A Card to the American Public

For many years we have made two med
ieiues suited to the ailments ofa vast class
OF sufferers. Thousands of cures haze been
made by them, and in fact, the word failure
could never be coupled with them- But
within the last two years cOunterfeits of our
medicines have sprung up, dangerous IN Inelr
close imitation of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each genuine
box of HOllOway's Pills and HOllOway's ONT
ment the fac simile of the signature OF our
Agent Mr. Jos. HaydOck. To counterfeit
this is felony We shall relentlessly pursue
any one who initiates this with the utmost
vigOr OF the law. We most earnestly peg
will aid us in our efforts to protect their
health. and help US in our task Of bringing
these most unprincipled men to the par OF
Justice. Unto rmly refuse to purchase Medi-
ctnes purpOrting to be ours unless Mr.. JOSS
] JTaydoclS's signature is attached to each box
OF pills orPnt OF Ointment and the end will
soon be reached.

THE President is reported to
have said in reference to the river
and harbor bill, that it made little
difference whether the house or
senate bill should be finally adopted,
as he had fully made up his mind to
veto the measure, no matter in what
shape presented for his signature.
1t was absurd, said the President,
to pass a bill to improve rivers and
harbors at this late day in the sum
mer. The first of September would
arrive before the engineer corps
could use any part OF the appropri-
alton, and very little could be ac-
complished this year. For this, and
the reason that many of the appro-
priations in the bill are of local in
stead of national importance, the
President said he had decided TO
veto the bill when presented to him

THE refusal of the House to sus-
pend the rules and take up the Sen
ate bill to extend the time for the
completion Of the Northern Pacific
railroad, says the Pioneer-Press and
Tribune, is not necessarily signif-
cant of the opposition of that body
to the measure. The Pacific rail
I'd committee, composed Of eleven
members, and epresenting all sec
tons and interests, has made a
unanimous favorable report, and
while a large majority of the
body Of the House recognize the
perfect justice Of the legislation
asked, and if forced to a vote upon
the question at any time will vote
in its favor, still, il view Of the
present public opposition to any
thing which can possibly be CON
strued as in any manner eXtendir 9
government aid to corporations, it
is possible the bill may be permitted
to await action until the next ses-
sion of Congress.N

whose improved hydraulic dredge.
recently introduced, is declared by
the scientific press to be the most
ingenious and important machine
for the purpose ever yet conceived,
and destined to effect an entire rev,
olution in this kind of work.
The amountof execution Of which
this powerful machine is capable
,jud ging from the statements ot
contractors and others now en-
ploying it-eAeeeds, it would ap-
pear, as does also its speed, thor
oughness and economy of execu-
ton, even the dredging apparatus
employed by NJ. Lesseps in his OPP
erations upon the famous Sue2
canal, and is therefore pro badly the
most formidable am, efficient r.
rangement that can probably be
constructed by mo, RI engineering
skill, for deepening harbors and
channels aud improving navigation,
etc. Thus, in its application to the
Lake Shore drive, near Lincoln
Park, Chicago, this dredge elevates
and discharges in ten hours the
enormous quantity of between six
and seven hundred thousalii . b c
feet Of water an,, - material
this being bv no means its maxi
mum capability. The admirable
system OF hyoro-propulsion charac-
terizing this dredge for propelling
itself by the reaction of the water,
without increased expense of con-
struction, thus avoiding all cost of
towage for any purpose, renders it
a complete self-moving machine.
Should the experience of time
and practical work confirm the pres
ent bright expectations of the ma
chine, Mr.. Newton's name will take
rank among the leading inventors
of the age and deserved honors and
profit " i'll fall upon him, at which
good fortune there will be no great

Improvement in Dredging Machines
The Valuable Invention of Col.
W. II. Newton, an Old Superiorite.

1t is well known that large sums
have at different times been offered
by scientific associations in Europe
for the production of hydraulic
drci capable of executing ad-
vantageously those pIu gious pro-
jects of marine engineering now so
frequent, and which require means
more commensurate to their vast
ness than any ordinarily in use.
Singularly enough the honor of
having realized this great desidera-
tum appears to have fallen to an
American inventor, a former citizen
of Superior, one who in fact may be
called the father Of our town, hav-
ing been its prime originator and
the agent for its first proprietors
