Extra Liability to Ma,nr,aI Infection

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak, and

der such conditions infect system which, if healthy,
would resist the miasmatic faint. The only way to
secure immunity from malaria in localities where it
is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by
improving weakened digestion, enrching the blood,
and giving wholesome impetus to hillary secretion.
These results are accomplished by nothing effect
lively as Hostetters Stomach Bitters which long
perence has proved to be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and ague and kindred disorders, as

moreover, an excellent invisorant of the organs of
urination, and active depurent, eliminating from
the blood those acrid impurities which originate
rheumatic ailments.

Now, this is fancy, and poor opening for fault

make general remarks, and from this stand point we
expressed our ideas the school question, with no
intention of changing public opinion.

The HLAwArHA FAIR.-When stated that the
Hiawatha Fair paid only 30 cents the dollar of its
premiums, while the Troy Fair paid one hundred
cents, it seems that touched terribly spot.
Not only have all the Hiawatha papers taken
whack at but the Secretary of the Fair prop
er to publish statement. But not one of them dis
putes our assertion. They say that Hiawatha paid
many dollars in various premiums, while Troy
paid only SO much. The fact is the managers of our
Fair offered what they could afford to pay and paid
it, without attempting to show off bigger than they
could perform while the Hiawatha managers offer
ed more than they could pay, and had to cut down
their payments more than twOthrds the amounts
offered. Persons who took premiums at that Fair
assure us that they were paid only 30 cents the
dollar. and that the managers were chagrined be-
cause persons outside of Brown County took prem
ums. Why, then, pitched into for telling the
simple truth : We have not disputed that the man
ayers of the Hiawatha Fair are honorable gentlemen
and did the best they could; it us, but the
Lord, who sent rain to interfere with their Fair.
We stated but single little fact, and that still
remains fact.

-, George X. Anderson, of this Township was
arrested, last week, requistion from the Cover.
of Iowa, and taken to that State, a charge Of
demonstrating. The facts these: Anderson and
another person in this vicinity, owned twothrds of
a fast trottng horse man named Deeling, in
Iowa, who spent some time here, last year, training
horses, owned the other third. A short time ago,
Anderson went to Iowa. to get the horse but Deelng
would not permit him to take it. Having the order
of the other partner, Anderson considered that the
animal was more his than Deeling's, and went to
the stable and took him, and brought him to Troy.
This was all there was of the theft Those who know
Anderson, know that he is not thief and he made
no attempt to conceal himself, or escape. He will
doubtless come out all right.
