A QUESTION 0? OFFICE. & Be view of the Entanglements Resulting from Church's Appointments. Possible Conflict of Authority Bet we an the two Asylum Boards. Change in Time Humored—Prepar ing for the Sunday School Convention. Who Are our Public Ottleials? There is tlie most flattering kind of a prospect for a big rumpus over the in cumbency of the public offices of the ter ritory. The foilowing is a brief state ment of the entanglement: The council failed to confirm the gov ernor's appointments. Then immediately after the adjournment of the legislature, the governor issued a general order re moving certain territorial officers and the trustees and directors of certain public institutions and appointed to fill the va. cancies thus created, in the main, the me]nwhose nominations he had sent to the council. Dear Sir- -Inclosed please find your commission. Secretary McCormack de clined to sign commissions as secretary of the territory. It is not necessary for him to sign the same, and his refusal in no way affects the legality of your ap pointment. Take the usual oath of office before a notary public and mail the same to the secretary of the territory. I have sMtdo^aLformal orde^xexnoving the boards existing prior to March 9, so as to leave no question as to your appointment. I have filed a record of your appointment with the secretary. Respectfully, At this stage a dispute arose as to worth $1.75. The dimes of 1821 with the whether by so doing the governor had evaded the tenure of office act which pro vides that the term of any appointive officer shall expire within ten days after thfe expiration of the term of the gover nor appointing him. It so happened that subsequent to the approval of this tenure act, the legislature passed several bills which so modified certain existing official positions that the governor holds that therefore they are not affected by it, and that his appointees cannot be re moved in ten day6 by the new governor. Whether this position is correct or not it was enough to complicate matters, and people thought it was a pretty muddle. But now, along comes Secretary Mc Cormack, and he ties another knot in the already tangled skein. He refused to sign Church's commissions to these new appointees on the ground that they had been rejected by the council and could not be appointed. Church, however, was not at all dismayed by this refusal, but sent the commissions to the men ap pointed, accompanying each with the following letter: Louis K. CHTJBCH, Governor. At the same a curt note was sent to the secretary informing him that a3 he had refused to sign the commissions of the governor's appointees he (the gov ernor) had appointed them and sent them their commissions without the secretary's autograph. Church holds the duties of the secretary are merely clerical and that his signature is not necessary to the validity of the commis sion. If the old officers show fight—and many of them are already exhibiting such a disposition—serious trouble may grew out of the entanglement. The standing of the two asylum boards here is not exactly plain. As stated above Secre tary McCormack has not signed the commissioas of the new members and some of the members of the old board hold—and claim to have received legal advice in support of their claim—that they are not leerallv appointed. Mr. Fridley, who is a member of both he old and new board, has called a meeting of the new board for tomorrow. It has been ruinated that the old board will re fuse to give way and that secretary Jones will refuse to turn over the books of the institution until the question is set tled beyond controversy but no confima tion of either rumor has been received. Preeident Lyon says that as far as he is concerned there will be no trouble be tween the two boards and seems to be of the opinion that none will result. It is to be hoped that no conflict of au thority will arise to give Jamestown any more unenviable notoriety. NUMISMATICS. The Scienoe of Coiu and Metlaltt— An Interesting Collection by a Jamestowa CtttlBe*. A pareuit which has greatly developed of late years and which shows no signs of falling off at present, is that of the collection of rare and canons coins. It might be supposed that the demand would be principally far coins of great antiquity, but tnis is not the case. The ehief inquiry is for sets of American co in», and some numbers are so rare as to readily command -fancy prices. In certain yeses some descriptions of coins were not minted at all, while in ether cases few copies were issued. Other cojjps are valued because of some error or eccentricity in the die in fact, any vari-1 ation from the ordinary types, if in good condition, will bring more than its face value. Of the silver dollars, nearly all the earlier issues are in demand at a slight premium, and that of 1794, in which the goddess of liberty is depisted with flowing hair, is worth 520. As for the dollar of 1704, of whieh few are known, any copy i» tf»od condition will bring $300- The flying *agle of 1838 1889, the coins of 1851.1852 and l-'iZg -WTi to*' with the liberty loving lady seated, are worth at least (15 each. Mr. Chenery, the genial gunsmith of Jamestown, has a fine collection, includ ing some rare and valuable coins. He has a specimen of the silver dollar of 1848 with no motto, and with the God dess of Liberty seated, which is worth §250. The dollar of 1871 also has the sitting goddess but with the motto "In God we Trust*', and is not so valuable. Trade dollars of which he has several, is sued from 1879 to 1883, with the inscrip tion 420 grains. 