A THING OF BEAUTY Is A JOY FOR
EvER.--Who can be beautiful with q
sickly pale complexion. Keep thepores
Of the skin free, and the blood pure,
and your cheeks will vie with the rose
and lily. The skin is formed With thou
sands Of pores in every inch Of surface
whose Office it is to carry of the impu-
rites Of the blood-the acknowledged
cause of all disease Of mankind-when
the skin is dry and parched-when it is
covered with eruptions-when it is cold
and clammy, wehn there is inward fever
or inflammation, it is impossible for the
skin under these circumstances to per-
form its proper functions, and to carry
of the impurities from the body as de-
signed by our Creator.
Judsons Mountain Herb Pills remove
these distractions, and produce free and
healthy blood, remove the eruptions of
the skin, and cause it to brighten with
the flush Of youth and beauty. Beauty
80 much admired and loved. Beauty
without paints and cosmetics, but beau
ty produced by health and happiness.
Judson's Mountain Herb Pills sold
by all Medicine Dealers.

where you will find an immense
stock of dry goods, groceries,
clothing, boots and shoes, hats
and caps, with geutlemenly clerks.
We will step into HOFFMAN
& Benton's in the brick block
fronting the square, where you
will find untold quantities of
groceries and dry goods literally
jambing the building from cellar
to garnet, and all at very liberal
rates.
Now if you wish to be shod up
in good style, have any furs or
hides to sell, or wish = stock of
leather, we'll drop in and see Da-
vid K. Hobart in the Exchange
Building. Here we find about
40 cords of boots and shoes put
up nicely in cases, ready for the
wholesale trade, also any quanti-
ty Of leather; and facing about,
we find ourselves surrounded by
a heavy stock of boots and shoes
thrown open to the retail trade;
and what is better, the terms are
such as to invite patronage.
Yes, an awful cold day! So
we'll step up street to Evans
new block and call on ''Cheap
Mack" examine his stock of
stoves and tin-ware, and bring
home one of those stoves that
are cooling to a room in sum-
mer and blazing hot in winter.
Mack keeps a rare assortment
of choice patterns with prices so
low as to almost induce you to
buy for future use, regardless of
present wants.
Stepping further up street, we
come to the wholesale and re-
tail house of Scott & Brother,
where We find an immense stock
comprising everything adapted to
the wholesale and retail trade of
the northwest, and as liberal
dealers as the city affords.
Still further up the street we
find the hardware store of Stow
& Hopkins, where we find a
large and well selected stock of
stoves, hollow-ware, tin and sheet
iron, in any quantity, to either
supply the wholesale trade or
for the more limited demand of
the retail buyer. Their stoves
are Of the newest styles, Of the
best and choicest patterns and as
cheap as any man dare sell and
think of living.

Our own State the boosted land
of freedom, believing that our in

provisions requiring material
witnesses in criminal cases to en-.

appearance at the trial of said
cause, and he who would question
the justice of our State law would
be looked upon with suspicion by
all law abiding people. The State
of Iowa enacts as follows upon
this question, in the Code of
Iowa, page 400:
Whenever the magistrate is satisfied
by oath or otherwise that there is rea-
son to believe that any such witness
will not fulfil his undertaking to appear
and testify unless surety be required,
he may order the witness to enter into
a written undertaking with suret;es,
and in such sum as he may deem proper
for his appearance.
Infants and married women who are
material witnesses against the defendant
may in like manner be required to pro-
cure sureties, for their appearance IS
provided in the preceding section.

ATROPER ENACTMENT,

ArROPER ENACTMENT
In 1916, it become necessary
for Congress to enact, a law to
compel the attendance of material
witnesses in cases where it became
necessary to prosecute parties en-
gagged in the African slave trade.
And it was then contemplated
that cases would ultimately arise
in administering our government,
mad require such a law for the
punishments ofother crimes and
misdemeanors, where the U. S.
was a party to the suit.
To meet this genaral necessity,
men Of all parties united in pas
sing law that should in such
cases compel the attendance of
reluctant witness, if called in be-
half Of the United States.
But now how changed; the very
men who were the warmest in
support of that law being the fore
most in denouncing it.
But why this student change in
sentiment.2 Thenit was supposed
that such a law was absolutely
necessary to meet out justice to
those who not having the fear of
God or the veneration of our laws
in view should violate both with
impunity.
But when it may become nee
cssary to use this statute in pro-
curing the attendance of witness
es, to testify against those having
the recklessnss to raise the arm of
flesh and blood against the perpe-
tuity Of our government, then
this statute is assailed as a ETY.
ranical, law" and those compelled
to appear and give in their testi-
mony are become ssmartyrs."
One would suppose from the long
bitter wall sent up by the opposi-
ton press that this law in its
characterwas ofthe most reprehen-
sible and oppressive character.
But that cur readers may Judge
for themselves in this matter we
give them the act Of Congress re-
quiring that material witnesses in
cases where the United States is a
party shall enter into q recognize
ance for their appearance at the
trial Of said cause, and of the
laws Of Iowa, requiring the same
thing in cases where the State of
Iowa is a party to the action.
And we would remark, that a
similar enactment is now in force
in every State Of the union.
The act Of Congress is as fol-
lows, upon, this question:
"Act Of Congress of 1876, Aug. g.

The Hon. John sGdel, United States Senator
from Louisiana, &C., &C.. on Saturday inflated the
traditional prudence Of that famous king who, with
Iii. army marched down the hill which be had just
marched up Convinced that the grand humbug
of appropriating thirty Millions which We have MT
got, to bay Cuba, which Spain is determined not
to sell, was destined 10 defeat in Congress, aud to
ridicule every where else Dir. Slidel sOemnly with
drew the bill-Dof, however, withOu. notice that
be should present it again in the next Congress
The truth is, the authors of this humbug suffered
so much in the last debate upon it, that
it is not surpr0ing that they should
wish to haul of to repair damages. Some
new and strong points were made in that
last debate, and urged with great force. The
grand reason put forward on the part Of the Gill;
busters as sordng full excuse for the seizure Of
Cubs, Is its alleged importance to US in case Of q
war with any great MARITIME power. II lies, they
tell US, in the path Of commerce between the Gulf
Of Mexico and our Atlantic seaboard, not TO men
ton The commerce Of the Gulf with Europe, and
therefore ought TO Se and must be our, even
though we steal il. But so long az our army and
navy remain on their present footing or even we've
they increased ten fold, the possession Of Cuba, n
csse Of war with France or England, would e7i-
IDENTITY be most decided disadvantage to u.s. With
Cuba in the possession Of Spain, we might, IN ease
CT war, reasonably calculate upon her neutrality,
and Upsn such protection to oar commerce, pgrsued
by the cruisers of the enemy as the fifty harbors Of
Ctba would afford, and her coast, too, fos three
miles from the land. All this, too, we might have
without sny expenditure on our part to secure it.
This protection is about al we should &c. in case
Cuba actually belonged 10 us; but in that case, 70
enjoy tie protection Of the harbors only-sses
mere nesrness to tie hand would not protect US
we should be obliged to keep up great army
and navy in Cuba to guard it sgainst bein!
