Learn About the Pulse.

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
health; then by comparing it with what
it is when he is aiiing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his a Parents
should know the healthy pulse of each
child-as now and then a person is born
with a peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the very case in hand may be of that pc
culiarity. An infants pulse is 140; a
child OF seven, about so; and, from 20 to
60 years, it is 20 beats a minute, declin-
ing to go at ~four-score> A healthful
grown persons pulse beats 20 times q
minute; there may be good health down
to go; but, if the pulse always exceeds
20, there is a disease; the machine is
working itself out, there is fever or in.
flamation somewhere, and the body. i
feeding on itself; as is consumption when
the pulse is quick, that is, over 20, grad.
ually increasing, with decreased chances
of cure, until it reaches ITO or 120, when
death comes before many days. When
the pulse is over 20 for months, and there
is a slight cough, the lungs are affected.

DEATHS.

= HELEN M. CASE was born in Franklin
County, Ind, Jan. 10Th, 1887, and died
in Eaton, Ohio, Feb. 3rd, 1880, aged 43
years, and IL days. She united with the
Christian church of this place Dec. 21st,
1874, of which she remained an honored,
respected, devoted and consistent mem
Der until her death. For some four years
she has filled the office of church Trea-
surer with marked business capacity and
fidelity. During her long af1iction, (Con-
sumption) she bore her sufferings with
wonderful patience and sweet resigna-
ton, never a murmur or complaint es-
Gaping her lips. But her earthly sun
hath gone down at noon, while her hap
Ply and tranquil spirit hath flown to the
Eden Of love, and where her immortal
eyes behold the dawn of an endless day
while her devoted head is bedecked with
a crown of unfading glory. She leaves
four brothers and four sisters, with many
other kindred and friends to mourn their
separation from n 70 dear, and one SC
well calculated to benefit and bless the
world. The high esteem in which she
was held was evidenced by the immense
throng of weeping and sympathizine
the peace and blessing of God rest upor
all the friends, and especially the two
sisters, upon whom the stroke falls mos
heavily, because of the years of pleasant
and happy residence together. May
their bleeding hearts be bound up in the
love of Jesus and the prospect Of meet
ing her again. Funeral at the Christian
Church on the 9Th inst, by the writer

Consumption can be Cured.

In This changeable climate of ours
every one should remember that Wis
TAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY has
proven itself to be a positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, and
all lung diseases. II has saved the
lives of many even after all hope had
fed. Many Of our mostintelligent fam
lilies would as soon be without wooden
clothing in winter, as to not have Wis
taI's Balsam always on hand, for IL
never fails I o immedia, ely relieve all
soreness of throat and lungs. A single
dose taken at bed time will cause re-
.freshing slumber, and by morning an
ordinary cough or cold will be gone.
Ask your druggist and your friends
concerning the merit of Wistar's Bal
sam; and be wise in time. Price of
large pint bottle, $1.00. N. B.-None
genuine without signature of Sanford
g Park, on outside wrapper.
Remember we keep this excellent
remedy for sale at our drug stores in
PrebIe county, and do most cordially
recommend 1t to our customers and all
good people generally. 81

"The Great Boom"

Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
remembered as the time when all kinds of bust
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. Merchants are finding plenty Of
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and 1t Is acknowledged BY all that In no
part OF our <ountry are the evidences of prosper
ity and comfort SO marked as along the entire
line OF the "Oid Reliable" Hannibal d st Joseph
Railroad. And 20 attain these results the man
agement of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,
and the rapid growth Of business. and increasing
wealth OF the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.
We are, as usual, running In connection with the
Chicago, Burlington &souincy Railroad through