900 fine, are now get ting scarce and command a premium of 10 cents. Of half dollars, those of 1796 and 1797, with fifteen or sixteen stars bring $15 eaoh. Others of value are dat«d 1794,1801 aud 1802, and there are many more, such as 1836 with a liberty cap, 1838 with an "O" mark ur.der tbe head, and a coin of 1853 with liberty seated, which are worth from $52 to $5 each. A number of patterns of silver quarters have been issued at difierent times, the most valuable are those of 1823 and 1827, with the head to the left, eaoh valued at §15, while the 1796 fillet head is to be had for $2 and that of 1804 for $1. Other specimens whicti Mr. Chenery has, are the quarter of 1837 with a bust of Liber ty and the inscription 25c, and that of 1876, the centennial year, which has the sitting goddess and is stamped ,l4 dol. Another coin which he has which is now much sought after, is the twenty cent piece of 1875. Those of 1877 are bust of Liberty and an eagle, are getting very scarce, while half dimes in silver bring from 50 cents to $2 each, and a special brand of the vintage of 1802 will command $25. There were two brands of nickels is sued in 1883, and Mr Chenery has speci mens of both. Oue is stamped 5 cents with a shield, and the other has merely with no cents. COPPEB WORTH MOKE THAH GOLD. There is a geat demand for old eoppe1 cents, the first ambition of every col lector being to start even with the pro cession in 1793 or so, and bring it down to date with a coin for each year. It will cost him from $1 to $3 for the vari ous kinds issued in 1793, $3 for 1799, ana $2.50 for 1804. Mr. Chenery has a speci men of the flying eagle cent of 1858 the issue of 1856 is now worth $4. In foreign coins Mr. Chenery has tbe British half sovereign, the florin,equal to our half dollar, one of the prettiest of English coins. He has several specimens of shillings, among them being two is sued in the reign of George the Third in 1817 and 1819, one of William the Fourth in 1837, the year that Queen Victoria came to the throne, and others of later date. He also has a specimen of the fa mous lion shilling which is now becom ing rare and valuable, and of the jubilee sixpence, coined to commemorate tne completion of fifty years of the queen's reign. One of his coins which appears to have seen hard service, is a Spanish real of 1871, and he has several Mexican coins, among them a quarter with the cap of liberty, and a nickel with a sheaf of ar rows. It will repay any one to drop in to Mr. Chenery's store and look over his collection. VIVID WRITING. A little descriptive piece entitled "Over the Guns," from the Detroit Pree Press from which we give a paragraph, re-' minds us that great advertisers, like H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of Warner's celebrated Safe Cure, might get a hint from it. Here is the paragraph: "Shoot to the right or left, over the guns or under them. Strike where you will, hut strike to destroy. Now the hell surges down, even to the windows of the old farm house—now back under the ap ple trees and beyond them. Dead men are under the ponderous wheels of the guns, mad devils are slashing and shoot ing across the barrels. No one seems to know friend from foe. Shoot, slash, kill and— "But the hell is dissolved. The smoke is lifting, shrieks and screams grow fainter, and twenty or thirty living men pull the dead bodies away from the guns. Three hundred dead and wounded on the single acre. They tell of war and glory. Look over this bell's acre and find the latter." And in just as deadly a strife, though noiseless, are men falling at our right and left today. Is it war? Yes, war of the blood. Blood loaded with poi son through imperfect kidney action. And is there no power to stop this awful slaughter? Yes, Warner's Safe Cure, a tried specific, a panacea that has brought life and hope to hundreds of thousands of dying men and women. Be enlisted therefore, in the great army of living men and women who havo been rescued from disease and pre mature death, and be eternally grate ful that the means of life can so easily be yeura ______ Arranging for a Sunday School Convention. Bev. W. Ewing has just