KING'S EVIL
"Was the name formerly given to Scrofula
because of a superstition that it could be
cured bj a king's touch. The world is
wiser now, and knows that'
SCROFULA
can only be cured by a thorough purifica
tion of the blood. If this is neglected,
the disease perpetuates its taint through
generation after generation. Among Its
earlier symptomatic developments are
Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu
mors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas,
Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Phy
sical Collapse, etc. If allowed to con
tinue. Rheumatism, Scrofulous Ca
tarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases,
Tubercular Consumption, and vari
ous other dangerous or fatal maladies, are
produced by it.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is the only powerful and always reliable
blood-purifying medicine. It. is so effect
ual an alterative that it eradicates from
the system Hereditary Scrofula, and
the kindred poisons of contagious diseases
and mercury. At the same time it en
riches and vitalizes the blood, restoring
healthful action to the vital organs ana
rejuvenating the entire system. This great
Regenerative Medicine
Is composed of the genuine Honduras
Sarsaparilla, with Yellow Dock. Stil~
lingia, the lodides of Potassium and
Iron, and other ingredients of great po
tency, carefully and scientifically com
pounded. Its formula is generally* known
to the medical profession, and the best
physicians constantly prescribe Ayer's
Sarsaparilla as an
Absolute Cure
For all diseases caused by the vitiation of
the blood. It is concentrated to the higt
est practicable degree, far beyond any
other preparation for which like effects
are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest,
as well as the best blood purifying medi
cine, in the world.

St. Paul, Feb. 25, 1884.
To the Hon. Board of Education, St. Paul:
The Committee on Real Estate report that
they have carefully examined the plans of
the different school buildings referred to
them, and make the following report: The
Neill school building, first estimate about
§27,000.00, reduced to about $22,500.00; new
plans drawn by Mr. Millard, estimated cost
about $18,500. The Rice school we had new
plans drawn by Mr. Gauger; estimated cost
about $18,500.00. The Humboldt addition
■was changed from four rooms to a six-room
addition, which can be done for about §200.00
additional cost over the first cost, $12,300.00.
The Adams school addition we recommend
no change. The Harrison school was re
duced from §15,200.00 to about $13,000.00.
Respectfully submitted,
William Berlaxdi, Chairman.
It -was moved by Inspector Murphy that
the Board advertise for bids for two weeks in
the official paper of the Board, which motion
was carried by unanimous vote.
It was moved by Inspector Horn that the
President appoint a committee of two, to act
with the attorney of the Board in preparing a
form of advertisement of bids for school
houses and additions, which motion was car
ried, and the President appointed as such
committee, Inspectors Horn and Schiffmann.
On motion of Inspector Athey the secretary
was also authorized to advertise for bids in
the Pioneer Prat and Volkszeitung.
Communication from the St. Paul Turn
Verein, inviting the members of the Board to
be present at an examination of scholars in
calisthenics at Turner hall on March 1, 1884,
was read and the invitation accepted.
The Superintendent reported the resigna
tion of Miss Belle Menzies, also that of Miss
Milnor. The matter was referred to the Com
mittee on Schools.
There being no further business the Board
adjourned.
R. Schiffmaxn", Secretary pro tern.
MADELIA.
Weather warm and thawing.
A baker is needed in this town.
Good wood is plenty at $4.00 and $4,"0.
Business is not over done here in any line.
The Madeliamills are making better flour than
ever before.
It. Groudy, of St. Panl, has been buying horses
here —bought seven yesterday.
No fires, deaths or weddings. The latter are
not to be expected unless we have some enter
prising unmarried male emigrants.
E. A. Wood, commission merchant from the
Union stock yards, Chicago, while spending a
week here recently closed a contract with King
& Wadswerth for a thousand head of one and two
year old cattle, for a Montana ranch.
I found W. K. Holmes the genial landlord of
the "Flanders house"' at his favorite vocation
piling coals on thp fire, there he sits day after
day this cold weather putting coal into an im
mense heater whenever there is room enough for
another coal, if ever you get snowed in you get
to the Flanders and yon will never freeze.
Holmes is nn enthusiast on this heating ques
tion. They keep the front door open half the
time, the snow is kept melted clear across
the street, the grass is green around the office
door.
There are more handsome girls and homely
men in Madelia for its population than any other
place in the state. "They say" that the only es
corts the yonng ladies have are lads in their teens,
brothers, fathers and married men. The young
gentlemen are wholly nnmindfnl of the fair sex.
It is even said that none of them can be got
to take part in any local concerts and entertain
ments. The Peak Sisters, a yonng ladies club
gave an entertainment a few days ago, and the
only gentleman connected with the show wa9 a
married gentlemen, Mr-Geo. Kettleson. Worse
than all this dame rumor says npon her honor,
that some of these young men have broken their
new year resolutions, and have gone to playing
poker again after having agreed to quit.
About two weeks ago Mr. Brown, a traveling
collector of the St. Paul Harvester company,
spent some time here. He carried about §20,000
collections with him. He collected right and
left, went through blizzards and collected bills
that were outlawed years ago, gorged the chattel
mortgage pigeon holes with farmers' securities,
and enriched the register of deeds
with real mortgages recording fees.
He was a persuader, a bulldozer, or
anything else that the occasion
demanded. So snecesssful was he that onr mer
chant? employed him to do their collecting. I
am told the following story: He went to collect
a bill the second time at a. certain house. They
set the dogs on him, the boys snowballed him,
the woman ponred hot water on him, bnt still he
came right into the house. In desperation the
old man fired a 44 Smith & Wesson. The ball
glanced from Brown's cheek, the old man fainted
and when he was restored, Brown was hovering
over him wtth a chattel mortgage, pushing a wet
pen into his hand, sayiug, "Old man, sign right
there." The old man signed.
Bad Form.
[Xew York Graphic]
The latest agony in Boston is said to be the
painting of family portraits on the "compa
ny china." This is a foolish and impractica
ble custom. We know a lady whose por
trait would curdle a milk punch.
Quite as Good as a \od.
