What’s a Miracle
to nome people Is really only the result of the
use of knowledge and common-sense. Many
persona suffering from
RHEUMATISM and NEURALGIA
hesitate about taking a remedy fearing it
will not help them, and they doubt whether
It really did do aa much for others as is claimed.
This is not the way Mr. O. B. Bruner of
Urbans, Ohio, did. He writes:
•• ATKLOVHoaoa Is the beat I ever tried. I
waa down In bed ao bad that I had to be turned
on a sheet, and so I got a bottle of Athuopho
bo* and began taking it at 9 o’clock, and I was
suffering everything a man could suffer. I
took four doaes of it, and I got out of bed my
self and ate my supper, and the next morning
I walked out to breakfast without canes.
IT IN WORTH ITS WEIGHILIN GOLD.”
fITHLO
n PHOROS
Is not a miraculous thing, but it is the only
sure cure for Rheumatism and Nsuralgla,
and It will cure
YOU
just as easily and certainly, as It has thousands
of others.
If you cannot get Atrloproros of your drug
gist, we will send It express paid, on receipt of
regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer
that you buy It from your druggist, but if he
hasn't It, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from us, as directed

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms of the New Jersey Senate, aud now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. J., makes the following startling
.statement: “My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak I raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship
smithing) was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and I was rapidlv going*
to the grave. While in this condition I
commenced using Mulder's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved so much, 1 stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that I have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler’s Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and I will make affidavit to it, for I
owe my life to Mishler’s Herb Bitters.’*
~ The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar
rhoea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler’s Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in it* composition; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara
tion; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points In favor
of MishlePs Herb Bitters. Alishler’s Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price f 1.00
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $5.00.
Aak roar druggist far Mishlek’s Rjcbb Bitters.
If he does not keep it, do not tske anything else, but
send s postal card to Mishi.xb Herb Bitters Go..