returned from a meeting of the executive committee of the Dakota Sunday School Associa tion, and reports much interest in the coming Convention to be held at James town next June. As the association will be divided at that time it is proposed to make the last meeting a memorable one. It is expected a special train will be run from Yankton, and arrangements are be ing made for some notable speakers and singers. Change in Time Proposed. Another change in the N. P. time card has been contemplated for some time and, it is said, will take effect Sunday. I No. 5, which reaches here at midnight and runs to Bismarck, will be taken off and the old train that came through here abeut noon and ran to Helens, will be put on again. Ne. 5 was only put on fer the accommodation of the travel to Bis marck during the legislature, and now that that bedy is afthiog of the past, the necessity fer .the train is dene away with. IS ECHOES OF COMING BOOM. Exchange Notes Indicate Its Near Approach. The wayfaring man though a fool can read the signs of the times in Dakota. A new wave of prosperity is certainly ap proaching. Some of the towns of the territory are already feeling its effects. Bead the following straws clipped from a day's exchanges, and notice which way the wind is blowing: Argus: The Bismarck chamber of com merce is sending out ten thousand pam phlets which boom the town with all the vigor of a rustling hired man. Bedfield has incorporated a company with $500,000 capital, for the purpose of securing South Dakota's capital and making the stockholders rich. Yankton Dakotaian: St. Lawrenoereal estate men are kept busy making real es tate transfers. J. E. Dolen paid $1,000 for a business lot. Several farms have been sold from $1,450 to $1,650 per quar ter. Over twenty residence lots have changed hands in the past two days at good prices. The sale of Pierre real estate and pro perty to outside investors since the 4th inst., has amounted to over $600,000, and the city is thronged with speculators. The boom that has suddenly struck Pierre exceeds the expectations of every body. Over $100,000 worth of property changed hands Saturday. Grafton Herald: The increased move ment in real estate was proven by several sales of farm lands yesterday. Among the sales reported is one by J. L. Casbel. He had 120 acres out near St. Andrews, which he offered for $750 two years, without finding a buyer, and haying faith in tbe country he did not make extra ef forts to sell it. On Tuesday he found a purchaser who readily paid $1,200 for the farm, which is unimproved. When Da kota dirt is sold at its normal value pretty fair prices obtain. THE RAILROAD LAW. A Curious Provision About Free Transportation for the Commission ers. The Farmers' alliance railroad bill af ter a chequered career, finally became a law. The following are tbe main pro visions of the bill: The governor shall appoint three com missioners, one from North Dakota, one from Central Dakota and one from South Dakota. No person shall be qualified who owns bonds or stock in any railroad, or who is in any manner pecuniarily in terested in any railroad, public ware house or elevator. They shall have gen eral supervision of freight and passenger traffic on said roads, and shall inquire into any neglect or violation of the laws of the territory by any railroad company, its officers, agents or employees, examine and inspect the condition of the roads, etc. The commissioners and their secre tary shall have free transportation on railroads. It provides for an open market and equal facilities for shipping requires side track and other facilities to connect with tracks from mills or elevators. When un able to supply all.demands, it provides for a pro rata distribution. The provis ions of the inter-state commeroelaw as to long and short haul rates is embodied in the bill. It requires reasonable charges for transportation of property, for haul ing or storage of freight, or for use of cars, etc. prevents pooling requires proper facilities for handling freight, and for the accommodation of passengers at intersecting points, interchange of oars, etc., but no buildings shall be required it there be no village having 100 inhabi tants and a postoffice within one mile of the crossing. Consignees are entitled to have twenty-four hours free of expense for unloading cars. The bill requires schedules showing classification, rates, fares and charges for the transportation of passengers and property of all kinds and classes and joint schdules of fares, etc. prohibits changes in classification in the rates,fares or charges except on proper notice. It is the duty of any railroad commissioner to ascertain whether provisions of the law are violated and to visit each line of road as often as practicable. Any per son, corporation or municipal corporation may make complaint. Suit can not be dismissed except