Hyglenlsts.
There were several dozen of the hy
gienists in council, each with his individ­
ual hobby. Each thought all the others
were wrong. Each was sure that his
own hobby was the only correct ©nfc. A
gentleman present said he had taken
Brown's Iron Bitters for debility and
dyspepsia, and, though he didn't want
to make a fuss about it, he knew the use
of thia great tonic to be better than all
the notions be had heard advanced in tbe
council. One practical cure is worth
thousands of guesses, and notions.
Thouaands of happy convalescents speak
gratefully of Brown's jfron fitters.
TO A BUSY MOTHER.
The human brain needs rest and change.
The byman mind needs relaxation. The
huihan heart needs pleasant companion­
ship. Deprive them of these requisites
and the result, in nine cases out of ten,
ill be insanity. Perhaps you imagine
that I mean to frighten you. Why, to
to tell the truth, if I could not. arouse
you to
a sense of your condition unless I
terrified you a little I would rather do so
than see you an inmate of an insane asy­
lum. You see this to be quite in accor­
dance with the rest of nature's laws.
The body cannot subsist on one kind of
diet it must have more or less variety
and behold how plentifully our Creator
has provided for this great need in the
abundant fruitfulness of earth, air and
sea! How soon the palate tires of one
article of diet! How soon the body
starves when fed upon one thing! Dear
friend I beseech you, give this subject
your most careful consideration, for I
perceive you are killing yourself with
the constant strain brought to bear upon
body and mind, and unless you consent
to relax that strain you will suffer very
seriously in consequence.
Your nervous headaches" are sent,
perhaps as warnings, which, if heeded,
may prove your salvation from more seri­
ous trouble. I have found it exceeding­
ly injurious to work during the evening.
You have been busy all day with one
duty or another the night has come you
can find no warrant in scripture for con­
tinuing your labors, but you can for rest­
ing from them. So let the work basket
remain undisturbed, let the needle rest.
You will be all the more skillful with it
on the morrow. Spend the evening,
in reading, conversing, playing interest
ing games with your children or in visit­
ing your friends or, better still, if you
feel able, in attending an interesting lec­
ture or concert then, when you retire, you
will sleep sweetly and awake refreshed
and equal to the performance of tbe day's
duties.
Never eat heartily when "tired to
death." Drink a cup of tea and eat a
cracker or two, or beat up an egg in half
a pint of milk, sweeten and flavor to taste
and driuk it. This will strengthen you,
and will not make any demands upon
your weary stomach or digestive organs.
And another thing: Do not rise early in
the morning and trot all over the house
doing this and seeing to that for hours
before you eat anything. Put on the
coffee, if you use that beverage, or the
tea, if you use that, as soon as possible,
and pour yourself out a cup iust as soon
as it is in a condition for drinking, and
add whatever light, easily digested ai tide
you may like best. This done—and you
must eat slowly, and at your ease—you
will find that you can return to your
work and fairly "make things fly."
You will catch yourself singing, per­
haps, and when your husband and chil­
dren comedown fresh from their pleasant
slumbers, they will meet a smiling face
and sit down to a breakfast presided
over by a cheerful hostess. Force your­
self to try this once or twice and I know
you will be pleased with it. I have the
greatest faith in it, because I proved it
in my own case, and this is true of all
the suggestions I have given in this let­
ter.—Illustrated Christian Weekly.
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL INTER-STATE
INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION
OF CHICAGO.
September 2 to October 17, 188S.
Of all the
Exhibitions of this class which
have been started in the world, only two
have been able to maintain themselves for
any considerab'u term of years without
intermission. The American Institute of
New York is one of the two, and has been
either ^{/'sustaining, or has a sufficient
endowment to establish it as a perma­
nency. The only other, and by far the
most eminently successful, in all respects,
is the one at Chicago. Opening for the
first time September 25, 1873, it has held
twelve annual consecutive Exhibitions of
the very highest class—its field being in­
dustry, science and art. Its unvarying
success is evidenced by the fact that, with
an admisssion fee of only 25 cents, its
treasury has never failed in any one year
to realize from $35,000 to $50,000 net. Its
visitors who paid admission have aver­
aged about 8,U00per day for forty days—
and this attendance, made up as it is of
the most progressive, wide-awake people
on the face of the earth, is ample evidence
of the genuine merit of the Exhibition
itself.
The truth in a nut-shell is, that no in­
telligent person within reach of Chicago,
who desires to keep abreast of the pro
gross of mankind in the mechanic and
fine arts, can afford, for even a single
year, to miss the opportunity for observa­
tion and study which these annual Exhi­
bitions offer. Railroad fares during the
forty days are reduced to the lowest fig­
ures.

of those that cannot swallow they will
flap their wings and crow in your face.
A Startling Discovery.
Physicians are often startled by remark­
able discoveries. The fact that Dr. King's
New Discovery for onsumption and all

duty, and examine into the merits of this
wonderful discovery resulting in hun­

their practice. Trial bottles free at Dorr

A DESIRABLE FM
The S. E. 1 of Section 30, and the
N. E. 1 of Section 31, in Township
102, of Range 17. 320 Acres.
This fine property was formerly owned by,
and is well und favorably known as tlie"WM.
T. MANDEVILLE FAKM."
It is well situated, about six miles south
east of Austin, and lies handsomely, on either
side of ltose Creek, a beautiful, never failing
stream.
There is a heavy growth of young timber
on tbe place, and amain traveled road on tbe
east line of tbe property. A small frame
farm-bouse, shed barn, and granary on the
farm. The soil is excellent, producing tine
crops.
This property is admirably adapted for a
stock farm, as well as for grain raising. The
unfailing and abundant water supply, lino
pasturage land, and a wood tract for shelter
ol' stock, give all the requisites necessary for
that branch of farming, while the cleared and
cultivated portion of the farm yields largely
of all grains, and other farm products.
The growing, thriving city of Austin, but
six miles distant, aifords the best market fa­
cilities for farm products, and the surround­
ings, in tbe way of good farms, well improved,
combine to make the property valuable aud
very desirable.
The property will be sold at the very mode­
rate price of $55,000.
