Inc iactS IN thus case are that Rev. SIMON

fin, having subscribed for the TRIBUyE, re-
moved to Belvdere, an, instructed Mr.
Bliss to send the paper there. This was
done for two or three years by Mr..
BLISS, and continued bv us until the recent
of the above letter. This letter shows con.
clusively that Mr. w. HAw has all the while
been receiving and using the paper bear
ing the address of another man, to which
he had no earthly right, and he therefore
stands convicted of swindling to the amount
due for subscription which he refuses to
pay. Hereafter when subscribers play us
scaly tricks of this kind we shall make a
public mention Of it, giving their names

A WoRD.-A Committee is now at work
soliciting subscriptions of stock and donations
for the Rail Road from Toledo to Tama City.
On the value of this read it seems hardly
necessary to speak. Its benefits can scarcely
be computed. We do not now refer to its
benefits to Toledo, but to the country around
US, to the farmers who have grain and stock
to sell, and lumber and farming machinery
to buy. Toledo and Tama City will enter
into competition for the purchase of all those
products which the farmer has to sell, thus
ensuring to him the very highest market
price; and for the sale Of all those necsssaries
for household and farm use, which the farm
er has to buy, thas securing their purchase
by the farmer at the very lowest price. Now
there is no competition. With this road
built there will be the liveliest competition
which will necessarily inure to the benefit Of
the farming class. 1t will also shorten the
distance to be travelled in going to and re-
turning from market We hope there is no
farmer or other owner af real estate within
ten miles north, cast or west Of Toledo, who
will refuse to give some aid to this enterprise.
There is no man who will not be benefited,
and all should pay something for such ben>
efts.

commence the publication OF their pro
ceedings next week.
Among other things OF interest
done by the Board, they resolved to
levy tax, at the September term, of
one and a half mills to the dollar for
the purpose of building Jail; abol.

My old friend, J. I Rice, has started the
"hinn county liawkeyc at Mt Vernon. Rice
is one Of those crooked sort Of chaps who

Agency on The N. W. X. r., neither does he
edit a paper but verify believe Phillips
after convincing the Whole world that he was
in the right, would whrl around and tell
the world it was wrong. That's somewhat
the way with Rice. He likes to stir folks up
and create currcn, in tire stagnant waters.
We need just such folks--they keep one on

Vas IT RiGmr?-Philip IIofelter is an old
man from beyond the Big waters, aged nearly
sixty years, and without relative in Amer
lea On the Sth Of this month he had the mis-
fortune to fracture the hum erous bone close
to the sholder joint As he is very INDECENT
and unable to pay for all, application was
made to the Trustees Of Toledo Township for
assistance, but they, on inspection, decided
that only some liniment was needed Nearly
the same response was made to an application
to the Committee on the poor, of the Board Of
Supervisors. The old man applied to Dr.
Badly for assistance, who with DR.. Rogers
dressed the injured part without charge.
We saw the old man and the injury was ap
parent to us, and We DO not see how the Trus
tees and Poor Committee could fail to des-
Germ the same. We fear the officers are Its
tie too economical sometimes.

Tho plug vulgarly so called, shows
signs of life. Last Monday evening
large meeting was held at the Court
House, to consider this subject. w.

Guilford, all OF whom took strong
grounds in favor of the immediate
prosecution of the enterprise.
1t did not require any speeches to
awaken the audience to a sense OF their
duty, for they appreciated it already,
and when an opportunity was given,
after the speeches, $500 was pledged
in stock and s2,s25 in donations.
As but twenty thousand dollars will
be needed to build the road to Tama
City, it will be seen that more than a
half of the necessary amount was
raised the first evening
Before the adjournment on Monday
evening a committee, consisting Of w.
II. Stivers, L. Clark and G. r. Struble,
was appointed to draw up articles OF
Association and Subscription papers
and to report on Tuesday evening.
On Tuesday evening the meeting
again convened at the same place and
with the same officers, when the Com

The meeting then proceeded to sign
the Stock and Subscription papers.

POLICE REpoRTs.-John Roof and Stod-

Justice Fisher, last Thursday. Roof was re-
leased, there being no proof against him. He
made statement Of his connection with the

CAPruREp.-That Jos. Wilson who escaped
from Sheriff Dexter week ago Sunday has
returned-per force. It seems that a goodly
share Of the plumber which he had been ac~
cumulating was left at Belle Plaine in the
hands Of some Of his "pals'' whose integrity
he had some reason Of suspecting, and so,
after his miraculous escape from the jaws of
death that fated Sunday, he went back to
Belle PLANE to look after his interests, there.
He was there seen, recognized and arrested.
The Sheriff is now giving him strict atten-
ton, sticking to him 'closer than brother

She was taken with fever more than four

was per formed upon her, taking five pints
Of matter from her chest, and the orifce was
permitted TO discharge twice day until her
death There was about pint at each dis
charge at first, but reduced to a small amount
before her death. During all her Affections
she never murmured or complained, but gave
evidence Of piety and conversed with pleasure
about death and her home in heaven with the
Saviour. Her last hours were peaceful and
happy. She gave full assurance Of her CON-

A Mystery.
1t is mystery to most people how
combination OF medicines put up un-
der one name can have sufficient cura-
tive powers to cure so many different
diseases, and often the very best OF rem
edies are discarded or branded as
humbugs because they are recon-
mended to cure SO many complaints
This nomenclature OF diseases would
seem to imply some essential difference
between the diseases thus distin-
guished, whereas, they are really one
and the same disease, merely differing
by the amount of inflammation or irri
tation in one organ rather than the
other. For instance, from torpid
state OF the Liver we have Jaundice,
Nervous and Sick Headache Bilious
Fever, Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague,
Constipation, Neuralgia, and innumer-
able complaints under high sounding
names, all arising from a lisordered
state OF the Liver. Hence, we say,
lnvigorate that important organ;
purge out the vilc accumulation with
Roback's Blood Pills, and once re.
stored to yigor, take Roback's Blood
Purifier or Stomach Bittcrs to keep it
performing its regular functions, aud
you will be no longer troubled with
these many ailments. [24wl
