ATLANTA. Ill, July ii, 1873
DIR. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, Y. Y:
Dear Sri have not words to express
my gratitude to you for your advise and as
sistance in my case. There is not one who
has used your medicines since they have
been brought here but that can say with
me they have been greatly benefited.
Since | have been so helped by its use six
or seven around me left off all doctors and
other medicines, and now use it in their
families, after being cured of the same
disease as mine. You do not know what a
wonder it created in our city, by its restor-
ing my sister | wrote you about, for she
had been under the care of three of our
best doctors but could not sit up but for a
few minutes at one time | begged of her
to try your medicines, and before she had
used half of the bottles she could go all
around the yard, and has now just come
from visit five miles away

Janesvllle Favors the Fox River Route.

Gov Taylor, the Farmer Governor of
Wisconsin, took the broad view of the
Rock Island convention, j e., that it was in
the interest of cheap transportation, and
he wrote letters to various parties, urging
them to attend the convention Among
them was the following:
MADISON, March 1S.-To Hon. ALEX.
GRAHAM, GAINESVILLE "A transportation
convention is to be held at Rock Island,
Ill. ,on the oath day of March, 1874, to con-
suit as to more efficient means to secure
cheap transportation from the Mississippi
river to the Atlantic seaboard Large del
egations are expected from Iowa, Mime
sofa and Illinois, and it is especially desir-
able that Wisconsin be properly represent
ed. No provision, however, has been
made for appointing or defraying the ex-
penses of delegates, it being taken for
granted in the call that the different farm
ers' associations, boards of trade and COM
merce, and manufacturing clubs would
make such provisions. But at present adj
vices, no action III that direction has been
taken by any OF these organizations in this
State. LII, under these circumstances, you
could attend the convention as one of the
delegates from this State, without serious
ly affecting your other engagements,
should be highly gratifed, and you may
consider this communication your appoint
ment for that purpose. Very respectfully,
yours, W. r. TAYLOR.
The people of GAINESVILLE held a public
meeting on the receipt of this letter, de-
clared their opposition to the Hennepin
route, expressed preference for the i'm
provement of Rock river to Lake Horizon,
by slack-water navigation and canal, and
thence through Lake Winnebago, Fox riv.
er and Green Bay, round the Lakes
and adopted the following:
- Resot9ed, That the proposed Rock Island and
Hennepln canal, in the State Of illinois, is adverse
to the city OF GAINESVILLE, and in onr oninion the
state OF Wisconsin, and that this NEE nr will nut
appoint delegates to attend the cheap
convention to be held In Rock Island on ths s4tb
| inst.
And then they appointed committee to
draft a resolution to be forwarded to
the Wisconsin delegation in Con-
gress, opposing the tapping of Rock
river at Dixon, for the purpose of feeding
the Rock Island and Hennepin canal, but
tavorinc the Improvement of Rock river
iron GAINESVILLE to the Mississippi river.

was at last cried down, and the resolutions
were sevarally adopted by an overwhelm-

sharply debated but finally passed. The
discussion, in its wide range, proved the
convention to be made of plucky stuff,
which will eventually build this canal.

The Charlie Ross Abduction.

Many OF the Philadelphia and other
Eastern papers are, with a very good
showing Of reason. asking whether the
sensational story about the abduction Of
little Charlie Ross is not considerable Of
a humbug. A resume OF the a $ in
the New York Herald shows many weak
points:
The child disappeared. II Is claimed,
on the LIST Of July. With the exception
Of two brief kilograms Of inquiry, moth
ing was communicated to the police I'M
til the Sd. The father gave two descrip-
tons OF his child-one as wearing light
linen slip and pants and straw hat;
again as dressed in q brown linen suit,
| short skirt and unbleached Panama hat.
On the ith Of July Mr.. Ross said that
| his wife was so i'll that he dill not dare
to ask her for a description Of the boy,
when in fact she was bathing in Atlantic
City. Not oncs did he visit the man
Wooster, who was arrested on suspicion
Of being the kidnappsr. 1t was twenty
two days after the alleged abduction
that the minute description Of the men.
their horse and vehicle, wa furnished
to the authorities. Another peculiarly
10, that the threatening letter Mr.. Ross
says he received, stating that unless the
$4,000 was forthcoming, the child
would receive injuries that would dis
figure him for life, has not been seen by
any one but the father. A correspond
ent Of the New York Herald asserts that
the whole affair is q fraud. the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Ross being to excite SYM
pathy, and by its aid raise the required
S20, 900. as soon as ii was secured the
child be returned, and the father be
$50, 900 ahead. How true this may be,
Of course cannot now be ascertained.
but the delay and the p~revaricating
statements made by the father form
good ground, apparently, upon which to
found . disbelief that the crime alleged
has been committed.