MEDICAL
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
The committee on resolutions reported the
following:
**» IXATfOBM.
L The laenee growing out of the war for
the Union can never be settled until they are
Bottled right. By usurping and absorbing the
rights of the dlsiraiu-hlsea colored men, the
white men of the southern states are exerting
double the power ef the white men in the nor
thern states. The rebel soldier In the south
Is thus enabled to wield twice the lniluence in
the nation that the Union soldier la the north
san wield. We protest against the Union
soldier having one vote and the rebel soldier
having two.
9. The menace of this crime against the
ballot in the south is also a menace to free
labor in the north. With the black man
robbed of the elective franchise, their power
to protect themselves is gone and the south
ern white man can degrade them at will, Into
a form at cheap labor. Labor in the south
cannot be pauperised without the wages of la
bor in the north being necessarily affected.
It is already driving the southern blacks to
the north to find both liberty and employ
ment, and lowa has received thousands of
such men, who here have sought and found
a chance to live aa free men, and to work at
good wages. The republican party declares
in the Interest of honest and safe govern
ment, that there can not be a political ine
quality maintained among the citizens ef a
free republic and that there can not be a
minority of white men in the south ruling a
majority of white men in the sooth.
8. The adhesion of ths democratic party to the
doctrine of state rights, is evidenced by the
character of the diplomatic appointments
made by President Cleveland; and we cen
aure his selection of persona to represent this
government at the foreign countries who deny
the indissoluble unity of this nation, and
who, during the rebellion, either fought for
its success or justified the principle on which
It was based, and still continue so to do, and
we declare that bis conduct in this regard is
made all the more offensive by his persistent
removal of disabled union soldiers from gov
ernment employment by mean-* of the fraud
ulent and disreputable device of the “offen
sive partisan” scheme formulated by his post
master general and practiced by the other
beads at departments and by the president
himself.
4. Time does net bar the claims of the sol'
filers who fought down the rebellion, or the
gratitude and justic of the country, and there
fore we demand auch modification
of the pension laws aa shall secure equal
treatment to all such soldiers entitled to
pensions under said laws, by commencing
payment from time of disability; ths increase
of 'widows’ pensions from eight to twelve dol
lars t>sr month; aud the granting of a pension
to all auch soldiers as ars disabled from secur
ing support by their own labor; and to those
who served in the war with Mexico. We con
dema the removal by President Cleveland of
the medical pension en a miners appointed by
Llnc< 'ln, Grant and Garfield, who have been
the steady friends of the union soldiers, and
their replacement by men who generally
opposed the passage of the pension laws.
o. Ths American laborer is the unitr, the
prosperity and stability of ths republic The old
World theory of glasses is adhorrent to
ths American mind, no peasant class can ever
be credited la America. The republican party
has protected and fostered the lsbor of this
country. Bo that its compensation is larger
than is realized In any other nation. It has
guarded and aaved it from the degraded com
petition of contract labor from China Is
pledged to protect It from the pauper labor of
* urops We demand that ample provisions
shell os asade by law for the protection of
labor and capital, including the question of
screening coal and others peculiar to the min
ing Interests of the stats In order that the
miners may be assured pay for all work done
by them. And labor should have Its just
proportion of representation on such board
And we further declare that provision should
be mads by law whereby convict labor should
net be brought into competition with ths
other labor within the state.
6. We are opposed to the British poller,
adroc&ted by the democratic party Id this
eoaetry, under the guise of a tariff for reven
ue only. The English theory of free trade,
which has degraded its labor at home, and
been so suroessiullr used, as a means to de
stroy the industries aud oppress the people of
Ireland, cannot he Imposed for Sagluh inter
ests upon the people of the United States.
We invite all the people of Irish blood who
know the wrongs of their native country, its
fate under English rule, to join with ths re
publican party and the great body of Ameri
can workingmen in resist lug the introduction
of the free trade policy in America.
T. We favor closer commercial intercourse
with all nations, and the enlargement and ex
tension of American commerce in all possible
quarters. We especially urge the establish
ment of bettor commercial relations and the
enlargement of our trade with South Ameri
ca. We favor the increase of American
shipping by all practical mesas.
8. The republican party inaugurated civil
service reform, and enacted the civil service
law. It will faithfully maintain it and cheer
fully aid la aav needed amendments to give
it full force. We look with regret upon the
failure of the pres ut administration to pro
mote the reform of the civil service so aua
plceoualy begun under a republican adminis
tration.
9. W« demand that the public domain in
cluding forfeited aua unearned lands within
the limits of grants made te railroad or other
corporations, shall be disposed of only te ac
tual settlers In limited quantities, provided by
the law and the bona fide settlers on the un
earned lands within the limits of the Sioux
City and St. Paul Railroad company should
have their rights amply and speedily provided
for by the prompt enactment of congress to
effect that result. We are opposed to the ac
quisition of public land or any part thereof by
non-resident aliens.
10. We oppose any change In tha lavs of
currency ana finance' that will Increase the
burden* of the debtor class. We favor a re
vision of the patent laws for the better de
fense of the people against the frauds now
practiced thereunder. We favor such practi
cal improvements of the national waterway#
as shall secure the element of competition in
the transi>ortation of the country. We favor
the rigid enforcement of all laws far the sup
pression of polygamy.
11. The republican party ef lowa, while a
steady upholder of the ri_ ht and duty of the
state to regulate the traffic in liquor by such
methods as will suppress most of its evils,
has never made the support o! prohibition a
test of party fealty. It pledged tte honor to
enact, and afterwards did enact a law which
the people of lowa at a nonpartisan election
fairly held had ordered by an unquestioned
majority that came alike from the votera of
republican# and democrats. We declare now
for a fair and thorough trial of that law that
it may have time to demonstrate the efficiency
or prove its inefficiency before It is required
to give way to some other honest and earnest
method in the line of finding the true and
successful system of dealing with the liquor
traffic. We arraign and condemn the demo
cratic party of lowa for its action In declaring
for a 1250 license compulsory
on every community regardless or local
opinion for legalizing again la lowa the aale
of whisky and all other alcoholic liquors and
for removing all restrictions from the saloons,
giving s freedom la the liquor traffic that has
not existed la lowa for thirty years.
18. We hold steadily to the doctrine of tho
control and regulation of railroads by the peo
ple, as first established by a republican law in
lowa, wnlch was finally approved by the su
preme court of the United States. This prin
ciple glvea to the gene si assembly the power
to regulate state commerce, and to congress
the regulation of Inter-state commerce. Un
der republican rule and republican methods
the cost of trans|>orting prodace has been de
creased from three cents per ton per mile in
1870 to eight mills per ton per mile in 1885.'
We are opposed to all unjust and arbitrary
discriminations, poolings and combinations
which prevent legitimate competition or work
injustice to communities or individuals of the
state. The full measure of prosperity for the
agricultural manufacturing, commercial
and mining interests of oar state de
pends upon the just and Impartial
service of the great rail wav systems ope
rating within its borders, and holding their
corporate privileges under Its statutes and
any policy of railway management designed
to embarrass a single industry of oar com
monwealth far the direct benefit of corres
ponding Interests elsewhere, la a ft subject
for legislative inquiry and correction. We
favor the creation by congress of a national
commission for the supervision and regula
tion of Inter-state commerce. We favor the
election of railroad commissioners by the peo-
pie.
14. The importance of the live stock and
dairy interests of the state arc such as to call
for the better protection of their Interests.
We need further state and national legisla
tion more effectually to stop the spread af the
cattle plague and provide tor its eradication.
15. We favor such legislation as will keep
the litigation with corporations doing busi
ness in this state in our state courts,
16. We endorse the action of the Grand
Army of the Republic in their last state en
campment, asking th> t the legislature, at its
next session, should pass a bill and make an
appropriation for the establishment aad main
tenance within the state of lowa of a home
for disabled volunteer soldiers and sailors.
17. In the death of General Grant the na
tion has lost one of its greatest and best men
known In history. For his services to Che na
tion, we express our unbounded gratitude, for
his death, our unbounded sorrow; and to his
widow and family, we extend our slnoerest
sympathy and condolence