Very frequently men sign petitions in
favor of building pixies, locating bitches,
roads, etc., and then again sign another
petition demonstrating against the very
same thing they petitioned for. 1t may
be of interest to this class of individuals
to be informed that section 1887 Of the
revised statutes of 1880, MAKES A PETE
TONER LIABLE FoR COSTS, IF HE AFTER
WARDS SIGNS A RE~MoNsTRANCE WHEREBY
THE PETITION is DEFEATED. 1t will there
fore be to the interest of accommodating
individuals to be a little careful when
they petition for and demonstrate against
public improvements.
We have received from General Beau
regard, of New Orleans, the advanced
sheets of a work entitled advance and
Retreat, Personal Experiences in the
| United States and Confederate States
Armies" by the late Gen. j. B. Hood.
The book is printed from manuscripts
found among the private papers of the
deceased. The entire proceeds of the
book are to be devoted to the care, nur-
ture, education and support of the ten
orphans of the dead soldier; but ever if
this were not the object of the publica-
ton, such a book would be sure to prove
a success, financially. The "Hood Or
phans Memorial Fund" is the title of
the special charity in the interest of
which the volume viii be issued.
Any subscriber desiring to discontinue
taking newspaper, should always in
form the publisher, by letter or postal
card, of his wish, and it will be granted,
provided, always, that he PAYS LIKE AN
HONORABLE MAN, II AMoUN U to said
publisher, for value received. But don't
like a sneaking coward, seek to take adj
vantage of the printer, by ordering the
postmaster to return the paper to the pub
fisher marked refused, T" seeking in that
way to evade payment. There are some
mean, c-onscienceless men, but happily,
there are but few of this class, who sub
scribe for and take a newspaper, for two
or three years, and then refuse to pay a
cent therefor, but resort to sneak out of
honest dues, by ordering the postmaster
to give official notice to discontinue the
paper. When you want to discontinue
taking a paper, pay what you owe.
Earth's troubles past, her cares and
duties done, Gods peace rests upon the
grave of HELEN M. CASE, who was wide
ly known in this community as a lady Of
kind and gentle disposition. The "orna-
ment of q meek and quiet spirit was a
distinctive element in her character, and
although a long sufferer from the slow
and insidious disease of Consumption a
gentle spirit full of love and kindness
was constantly manifested in her daily
life. Sorrow, which too often embitters
the life of those thus afflicted, seemed to
have no power to mar the serenity of
hers, but served only to bring out in
greater clearness the true nobleness Of
her nature and her perfect trust in Christ.
The two bereaved sisters, with whom she
was so long and closely connected in life,
will sadly miss her, but kind words and
the sympathy of many warm friends will
in some measure assuage their grief and
pour balm into their sorrowing hearts.

The Council had a quorum last Mon
day night, but no business of importance
was transacted. Bids for taking care of
the Engine and Hall were received to
the number of five, but none accepted.
The lowest wa IS per week and the
highest $500 per year. It seems to US
that So per week would be a very fair
compensation for that job. Nothing was
said about the money illegally drawn
from the Corporation Treasury by the
eistern "bosses." That matter might as
well be attended to early, for delay will
not help it.
1t requires a wonderful amount of de-
vices and means nowadays to induce
people to patronize the Temples dedicat-
ed tot the Lord. The simple love of Christ
or fear of the Devil, don't make 'em shell
out very literally. Why is it thusly? In
our Sabbath school boyhood days, church
festivals, ~socials, oyster suppers, loan ex-
hibitions, donations, mush and milk and
neck-tie parties, p~ost-ofice receptions,
grab bags, and all such operations in
the interesto of the Lord, would have been
) hooted from the holy s~anctuaries as de-
t vices from emissaries of the Devil. Are
we becoming enlightened as to the means
required to gain favor with the Lord. OF
: why all these n~ew-fangled notions to keen
our churches in running order?

has been under construction since 1865,

stronghold of the fourteenth century.
The interior corresponds in the minutest
details with the outward design, and
the furniture is consistent with the style
of the fourteenth century SO far as the
exigencies of thepres9nt age will admit.
1t is two miles from Shannon, in County
