NEVADA, MIMI, Nov. 40, 1873.

Before the late election Il Statement was
published IN the Republican, charging
w. H. Officer, State Senator elect, with
having induced me to have some wheat
Toured at his mill, and with having 81
managed in the sale Of the fonr as tO
cheat me out of half the value Of the
wi. eat ground
At that time wheat was worth 60 cents
per bushel, not Is cents, and l received
3912 cents per bushel on the sale of the
flour, rs stated. but the loss was the result
solely Of depression in the market
as shown by the returns received by mt
from the commission merchants through
whom the sale Was effected.
In justice to myself, as well as to Mr..
Officer, and the public. feel it my duty
TO say, that every thing which vas said in
the statement alluded 70, which either
charges or 1ns,nuates that Mr.. Officer
treated me- unjustlv, or wronged me iI
any manner, is wholly unjust and a mis-
representation Of the facts
/ have long known Mr.. Officer, and
have always respected him for his bus
ness Integrity and exceptionally good
character, and I sincerely regret that m.
name shnuld have beer used in cOnDcc
lion with any effort to do him an injur,
or lo d'>parage him in the public esteem
Very respectfully, S. SUNNY.
AUSTIN, MIMI, Nov. 11th, 1873.
There was published in H"tchkiss' pa
per, and also in the form of circular
both just before the late election, a state
ment to the effect that W. H. Officer In
duced Mr.. Solomon Sunny aud two
o'her farmers to have whe It worth x
cents per bushel, floured. That they did
so and received for the same at the rat'
of 3912 cents per bushel. l am one o
The other "farlhers," and desire to So,
that the whole transaction between Mr
Officer and the three persons alluded to
was in all respects honorable and manly
just as al! his acts have been, 50 far a.
my knowledge extends, and have known
him intimately during the last clever
years. JEROME B. ROGERS.
By the above letters from the idcntica
three whom he was lyingly reported t
have swindied, it will be seen that moth
ing charged against him can be sustained
The first lie falls by its OVID innate weak
ness, and on that point where any homes
man feels slur most keenly, namely, hi
business and commercial integrity, MI
| Officer is abundantly justified.

Why Submit to discomfort, and humili-
alton entailed by Il local disease of the skin,
when GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP will rid you
of it with certainty and despatch? 1t is a
remedy which never fails to relieve Gu
taneous disease, and, as means of BAN
ishing defects of the complexion, it is
equally reliable. The benefits arising
from the use of Sulphur Baths, in cases of
skin disease, and of rheumatism and govt,
are well known, but the cost is too heavy
to be incurred by many persons who
would otherwise take advantage of them.
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP answers the same
purpose, and is both inexpensive and con-
venient. No one need stir abroad in
search of Il sulphur bath who has this adj
mirable means of providing one indoors.
IL is incomparably the best deOdorizer and
disinfcctant of clothing and bed linen In
use, aud prevents diseases of an obnoxious
nature caused by contact. Sores, ulcers,
bruises, scalds, cuts and sprains are
promptly remedied by It; and its clearly
healing and soothing properties eOnsti-
tute it far more desirable remedy for
scOrbutic ailments than ointments of any
description. such greasy compounds soil
the clothing, often aggravate, and very
rarely indeed do any permanent good.

$4,000 GOTTEN AWAY WITH.-A
Bold RoBBERY SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED
Our IN PIEDMONT, w. Va.-On Satur-
day morning about o'clock one of the
greatest robberies ever known in this
State, was effected by four men, snppos-
ed to be professional burglars, in the
store of J. S. Jamison, in Piedmont, w.
Va.
The burglars entered the store by
prying open the front door and then
blew open safe in the private office OF
Mr.. Jamison. They took between $25,.
900 and $4,000 worth Of government
bonds, $4,000 in greenbacks and 3d.
900 or $4,000 in personal notes. The
greater portion of the latter were re-
covered in blacksmith shop near the
store, where they had evidently been
thrown by the thieves. The safe door
was blown completely across the Office,
distance of fourteen feet. In the
house next to the store constable lives,
and when he heard the noise made by
the explosion, he opened a window and
looked out. One of the burglars, who
was on the watch, pointed a revolver at
his head and told him if he made any
noise he would blow his brains out. The
constable, thinking that che who fights
and runs away will live to fight another
day." promptly drew in lis head and
did no, give any alarm until next day.
No clue has as yet been found to the
whereabouts or identity OF the burglars.