A former schoolteacher is arranging
to spend the winter iu New York City
studying painting and elocution.
J.J. Maple, of the McGregor lowa
schools, is the present efficient principal
of the new State normal school at
Milwaukee.
Reports from the State University
states that it never opened tip better
in the fall terra. The attendance in the
collegiate department surpasses former
years.
May Evans, of O. H. S. ’BS, has en
tered the freshman class at Penn col
lege. She is a worthy representve of
the city high school, and will make her
mark as a student.
The third week of school opens up
with an enrollment of 1221. These are
distributed as follows: Ist Ward
school 354, 2d Ward school 443, 3rd
Ward school liR), and 4th Ward school
234.
Miss Ellenberger and Miss Cad
wallader, the new teachers of the Os
kaloosa corps, are proving themselves
to he capable and efficient. Both give
evidence of the greatest success in the
work.
Mr. O. 11. Avey, the new Fourth
Ward principal, is doing well. He is a
strong and efficient instructor, and is
proving the w isdoin of the board of
education in placing him in that im
portant position.
The census of the city school district
shows that the he.ivj school population
belongs to the west side of the city.
The west half of the city enumerates
1359, while the east half has only 763
persons of school age.
There is beginning to lie some talk of
a new school house in the north paitof
the city to accommodate the children
that reside there. Such an arrangement
would hasten the building of new
homes in that direction.
Mr. It. Dumont was re-elected sec
retary of the Oskaloosa Board of Ed

about eleven years. Mr. Geo. W. Hale
was re-elected treasurer. 11 is term of
service consists of fifteen years or more.
Mr. O. C. Scott is the President of
the Elementary, Graded and Iligli
School Department of the lowa Teach
ers’ Association to meet in Des Moines
during holidays. He and his associates
are arranging a good programme of
practical subjects.
The board of directors of the lowa
Reading Circle met at Des Moines the
9th and 10th inst., to arrange the
second years’ work of the course.
Since the lirst years’ work has met
with such favor, the second year ought
to he soon announced.
Despite the “book war’’ that has been

