A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED At I'anawa, Columbia, by Cliumberlain'H Coltc, Cholera and IMarhoca lleinedy. Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician, Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states: "Last March 1 had as a patient a young lody sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She bad become so weak that she could not-turn over-in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better inside of three days was upon her feet and at the end of one week was en tirely well".—For sale by .Shuttle worth Drug. Co.

Kostohryz, one of the reliable farmers of New Oregon township, has provided abundantly for suppling his family with apples and plums. We brought home with us a fine supply of the former. Y.L. Vrbahas three quarter-section farms in a body. The lastone bought is one in Winneshiek adjoining his on the east It cost him 050 an acre and was a bargain at the price. He is one of the prospering farmers of New Oregon township. Jos. Morovetz is having a large barn built on his farm in New Oregon. It will be 48x52 feet on the ground with 26 foot posts. The foundation walls are made from the granite rocks that are found scattered over the prairie. John Pecinovsky has a young orchard of one thousand trees, healthy and finely cared for. It covers eight acres of his farm and is beginning to bear fruit abundantly, fine samples of his winter varieties were given us. He is also adding to bis residence a fine two story addition. It is needless to say that he is one of the progressive farmers of New Oregon twp. Every thing about the farm affirms the fact stated. Ed Slama, of New Oregon township, is a fair type of the Bohemians who located in this county in its early history, as are Joe Mlady and the numerous Pecinovsky's, and. the Chyles and the Bouskas. All have become prosperous and well-to-do, and all have moved from the primitive homes they occupied in the early *60's into fine farm houses elegantly furnished. Their barns would make the German farmers about York, Pennsylvania, where fine barns are proverbial, envious. At Mr. Slama's our collector found a fine dinner and a cordial welcome awaiting him on Tuesday. Frank Sitka and John Hosek have fine farms with nice im provements. Our young friend W. J. Benda is doing nicely on the old home farm. By the w^y he plowed up on the farm some time in the past what indicates a huiqan skull in its forma tion, petrified as solid rock, and in the neap future will have it in this office for the inspection of the curious. The harvest in New Oregon has been a fairly good one. Oats are of a good quality and the yield is quite satisfactory. The yield of hay has been light, but with the corn fodder they have feed enough for their stock. Corn will be a middling crop in por tions of the town, but many fields are badly injured from the heat and drouth. P. M. Herold, J. J. Volkering, John Vrba, anew comer on the farm long occupied by Martin Pridal, and John Vorda on the Mlady farm and Herman Kull on the Kull farm in New Oregon are among those from whom we ac knowledge favors extended to our collector on his recent trip through the township.
