PLAIN HOME TALK AND MEDICAL Com
MON SENsE-This is curious and re-
markable work, not simply guide to
health, comfort, and human happiness,
but furnishing just that kind of informa-
ton with regard to the human system,
and social natures, most essential for all
to understand, and yet possessed by SO
few. The subjects are treated in man
ner at once so able, delicate, original and
pungent, that while il can give no Of
Tense, it cannot fail to attract and engage
ALL In fact, the reader will find this
book more intensely entertaining than the
most exciting romance. There never has
been work of similar nature printed.
The work is too valuable to be for a mo-
ment compared to dollars and cents 1t
has been written in a spirit of earnest de-
sire to accomplish good, and we feel con-
fident this desire will be realized.
Let this book be taken and read by old
and young, no matter in what condition
of life let it be read with on appreciation
of the spirit in which it was written, and
let its teachings be respected by practice
and a generation or two hence will pre-
sent to the world such men and woman
as we have hardly known in this nine
teenth century.
As a guaranty that this work is des
tined to have an immense sale, perhaps
unprecedented in the history of books a
former work by the same author reached
the enormous sale of 100000 copies.
d. J. Smith, the agent, is now canvass
ing our town for the work, and Will re
main two or three weeks.

GUIDE AND GAzETTEER-Mr. Wolf, of
Dubuque, will in the course of a few
weeks, publish work with the above
title. 1t will contain Historical Sketches,
Statistical Descriptions, and complete
Business Directory of every city, town
and station lying along the Iowa Division
Of the Illinois Central, Dubuque South
Western, Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Minnesota, Central Railroad of Iowa, and
Sioux City & Pacific Roads; also lists of
City and County Officers, Churches,
Schools, Literary and Benevolent Associ-
atons, Public Institutions, and variety
of useful miscellaneous information, max
ing valuable work for reference, both
to tourists, citizens and emigrants.
Following the history of each town will
be classified Directory, which will ex
hibit every branch of trade, showing the
Merchants, Manufacturers and the differ
professions of each.
As the work will be the result of actual
canvass, by experienced hands, it is ex-
pected to be correct and reliable in every
particular
L. w. Wolf the agent for this work, is
in town and will remain for several days,
and call upon our business men.

SINS GIFT ENTERpRIsE.-We have re
ceived letter from G. W. Kantz, Secre
tary of the Sims Gift Enterprise, stating
why the drawing has been postponed to
the list of April Mr.. Kantz says:
81 think the time will be extended to
the first Monday in April, by request Of
ticket holders; and another reason is this
We have sold tickets enough to clear all
the Indebtedness, hut should we let the
drawing come off the list of March, Mr.
Sims would not have dollar for all his
property. Ticket holders claim that We
should sell every ticket to give the old
man start again in the world. do not
think there is ticket holder so hard
hearted as to refuse Mr.. Sims four weeks
more time. He is man SO years of age
and has worked hard all his lifetime to
accumulate what he has got.

A man in Cedar Rapids went home
drunk, Monday evening, and commenced
throwing axes, hatchets, chairs and other
little trinkets, at his wife who became
frightened and began to yell "mur-
der" A neighbor hearing the alarm
rushed in and supposing the fellow to be
in earnest, pulled out a pistol and shot
him, the ball entering little above the
hip and coming out at tie back. 1t will
not prove fatal. Almost pity.

PoUNDED.-Last evening many of our
citizens, big and little, old and young,
regardless of the rules OF pro-
priety and the wishes of the family,
invaded the residence of Rev. Mr. Hun
ter, and began throwing pound packages
at him and family; dropping them on
the floor, on the beds, on the windows.
and, in fact, every place they could find,
package was left 1t was the agree
ment among the Founders that their
packages should weigh pound, but from
what we can learn, many OF them were
near one hundred. Strange to say none
of the family were in the least injured
and Mr.. Hunter expects to be able next
Sunday to thank the good One who
prompts the hearts Of his friends to serve
him thus.