Miss Lon a Call, sister of the late
Prof. I). F. Call, of the State University,
is at present filling the vacancy made
by her brother’s death. We hope that
the Hoard of Regents may tind her so
capable as to be worthy of election to
the chair of Greek, idled so acceptably
by her distinguished brother.
In the past six years 724 different
students have attended the Eastern
lowa Normal School. Of these tifty
five graduated before class ’BS. The
alumni catalogue recently published is
the best of evidence of the work done
at this school under the management
of Prof. E. R. Eldridge.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
paper knife made of orange wood, and
a book of beautiful views of Los An
geles, sent by Mrs. ,Jas. Lundy and her
son Walter. These mementoes will be
cherished in memory of one who was
once our pupil, but is now basking in
the joyous sunlight of a bi tter world.
The resignation of Mrs. V. K. Logan
leaves the city schools without a vocal
music teacher for the present. The
board will fill the place as soon as a
capable instructor with experience in
public school work can be found. Mrs.
Logan’s work has been of great benefit
to the schools. It will be difficult to
secure anyone who can do as well as
she has done.
W. I). Taylor, a Mahaska county
normal institute graduate of class of
’B4. has accepted the priucipalship of

choir engagements and study until
January 4, ’B6, when she will fill an en
gagement on a salary under the man
agement of the “American School of
Art” which is conducted by Theodore
Thomas and Madame Fursch Madi.
Our people will most sincerely wish
Mrs. Logan the most gratifying success.
The “dry closet” system in use at the
high school building is an ingenious
method of solving a difficult problem.
Any person interested in scientific
methods of ventilating and evaporation
should not fail to examine into the
working of this system as exhibited at
the high school. It is specially ap
plicable to private houses, hotels and
other buildings where air heating is
used.
O. H. Avey, the Democratic nominee
for county superintendent is a graduate
of Penn college. He has had experience
in couutry school work and for the past
two years has been one of the assistants
in the city high school. At present he
is holding the principalship of the
Fourth Ward school. His nomination
was by acclamation. He is a worthy
candidate and would make a good of
ficer.

with three new professors. Prof.
Sicard takes the chair of Latin and
French, Prof. Torrey that of Chemistry
while Prof. Emerson takes charge of
the Academy, succeeding Prof. J. Macy,
who becomes a regular professor. Prof.
Sicard is a Frenchman, Prof. Torrey is

Otttaid* Study.
The State Board of Health has issued
a circular in which the position is
taken that children under twelve years
of age should not be disturbed by
lessons outside of tho school room. By
these, night study should fco
while childish sports and games ought
to occupy the time, and build up
physical strength. Books and reading
are well enough, but up to this age they
should be confined to their proper
sphere. Barents should not let pride
and ambition overrate a child’s endur
ance, and urge him to night study and
nervous exhaustion.
After this age is passed, if fair
physical development has been secured
study outside of school hours is all
right. Pupils in high school work,
students in college and persons of
mature years are physically prepared
to give time aud labor to mental em
ployments without injury to health.
Pupils that attend high school after
expect to do class work, and devote but
little time to study outside of school
hours usually assigned to teaching.
This is a serious mistake. An education
that can be obtained without much
work is almost valueless. It can not
give anyone the requisite strength so
that he can go out into the work of life
aud be prepared to undertake its
difficult problems. Hard work and
hard study are the acts that determine
the future. Discipline never comes of
itself. It must be earned and now. It
is not easily secured. It demands
much for its services and company.
The full price must be paid cash down,
as no credit system is recognized.
It is for this reason that we ask our
boys and girls of the high school to
give their evenings to diligent study,
as by it they get that mental strength
and discipline that goes far toward de
term ing the future. Knowledge of
itself is but little help, but coupled
with discipline it enables the mind of
man to ride in triumph over difficulty
and discouragement. The future is
full of hope to him who faithfully pre
pares for it, it is just as full of dispair
and remorse for him who because
of neglect or indifference finds himself
at the period of opening manhood un
prepared for any good or desirable
vocation. “The mill can never grind
with the water that is past.”

