play of "a Crown of Thorns," was
made Oh the evening of the 9th inst.

times before the curtain, and wal
additionally complimented by the
presentation of a pyramid of flowers

a testimonial of good feeling and
warm and hearty welcome, her stage

critics seem to be inclined to say thai
in other respects it was not.

A Coon Work - MORE HELP
NEEDED.-Almost Immediately after
the fearful accident Of Tuesday, Mayor
Landt appeared upon a wagon and
announced in the crowded street
that subscriptions for the benefit Of
The injured man, Mr.. Frank Clark,
would be received. The response
was willing, from the five dollar bi lis
Of some of the citizens to Fourth Of
July quarters from the boys. About
two hundred dollars were at once
paid in, which was deposited with
Mr.. l.. d. Ingman, to whom any un.
collected pledges may be paid. This
IS good as far as it goes; but as is
we'll known in this community, Mrs.
Clark, the mother, in every way a
worthy and industrious woman, has
been since the death by violence of
her husband, dependant upon her
needle and what help Frank could
give her for the support OF herself
and small children. Now, Of course,
in addition to the great expense in
cident to such situation, her work
must stop and her time for months
be occupied at the bedside of her
wounded boy. Let then the good
work commenced above not stop
there. Small amounts from many
persons will soon put five hundred
dollars into the hands of Mr.. Ingman
to be used as reeded-and the need
is so urgent that this community can
hardly fail to respond promptly
Further subscriptions will be receiv-

10 adams &c French Harvester


Company
GENTLEMEN This is to certify
that I have this day thoroughly
tested the Adams & French Harvester
which purchased of your agents Geo.
d. Evans & Son at Clarence, Iowa, in
grain that was as badly lodged as any
could possibly be. The machine sur
passed my expectation in every particu-
lar. Your agent was present and man
aged the machine. He first cut in oats
that were lodged flat to the ground, and
1t cut and elevated far better than l
thought it possibly could. Mr.. Evans
then took it into wheat, part OF which
stood up, while other parts was hardly
lodged and tangled, he cut on all sides
of the field, doing good work, cutting
and elevating tho grain when it was
lodged directly from the sickle. He al
SO gave the machine thorough test IN
heavy green weeds, and the machine
cut and elevated the weeds as easily as
grain. l am thoroughly convinced the
machine will cut and elevate any grain
that grows. Some of my neighbors
were in the field during the trial Of the
machine who are used to the working
of other harvesters, and all agree with
me that the Adams s. French Harvester
will cut and elevate grain that the other
Harvesters will not. As q cutting and
elevating machine, yours is success
and one that can cheerfully recon
mend to all my neighbors. Yours,
4,sras J. II McCKosKEy.

GREAT TRIAL OF MOWERS AT
Observation-Disclosures, June
2S.-The official trials of moving ma
chimes in connection with the Cen
,ennial have been taking place at
Eddington, station some fifteen
miles from here, during the past two
days. The tests have been made
under control Of the Jury, of which
Mr.. Coleman, the British Commits
sioner, is the head. A large number
of the prominent moving machines
Of American manufacture have been
allowed to give practical exercise of
their capacity and powers. The tests
proved quite severe in several re-
spec,s. The Jury ordered a heavy
roller to be drawn over the grass, and
the owners of the various machines
were invited, one at time, to follow
the roller and show their ability at
cutting lattened grass. To render
the tests still more trying, heavy
rain storms have come up each day,

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
Mr.. A. r. Starrett saw fit to lay aside
the dignity Of a barris.er and bring
his learning and eloquencc to a focus
through the Conservative in behalf
Of his clients, the Sarsfelds, our prev
iously expressed opinion in the prem
Uses remains unchanged. We care
nothing for Mr.. Starrett's attacks on
this or that attorney or official, and
not much for his reflections on the
ADVERTISER, his so-called correction
of facts being mere bubbles and his
conclusions too attenuated. We will
not even pause to note how much
better it would be for the Treasury
of the county if malicious and una
vai'ing prosecutions soere left to some
one who would "refuse to know any
"thing about them;" and have only
time to smile at the following com
parison and deductions:
"The Sars6elds are poor in purse
and unable to hire or build extensive
suites OF rooms. They are compelled
as most of the pioneers of the West
were, to cook, eat and sleep in the
same room-but that this fact should
be construed by any one as evidence
Of criminal intercourse only shows
the depths of depravity to which the
maligner is sunk when he racklessly
ISLANDERS and bellies the fair fame and
known virtue and chastity of our (Y
ancestors"
Now as Starrett don't say anything
about the evidence of the lady who
testified that Miss Sarsfeld told her
her brother was obliged to sleep
with her to keep her from biting her
self, we won't; but If the "pioneer an
cestors" to whom he refers were BROTH
ers and sisters, we must protest against
his saying sour ancestors" He may
have them all to himself; and as con-
sanguinity Of parents is held scientific
ally to account for feeble minded pos
terity, perhaps it will help him out a
little,
