THE VALUE OF TIME.

AS in a fire the loss greatly depends
upon the time required for efficient aid
to arrive, so the result of catarrh great
ly depends on the speedy use of efficient
remedies. For over quarter of a
century, DR.. Sage's Catsrrh Remedy
has been the standard remedy. The
positive cures it has effected are
numbered by thousands. Each year
has witnessed an increased sale. It's
reputation is the result of superior
merit. II the disease has extended to
the throat or lungs DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be used with
Ca,srrh Remedy. These two medicines
will speedily cure the mos; stubborn

TeXJs murderer for hom large re-
ward had been offered. Particulars of
the arrest appeared in the Herald at
the time. Both men were confined in
Jail here. Several dispatches passed
between the chief police officers of
Omaha and Austin, Texas, regarding
the prisoners, establishing the identity
Of both beyond doubt. The first tele-
gram stated that Melasky was
under indictment for murder. and the
second stated that no appropriation
had been made for the officers expen-
SEE, and consequently that they could
not come for the prisoners. The third
dispatch repeated this fact, and Melas-
ky was released on a writ of habeas
corpus, even after having confessed to
the murder of three individuals.
Melasky's father is leading merchant
at Austin, and telegraphed the lawyers
here to draw on him for any sum
needed to release his son.
Reed murdered three soldiers at Fort
Griffin, Texas, two yeirs ago, while
they were attempting to arrest him.
He is twenty-five years of age. The

One Thing on which the Doct ors
All Agree.

: Doctors disagree about great many
things, but they are all of one mind re-
gardiDg Cod Liver Oil, as the only thirg
to prescribewhen the enfeebled system
refuses Co a bsorb and assimilate any
other kind of nourishment. Whatever
may be the cause of the patients lack
of vital force, whether it is con-
sumption, scrofuln, or the general de-
bility so often following malarial fe-
yer, this peculiar form of food is the
only known spec fic that rarely fails to
invIgorate the blood and solid tissue
of the Oody, and speedily averts the
dreaded process of decay. Yet people
turn from this benefcent means of pre-
serving life, because of its repulslve
TASTE. Thousands will rejolcs to know
that all Its valuable qualities are not
only preserved but multiplied, in the
pslat able mixture of Scott's Emulsion
of pure Cod Liver Oil with the Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda.

MR.. DRIsKILI., the stockman, has
invented portable machine for driv-
ing fence posts, which promises to be
of great practical benefit to this coun-
try. The hammer and uprghts for
raising 1t are attached to the rear part
Of wagon, and it is operated like an
ordinary pile driver. Mr.. Driskill has
tested the machine on his ranch, In the
southern part of this county, and it
works admirably, and does it is work
expeditiously, thoroughly and ecOnom-
icaily. He drives cedar posts four
feet four inches into hard ground at
an average Of post every four min
utes, while an ordinary hand would be
at least five times that long digging the
hole. Mr.. Driskill has already made
two machines, both of which were put
up in this city. A post thus driven in
the ground is much more solid than
one set in q hole by hand.

of the twenty-ffth inst. It was stu.
ated in the back part of our one-story

hottest part of the fire. Our books
were not in the safe, as we had re-
moved them before the store took fire.
After the fire we could not open the
safe by the use of the lock, aud had
it cut open by Mr.. Pierson. On open
ing it, the cabinet was blistered and
the veneriDg burned off. There was
some currency INSIDE the iron vault,
which was stuck to the iron by the

The Holman Liver Pad

Marks new era in the history of mec-
I zeal science. Heretofore, medical
/ treatment has been involved in such
obscurity, surrounded 10y such uncer-
tainty, and hedged about 5y so much
of mystery, strangeness, bigotry and in
| tolerance, at the hands of its prscti-
TONERS and disciples, as IN throw
around il and them the awesOme pres
encs akin 20 that which we feel when
dealing with the unseen realities Of
spiritual life aud beings. This intin-
ence led the community to place a.
III ISL unlimited confidence in the po-
tency OF the usual medical treatment
Of diseases, until the pains of suffer-
ing humanity have compelled them to
think for themselves. Tearing away
this veil OF mystery, the whole field Of
medication is found To be, at the best,
but the repeated Efforts of fallible men
to penetrate the darkness, uncertainty
and Confusion with which the whole
subject was surrounded from the be-
ginning: and the various Symphonic, "
or schools" of treatment, only the
crystalized forms OF these efforts.
With all the learning and science and
wisdom and experience of modern
times, the wisest and best physicians
acknowledge that the result of these
efforts sis neither philosophy or COM
mon sense" We might quote many
high medical authorities to the same
effect, and in much stronger language,
did space permit.
Il was left to an obscure drug clerk
in New York City, suffering for years
under the torture of malarial diseases,
to discover new, simple, safe and
effective method for curing diseases
without internal remedies, thereby
making bold departure from all pre-
vlous methods and throwing food of
light upon the obscurity which sur
rounded this difficult subject. The
pad has since been improved by scien-
tiic men.
The Holman Liver Pad, with its &C.
cessories and applications, is the out
come of this discovery-or, what it
seems to those who know its merits,
more like revelation-snd it came
none too soon. The people had lost all
faith in the thousand nostIums which
floed the market, claiming TO cure
something or everything, and, judging
from the statements of our patients
and many others IN every community,
the doctors-even the best-bad lost
very much of the cid confidence in
their, ministrations.
Just here, when all hearts were hop
ing and longing for something more
etfectual for the cure of disease, comes
this greatest discovery of modern
times, which fully meets the case and
promises to reYolutionize the whole
system of medical treatment.

which confirmed her suspicious, she

A MAN remarked yesterday that if
the Legislature really desires to curtsil
the expenses OF government it should
commence on the courts, where the
expenses are heavy aud the leaks fe L
full. He said that civil suits should be
tried by judges and justices and not
by juries, and that there should be a
limit to the number of witnesses allowed
30 testify In trivial cases. Recently in
this city about twenty witnesses were
summoned to testify about hog worth
not more than $3.50. Some legislator
should post himself thoroughly and
then introduce bill that would lessen
the expenses of courts and free the
people, to some extent, from intolera-
bic jury service. 1t also costs Alto
gether too much to try criminal cases,
aud &c put thieves and murders in
the penitentiary when convicted. The
common practice, too, of postponing
murder cases from court to court has
become very monotonous to all lovers of
peace and good government, and re-
form in this respect would be accept
able.