Cassis Fry,
Primary Teacher.
The school is reported in a flourishing condi
tion, and the teachers express themselves as
being highly pleased with the pupils, as well as
the cordial manner in which they are welcomed
and encouraged by the patrons of the schools.
Let the parents remember that to the teacher
alone does not belong the work of education, as
the pupil is uuder his or her direct coutrol for
only a comparatively small portion of his time.
He is only a factor In the great work, and that
factor can accomplish but little unless aided by
the home talent. Let every parent render his
assistance at his own home, and encourage the
pupils aud teachers by his presence in the
school room at least once each term. When the
laws of lowa make it the duty of the County
Superintendent to visit the schools and aid the
teachers, should not the law of nature excite
enough interest on the part of the parent for
his own children, that he could donate at least
one-half a day to the interest of his offspring in
the school room? Robin.
Some people make a business of cheat
ing themselves, either by eating very
mean and cheap food, or else by eating
too small a quantity of good food.
Either way is as bad policy as it would
be to buy a coffin instead of a suit of
good clothes, just because the coffin
cost less. Poor diet means impoverish
ed blood; and that means misery.
Brown’s Iron Bitters enriches the blood,
gives it the iron it needs, and tones up
the whole system. Cures dyspepsia,
indigestion, weakness, malaria, etc.
Gillette is not a Democrat. He is a
sneaking, canting, hypocritical dema
gogue—a man whom all honest and in
telligent Democrats should despise.
He has traduced the dearest of all prin
ciples to us. And we say, and say it
emphatically, that a party that proved
itself so cowardly as ours has proven
it ought to be damned from hell to
Jericno. Look at it! over 100,000
Democrats bowing in meek supplica
tion to about 6,000 cranks. Are we a
party, or are we a second class mob V
It would appear to us that we are the
latter. To catch a few votes from the
crazy Greeubackers, we sacrifice all
principle. Shame, shame! We are
sorry that the day has come when we
are asked to crawl upon our knees and
kiss the hands that would crush us
from existence should the opportunity
occur. Gillette may be honest in his
demands for support. But we believe
he is a brazen faced demagogue—a liar
for office —a man without principle—a
man who would, as he has, sell his
birthright for a nomination for any
office. We shall never “eat crow.
Those who desire may. This is our
position. Make the most of it.
Mr. W. W. Armitage, architectural

that having a very severe cough, which
he found it difficult to remove, he tried
Red Star Cough Cure, and after a few
doses was completely cured. Encour

it to the young members of his family,

September, 1886, was nearly normal
in temperature and cloudiness, south
erly winds prevailing. The first twelve
days were cold and very rainy; the bal
ance of the month was remarkably
(inland warm till the 28tb, when an
other rainy spell began. No general
frost has occurred yet, and the corn
cron of this year is safe.
The mean temperature of the month
was one fifth of a degree above normal.
The first decade was very cold, being
ten degrees below normal. The first
frost of the-season occurred on the 6th,
in northern lowa, where the corn was
nipped on low lands. The second and
third decades were warm, being five
and a half degrees above the normal
temperature of the season.
The total rainfall at the central sta
tion was but three-fourths of the norm
al amount. In southern and central
lowa the rainfall lias considerably ex
ceeded the normal, doing damage to
grain stacks and interfering with the
Fairs held during the first twelve days
of the month.
From the ISth to the 27th, inclusive,
the weather has been generally warm,
dry and very beautirul. Threshing
and all other early fall work was fa
vored, and the great corn crop ripened.
No severe windstorm has occurred in

WHEN BLEAK DA FS RULE.
C. O. HLANDKRH.
Now bleak days rule, with hints of snow,
And roses fall and chill winds blow
The wooded paths are strewn with leaves;
The corn Is huddled up in sheaves;
And all the birds do southward go.
Beside my tire I watch the glow
That flits on walls and floor below;
It seems to haunt these lengthened eves.
Now bleak days rule.
Dear faces rise I used to kuow,
With eyes that laugh uudlmmed by woe—
O Time, forbear, thou worst of thieves;
They’re gone! I’m old, and winter grieves
Departed springs and summers low.
Now bleak days rule.

