The IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH-In point
of Importance, bodily health is second to
nothing earthly. Nay, modern French
philosopher has maintained, that to pursue
health bodily health, that ISIS the main
duty of man. This much, at any rate, is
certain, that, whether or not, the pursuit of
health be itself virtue, the attainment and
the possession of health conduce in a de-
gree most remarkable, if not to virtue, at
least to clearness of thought, to soundness
of judgement and general prudence Of con-
duct-which are commodities much more
marketable than virtue is. Now the two
great conditions of health are abundant

SKELETON FOUND.
The Disappearance Of Jacob Gels of
Stearns County Accounted For.

(St Cloud Journal, Sept. 10Y
Last Monday morning as small boy
named Gels was hunting his COW in the
woods about three miles from the viii
lage Of St. 10, he came upon the skele-
ton OF man. He at once informed his
father, who came for Coroner Overlook.
The Coroner and County Attorney
Brick went at ono. and held an inquest.
The skeleton was feshless, save on the
feet which we're protected by shoes.
But the clothing was recognized as that
of Jacob Gels, who had been at work
on the farm Of Peter Kramer, near by,
and who had suddenly disappeared July
25th. The readers of the Journal may
remember the account given last winter
of hostler at Cold Spring.
Jacob Gels, being kicked on the
head by horse. receiving a
terrible wound from which part Of the
brains escaped. The cut on the skull
assisted DR.. Macdonald, the surgeon
then in attendance on Gels, in identify
ing these remains. Since receiving that
injury, Gels has been partially der
anged at times. often expressing fears
that somebody intended killing him.
The search for him after his disappear
ance, July 25th. was unavailing, and
he probably persisted in the woods
soon after that date-some weeks ago.
A pop bottle lay beside him, and was
the only thing he had, SO far as could
be discovered. The verdict of the
Coroner's jury was that the deceased
came to his death ''by the visitation OF
God. in a natural way by exposure and
not otherwise He was about thirty
five years Of age; unmarried, and had
but one relative in this country. a
nephew. now in another State. The
remains were brought to this place and

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Very many Of our subscribers have
taken the ANTI. MoNofoLlsT with an un-
Outstanding that they wore to pay up
on the LIST of September. We would
respectfully remind them of the fact
and ask that they send in their money
before the issue Of our next number.
We. would also ask such of our
agents as have raised clubs, payable on
the LIST of September, to be good enough
to remit as soon as possible.
We would suggest that all moneys sent
US, be forwarded by postal order, draft,
check or by registered letters.
Our subscription list is increasing so
rapidly that we have been compelled to
resort to the patent process Of printing
the names Of our subscribers. The
figures after each subscribers name on
the margin of his paper, indicate the
time to which he has paid:-thus. John
Jones. Oct. Is, 1874" signifies that
John has paid up to that date. If no
date is given, it indicates that John is
in arrears, and he should hurry to pay
up: for we have high authority for the
declaration, that
'"lelinquents on the printers books,
viii never enter heaven"
1t is very probable that mistakes
have been made. If so, we want our
friends to write US and we will correct
them. Our agents who have raised
clubs, are requested to indicate to whom
they will have their presentation copy
sent.
We again beg leave to express our
thanks for the unprecedented success
which the generosity of the people has
given us. We will labor to deserve it.

to take in hand the monstrous schisms

No one will doubt that there are such
men, who can be prevailed upon to ac-
cept these positions, men who will not

they have permitted themselves to be
placed in such an abject and se1v.le
condition, through the instrument

clans, that it seems almost impossible
for them to sander their shacklcs, and
proclaim themselves free men; and now
that they are about making the effort
to do so, howl goes up, from Office
holders and place-hmters, all over the
land, ''Down with the people, gag the

WRIGHT COUNTY AFFAIRS.
A Temperance 'Reformcr mt Work

ROCKFORD, MIMI, Sept Il, 1874.

Of September
The farmers;and others are making
arrangements for big time; with
trotting and race course and all the
fixings for a modern Fair. Asst is the
heart of the Big Woods, look oat for
big show of vegetables, cereals and
fruits.
The hum Of the threshing machine
is heard in every direction; taut the
yield of wheat is rot quite up to last
year and the prizes being somewhat
lower, the agriculruralist does not con.
template with unlimited satisfaction the
products ofhis bread acres. If It was
not for Bill King circulating through
the country and anddistributing green
backs, times would leok rather dark.
In many instances in this vicinity his
contributions will make up for loans
through short crops and low prices.
But his favors are not, IN all cases, dis
tributed equally. For instance, he
gives hard-shelled, sober, well-te~do
Democrat fifty dollars, when in the
same neigh borhood he gives a blatant
Republican only twenty-five dollars !!
But we suppose that this has soms-
thing to do with the Opposition District
Convention. The Republican Conven-
ton is safe, but the Opposition is not
quite sure yet, although Bib has got a
warranty deed of Colonel
Stevens and also Of the Farmer s
Uaion, and most of the prominent
Democrats Of Minneapolis. We think
it will cost him more money than he
made in his whisky speculation to
get bond for deed Of the Anti-Mon.
