North McGregor, Iowa, Feb. 23,
1897.—My little ones were greatly
pleased with the paper dolls sent for
one trade mark from Hood's Pills
and 10c in stamps. I have been trou
bled for the past six years with a tired
feeling, impure blood, and poor diges
tion, but Hood's Sarsaparilla has given
me relief from these difficulties, and I
recommend it to persons suffering
with similar troubles.-Harold Wioland

PLUCK, PROGRESS, PERSEVERANCE AND PATRIOTISM IN POLITICS.
t- I
The District Coth-t with Judge Hob
son presiding Commenced the March
term Monday afternoon, devoting that
day to the dispatch of probate mat
ters. The following day was devoted
to defaults and to obtaining a jury in
the case of Phelps vs Price. The at
torneys in the case are C. C. Upton
and W. L. Eaton for the defense and
W. L. Converse and Frank Sayre for
the' plaintiff. It is thought the case
will not go to the jury before this
morning. The otlier attorneys from
out of town were H. L. Spaulding of
Elma, B. N. Hendricks of Riceville.
•W. H. Hanson of Lime Springs, G. W.
Adams of Decorah. A large amount
of business has been transacted Judge
Hobson is prompt in his rulings, and
very correct in law points. In another
column will be found a report of the
court's doings up to the time of going
to press.
A Brutal Deed-
It is reported that a couple of men
passing tho home ?f Mr. G. L. Moore,
in Saratoga township, called his dog,
a ten months shepherd pup to them,
when one of them in the very presence
of the family siezed the pup and cut
its throat leaving it half dead. The
man who would be guilty of such, an
act would be a dangerous neighbor
one just as likely to injure other do
mestic animals as the farm dog. In
deed it is no uncommon thing for ma
liciously inclined persons toward the
property of another to, by some means,
get the dog which might bark at their
presence at unseemly hours, out of the
way. Their calling the dog to them
as reported in this case, tends to show
that it was not a vicious one.