WE BUAML KNOW.
We ask. and we are answered not,
And so we say God has forgot.
Or else there Is no God.
The years
Roll back, aud through a mist of tears
I see a child turn from her play,
And seek, with eager feet, the way
That led her to her father’s knee.
“If God is good and kind,” said she,
“Why did he let my roses die?”
A moment’s pause, a smile, a sigh.
And then: “I do not know, my dear;
Home questions are not answered here.”
“But Is It wrong to ask?” "Not so.
My child. That we should seek to know
Proves right to know beyond a doubt;
Aud some day we shall find out
Why roses die.”
Aud then I wait,
Sure of my answer soon or late;
Secure that love doth hold for me
l'he key to life’s great mystery;
And O, so glad to leave It there!
t hough my dead roses were so fair.
Am Ingenious Letter.
A young lady, newly married, being
obliged to show her husband all the let
ters she wrote, sent the following to a
friend. The key is to read the first and
then every alternate line only;
1 cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend,
blest as I am In the matrimonial state,
uuless I pour into your friendly bosom,
which has ever been In unison with mine,
the various sensations which swell
with the liveliest emotion of pleasure
my almost bursting heart. I tell you my dear
husband Is the most amiable of men.
1 have now been married seven weeks, aud
have never found the least reason to
repeat the day that joined us. My husband is
both In person and manner far from resembling
ugly cross, old disagreeable and jealous
monster, who thinks by confining to secure
a wife. It is his maxim to treat as a
bosom friend and confidant, and not as a
plaything or menial slave, the woman
chosen to be his companion. Neither party,
he says, should always obey Implicitly;
but each yield to the other by turns
An ancient maiden aunt, neat 70,
a cheerful, pleasant and venerable old lady,

light of both young and old; she Is ci
vil to all the neighborhood round,
finerous and charitable to the poor.
am convinced my husband loves nothing more
than he does me: he flatters me more
than a glass; and his Intoxication
(lor so I must call the excess of his love)
often makes me blush for the unworthiness
of Its object, and wish I could be more deserving
of the man whose name I bear. To
s ty all In one word, my dear, and to
crown the whole—my former gallant lover
Is now my indulgent husband; my husband
is returned, and 1 might have had
a Prince without the felicity I find In
him. Adieu! may you be blest as lam un
able to wish that 1 could be more
happy.