on consent of the attorney general or com missioners. The attorney general shall be ex-officio attorney for said commission. He may call upon any district attorney to assist. Severe penalties are provided for a violation of the law and ample pro vision is made for enforcing it. Statisti cal reports are required as to every branch of business, as to lands, etc. The Asylum Trusteeship. The air has been thick during the day with wars and rumors of wars between the old and new asylum board. The sit uation is peculiar. There appears to be no provision in the by-laws regulating the method to be followed when a change is made in the board of trustees. It wonld appear to be natural that the old beard should meet and take some defi nite action on the matter, either by turn ing over the boohs and records to the new board, or by refusing to do so. The majority of the old board appear willing to resign their places without causing their successors any trouble, but the sec retary, being more conscientious than the rest, has got the idea into his head that it is his duty to pass upon the quali fications of the new trustees, and not to give up the books until he is so satisfied. His positionin the matter is not quite clear but may be stated briefly as follows: His commission as trustee expired with the final adjournment of the legislature, but by law he holds over until his successor is appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed. He claims that he is not yet fully satisfied of the validity of the quali fications of the new board, as he thinks that tbe governor did wrong in appoint ing men whose nominations bad not bees acted on by tbe council. He also thinks that the signature of Secretary McCor mack is necessary to the validity of their commissions. An interesting point of law ha« devel oped in connection with the tenure of office act, which appears to conflict with the organic act. It will be renembsred that nader the tenure not, all the terms •f all territorial oflsers are saade to ter minate ten days after the expiration of the term of the governor appointing them. It is said that this is in conflict with section 62 of the organic act which gives power to the governor to issue com missions in cases where vacancies occur in these offices "which Bhall expire at the end of the next session of the legislative council." As the legislature cannot mod ify or abolish any power conferred bv the organic act, it is claimed that they have no right to curtail the appointing power of the governor by limiting the period of his commissions to ten days after his re llioval. All the members of the new board are in the city, and this afternoon are hold ing a meeting at the asylum. The board is expected to organize today. The New Trustees. The following short biographies of the members of the new board of trustees of the asylum will be of interest at this time: The chairman of the board, W. A. Fridley. was born in Ashville,Ohio, about thirty year3 ago, and came to Dakota in April, 1883. lie was the county treasu rer of Kidder county for four years, and is now mayor of Steele. He is the only member of the old board, having been appointed a year ago to fill the place of Mr. Menzesheimer. Ho was a member of tho democratic convention at Watertowu, aud was nominated at Bismarck last fall for member of the leg islature. C. E. Blackwell was born inWaukesha, Wisconsin, and came to Dakota six years ago, going into the lumber business »t Valley City. He came to Jamestown three years ago, and is the manager of the Gull River Lumber company. He is a republican, but has never taken a very active part in politics, this being the first time he has ever held office in Da kota. Heber McHugh was born in Hunting don, Pennsylvania, and graduated at the sthte normal school. He first came to Dakota in July, 1883, locatiing in Jamas town in partnership with S. L. Glaspeil. He was deputy clerk of district court and United States commissioner. In 1884 he removed to Foster county, and was elect ed district attorney four years ago,which office he still holda He was a delegate to the democratic convention at Water town last year. N. K. Hubbard is too well known in Dakota to require much description. He was one of the first settlers in the Red River valley, having taken a claim just north of Fargo eighteen years ago, and has been prominently identified with the development of the territory ever sin-e. He was a delegate to the republi can convention at Chicago which nomi nated President Harrison. He has been for several years a director of the First National bank in Fargo. F. S. Corwin of Steele, was born in Pecatonica, Illinois, where he engaged in the livery business. He came to Dakota in the spring of 1883, and took up land near Steele. He was in the hotel busi ness for some time, and in 1885 became proprietor of the Steele Ozone, the offi cial