A Remarkable Professional Success

Among the notable professional men of this coun-
try who have achieved extraordinary success is Dr.
K: V. Pierce. OF Buffalo, N. Y. The prominence
which he has attained has been reached through
strictly legitimate MEANS and, far, therefore, he
deserves the envable reputation which he enjoys.
This large measure of is the result of thor
ough and careful preparation for his calling and
tensive reading during long and unusually large
practice. which have enabled him to gain high COM
mendation, even from his professional brethren.
Devotng his attention to certain specalties of the
science he has so carefully investigated he has been
rewarded in remarkable degree. In these special
ties he has become recognized leader. Not few
OF the remedies prescribed by him have, it is said
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in their
private practice. His pamphlets and larger works
have been received useful contributions to medical
kDo Wedge He has recently added another, and per-
haps more important work, because of more general
application, to the list of his published writings.
This book, entitled 'rhe Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser is designed to enter into general
circulation DR.. Pierce has received Acknowledge
ment and honors from many sources, ana especially
scientific degrees from two of the first medical iDsti
buttons in the land.

Here is a rule which will hold good for all
dateslin the present century since 1852, as we'll
as for those in the present year: In order to
find out the day of the week upon which any
event fell, 100 years ago, count forward two
days from the day of the week upon which the
centennial anniversary falls. For instance, the
4th of July, 1876, will fall on Tuesday; the 4th
of July, 1776, was Thursday. The centennial
anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill was
celebrated Thursday, June IL, 1875. The battle
was fought Saturday, June II, 1775. This rule
must not 6e used for dates in the 18th century
earlier than 1852, because that was the year
when the change from sold style'' took effect

President Grant has written letter to Prof
Parker of the Iowa University explaining the
free school portion of his speech at Des Moines
as follows:
What said at Des Moines was hastily noted
down in pencil. L may have expressed my
views imperfectly. 1 have not the manuscript
before me, as gave it to the secretary of the
society. My idea of what said is this:
Resolved, That the state or nation or both
combined shall furnish to every child growing
up in the land the means of acquiring good
common school education.
Such is my idea and such intended to have
said: feel no hostility to free education going
as high as the state or national government
feels able to provide, protecting, however, every
child ia the privilege of common school edu
cation before public means are appro priated to
higher education for the few

Gentlemen: must express my gratitude for the
wonderful cure as performed by your R@der's Ger

many years, and it caused my hearing to become so
poor that was totally deaf, tried many remedies,
but without any benefit; but at last purchased a
box OF German Snuff and its use not only entirely
cured my Catarrh, but what yet more wonderful,
my hearing fully restored and after having been
deaf for years, can now hear as well as any one
This Snuff should be spread broadcast over the land

Yours very truly,

Logan county has already taken In
this matter Logan county at its last
meeting employed an agent to canvass
the county for stock and to pay him
out of the county grange funds. The
stock is to be as equally divided as
possible, between the counties COM
posing the Council, and should one
county take more than another, she
must yield portion to make it equal

their call.

Grange, was appo.Gted to see the sub
scribers to the Warehouse stock and
ascertain certainly what amount of
money can be deposited in bank by the
