An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
Of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of those diseases O the messes
OF intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of a pleasant existence
OF enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for this,
if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie OF Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been Civ
en- away to try it's virtues, with satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can
buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try.
Three doses will relieve the worst case.
Positively sold by all Druggists on the

POETRY AND SONG.-The entertain
given at the Opera House, last Tuesday
evening by Misses Wilkins and Spencer,
was of a pleasing character, and gave,
we think, general satisfaction. The
young ladies have appeared but a few
times in public, and have not the assur-
ance which is quite necessary for the
most complete success, but that they
have a considerable degree of talent, we
think all will admit. Miss Wilkins is
possessed of a fine voice and manner,
and can, and undoubtedly will, in time,
make a %reciter of extraordinary merit.
Miss Spencer, too, performed the most
of her pieces admirable, and we have
but one criticism to make, and that is,
in the selection of her music. If she
would leave such difficult pieces as
Hear Me Norma" out of her roper
toire, we think she would achieve great
er success. But we did not intend to
criticise. The entertainment was ex-
%cellent, and better far than one-half of
the travelling shows which visit our city,
and, as we said before, we think it gave
general satisfaction. The ladies wish
to return their grateful thanks to the
members of the new band for their as
sistance, and also to Miss Anna Kins-
ley for presiding at the organ.

WET NOTIONS.
A Too Susceptible Drummer, and What
Happened to Him.

One evening last week two young la
dies were rowing on the mill-pond, neal
the Central Railroad bridge, when the
train from the west came in. Obeying
a thoughtless and entirely innocent i'm
pulse, they waved their handkerchiefs
as the train passed over the bridge.
Standing on the rear platform was a
commercial traveller, representing a Chi
cago notion house. M of the particular
class who stood for Judge Hubbard's
graphic portrait, With characteristic
cheek and egotism, MI. Drummer ap-
pr%opriated the girls demonstration all
to himself, and interpreting it as an in
vitation, he, as Dol as the train stop
ped, hurried down town, hired a boat,
and rather awkwardly navigated it tow
ard the portion Of the pond where he
had seen the fair navigators. They,
however, had no desire to cultivate his
acquaintance, and being much more
skillful with the oars, easily eluded him.
He kept up the search for them until
the shadows of evening drew on, and
then gave it up. Turning the PROV of
his craft down stream, he suffered it to
float with the lazy current of the pond,
while he sat resting from his unwonted
toll, and Illuminating upon the miscar-
riage of his amorous adventure and the
fckleness of women. While thus absorb
ed in sweet and bitter fancies, remorse-
less fate was preparing a catastrophe
for the too ardent tourist. The boat
approached the dam, the occu-
pant, with his back to the fearful edge,
oblivious of danger, lulled, it may be, by
the sound Of the waters, stirred not.
In another moment it was too late. The
craft entered the vortex, gathered head
way, and with one wild plunge went
over the dam. A few minutes thereaf-
ter MIR. Drummer was seen making for
the shore below the dam, in a decidedly
limp and saturated condition, and as lit
tie resembling the eager, impetuous in
dividual of an hour before as it was
possible to conceive. His mishap was
confined to the involuntary bath, but
he will doubtless pursue his amorous
expeditions by land hereafter.

THE New CITY OFFIcERs.-The oath
Of Office was administered to the new
Mayor and City Council on Monday
evening last, and when the voting for
city officers came up, nearly a clean
sweep was made. The Council by a
strict party vote, elected c. B. Handy
Marshal and V. Gates, Night Waterman.
When the office of City Clerk came up,
Mr.. Edwards voted with the Democrats
for R. Brewer, thus making a tie and a
consequent deadlock, which was broken
on the fifteenth ballot, by G. F. Herrick
going over to the Brewer side, and thus
electing him. E. B. Backus was elect
ed Street Commissioner. j. W. John
ston was selected as the President of
the body in place of c. NJ. Durham;
thus making all the city officers but
Brewer, Republicans. IF a change had
to be made, we know of no body of men
who would make better officers or give
better satifaction than the ones select

THE Supreme Court of Iowa. in

THE Supreme Court of Iowa, in ses-
sion at Council Bluffs, on Wednesday,
adhered to its former opinion in the
case of Mrs. j. A. Fuller VS.. Chas.
Schwartz. This was ON a judgment of
the lower court for something over $4,000
damages against the defendant, for sell
ing whiskey to the plaintiffs husband.
Schwartz, not satisfied with the decision
Of the Supreme Court, rendered some
time since,-which affirmed the judy
ment of the court below-sought and
secured a rehearing, and the result is as
stated, that the Supreme Court finds
no cause to reverse it's former opinion.
This is the end of the case, and the de-
PENDANT will probably come down grace
fully with the money to satisfy the
judgment, which, with the costs, will
amount to about $500. The commun-
ity generally, will congratulate Mrs.
Fuller upon the success of her suit, and
the money involved, will no more than
compensate her for the suffering she
has experienced.

FLAX SEED.
Its Advantages as a Crop.

1. It is the best preparation for a
wheat crop, insuring from three to six
bushels more per acre following flax
than when sown in succession. The
same is true of oats, barley or corn. No
cash outlay for seed, three pecks per
acre, costing less than half as much as
with wheat.
2. 1t affords a good relief from the
one crop" system. 1t pays ordinarily
as well as other crops and some seasons
much better; have never known a fail
ure in Flax.
3. Nothing is better than Flax with
which to seed down to timothy or clover.
4. Flax comes off from ten days to
two weeks before wheat is ready to cut.
No fear from chintz bugs.
s.. If cut at the right time, can be
harvested as'cheap as a crop of hay, and
secured from rain. The straw and chaff
are eagerly eaten by stock, and are fully
worth an equal weight Of good hay.
