Some three-card monte birds relieved

and ignorance.
"A large party of Germans from Still.
water came down to this city last Sunday
on the Osceola. They had brass and
string band on board. They danced all the
way down, danced at the landing, and
danced all the way back
1t is supposed the three-card monte
men alighted from the train on Monday

In the Hutchinson Enterprise for this
week we notice lengthy editorial in which
R. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, proprietor
Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, receives a
justly merited arraignment. We have suf-
fered with catarrh for many years and
once we tried Sage's Remedy-three bot
tles-and when the last bottle was finished
our disease was worse than when we began
the treatment. Give it to him, Henderson.
If ever there was swindle it is the medi-
cine in question. In our opinion Pierce is
a diabolical william and deserves hanging.
The learned (?) DR.. O'Leary still holds
forth at Music Hail. We like to hear him
talk because he tells good story and occa-
sionally throws in little sound advise.
But as for consulting him at his rooms and
being bled to the tune of-well ask him
how many dollars-examination fee, just
excuse US. How people can patronize
every travelling quack, when we have the
very best of home physicians in their midst,
is a mystery to US.
The Methodist society of Lake City
and their friends went on an excursion
Friday and Saturday Of last week to the
Dalles of the St. Croix, and return. About
one hundred men, women and children, in
cluding those pretty girls, Frank Wilson,
Sam. Bell and ourselves, attended. We
have been on numerous excursions but new
er enjoyed ourselves so hugely before ;
everything went of pleasantly. The net
profits were about $50. Our original in
tention was to write up descriptive nara
tive Of this most enjoyable occasion, but
space forbids.
On Monday last three fellows were
swimming in the river near the bay, when
one Of them offered to bet another $500
that he could not swim across the bay.
The bet was accepted and stakes placed in
\ the hands of the third man. The verdant
gambler proceeded to win the stakes, and
safely reached the further shore, where he
halted to take look Of triumph upon the
discounted man on the other side. But
alas the proud look Of triumph was Of short
duration. He barely caught glimpse OF
the retiring forms Of his cronies. who were
dressed and beating hasty retreat. The
:swimmest made better time back across the
bay than he did on the first trip. Upon ar
irving on this side he found not only his
five dollars gone, but $65 that a short time
before lined his breeches pocket was also
gone.
We, some time since, noticed the
change about to be made in the place Of
business Of the enterprising hardware firm
of Nelson Peterson, Of this city. The
