SMITHS TONIC SYRUP
OR THE CURE OF

or CHlLLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever
offered to the public for the SAFE. CERTAIN,
SPEEDY, and PERMANENT cure of Ague and
Fever or Chills and Fever, whether of short or
long standing. He refers to the entire Western
and Southern country to bear him testimony TO the
truth of the assertion that in whatever will
fail to cure If he directions strictly followed
and carried out. In great many cases single
dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cured by single bottle, with
perfect restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every more certain to
cure if it's use is continued in smaller doses fol-
week two after the disease has been checked,
more especially in difficult and long-standing
cases. Usually this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the
patient however, require cathartic medicine after
having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, q
single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY
PILLS will be sufficient
The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have

uIe and sell the original JOHN j. SMITHS TONIC

BosroN occasionally startles the country

the discovery that one of her most highly

in robbing the institution of which he was
treasurer of the enormous sum OF 100000.

THE CROPS AND THE HlRpEsr.

The Macedonian cry, "Come over and
help u.s. is going up from the har vest fields
throughout the State. It is addressed to
Jew and Gentle, tramp and sinner alike.
The heated term last week, in less than seven
days, accomplished more than the usual
work of two weeks. The early season had
advanced the grain at the beginning,
but the farmers had not anticipated
such sudden ripening and consequently
have been, in many instances, caught unpre-
pared. It is usual, too, for the
harvest to begin ten days to two weeks
earlier in the southern than in the other por-
tons of the State, but this season the harvest
appears to have begun simultaneously in all
quarters. AS the result the demand for
labor is simply enormous, and it is next to
necessary help to harvest the crop with the
rapidity which its salvation requires. Farm
ers are offering from ST. to $5 per day
for laborers, according to their necessities.
but the supply does not ap-
proximate to the demand. There is
nothing sluggish about Minnesota wheat,
The ripening and the harvest is like the
word and the blow coming together, and
there is likely to be considerable loss from
inability to secure assistance to gather the
grain before it becomes too ripe, or to pro-
tect it from storms.
The change in the weather of the past
few days has given a much more cheerful
prospect than the outlook last week. There
could be nothing more favorable than such
weather as the present. and if two weeks Of
such cool and clear weather as yesterday can
be vonchsafed, the crop will be substantially

Last night, at 10 o'clock, band of about
thirty armed and disguised men made an
attack upon our county Jail for the purpose
of lynching a colored man named Nose
Kirkendall, confined therein upon the charge
of attempted rape upon the person of a Miss
Walters, who resides at Bellefont, little
village four miles distant from this place.
After two hours incessant labor with an
axe and square bar of iron two inches
thick and eight feet long (the latter used as
battering-ram in the hands of ten men),
they succeeded in demolishing the lock, tied
rope around the helpless mans neck,
mounted their horses, and left town at full
speed, yelling and forcing the prisoner to
run on foot to keep up, which he did for
distance of about half mile, when they put
the rope over limb, drew him up and tied
it, leaving him hanging over the road.
The sheriff and deputy both left town yes
terday evening, without making any prepara-
ton for the safety of the prisoner, notwith-
standing it was the prevailing opinion that
mob would take him oct last night. The

tanned to make an attack upon the lynchers

affair, as gathered from reports, are these
Mr.. Walters had hired the negro to work on
his farm, and had kept him for about year.
Last Tuesday night Miss Walters awoke,
and, seeing the negro standing in her room,
screamed so as to arouse the family. The
negro ran off, but not until the girls

he fred at the retreating form,

armed, which prevented lynching that night