paper, and has been mayor of Steele. He is a major on the governor's staff,and was a delegate to the democratic conven tion at Watertown. Prof. Blake on March Weather. Prof. Blake, the well known Kaasas weather prophet, hazards some predic tions for NorthDakota weather for March He says: In North Dakota, the weather for March 1889, will not be as wet as it us ually is, though there will be consider able stormy weather with numeious snow storms and some rain but the to tal amount for tbe month will be less than the average of many years for that month. We calculate that if all the rain and snow reduced to water which falls in March 1889, in all parts of the north half •f Dakota, were evenly spread over the whole of that half of the state, it would make a layer of water one and three fourths inches deep. But wa do not wish to be understood as saying that that amount of precipitation will obtain in each township or in each coqnty. The average will be about 1.75 inches, though some counties will have more and some less. The temperature for the first part of March, in the north half of Dakota will be rather mild, then it will be stormy and grow colder. Probably the coldest part of the month will be about the 25th,after which it will moderate a little at the end of the month. It will be very oold part of the time. The greatest precipitation will be during the first half and greatest cold during the last half of the month. We do not think the temperature and general weather in March will be such that any farming can be done in North Dakota. He advises farmers to get their seed in the ground as soon as possible after the middle of April, aad to plant their corn as soon as possible after May 10th. If the professor is as good a guesser ag ricultural as in meteorological matters,his suggestions should carry some weight. The Warmest oaoKecord. The mean temperature for the first nine days of March, as compared with the daily normals for twelve years, shows an excess of 89 degrees. Since the first of January the amount of heat has been 209 degrees in excess of the daily aver age for twelve years. The precipitation for the first nine days of March showB a deficiency of thirty-seven hundreths of an inoh as compared with the daily aver age for thirteen years. Sinoe the first day of January the deficiency is fifty nine hundreths of an inch, as compared with the average of thirteen years. The Brompton Hospital for consump tives, London, England, published a statement that 52 per cent of thepatieata in that institution had unsuspected kid ney disease. Every drop of blood in tha stem passes thousands of times through lungs in each 24 hours. The same blood passes through the kidneys for purification. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition or able to expel the poisonous or waste matter, the acids re turn to the delicate tissues of the lunge and produce irritation, which results in tho symptoms of what is known as con sumption. This explains why 52 per cent of tho consumptive patients havo unsus pected kidney disorder. Warner's Safe Cure puts the kidneys in a healthy oon ditioa, taking the acids from the blood which vitiate tho lungs and same oos samptioa. syi thi -IMP»£ t. DIVERSIFIED FARMING. Raising Wheat in Dakota Pays Well, but Raising Stock Pays Better,with Less Risk. While it appears probable that a large ly increased acreage will be sown to wheat this year, it» a good sign that many farmers are talking of going in for raising more stock. Stutsman county is already well known for the quality of the stock raised here, and oompares well with many older counties in the number of head. There were in this county last year 2040 horses, 309 mules, 4481 cattle, aud 1447 sheep. Many of our most wide-a-wake and progressive farmers believe that James 'town is destined to be the center of a great stock raising and dairy region. Horses, cattle and sheep develop won derfully here and are very' healthy, epi demic diseases boing unknown. Feed is cheap and can be raised at small cost. Our winters are especially adapted to stock raising, as the fine dry weather allows stock to be turned out to graze an average of five days out of the seven, which enables their being wintered at a small cost for bay, besides giving them needed exercise. Both our grass and hay are more nu tritious than in the east, stock keeping fat and doing well without other feed during the winter, if well sheltered. Little Children, Love One Another. It would appear that the gentle spirit of peace has fled from the bosom of the governor's family at Bismarck. The ter ritorial officials whose sands of life are nearly run, instead nf preparing for their approaching end in a fitting spirit of hu miliation, and endeavoring to depart at peace with all men, are still antagonizing one another in a style which would make glad the soul of Denny Hannafin. Audi