Great and Good Medicine,

and large number of testimonials which are con.

cured by its use are conclusive proof of its great
value. It is recommended by physicians and
apothecaries. As a Blood-Purifer and Health
Restorcr, it has no equal.
Fegetine is not prepared for a fancy drink made
from poor liquors. which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the diff

persons suffering from disease that they can be

no one can doubt. In many of these cases the per-

be truly called the Great Blood Purifier. The
great source OF disease originates in the blood and
no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to
purify and renovate, has any just claim upon pub

stagnant, either from change OF weather climate,
want OF exercise, irregular diet, from any other
cause, the Negetne will renew the blood, carry OF
the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate
the bowels and impart tone OF vigor to the whole

as in the medical profession, that the remedies sup

more sful, IN the cure of disease than miner

General Belknap's Political Career.


A little over twenty years ago w. W..
Belknap came to Keokuk as young attor-
new. He was Democrat in politics. He
became somewhat active as local politician,
and in 1858 was elected by the Democracy
to the lower house of the State Legislature.
When the war broke out Mr.. Belknap went
in with the local company to which he be-
lonped, and came back at the end OF the
war Msior General, and with q record as
a soldier honorable to himself, the State
and the country. He had scarcely deter
mined what to do as to his business future
when Andrew johnson began his raid upon
Republicans, and DR.. J. G. Walker, reve.
nue. collector for this district, was to 60 out
bv decapitation. At the instance of both
Democratic and Republican friends Cen
eral Belknap, who was war Democrat and
then an Independent, politically dividing
his vote between both parties, applied for
the place and got it. The agencies that &C
oomplished this result were both Repub-
lican and Democratic. When MIR. McCrary
succeeded to Congress. General Belknap,
az an Independent, was reappointed by
President Grant, and his appointment was
generally satisfactory to all parties.
General Belknap was suddenly, to the
surprise OF himself and every body, MADE
Secretary of War. The choice was made
by the President from the standpoint o.
OF that peculiar policy which has controlled
him in many Of mis- appointments Had De
asked any part of Iowa Republicans or
Iowa Demo Gratis who he should choose as q
Republican Cabinet Minister from Iowa
none of either party would have thought OF
suggesting General Belknap. No political
questions were asked or answered as the
condition of his going into the Cabinet

The Old Way.

In 1929, Caleb Atwater was cent to ar
range q treaty with the Indians at Prairie
du Chen. He took his work to Washington,
where it was acted upon by the Sen ate, ap-
proved, and Mr.. Atwater, being off duty,
attended the first levee of "Old Hickory"
which occurred January 10, 1880, at 5
p. NJ, in the round room" Here is the
description of Mr.. Atwater:
Commodore Rogers was there, dressed as
plainly as any simple citizen, easy in his
manner and unassuming. The lieutenants
and midshipmen made all the display they
could. It is the same way the officers of
the army appeared. The Secretary of War
and his family were dressed in the neatest
but plainest manner. The Secretary's lady,
whose person is symmetry itself, neither
needed nor wore anything but plain Amer
lean calico for . dress, without ruffle
or q single ornament on her person.
Her appearance bespoke . reliance on her
native beauty and her accomplishments,
nor was her reliance misplaced, for no
sooner had she taken her place near
the Presidents family than all the beauty
and fashion in the room gathered
around her to do her honor. The gentle
men we're all dressed alike, but our West
ern ladies unanimously dressed in plain
American calico, without an ornament upon
their persons. The simplicity of their
dress, their unaffected manners, their neat
ness, their ease, grace and dignity carried
all before them like an electric shock. The
diamonds sparkled in vain at that levee,
and Western unadorned neatness, modesty
and beauty bore off the palm with ease.
| Our Western ladies had felt some uneasi-
ness before the levee about the result, but
| their friends of the other sex assured them
correctly enough that republican simplicity
would triumph over all the crosses and dia-
monds that the East would bring into the
