DENI80N.
THURSDAY JULY iS, 1S7S.
There were seven cases of sun-
stroke in Quincy, Illinois, on the 14th
inst., five of which proved fatal.
Professor Tice is credited with
having made the prediction that the
161I1 of July would be the warmest
day of the season. If so he was
ahead of time about two days.
A white man blacked like a ne-
gro, was detected in Dallas last Sat-
urday, who, seeing his disguise was
penetrated, fled and made good his
escape—Sam Bass, of coursc.
A farmer went to Dallas with a
load of corn, for which he was offer-
ed only fifty cents per bushel. This
gave the granger such a disgust that
he dumped the whole cargo into the
river.
A printer named Olaus Anderson,
fell from a third story window of the
City Hall building, St. Paul, Min-
nesota, to the sidewalk, on the 14th
inst., and was instantly killed. He
was about 50 years of age.
Solicitude is becoming general re-
garding the condition of the wheat
crop in Wisconsin, The continued
rains with wind and sultry weather
between, create fears of damage both
from lodging and rust.
An exchange says that James Rob-
inson, the workl-renowned bare-back
rider, is having a mammoth barn
built on his farm, eight miles north
of Mexico, and after this season will
abandon the circus business and re-
tire to farming.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
sun may be formed by making the
following diagram with a pair of
compasses. Strike a circle with a
radius of about seven-eighths of an
inch, then inside of this another cir-
cle with one-half inch radius. In
the center make a spot with your
pencil about the size of a small pin
head. The spot will reproacnt the
relative size of the earth, the smaller
circle the orbit of the moon and the
largest circle the surface or circum-
ference of the sun!
Civil Service Roform.
Instead of canvassing the Depart-
ments for election funds,the Secre-
tary of the Republican Congr essional
Committee has caused a circular to
be distributed among the clerks and
others informing them that as the
rulers render difficult their absence
during office hours, arrangements
have been made with the Treasurer
to be at a specified bank from 4 to 5
o'clock each afternoon to receive
contributions. Several clerks have
refused to be bled, but they thus
take the chances of losing their
places.
Indian Agoncy Thiovos.
A special to the New York Times
from Fort Thompson, Dakota, re-
ports the discovery of most extensive
frauds at the Indian agency of that
section. Last March tlie Crow,
Creek, Lower Brule and Cheyenne
agencics were all seized by the mili-
tary. A secret investigation into
their affairs developed a conspiracy
between the agents and traders that
startles the natives. Dr. Living-
stone of Crow Creek was taken
without warning, and his office safe
' captured before he had time to re-
move the evidences of his wealth
and guilt. The evidence which is
constantly accumulating, shows Liv-
ingstone and his ring are not only
guilty of thievery and forgery, but
perjury also, and of the blackest
character. They stole everything
in sight. As an example ot how
they did it, Indians who worked a
day or two were rated at $60 and
$90 per month for four whole quar-
ters for a year and three-quarters.
It is such rascals as Livingstone who
crcate the Indian wars. The Cana-
dian government has no serious trou-
ble with the Indians, simply because
there are no lings organized under
protection of the government to rob
them.
The "poet priest," Father Ryan,
made a point in his Mississippi City
spccch when he spoke of Jefferson
Davis as a man who had never been
investigated.
SPECIAL LOCALS.
"For many years I have heard of Sim-
mons* Liver Regulator, ana now regiet I
so loni> neglected to take it regularly, for
had I known its great virtue sooner, It
would, no donbt, have relieved me before,
as it has done now, of all the debility and
dvspepsla from which I suffered so long.
"V. A. MENARLf."
"We feel it a duty we owe to the pub-
lic, as well as tha patentee and propri-
etor of Hart's Anti-Billious Discovery, to
bear testimony to its efficacy in every In-
stance where it has been tried In our fam-
ily. We have used the Discovery for sev-
eral months, and for dyspepsia, head-
ache. constipation and general debility,
have had such evidences ot its intrinsic
value as to warrant us in most cordially
recommending it as being all and more
than is claimed for it by its manufactur-
ers."—Morristoivn ( Tain,) Gazette.
To avoid the danger of infection, the
linen of persons suffering from sklri dis-
eases of a contagious nature should be
washed with Glunn's Suli'Iiur Soap.
Hill's Instantaneous Hair Dye contains
no metalic poison.
♦
Liver is King.
The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the
life health and happiness of man. When
it is disturbed in its proper action, all
kinds of ailments arc the natural result.
The digestion of food, the movements of
the heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system, are all imme-
diately connected with the workings of
the liver. It has been successfully proved
that Green's August Flower is unequaled
in curing all persons afllicted with dys-
pepsia or liver complaint, and all the
numerous symptoms which result from
an unhealthy condition of the liver and
stomach. Sample bottles to try 10 cents.
Positively sold in all towns on" the West-
ern Continent. Three doses will prove
that, it is just what you want.

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in hir hands by an
East India missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy
and permanent cure ot consumption,
bror.chitis, catarrh, asthma, and all
throat and lung affections, also a positive
and radical cure for nervous debility and
all nervous complaints, after having
tested its wonderful curative powers in
thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to
make it known to his suffering fellows.
Actuated by this motive, and a desire to
relieve human suffering, Twill send, free
of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe,
with full directions for preparing and us-
ing, in 'German, French, or English.
Sent by mail by addressing with stamp,
naming this paper. W. W. Sherar, 149