GRAPE CULTURE AND WINE.-The cul-
ture of tie Grape in New Jersey is get
ting to be one of the most important in
dustries of the State. The principle va
rietes raised are the Oporto and Concord.
Mr.. Speer's vineyards at fassaic promises
larger yield this than any previous year.
Inconsequence Mr., Speer has reduced the
price Of his Port Grape Wine. The oldest
can now be had for 81 per bottle from any
of the Druggist. 1t is used for medicinal
purposes as superior wine, and in fami-
lies as an excellent evening party wine.
Its Intoxicating properties are so slight
that the weakest person may use it to adj
vantage, and temperance people cannot
object to its use as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

fortunes that Need NOT be Endur.


People suffer great deal of pain I'M
necessarily. Among tOrtures that need
not be endured are those inflicted by rheu-
matism and govt, since the acrid element
in the blood which produces them by con-
tact with the sensitive covering of the mus
cles and joints may be eliminated by the
use of that matchless depurent, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, before the inflam-
matOry symptoms are developed to any
great texnt. When it is considered what
excruciating tortures rheumatism inflicts,
and what q tendency it has, when fully
developed, to attack the heart, the advisa-
bility of on early use of such reliable
autidOte becomes at apparent. The
rheumatic virus Is expelled from the
blood by the increased action of the kid
neys-which act as strainers-prOduced
by the Bitters, and the sufferer will find,
fine uses this supreme defensive agent,
that he will be protected against return
of the agOnizing complaint. Dyspepsia,
fever and ague, liver and bowel complaints
and other maladies, are also cured by this
admirable remedy.
A timely dose of Schenck's Mandrake
Pills Is sure to prevent an attack of bill
liOusness, when short neglect of the
warning symptoms may develOpe serious
case of fever, either bilious, intermittent
or typhoid.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills remove all
causes of billiousness, promptly start the
secretions of the liver, and give healthy
tone to the entire system. it's no Ordi-
nary discovery in medical science to have
fOunda harmless cure for this stubborn
complaint, which accomplishes all the re-
suits heretofore produced by a free use Of
calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by man
kind, and acknowledge to be destructive
in the extreme to the human system.
That the properties of certain vegetables
comprise all the virtures of calomel with
out its injurious qualities. is now an adj
mitted fact, rendered indisputable by SCI
entific test. Those WhO use the Mandrake
Pills will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by nature in
the common herbs and roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bowls and correct
all bilious arrangements without saliva
ton or any the injurious effects of calo-
mel or other poisons. The secretion of
bile is regulated as will be seen by the al
tered color of the stools, the disappearance
of the sallow complexion and the cleans
ing of the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany
each box pills. Prepared only by j. H..

The CINCINNATI FoRGER.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, in noticing the arrival in that city
OF the Cincinnati forger whose arrest
was mentioned in Saturdays Gazette,
says -
George Mcpherson, alias Jack Driver
charged with forgery, in Cincinnati,w was
brought here last evening from Front
Royal, Va. Driver was accompanied
by "Miss Mamie Lord" who is also
charged with the forgery. Both were
sent TO Cincinnati last evening. They
have been fugitives from justice for
some time. 1t is alleged that McPher-
son obtained $4,000 on forged checks
from his mothers hank account. He
left Cincinnati in February. Accord
ing to bic account he lost $4,000 the
following night playing faro. He also
gave the woman who was with him in
jewelry and clothes about $4,000. Since
he has been in Virginia he has lived
very high, and upon searching his peck
cts last night it was found that he had
just $40 lett, having spent all the rest
inside of thirty days. The woman who
belongs in Cincinnati, took the arrest
very coolly. She expressed her contln-
ued admiration for Jack. but said that
he was fool for spending his money SO
lively. She occupied her time at the
depot in Washington awaiting the de-
parture Of the western train singing
operate selections, and pretended that
she was very happy, and glad that she
was about to return to Cincinnati.
