THE HosPITAL.-Mrs. Pauline Swain.
of the Fort Dodge Mess niger, a few weeks
since spent several days in personal in
spection of the Hospital tor the Insane
near this city. The result of her visit is
embodied in an exceedingly we'll written
article of three columns, in the Messenger
of last week, which does credit alike to
her faculty for intelligent observation,
and to her womanly sympathy for the af-
flicted. She closes her article as fol-
lows:
In conclusion we can only say that we
do not believe the Independence Hospital
in its present management and future
plans can be improved. Nor do we think
the State has, as yet, any positive need of
establishing an Asylum as separate from
a Hospital The two are combined with,
out Injustice, we think, here, and there is
no need at present for any better protec-
ton for our insane than we have now,
and in prospect when this institution shall
be completed The friends of these I'M
fortunates may be assured that no care is
neglected to alleviate the misfartunes and
benefit the condition of the patients; and
that sad as is their fate now, it Is not rem
dered more so by lnhumanity, ill treat
ment or neglect.

A PROSPECTIVE TRANSACTION IN HAIR
Some of our citizens, business men and
others who have been heretofore navigat-
ing the tempestuous sea of life under bare
polls, are just now on the top wave OF ex-
pectancy with regard to the prospect OF a
crop from the waste places which occupy
the apex of their anatomy. 4 perpatetic
hair-tuculturalist passed through town
the other day who sought out these thatch-
less unfortunates, and entered into con-
tract with each of them to raise a
crop upon the aforesaid barren spots upon
the several heads within one year, or
forfeit his seed and labor. If he succeeds
he is to have $50 head. He left a bot
tie of his wonderful specific with each,
and our friends are applying it according
to directions, with hopefulness that de-
serves success. 1t is said. however. that
one doubling Thomas hesitates to apply
it to his Uranium until the result of an ex-
pertinent upon billiard ball is known.

a Remedy that has made its Mark.


Success is the need of excellence. The
truth of this has never been more torciby
exempified than by the triumphant career
Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. No sooh-
er did the people discover the genuine
merits OF this supreme invigorant and
corrective than they FASTENED to stamp it
with the seal Of popularity. The press
and medical profession speedily followed
in the wake Of the public and emphatic
ally endorsed it. Thus from the very
outset the success of the bitters as a rem
edy and preventative was an established
fact, and degree OF popularity which it
often takes proprietary medicines years to
attain, was achieved almost at stride by
the then new preparation. Since that
time every successive year has witnessed
fresh accessions to the favor with which
the Bitters were early regarded, and the
area of its popularity is no longer confined
to the United States, but includes the
British Provinces in North America and
the West Indies, South America, Mexico,
portions OF Europe and Australia. That
IL Is not Only remedy loT dyspepsia, COLI
stipation, biliousness, urinary and uterine
complaints, debility and nervousness, but
also preventive Of those maIades to
which air and water, impregnated with
miasma, give birth, has been no where
so strongly evidenced as in those regions
where climatic conditions un'avorable to
health exist, and where the Bitters have
been long aud constantly tested. To call
this superb cordial remedy that has
made its mark, cannot we think be re-
gardeG as boasting, since there is probably
no proprietary remedy more widely known
universally respected and emphaticaly
endorsed than these Bitters.

How to Break on Bad HaDIls.

Understand the reasons, and all the
reasons, why the habit Is inJurous.
Study the subject until there is no
lingering doubt in yOur mind. Avoid
the places, the persons, and the
thoughts that lead to the temptation.
Frequent the places, associate with
the persons, indulge in the thoughts
that led away from temptation.
Keep busy; idIeness is the strength
OF bad habits. Do not give up the
struggle when you have broken your
resolution once, twiee-a thousand
times. That only shows how much
need there is for you to strive When
you have broken your resolutions just
think the matter over, and endeaVoI
to understand why it is you failed, 80
that you may be on your guard
against a recurrence OF the same cir
cumstanees. Do not think it an easy
thing that you have undertaken. II
Is q folly to expect to break of habil
in day which may have been gath
ering long years.