tor Ward furnishes the following for publication in the Tribune: The territorial officials previously in terviewed have expressed great satisfac tion in being relieved from office. I am wholly dissatisfied and unhappy, not for myself, but on account of the ungrateful treatment of McCormack. The Gov, Pierce and McCormack trade made last fall should have allowed McCormack to be governor, if only for a week. This has been the dearest wish of McCormack's heart for it he has aided and assisted the republican legislature during the winter by making war on the democratic gov ernor for it he has acted as informer and spy on all other territorial officials, and to crown all has attempted to delay the appointments until the republican gov ernor could be appointed. And then to be summarily kicked out is .ungrateful and unfair. The workman is worthy of his hire. If Governor Pierce could not deliver the goods he should not have made the promises. Upon the arrival of Governor Mellette I will endeavor to have the matter recti fied and McCormack appointed veterin ary surgeon. If this cannot be brought about 1 hereby respectfully refer the matter to the democrats of North Dako ta, who will no doubt in due time fitting ly reward such unselfish devotion to the principles of democracy. A Call to Fumigate. EDITOK ALERT: Will you allow me space in your paper to suggest the pro priety of universal fumigation through out our city. Scarlet fever is epidemic, and it is absolutely necessary that ener getic and scientific efforts should be put forth at once to destroy the fever germ. It is said that this germ is most per sistent, and may be carried about in clothing for weeks. Now, as our public schools, and churches, are permitted to continue their services, there can be no safety to our citizens without frequent fumigation. No on* knows who is carrying the con tagion. The most innocent, apparently may be the most guilty. It is therefore obvious that to insure immunity from the ravages of this most dreadful disease the surest and best plan is to fumigate everywhere—in offices, in schools, and churehes and stores, as well as in every home. Let those who have fumigated fumigate again, and let those who have never fumigated do it at once. Then let all repeat it again and again, aad it may be that we shall thus destroy the lurking enemy of our beloved children. The method of fumigation is very sim ple—an old shovel, or stove lid, heated to redness, should be placed on a stone, or on a cold piece of iron, then sprinkled with brimstone and allowed to burn. All silver should be previously.* removed. The doors of the rooms fumigated should be closed and not opened for several hours. It may not bo deemed necessary to add that persons must not remain in the rooms which are being thus treated, yet while there are so maay people in the world who "didn't know it was loaded" it would be charitable to inform them that the sulphurous fumes not only kill germs and bugs, but they will also certainly hill men, women and children. I would urge this suggestion upon our eitizens as the most probable preventative of any further spread of the contagion. Dont wait for an order from the board of health. Act at once, now. Yours very respectfully, J. DAVISON. Grafton, D. T., March 14. A Oil W Grand Lodge. S. L. Glaspeil and D. E. Hughes re turned last night from Huron, where they have been attending the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Dakota A. O. U. W. They' report a pleasant time and an attendance of about 100 del egates Mr. Glaspeil was made a member of the executive committee whose duty it is to take such measures as may be •eoessary to establish new lodges and in crease the membership to 2,000, which number is -necessary before the two Da kota's can form a separate jurisdiction. At present the territory is attached to Minnesota. Mr. Glaspall and Mr. Hugbes wore the delegates from the lo oal lodge. A mooting of tho Jamestown Farmers' alliasoe was held this afternoon. LOST IN THE One of our looal editors clipped from a leading magazine, extracts from a vivid description of a western blizzard which we have taken the liberty to publish aad at the same time suggest to H. H. War ner & Co., the proprietors of the cele brated Warner's Safe Cure, the feasi bility of taking therefrom an extract for the introduction of one of their telling advertisements. The following is the description: "At the close of a dark day in January a solitary horseman wends his way aoross the open prairie in one of our western territories. He passes at long intervals the lone cabin of the hardy frontiersman. Two or three old settlers, of whom he has inquired the way, have warned him that a storm is approaching, and one of them,with true western hospitality,urges him to find shelter in his cab'm for the night. But he declines the proffered kindness and urges