Poisonous Mc0IcllleS.

VkSVAVuS NCOIC4ucSe
Tho theory that the virus Of diseases can
be safely counteracted by doses Of poison,
is false and da. gerous. Within the last
twenty-five years, not less than score Of
virulcut poisons have been added to the
repository of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately: but even
in minute quantities, they produce. ulti-
mately, very disastrous effects. 1t is I'M
wise and mnphilosophicai to employ. as
remedies, powerful and insilious drugs,
which, in suhjIgating one disease, SOW the
seeds Of another still more humans geable.
None Of these terrible medicaments ope.
rates with as much dircctness and certainty
upon the causes Of disease as Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, n tonic and corrective,
without single dels,erious ingredient in
its composition. Arsenic and quinia are
given for intcrmittents; bromide Of potas-
stun for nervous disorders; etrychninc
and prussic acid for general debility; mcr-
curry, In various forms, for liver complaint;
preparations Of chlorofOrm and opium for
sleeplessncss; and yet these deadly drugs
do not compare, rs specifics for the diseases
above enumerated, with that wholcs oms
vegetable invisorant and alternative, whiie
they arc all SO pernicious that il 10 aston
ishing any physician should take thc res
sponsibility Of prescribing them. Let in.
valids, for their own sakcs, try the Bitters
before they resort TO the poisons. Tho re
lief they vii! experience from course Of
the harmless specific, will read.ra recourse
to the unsafe preparations referred to, quite
unnecessary. 1921

A few days ago, on the Chicago &
N orth-western road, one OF those lazy
skalawags who sell prize packages
was beaten in happy manner. These
chaps sell everything in the prize
way at which gudgeons will consent
to bite. A new prize, styled the
"Grcat Northwestern Money Pack
age was carried around by an atfable
young Ounce and one dropped IN the
seat to young lady.
When lie returned he found she
had opened it and examined the con
tents, finding the Prize in that case
to be lime in silver. "Wcll,n said
young Laziness, "how do you like
the package?" at won't pay" was
the reply. "A dime tor fifty cents,
isn't fair exchange SIR" and the
package was handed back. when the
young gent began to blow pretty ex-
tensively, but sly grin from the Ia
dy, and shout from the passengers
sent the sponger off with a flea in
his ear.

pie. As twenty Citizens to one Re
PUBLICAN, circulases in Columbia
township, tho notice should have
been in the Citizen, and that was all
we said, and there was no occasion
tor the REPUBLICANS saying one
word, as we did not censure that pa
per at all nor blame the editor in the
least; he did just as we should have
done under the circumstances. A
number Of citizens OF Columbia
township, came to us. and told us
that the notice should have been in
serted in our paper, and as the peo-
pie would not be notified of the i'm
portant election, requested US to no
tify them and we did, but took the
liberty tostate that said notice should
have been in our paper instead OF the
REPUBLICAN,, which was the simple
truth.
Among number of homogeneous
subjects which tho editor of the Re
PUBLICAN drags IN, for what purpose
we know not, IS an assertion Of ours
that the Citizen had double the
amount of reading matter OF the Re-
PUBLICAN. Why did we make the
statement? Because the REPUBLICAN,
had repeatedly referred in a very I'm.
complimentary manner and unbroth-
erly way to the manner of conduct
ing our paper, unit! finally we made
the statement which was true then
and had heen for year or more--we
do not say it is true now.
The insinuations about the Tax
List and our great prosperity. are all
false in tact. We owe money which
we cannot even pay the interest on,
but what has that to do with the
right or wrong Of publishing the
notice OF an important election in
Columbia townsip,
We desire no controversy with
the REPUBLICAN,, we think it better
to work in harmony for the best
good of the county, State, and the
Republican party, rather than in
dulge in low filings, blackguardism.

New Thing in Fencing.

ship, has taken out patent on new
wrinkle IN fencing. He takes an oh
long piece Of iron and makes hole
in each end, at right angles to each
other, or bends piece of wire with
two holes bearing like relations to
each other. Through one Of these
holcs he inserts q screw and fastens
the iron or wire to tree OF post, and
through the other hole runs the wire
of which he makes his fence. When
the tree has grown 40 as to threaten
to overgrow the screw he draws the
screw out of danger, so continuing,
no matter how large the tree may
grow. This heconsiders d good idea,
many Of his neighbors agree with
him, many strangers, also, to whom he
has shown the model give testimony
of its value. Mr.. Sherman will soon
be prepared to put his new pate-t on
the market. He may be addressed
at Evergreen r. O., lama county

RELrGrous DOC FEsrlvAL.-On
Sunday last the Musquakies had their
regular yearly dog festival, and a
number of their white brethren
gathered around not, however, to
join in the festivities, but to witness
the gustatory enjoyment and relig
ious rites, and it is.thclr opinion that
the reds had dog oned good time.
Some twenty dogs had been slain
and cooked, and the green prair,cs
and beautifully carpeted groves were
not. just then, fragrant with flowers,
but with boiled dog. Some who
Witnessed the manner of cooking and
serving up-the gaping and swallow
ing-as down Went the huge canine
bits, tclt that it was 6eastiy feast,
and while turning away IN disgust,
called the Musquakics dirty dogs"
We have no Dog matte thoughts on
the subject, but we can readily be.
lieve what we have SO often read and
been told, that 1t is curr.lous how
much an Indian will manage to swal-
low on such an occasion.
When the men had eaten all the
could, the squaws gathered up the
fragments, and removing them from
the charmed circle, they and the pap
pooses, finished rp the job. Alter
the least the Musquakies had dance,
and the more agile cut many curious
antics, but there was no hilarity or
talk, for it was a religious festival,
and SO every red face was as solemn
as the grave, and the whites were
warned by many a suggestive shake
of the finger, not to make any noise
or disturbance, but by their demean-
or, manifest suitable regard OF re
spect Tor the solemn occasion. The
next is the green corn dance, which
may we be there to see.-lCitlzen,

placed on Route No. 1927, Toledo

this Office with your recommendation,

In July, 1870, Hon. Mr.. Tough
ridge asked that provision be made
for mail supply Of Wolf Creek, rec
ommending that it be embraced on
Route No. 1927, Toledo to Buck
ingham. An examination as to cx
pensc of doing this was made and it
was found that 1t would cost about
800 per annum additional, whereas
the yield OF that Office was not over
$50 per annum
1t was further found that Wolf
Greek could be embraced on Route
No. 1928, Buckingham to La Porte
City, at an additional expense OF but
S35 per annum, and it was decided
to embrace it on the last named
Ronte solely from motives OF econo-
my, and now no sufficient reason is
apparent for reversing the decision
then made and ordering a change
that would make the expense of sup
ply of an Office five times the yield
thereof.

We grieve to notice that the Citi-

addicted to puns and other jokes
We don't ask the Citizen to pay any
regard to any estimate the REpuDLI-
CAN may place upon the practice of
making puns. We quote an eminent
authority, whose sedateness and dig
nifty, both OF speech and action. emil
nen,ly qualify him Tor the task of
passing judgment on such insane at
tempts at wit We refer to Oliver
Wendell Holmes. Here is what he
says:
LITE and language are alike sa-
cred. Homicide, and rer5,cidc-that
is, violent treatment Of a word with
fatal results to its legitimate mean

meaning OF the one, is the same as
mans laughter, which is the end OF
the other. y pun is prima jacic an
insult to the person you are talking
with.
People Who make puns are like
wanton boys that put coppers on the
