Tile National Lice-St0ck JoU7qaaL for
September, is at hand, and is truly a
magnificent number. 1t contains twenty
six elegant Illustrations, drawn on stone,
expressly for this number, by the dis
tinguished animal artist Z. II. Dewey,
which are intended as representatives of
the leading breeds Of domestic animals as
bred in America, in this, our centennial
year. The horse pictures are faithful
likenesses of Lexington, Gov. Sprague,
Donald Dinnie, and Apollo. Then fol-
lows male and female of each of the
leading breeds of cattle, making. in all,
twelve cattle portraits. Then we have
Cottsw cid, Leicester, Southdown and
Merino sheep; Berkshire, Yorkshire, Essex,
Chester White, Suffolk and Poland China
swine; making in all a series of illustra-
tions that have never been approached
by any other journal of the kind in the
world. In its entire mechanical execu-
ton, the Journal is model of neatness
and taste; while the character of Its con-
tents has uniformly been such as to have
placed it, long ago, at the head of all
journals of its class, in Europe or Ameri-
Ca. 1t is published by the Stock journal
Company, Lakeside Building, Chicago
His, at $2.15 per year.
Although the Journal is published in
Chicago, its editor is now and has been
for more than twenty years past, a citi-
zen of Iowa, and it is owned entirely by
citizens of this State; hence Iowa people
should take an especial pride in extend
ing its circulation.

If any dependence is to be placed in the

been set up by Sammy Tildcn and his

The American People.

No people in the world suffer as much
with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years of experience in medicine had fail
ed to accomplish certain and sure rem
edy for this disease and its effects, such
as Sour Stomach, Heart burn, Water brash
Sick Headache, Costiveress, palpitation
of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up
OF the food, low spirits, general debility,
&C., yet since the introduction OF GREEN'S
AUGUST FLOWER we believe there is no
case of Dyspepsia that cannot be imme.
year without one case of failure reported.
Go to your Druggist, DR.. J. N. Springer,
Toledo, or II. Soleman, Tama City, and
get Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try
it, Two doses will relieve you. Regular

pot has boiled the handful of char

one laid last week. Values are

surplus is carefully saved. A thoH-

from the high city wall that night,
at spot where it girdles the edge
Of the hill that oyerlooks the river,
where the ivy grows in wild masses

American who pets and cOaxeS this
obstinate vine to twine for a few
feet along his walls, and then sees
it turn yellow and refuse to thrive.
Into this tangled mass the poor
frantic wretch of a father threw

he intended to take his life. He
was found next morning, his leg