his tired horse for ward. The sky grows suddenly dark. He decides to seek shel ter. The storm increases in its fury. The rider dismounts to warm his fast chilling limbs. Can scarcely breathe. Blindness comes on. Drowsiness steals over him. The end is near. He is lost in the bliz zard." There is no doubt that the terror which siezes the bewildered traveler is similar to that which overcomes one when he learns that he is suffering from an ad vanced Kidney Disease, and is informed that he is in the last stages of Bright's disease. At first he is informed that he has a slight kidney affection. Later he begins to feel tired. Slight headache. Fickle appetite. Failure of the eye-sight. Cramp in the calf of the legs. Wakeful ness. Distressing nervousness. Rheu matic and neuralgic pains. Occasionally pain in the back. Scanty, dark colored fluids, with scalding sensation. Gradual failure of strength. Aay of the above symptoms signify Kidney Affection, but he is told that he is all right. His physician treats him for symptoms and calls it a disease, when in reality it is but a symptom of Kidney trouble. He may be treated for Rheu matic or Neuralgic pains, heart affection, or any other disease whicn he is most susceptible to. Finally the patient has puffing under the eyes, slight bloating of the ankles and legs. His physician may inform him that it is but the accumula tion of blood in his ankles for want of proper exercise. The bloat continues aud readies body. Disease, aud his Then he is informed he has dropsical troubles, and is tapped once or twice. He notices it is difficult to breathe owing to irregular action of the heart, and finally is informed that he has a slight attack of Bright's Disease. Soon his friends are notified that he Is an advanced case of Bright's that ho nan live but a short time. His honorable and digni fied physician asks for counsel. It is too late. Still he sticks to the old family phy sician, and the physician knows and has known from the beginning that the pa tient has been stricken with death for months, for he knows full well that the profession acknowledge they have no remedies for the cure of Kidney Disease. At last the patient suffocates—is smot ered—and dies from dropsical trouble. Or perhaps the disease may notjtake the form of a dropsical tendency, and^the pa tient dies from apoplexy, paralysis, pneu monia or heart trouble. Or it may take the fotm of blood poisoning. In eaoh form the end is the same. And yet he and his friends were warned by the pro prietors of the celebrated remedy known as Warner's Safe Cure, of the lurking dangers of a slight Kidney affection. The newspapers have published tho dangers. Columns of facts have been printed of men dying from advanced Kidney Disease or Bcjght's Disease. His friends and physician look around with horror and regret for seeming neglect,but he is lost. He did not heed the warning that, a storm was approaching. He de clined the proffered hospitality, and reck lessly went forward into danger. He struggled manfully for a time, but his strength failed, he grew gradually weak er and he was lost to the world. Not ia a blizzard, but from the terrible malady which is almost daily occurring in every community, and which is doctored as a symptom instead of what it is—a mortal disease unless properly treated. A Sad Bereavement. A large circle of friends and acquaint ances were deeply grieved this morning to hear of the death of Mrs. C. Buckley which took place at ten o'clock. Her death was very sudden,as she was only ta ken siek last Monday morning. Her dis ease seemed to be pleurisy, combined with inflammation of the lungs and liver. She suffered great pain until about four o'clock this morning, when her pain seemed to leave her,and mortification set in shortly before death. At tho last, her end was very peaceful and happy she appeared to be content to leave her chil dren for a while, in the sure hope of meeting them again in a better world. Mrs. Buckley was 60 yean of age aad leaves her husband and five sons and four daughters to mourn her loss. All her children were present when she died except one daughter who lives in Jack son, Mich. She was bora in Ireland, in tbe county of CorK, and first came to America in 1851,living in Braintree,MasB. Her next residence was in Jackson,Mich, where she lived twenty-five years. She came to Jamestown six years ago Since coming to this country she has always enjoyed the best of health, and the shock of Her sudden death was there fore all tbe more violent to he? sorrow ing family. The best medical assistance was procured, Dr. Vidal having been summoned yesterday from Valley City, but the sands of life had run their course and the most tender care and nursing were without avail. Her husband feels his lots very deeply, and is almost pros trated by the shock. Trustee McHugh went north this meraing. 1 A sir