Under the Harvest Muon.
By Robert J. Burdette.
All day he wrought under the burn
ing harvest sun. Any other man
would have worked, but Lysander
Upsilon wrought. He wrouht with a
rake fifteen feet long, behind a reaper
that could make twenty knots an hour
on an upgrade. LySander’s back was
full of wneat-beards, but his heart was
full of love. The real kind of lovey
dove-dovey-love-dove-love that makes
an old married man sick. It also
makes him swear. Lysander did not
know this, so he just went on in the
usual disgusting way common to young
people who have it for the first time.
Lysander Billings* was gone on the
farmer’s daughter. The farmer had a
homely old wife and two sons, but only
the daughter could fill Lysander’s
heart, although the old man filled his
plate. Lysauder did not let the old
man into the secret of his love for
Edith Merrill and the half of the farm
which was hers—to get. He hinted at
something of the kind, but the tiller
of the soil didn’t appear to catch on
with much cordiality. He seemed to
Lysander to be cold and distant, but
not quite so distant that he couldn’t
fetch Lysander a whack over the
broad of his back with a rake-handle,
nor so cold that he couldn’t swear in
tones that soured the milk in the
spring-house that if he ever heard an
other word of that nonsense he would
salt down his winter’s pork with the
briny tears of his willful child mourn
ing for a presumptuous lover who
could not be buried until they got all
of him together. Lysander Higgins
was looking around for a father-in-law
that understood his business, but
somehow Farmer Tbristlepod suited
him too well. “I’ll bide my time,” he
said simply. “You can have it for
$1.50 a day,” replied the farmer eager
ly. who knew where he could get an
other hand for SI.OO. Lysander held
his peace. Under his indenture it was
all he could hold.
Farmer Blackbean watched the
young people with eyes of suspicion,
and paid blind old Mike $1 to watch
them with isinglass. All their move
ments being watched all the time,
theirs was a hard case, and Lysander
was half dueled by Edith’s two broth
ers, George and Henry Hayseed. But,
though he was ready to dial little for
her, he didn’t propose to make an air
spring for such nooseances as those
two young men, who were too young
to fool, not old enough to buy.
“Edith,” said Lysander, “we will fly.”
“How far?” asked the angel.
“So far,” he said, and led ner to one
in the corner. There they laid the old
plan and played the old man, who slept
unconscious of coming events which
which cast their shadows behind.
“Fly to the desert with me,” said Ly
sander. “I will,” she said; “what have
you for desert?” “Rock candy, myown
est son. Art ready to fly ?”
Edith Slaymaker was just too flv for
anything, and away they fled on the
wings of the house, when Edith packed
up a few things to wear, for by dawn
they would be where they would have
to beware of everybody. The clock
tolled 1, but nobody heard it; a door
closed very softly, and a very soft
adored closely; two sets of noiseless
footfalls sounded harshly on the un
broken silence of the sleeping night,
and they were gone. Gawn, gone.
Not lost, but gone before a. m.
A lapse of period has passed away,
borne on the fleeting wings of time.
There is a bank whereupon wild thyme
grows, where sleeps the fairy queen,
and there is a faro bank whereon you
grow wild time and time again, betting
on the queen. Lysander and Edith re
turn to her bow-wow-er, who is out in
the yard, unchained and looking for
tramps. They seek her father’s pre
sents, but he has none. He is too old
a faker for such a giveaway as that.
He is not stern, although it is his stern
now. He only says:
“Bless you, my children. You are
thrice wel
♦The reader may notice that the
names of the characters in this history
change with startling abruptness ana
frequency. This is because the author
has a very poor memory for names.
Be assured of a fathers forgiveness
and affection. Lysander Mullens, you
will find your old familiar scythe in
its accustomed place in the barn. Hie
thee to the mowin’ lot."
Then, turning to his good wife, old
Farmer Throckmoton said:
“That’s the sixth daughter we’ve
married off to good, hard-working
ydung men, and the six weddings, all
ioM, clothes, parson’s fees, license, and
all, never cost us a solitary cent. I
wish the two boys were each others’s
sisters."
Even if Athlophoros—the cham
pion remedy for Rheumatism and Neu
ralgia— proa uoed no other effect than
giving speedy relief to pain, reducing
swelling, and limbering stiffened mus
cles, it would still outrank all ordinary
remedies. But it does vastly more. It
goes for the causes of the pains and
swellings which it finds in the blood
and destroys them. The acidulous
poisons expelled from blood and sys
tem, a healthy and natural circulation
restored, the work of Atiilophobos is
I done, and the sufferer is well.
Fitz John Porter, in the October
number of the American Revimc,
in view of recent strikes or riots, dis
cusses the question how mobs should
be suppressed. He says;
“Mobs are cowards at first. Crime
always enervates. They only gain
courage as they find that those whose
duty it is to suppress them are them
selves cowards. A mob is not to be
feared when it is first aroused, it is
only as its passion for carnage is whet
ted by the taste of blood, or its greed
for pillage is gratified, that it becomes
dangerous.
‘Tpon whomsoever devolves the
duty of suppression, let this be his first
effort, check at the very beginning; al
low no tumultuous gatherings; pemit
no delay; a few stern, resolute words;
if these be not heeded, then strike res
olutely. boldly; let there be no hesita
tion; if necessary, take life at the out
set. It will be more merciful take
one’s life then that to suffer the mob
to take the lives of many, or to be com
pelled to sacrifice the innocent with
the guilty at the point of the bayoner,
or iu the discharge of musketry or can
non. But the necessity to take life
will not arise unless there be inactivity
and indecision at the outset on the
part of the authorities.
“Before the time shall come when it
will be necessary to use musket-bail or
bayouet, the opportunity will be af
forded to suppress the not; perhaps at
the sacrifice of a few broken heads, or
by the imprisonment of some of its
leaders.
“In every large city, in fact in every
city where a police force is employed a
perfect drill should prepare policemen
to meet the exigencies arising from
any tumultuous assemblage of the peo
ple; so that, at a moment’s warning,
these conservators of the peace will
be ready to act, and to act understand-
and promptly. It will be found
that a few determined policemen,
placed in the field at a moment’s no
tice, will prove one of tne best and
most direct methods of quelling a mob.
These, by skillful maneuvers, can take
a mob in a tlank, or in rear, or in ft out,
if necessary, and so employ themselves
and their clubs that almost before the
mob would kuow what was impelling
them they would be driven from the
field of action. This drilling, advised
to be used with policemen, can also be
used to excellent advantage with the
militia of every State, so that in time
of an emergency they can be used with
as good effect as policemen. It has
often been found, in the history of the
riots of this country, that when the
soldiery have been brought in the face
of a mob, even the officers were so
unacquainted with their duties as to
evince the most ridiculous ignorance
of what wtts required of them and of
their men in the exigency; and they
their troops have been driven ignomini
ously from the field. They would
have known what to do, without hesi
tation, had they been in the face of an
enemy; but, surrounded as they were
by a frantic mob, they failed—and for
lack of the necessary drilling.
“In the draft riot of 1863, after the
mob had had full possession of the city
of New York for several days, and the
United States troops had been called
in with little or no effect, and the State
militia had tailed, the police of the
city, by their bold, brave, and indefati
gable action, quelled the riot and pre
vented any further disorder. It was a
remarkable instance of what can be
done by a drilled organization. Since
that time no riot could by any pos
sibility have occurred in that great
city. The police force of New York
are ready to act in any emergency; and
it is very doubtful whether it would
be necessary to call in the aid of the
State troops, or of the United States
forces, in case a riot were threatened.
Governor Seymour, in a proclamation
made just after this riot, ga«e due
credit to the police force, fully ap-
Ereciating their magnificent services.
,et it be known iu every large town
and city throughout the land, that the
police force is constantly under con
trol and discipline, r»*ady promptly to
perform its whole duty iu case of any
riotous action, and there will an end of
these turbulent assemblages.”