The Hancock Courier of last week
makes the following complaint against
the County Board of School Exsmi-
ners. The same might be said of 9TH
er counties, but there would be a
scarcity of teachers If the COUricr's
suggestions were acted upon. Itsays {:
There is one matter in which our
County Board Of School Examiners
are not strict enough, and that is in
repeatedly granting to the same party
six months certificates. This is not
right. The vocation of teacher
ought to be progressive, and if after
one or two trials The applicant does
not show sufficient progress to war
rant the granting of longer time
certificate, they should be dropped
entirely to make room for some one
else.
We kno9 Ot many who have been
getting short time certificates for
several years past-always barely
passing the requisite per cent. in eX-
amir Lions to entitle them to the
lowest grade of certificates. They
show ~ Improvement, no pride in
their profession, and seem only sstis-
fed when they draw their pay. To
cut these off and To remind others
that progress is tue teachers duty,
should be an Imperative rule OF the
Board.

Ole Of the citzsns OF Danbury,
Conn, who had Just returned from
the West, was telling in MerriIl's gro
cery of 8 narrow escape he had from
a terrible death. He was crossing a
long railroad bridge on foot, when he
was surprised to see q locomotive
coming around c curve and tearing
toward him at q terrific speed. The
the bridge was too narrow to allow OF
escape at either side, and be did not
dsre 70 jump into the yawning abyss
below. Ia fash he took in the sit
uation and formed his plan or action.
He started on a swift rVR toward the
oncOming locomotive, and when
within a few feet of it he concentrate
ed all his nerve and muscle into one
effort and leaped straight up in the
air. The fearful monster shot under
him, and he came down on the
bridge, saved from death, but seriouS
ly shaken up by the descent. There
was a moment of deep silence upon
the close of this narration. Then one
OF the company sighed, and shut hi;
knife, and unexpectedly said
"What's the use of presence Of mind
when 8 man can lie like that ?"

The Democrats, in their Kilkenny
eat row at Cincinnati last week,
nominated a Mr.. Ffnck, for Supreme
Judge who is a Roman Catholic. In
this connection the Leader says:
He is, therefore, compelled by his
religion to hold views concerning the
public school system which should
exclude him forever from the Su.
prsme bench of Ohio.
We DO not question the individual
right OF Mr.. Finek to be as ardent 8
Catholic as he chooses, bpt when il
comes 90 putting such q man In the
Supreme Court of this State, that Is
wholly different affair. Mr. Finck be-
longs to . church which recognizes as
its supreme authority foreign poten-
ate. His fealty 10 his church makes
him consider the authority of that
foreign DO5enate above that Of local
law or executives on the question OF
education. The policy Of the Romish
Church is openly AMI avOwedly iI
opposition to the American public
school system, snd Mr., Finck If elect
ed TO the Supreme bench, would be
compelled by his religion to hold
views on the educational question
which would be 10 OppOsItiOn tO the
spirit of our institutions.
The free school system is part OF the
government OF Ohio. 1t is the part
which nine out Of every ten voters
would defend as the most precious
and sacred heritage which the State
gives to them ami their children.
These are likely to come before the
Supreme Court cases in which the
school question will be the germ of
controversy. In that case the people
Of Ohio have q right to insist that the
judge shall be a man who is not made
by his religion hostile to secular educs-
tiOn and the free schools. In nOmi-
mating a Catholic for the Supreme
Court, the Democrats have made
their usual bid to cOncilate 1.-THE solid
Catholic vote" b1t they nave at the
same time introduced an element Of
weakness into their ticket which will
inevitably defeat 1t. The people Of
Ohio want no representative of the
POpe's ideas on education, to be
clothed with the authority of the Su-
preme Court. There are thousands
Of Democrats who will scateh Mr..
Finek's name from their tickets for
this reason alone. He will be the
worst beaten candidate on their tick.
