TO THE HON. JAS. A: YOUNG,

SIR:--The citizens of Mahaska county consti-
tuting Garden Hall Grange, No. 548, of the Pat
rons of Husbandry, mindful Of the rights and
dignity of the people of this county, an d. of the
duties Of their public servants, invite your at
tention to, and consideration of the following
facts, to-wit: That at the last election Tor Rep.
resentatives, the people of this county, repoeiRg
confidence in your honesty and integrity; be-
lieving you 10 be identified with them and their
interests, and being confirmed in that belief by
direct representations. and uns olicited pledges
upon your part, Of faithfulness to them, and
their interests generally; and particularly to use
your votes and influence to obtain the passage
by the legislature Of just and wholesome law,
regulating railroad tariffs, elected you to repre-
sent them in the State Senate And that you,
when the time for action arrived, foreetful alike
of the rights of your constituents and your obi
ga tions to truth and honesty; ungrateful for the
favors so lavishly bestowed on you by the people
of this county through q long series Of years /;
yielding as they believe, to the insidious smiles
of iattery, or to the more potent argument of
mammon, did basely betray their interests and,
that so far from laboring to tighten the burdens
that weigh down your constituency, You have
shown disposition by your public acts, to rivet
more securely upon them the chains forged by
extortiOnary railroad monopolies.
In view OF the facts, we cannot Withhold the Just
sentence,-"T hast been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting, wanting in the fulfill
ing the most sacred promises, wanting In the re-
deeming the most sacred pledges. wanting in
that purity OF heart, and honesty Of purpose,
that makes q man, man.
Although there 10 no way by which those short
comings may be fully repaired. yet there 10 one
method by which they may be mitigated; and
which we sincerely hope you will avail yourself
Of and that 10, by resigning into the hands OF an
abused and indignant constituency, the sacred
trust, yon 30 unworthily hold; and this we COR
daily invite you 10 do.
The above petition was unanimously adopted
in Grange April 9th, 1873. and copy ordered to
be sent to the WEEKLY OsKALOOsA HERALD, for
Young.

lock aw, palsy, sprains swellings, caked breasts,
scads, burns, salt rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the
human frame, and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C.,
upon animals IN one year than have all other pre-
tended remedies since the world began. 1t is a
counter-irritant, an all healing pain reliever.-

DEcEAsED.-Tbe following which clip
from the Nemeha Valley Journal, publish
ed at Falls City, Nebraska, will be read by
many readers OF the HERALD with pro-
found regret:
"Mrs. Wood, wife of Rev. A. T.
L. Wood OF this city, was taken i'll one
week ago. and on last Tuesday evening
died of pneumonia. She leaves several
children to mourn her irreparable loss. At
ter she had become conscious that death
was fastening itself upon her, she called her

their future, and even her own burial. Mrs.
Wood always seemed to be christian oil
more than usual example. Mr.. Wood was
absent attending meeting of the Presby-
terry at Beatrice when his wife was taken
sick, and had not yet arrived when she
died. 1t Is severe blow to the family, but
will be the more so to him on account OF
his absence during her sickness"
Her death must have occurred on
the 10Th inst, as the paper contain
ing the notice was dated the 18th.
Having been well acquainted with the
deceased ever since her marriage with Mr..
Wood, which took place in year 1S49,
feel perfectly free to speak of her many
virtues as citizen and christian. She was
one of those kind, cheerful, christian wo-
men who always bring ray of sunshine
with them when they come into our pres
ence; and this was eminently true of her
in the sick room as know from long ex.
perienee in my own family. The notice of
her death brought with it her XII ndness in
the past, and the narrowing thought of
what will become of her deeply afflicted
husband and motherless children, in the
future of this life She was a most devoted
wife and kind, indulgent christian moth.

Wood is Presby terian minister, and was
connected with the Olivet church, in Scott
Tp., in this county, for several years; so
that the deceased was pretty we'll known
in that region, as well as in other portions
of the county, feel confident that many
hearts in that section will deeply sympa

God for sustaining Grace to support them
in their bereavement. Mr. Wood had not
reached home on Thursday morning sue

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

evening last week, as he was coming out
of Chicago, in manner detailed by him.
SELF as follows: After passing the Six
teenth street crossing, another stockman-
Mr.. Chick, of Oskaloosa, Iowa-and my.
self attempted to 60 back into the sleeping
car. After passing through two cars, and
and as we were approaching the door of
the third car, two men standing there said
the door was locked. Just then the train
halted at another place, and four men
jumped on the platform behind US and
crowded US exceedingly almost throwing
us off the cars. The train started up
quickly, and they jumped from the train.
They robbed me OF $500 The door was
not locked. The two first mentioned men
were holding it, and the others were no
doubt associates"

osKALooSA PRODUCE MARKET.
THE MARKETS..

chicago, April 20.
The demand for money continues urgent,
and bankers generally report the market
extremely close, and parties who are able
to present first-class papers are about the
only ones who are successful in obtaining
all the accommodations they desire. The
principal inquiry is from parties who de-
sire to carry grain forward, particularly
wheat, though the wholesale trade and
lumber dealers are making some inquiries.
The receipts of currency frsm the country
are fair, and the shipments light. The
movement of currency East, in order to
maintain balances, accounts in great
measure for the present stringency in the
money market.
The sudden advance in mess pork dur
ing the past week is attributed to COM
bination in Cincinnati, with the assistance
of one or two parties here. 1t is surmised
that "eorner" may be established in
June options. At the close no pork was
offered at the extreme outside figures.

DIR. Do LEWIS gives the following SEN
sible directions for the comfort of infants
that will make some old fogies' eyes stick
out: at is very doubtful if there is sim
gle possible disease In which the patient
should not have cold water ad hJitum. Oh
how often babies suffer for cold water. A
nursing baby is given no matter how
thirsty, nothing but milk. The little lips
are dry and cracked and the little tongue
80 parched it can scarcely nurse, and yet
it has nothing but milk to sssuage its crav-
ing thirst. Try it yourself, mother, when
you have fever, and we are sure that ev-
er after, when your darling is dying with
thirst, the teaspoon and the tumbler of
cold water will be in constant use. Deny
it milk and give it plenty Of cold water,
and it has speedy chance of recovery"

gathered quite number of relics, carrying
them thousands of miles, and have added
to them as We could. Many of our readers
occasionally come across things that would
add to the attractions of such collection if
they would take the trouble to save them
Anything of mineral, animal or vegetable

thankfully received. The coal banks

collection. Save them.