The mere idea a Republican candi
date riding on a railroad pass is mad
dening to a Democrat or a Green back
er. J. B. Weaver is the Greenback
Congressman from the Sixth District
of lowa, and the man whom oi all oth
ers the Democrats of lowa fear and
reverence. He opened the Democratic
campaign in a speech at Davenport
last Saturday night, in which he de
voted considerable time to a fierce de
nunication of the railroads of lowa
for issuing free passes, and the Repub
lican party for not having legislated
against the pass outrage. Gillette, the
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, the champion of prohibition
and woman suffrage, and fiat money,
spoke in Atlantic, we believe, the same
night, and was equally ferocious in
denunciation of the free pass iniquity.
Aud yet both gentlemen rode to and
from their speaking places on free
passes, and both gentlemen carry in
their pocket free passes over three
fourths of the railroads in lowa.
Weaver rides to Washington and back
on free passes. He has not paid a dol
lar for railroad fare in ten years. He
has made something like a dozen trips
to Washington in the last year, and
no railroad has seen the color ot his
money. He has traveled freely, un
taxed and unchallenged on free passes
—the monumental railroad deadbeat
of the period. Yet, in the speech with
which he opened the Democratic cam
paign last Saturday he had the amaz
ing impudence and pharaiseeism to
abuse the railroads and the Republican
party on account of the free p. ss sys
tem.
Here is an illustration of the ingrain
insincerity and knavishness of this
man Weaver, now’ the acknowledged
boss of the Democratic party, which
every voter can comprehend and ap
preciate. Think of this smirking ras
cal, this political blackleg, in all the
plenitude of unlimited gall, standing
before an audience of his fellow citi
zens and savagely abusing the Repub
lican party for permitting railroads to
issue passes, with free passes in his
pocket at that very moment over half
the railroads in the country! That is
the man who is running the Democrat
ic campaign this year. That is the
man who ran the Democratic conven
tion aud chose the candidates. That
is the man whom self-respecting Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers are compelled
to serve. That is the man whom CoL
Eiboeck, of the Des Moines Aruieger,
recently charged with plotting by
fusion to get as many Greenbackers
elected in the legislative districts as
possible, so that if in the next or suc
ceeding legislatures the fusionists have
a majority, he, through his gang of
Greeubackers would hold the balance
of power, to be used for his own eleva
tion to the United States Senate. That
is the man who has not only captured
the Democratic party and decided its
ticket, platform and policy, but he has
actually given it a new christening and
a new name. There is no longer a
Democratic party in lowa even by
name. In the place of it we have the
Fusion party, and Weaver is its proph
et and “boss.”
