Good Results

Are always pleasant to contemplate, as every
dyspeptic sufferer who uses Parker's Ginger
Tonic will attest. To obtain from this remedy
the gratifying relief when distressed with head
ache, low spirits, nervousness, wakefulness pain
in stomach, palpitation of the heart liver disor
ders, costiveness, heartburn, cramps, etc, is a
pleasant experience that surprises no less than
it comforts. Another remarkable feature Ofthis
remedy is its powerful specific action on the
skin and mucous surfaces of the throat and
lungs, by which it unfaiingly cures the wors,
cases of cough, cold and sore throat. 1t cures in
a wonderfully short time, removes all soreness
from lungs and protects the feeble from con
sumption. Buy 81 bottle from your druggist

to town; but when the distance is viewed
through those (infernaD mud holes. it seem:

in building new bridges.

Mr.. Anslev'a Grafton.

Too much can not be said in praise
OF the excellent Grafton delivered by
Thos. Scott Ansley, in this city ol
July 18th
The speaker discarded Ill use of thu
spread-eagle style of Fourth of July
oratory, and came down to the con
sideration of living, practical ques
lions.
In the beginning he paid deserved
compliment to the Grafton delivered by
Judge Cothren two years ago. He used
Us u preface for his address Judge
Cotlrcn's idea Of the true method in
which should be celebrated our Ma
tional Independence.
While Mr.. Ansley showed great
familiarity with the political questions
OF the hour. he did not treat Of them
as II politician, but rather discussed
them with that fairness and candor
which distinguishes the true states
man from the political dcmagogue.
The Grafton was indeed Il masterpiece.
Mr.. Ansley is an able and eloquent
speaker. Ii is not the first time he
has appeared upon the rostrum IN
Mineral Point; ana our people have
long recognized him us an able man
and fine orator. He has been very
often eensnred by his friends and we
think Justly for having given up tho
practice OF law. Had Mr.. Anslcy
continued in the law he would now he
among the foremost members of the
legal profession. II is IL disgrace for
this district to send such man as
George c. lla2eiton toGongress when
it has such men rs Thos. Scott Anslcy
to select from. But Mr. Anslcy would
hardly make Il success rs politician,
rs he would not stoop to the trickery
which seems so essentially necessary
to gain success in that direction.
All who heard the grafton on the
Fourth pronounce il ono Of the worry
best ever delivered in this city. We
regret very much that we are unable
to Ivy Il before he readers Of the
Democrat.
At the close Of his address, Mr..
AnSley wis congratulated by many
ot his friends who thanked him for
tic VERY allie manner IN which he had
entertained .lrm.

The Reading Room Of this city is
now III as hourishihg condition
as ii ever has been and continues to
provide q pleasant place Of retreat for
those who have no pressing employ
ment during day or evening. All are
most cordially invited to visit the
room and especially those who fear
being led into temptation. Appoint
ments may be made there and social
talks and conversations may be had
il is not absolutely necessary to read
while there If one does not wish to.
On Tuesday evenings the Club holds
meetings to which every one inter-
ested in the temperance reform is
invited. Members are solicited from
the ranks of those who have here

A Word to Poets.

Mr.. A. c. Watkins recently of this
city, now editing the "Sioux City
Tribune" has few advisory remarks
under the above head in the last issue
of his paper.
He adjures Don't. If you eXpef-
ience any high imaginings or deep
longings or dreamy visions that
would suggest poetry, ascribe them
all to liver complaint, or look for
their seat in chronic stomach troubles.
Whenever YOU feel 4 temptation to
commit poetry, summon at once al
the skepticism of a doubling Thomas,
and don't intlict your verses on the
public till you have overwhelming
evidence that they are not flat, stale
and Improbable, which they are al
most sure to be. An occasional Mil
tonic genius may 60 right on being
mute and inglorious forever, but the
the great cloud which would be rifted
from the editors sky and the conser-
walton Of public tase now suif ering
from d flood of corrupt models would
be more than compensation for such
losses. Therefore don't write poetry
il you can possibly help it.
