STARVATION IN MINNESOTA.
APPEAL TO THE CHANGERS, AND OTHERS, b
GOVERNOR DAVIS.

APPEAL TO THE CHANGERS, AND OTHERS, BY
GOVERNOR DAVIS.
ST. PAUL, MINI, July 2.-Governor Davis
to-day issued circular to the grangers in
this state in which he says: 81 am COM
PEELED to ask the cooperation of each
grange of your powerful organization in
relieving the ..destitution of our fellow
citizens in the southwestern counties. That
region has been traversed by trustworthy
men and they report unanimously desti-
tuition which has no parallel in our history
as a state. The time for silence as to
this condition of affairs has passed by, and
the time for prompt and liberal action
by all who are willing to do as
they would be done by has arrived. The
counties of Martin, Murray, Jackson, Cot
tonwood, portions of Noble and Wantowan,
and possibly, TO some exent, other commu-
mites, have been swept by grasshoppers
Of all the crops as completely as if by
fire. Women and children are
suffering for food. The implements and
stock of the settlers are under mortgage
given to tide over the privations of last year.
l have told the people that their fellow-citi-
zens, whom kind providence has blessed
with abundance, will stand by them in
this their dire extremity. Contributions
i'm money are most desirable. Provisions
and clothing scarcely less so. Send contri-
buttons to General ii. III. Sibley, st. Paul,
Minnesota" Although the Governor has
not asked for assistance from outside the
State, contributions of the benevolent, adj
dressed as above, will be gratefully received,
and will be sure to aid in relieving the dis
tress of the people suffering for food from no
fault of their own.

Ali wherefore do we laugh or weep!
Why do we live or die?

Alas; not II
Why doth the violet spring
Unseen by human eye?
Why do the radiant seasons bring

Why do our fond hearts cling

We fight-and ny;
We love; we lose; and then, ere long,
Stone dead we lie:

THE SkEPTICAL CONVINCED. Every

THE SKEPTICAL CONyINCED.-Eyery
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulitv can
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When DR.. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an Elixir that would
regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Res Orative
of the Western World. The truth could
not be resisted Under the operation Of
the new remedy Dyspeptics regained
their health, appetite and strength, the
Bilious and COnStipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom; the Con
sumptive and Rheumatic rapidly recOv-
cred; intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint Of Scrofula
was eradicated! Who could gainsay
facts like these? Not even the Faculty
Skepticism was routed. All doubts as
to the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenced and this wonderful
preparation is today the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists we are free to
add our testimony to this remedy. 1t is
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.

THE heat of Summer, as well as the sudden
changes of temperature incident to Autumn
coupled with the use of unripe vegetables
and fruits and other UnWhOlesOme articles Of
food, result every season in producing much
suffering from Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera
MOrbus, Collie and other arrangements of the
stomach and bowels. \ remedy that will
promptly relieve these sUtferings and restore
tone and normal action to the relaxed and de-
bilitated alimentary canal is surely 4 boon to
the afflicted. DR.. r. V. Pierce, whose Family
Medicines have acquired a worldwide repu-
tatiOn, by long study and careful chemical eX-
perimentS has succeeded in extracting, By a
cold process, from Smart Weed, or Water
Pepper, that modest little plant seen ia wet
grounds by the roadside and III neglected
grounds and pasture-tields, a remedial princi-
pie which, when sllillfully combined with the
extract Of Jamaica Ginger and other pleasant
modifying agents, in what he calls his Com
pound Extract of Smart-Weed, forms most
reliable specific for all such arrangements
and sutferingS. 1t is pleasant and safe to
take, yet powerful to cure. Its wonderful
efficacy is further confirmation of the Doc
tors idea that God has caused to grow, in
plants best calculated for the cure of the dis
eases that prevail in the section of country
where those plants are fOund-that the
leaves were for the healing of the nations, y
and that the fewer far-fetched remedies we
employ the better, if we would thoroughly in
yestigate and understand those we have at
home. The Doctors Extract of Smart-Wecd
is sold by druggists generally.

AN instance of astonishing GOODNESS
considering the season. occurred on a
street car in Detroit the other day. A
cOnfiding woman handed a two-dollar
bill to man near her that he might pass
It to the driver, pay her fare and receive
the change. He calmly folded up the
bill, put it in his vest pocket, and walked
out of the vehicle. The poor lady was
so astonished as to lose the power Of
speech until it was too late TO raise an
alarm. Suchis the presence of mind in
a man and the want of it in woman.
