The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1879-07-03

All figures in regard to the area of wheat
planted each year in the United States are
open to very free criticism. The only off,
cial estlmates-those Of the department of
agriculture at Washington-seem to be
based upon nothing but unofficial guesses,
and are so tardy in their appearance that
they seem to be only desperate dashes to
strike an average of the popular opinion.
Even the census of 1870, while it furnished
the estimate of the total crop of wheat, gave
nothing in regard to the area upon which
the crop of 287, ,745,OO bushels of wheat for
that wear was raised.

is mere diversion-they don't

but that the Republicans will attempt q
repetition of the tactics of 1876. 1t is to
divert attention from this new piece of
Republican villainy that the ferry is raised
by Carpenter and bis cohorts. The
Republican party has held office so long
aud grown so rich on government plunder,
that they will endeavor to seat their presi-

Washington special to the New orb

ground that it is proposed to establish 6
large garrison of the regular troops, posi-

now used for the manufacture and storage
of military supplies. The troops COM
posing it will be at the headquarters OF
the regiment, with its band and about six
companies. At the same time extra quar-
ters and camping grounds will be so ar
ranged that the garrison could in 8 few
hours be augmented TO several thousand.
Il this plan is carried out it will be in direct
opposition TO the wishes of Congress. Gen.
Hancock is quoted as being opposed to
garrisoniDg troops in Washington, and it
is believed correctly. He would certainly
oppose always any such il-advised attempt.

The New York Herald says that there
is something suspicious in the result in
New York now aud on the night after the
election. For instance, the day after the
election the Telectfon of the entire Demo
cratic ticket was conceded except governor
by majorities ranging from 5000 to l5,-'
600, and now after month of unnecessary
delay, Potter's majority has been Whitfield
down to only 122, while Seymour. has
nearly 900 majority. The Herald says
that the difference in the majorities looks
a little strange; that there are many who
DO not think the result has been honestly
reached, aud that the Republicans have
doctored the returns. The Herald is one
OF the most reliable papers in the country
and is entitled to more than ordinary con-
sderatiOn.

Superior to any English or American d.
PLOMA awarded 10 this MagnesiR, by the
American Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient aatlc-acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with accidity with very great benefit. II
has the advantage over common Magnet ia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu-
mulRte in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior TO
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, on account OF its APP
crient qunhty.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in all
cases Of irritation acidiy of the stomach f. lie
complaints. nfantile disorders, or sea sickness.
An two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn, acrld ernctations and sourness,
or irregular digestion.
The solution of itself aperient but it's laxa-
tive propert es can be mueh augmented by taking
with it. or directly after it, a little lemon juice
mixed with sngar and water, or even with cream
of tartar, in this manner very agreeable effer-
vescent drangh can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
The antisceptic quail ties OF this solution. owing
to tie presence of go much carbonlc acid, have
yer. As lotion for the mouth it sweetens the
breath, and the Magncsia cleans the teeth from
tartar.
The solution is almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headache to which deli
cate persons are subject from acis and crudies OF

NOTICE.
To Consumers of Coal.

The impression having become general that
the Northwestern Fuel Company has with
drawn from the retail coal trade, we beg to
state that such is not the fact. In addition to
our esnequolled facilities for furnishing coal to
dealers at all points in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Dakota and Manitoba, we have constant
ly on our retail CARDS in st. Paul and Minne-
apozis stock of from ,OOO to 10, 900 tons fresh
mined COAL and are prepared to fill orders
promptly for any amount from 100 pounds to
1000 tons. Our Intentions for the future are
to always furnish the best quality of coal at
the lowest possible cost to consumers. In fur
.therance of this and in order that the citizens
of st. Paul and Minneapolis might always and
at all times be supplied with this important
staple from first hands. We have interested
with US one of the largest and strongest coal
producing companies in the United States;
have secured dock facilities at Duluth and Mil
waukee for 100. QUO tons of coal, and rail de.
pot at Chicago for another 100, GOO tons, which
should be a sufficient guarantee that we are in
the business. We shall endeavor in the future,
as in the past, by prompt attention to the
wants of our customers, to merit the larqe part
of the retail trade of both cities.
