PUBLIC SURVEYS.
The scheme Of Hayden and his Help

Washington. January 25.-The members
of the National Academy Of Science are
bringing great pressure to bear upon men,
hers Of the House to induce them to sup
port the scheme to consolidate all the gov
eminent surveys and placing them under
the charge of the coast survey, and then
transferring that branch OF the service from
the Navy to the Interior Department. 1t is
plainly evident now that the scheme is
simply huge job involving millions If
money, and concoctcd to provide place.
for several members of the academy OF sci
cnce who have vainly entleavored for wears
10 get control Of the government surveys.
The tact that the influen"e of prominent
members of Congress has been solicited to
secure those persons appointments If the
scheme goes through Congress. which l.
will not. has sesvetkto confirm the suspic-
ions Of the members that the project is
simply one to- GUST those who are now in
charge OF the surveys and make PLACES for
some members OF the national academy of
science. The strong protests which have
been received here from all sections o. the
West against the proposed scheme leaves
no doubt but that Western Congress men
will quite generally oppose it in the
House.

From the Rockport, Ind, Banner !:
There is no medicine in the world
which has gained such fame as st. ia
cobs Oil; this is, however, not in the
least astonishing, when we consider its
truly wonderful curative powers. Mr..
F. Rodenburg OF Grandview, called at
our office last week and related the fol-
lowing circumstance: suffered with
rheumatism for over six. years; con-
suited many physicians and tried hum
dreds of remedies, but without avail.
Having ,een ST. Jacobs Oil advertised
in your paper, and heard of some most
astonishing cures, 1 sent to Rockport
for 1 bottle of the Oil, and used it ac-
cording to directions. The relief felt
was almost "electric." got better at
once, and now there is not a trace Of
rheumatism left in my body.

Mr.

II your wife makes it unpleasant for
you after buying shoddy coal oil, go to
Bowlby s. Halls and buy the pure water
white. You can't afford to live in dark
ness.
A number of persons have said they
got the best Oysters from US that they
had this year. What does that mean?
A reputation for selling the best goods
lengthens our girt. We don't want a
reputation for the lowest prices, it's too
suggestive of slops, skum, watered stock,
dyspepsia, headache, etc. Pure and
healthy food makes the head right, and
when you are right in the head you will
go to Bowlby & Halls for flour. crack
ers, buckwheat, canned goods, dried beef
shavings, fresh roasted coffee, tea and
everything in their line.
Remember that between December
Goth, 1879, and January Cd, 1880, to
everybody that buys pound Of tea or
over, or O dollars worth Of coffee or over,
we give ! pound of pure mixed candy.
This is no money making scheme. We
sell the same goods at the same prices
we do any time in the year.
We have the best assortment OF dishes
and glassware in town. Come and look
at them.

We were exposed last week to u
pitiless storm, that wet our feet and
stockings, and indeed our person all
over. In fact we took a cracking cold,
which brought sore throat and severe
symptoms of fever. The good wife as
serted her authority, plunged our feet
into hot water, wrapped us in hot
blankets, and sent our faithful son for
a bottle of Ayers Cherry Pecto:al. 1t
is splendid medicine-plesant to take,
and did the job. We slept sonDdly
through the night and awoke well the
next morning. We know we owe our
quick recovery to the Pectora!, and
shall not hesitate to recommend it to
all who need such a medicine.-Tehua-

John Greenleaf Whittier, the most child
hearted as he is among the foremost of
American Authors, writes of 81. NICAoLAs:
'It is little 70 say of this magazine that it is
the best child's periodical in the world"
Prof. Proctor, the astronomer, wrote from
London: "What wonderful magazine it is
for young folks, and ours are quite as much
delighted with it as American children can
bei' That it is calculated to delight tho
little folk everywhere is indicated by the
fact that it is to be issued in French by Del
agraye of Paris, and that even the far-away
little Moslems are now to have volume
