EMPLOYMENT FOR LADIEs.--The Queen City
Suspender Company of Cincinnati, are now
manufacturing and Introducing their new
Stocking Supports for Ladies and Children
and thier unequaled Shirt Suspenders for
Ladies. None should be without them our
leading physicians recommend them, and are
loud in their praise. This manufacturing estab-
lishment is managed by ladies' who have made
the wants of ladies and children study, and
they ask US to refer them to some re-.
liable and energetic lady to introduce them
IN this county. and we certainly think that
an earnest solicitation in every household
would meet with ready response, and that
determined woman could make hand
some salary and have the exclusive agency
for this county. We advise some lady who is
out OF employment to send a postal card to
the Company, with address, and mention this
paper. Adde'S Queen City Suspender Com.

Grant Club.

The Madison Journal speaks our
mind in the following remarks, made
on the organization of a Grant Club
in that city:
mo one of the signers entertains
a higher regard for that distinguished
citizen, than does the writer of this
akticle; nor will any one of them
give General Grant a more cordial
support than will all connected with
the editorial management of the
State Journal, should he receive the
nomination of the Republican Ma.
tional Convention. We trust the
same will be the case with the sign
ers of this call, towards some other
man, should the National Conven.
ton present him as the Republican
candidate. We stand among the
number who clam that there are
other men than Grant whom the Re.
publicans can elect to the Presiden.
cy, and who will administer the
Government as benefcislly as he
will do 1t; and that the friends of
General Grant should hardly crowd
his nomination, unless tits demanded
by = large majority OF the masses in
the Republican ranks; that the Gen.
eral himself cannot afford to go into
scramble for the candidacy. as
seems evident he must do, to obtain
IT; nor do we believe he will permit
himself to 60 before the National
Convention in a doubtful contest
In case General Grant should be
elected President, we have entire
confidence that he would devote his
energies to the best interests of the
country, as his friends in this call
indicate. While We do not agree
with the members OF this Grant Club
as TO who should be our Republican
standard bearer in the coming cam
paign, we trust the organization will
prove the neucleus for Grand Re-
publican Club, that shall do valiant
and efficient service in the campaign
of 1880, and that all whose names
are made prominent by the publics
ton of this call will hold out in their
zeal, and be prominent workers in
the noble Republican cause until
victory is achieved in November
next.

ALEXANDER STEVENS and others
induced President Hayes to appoint
a Georgian named Simmons to be
Census Supervisor for that State
Senator Gordon objected. Failing
to produce any convincing reasons
to induce the Senate not to confirm
the nomination and to get the other
famous Georgian and ex.Vice Presi-
dent of the Confederacy to agree
with him, he said Simmons was a
bad speiler and to prove it he pro-
duced a letter in which Simmons
spelled "excellency" with but one |.
Thereupon the witty Stevens pro.
duced a letter from Gordon in which
speaking of the Senatorial contro-
versy about the U. S. Marshals, he
spelled controversy with an in the
last syllable (-sey) and put two rs
in marshal. One would think this
would wilt poor Gordon worse than
Blame wilted him. But probably be
IS made OF composition impervious
to this sort of criticism.

Wahoo. Neb. February 9th

wahoo, Neby February. 9th, 1880.
EDITOR HERALD II will endea-
vor to give the people of Grant
County short sketch of the coun>
try arc ind here. Wahoo is lively
little place of about 1900 inhabi-
tants, situated between Sand and
Wahoo creeks. 1t is q place in
which lots of business is done. There
are three elevators, and all have
plenty to do. A branch of the u.
?. Railroad runs through one side of
the place. Sand creek runs south
on the east of Wahoo, and west of
Sand creek the isnd is rolling (what
the people here call bluffs. They
are low hills. On the east of the
creek the land is very level; too level
to drain vel, but the subsoil is sandy
SO the land dries out quick after
heavy rain and the people that
have lived here a good many years
say that it stands drouth remarkably
well. In wet seasons there are some
spots too wet to work. 1t is quite
thickly settled around here; still
there is some wild land yet. Wild
land is worth $1,000 per acre. I'm.
proved land is worth from So 90 to
Sl5 90 per acre. The land here is
a black or rather gray sand loan
and seems to be very fertile. Far.
mers have pretty good quality Of
wheat and oats, but the corn I do
not think is as large as it is in south.
western Iowa. 1t goes from so to 60
bushels per acre. There is con sid
cradle fruit raised around here, such
as gooseberries, currants, straw ber-
ries and pie-plant and some others,
but not many apples. They have
the herd law here and for that rea.
son many do not keep much stock
for they have no fence. There ere not
81. rods of fence here on ], 900 acres of
land, and none except hog pens.
The climate here is pretty beslthy.
Can get water by going from Is TO
llS feet deep. Nest of the farmers
have bored wells. In the east side
Of the creek the water is good, but
On the west side 1t tastes strong of
ron. The country around here is
settled with motley selection.
There are Yankees, Bohemians,
Swedes, Danes, Germans aud EGG
Isb, principally old country men.
As this is my fra perhaps it is
ong enough, so will qui, until |
get further west, then il you see fit to
publish this, | will seud you anorher
giving a description of tho country
On the Loup river.

Another Pioneer Gone.

Died, at Hurricane Grove, Grant County, Wiscon-
sin. on the 10th of February, 1880, Samuel b..
Keene, in the SD year of his age.
Mr.. Keene was we'll known throughout
the whole county of Grant, and was much
respected as an en.erprising Intelligent man,
and good citizen. The whole neighbour
hood and circle of acquaintance, amongst
whom he had lived for nearly half century,
an i!among whom he died, unite in mourning
over the loss of much esteemed neighbor
"a warm friend and kind parent and an
honest man. Mr.. Keene was born in the
town of Homer, Cortland County, New York
on the II tn day of June, 1897. In the year
1920, he emigrated to the State of Indiana.
During his residence in that state he inter-
married with the eldest daughter of Doctor
F. Shattuck, in the month of September,
1923, and In 1884 with his family he re-
moved to Wisconsin, and, in 1897, to the
place where for AZ years he lived and where
he died. His wife died in August, 1899,
and is buried in the family burial place,
where, after many years, the long widowed
husband has now been laid, TO sleep with
her and those who must soon follow after
"that sleep, that can know no waking, until
that Last Great Day, when the ransomed of
the Lord shall return land to Zion shall they
come, with songs and everlasting joy"

a MEDICAL authority says that a
source of sore throat, very prevalent
at present, is the use of ice water at
meals. Many persons take their cof-
fee, tea, soups, meats and vegetables
very hot, and COO. the portsmouth,
and throst-by draughts of ice water
Immediately afterward. The frequent
alienation of extreme heat and cold
eventually Injuries the delicate struct.
ures subjected to al. Even when ice
water is used at proper times, it is
better to take it up by sips, which
should be allowed to remain few
moments in the mouth until the ex.
IRENE chill has passed off than to
pour it down the throat in . series
of continuous swallows. The inoT-
dina,e use Of alcoholic liquors is an.
other source of sore throat.

We have been heretofore disposed
to favor the proposition talked of
before our Legislature. to tax
churches and colleges. But we are
inclined at present to be cautious.
The Staas collects hundreds of thou.
sands OF dollars annually to educate
it's children and citizens. Is il con-
9istent for it TO turn upon the insti-
buttons supported by the individual
contributions of its citizens and tax
them ? The State does not build or
support churches, it is true, but it
builds houses of reform and of COR
rection, ard churches are built and
sustained with the object in view of
educating the people to have no
need Of such houses or of jails and
penitentiaries. Best not BIO hasty.
A little reflection makes the propo-
sition to "tax ell property equally"
looks crude. We. had stupid Post.
master General some years ago Gun.
der Grant, who conceived the idea
of making tho receipts of his de-
partment look large by requiring a
representative stamp to be put on
all the official business of the Gov.
ernment, not even excepting bis
own department. The result was
to considerable increase the labors
of the depaI tment, in fact of every
postmaster in the land, and to add
-~- . ~ - ',
without cent of profit. 1t might
be the same with taxing churches
and colleges. The revenue might
be augmented, but the uses for il
much more augmented, and when a
little practical expere nce would
wear away the trite corners of the
motto, "Tax all alike" we might,
like the Postoffice Departm ent, want
to see some sensible way of getting
back to tho common sense plan in
present vogue.
