we Arc CompeIled TO Doubt.

The Presidents physicians stated over and
over again SO many times that their patient was
not suffering from the swelling of the parotid
gland on the left side of the face that We began
to believe that it was so, although the story
did not sound exactly right. "The swelling Of
the parotid gland is painless" is the way it
read in the bulletins. The swelling continued,
however, until the surgeons were compelled to
use the lance, which they did by making an
incision half inch in length and half inch
deep, from which, perhaps, q half q thimbleful
of pus flowed. Forthwith comes the bulletin,
the inconvenience suffered from the operation
was slight and the relief obtained was consider
able" How the "relief obtained" could be
considerable =" while the affiiction was "pain-

surrounds the condition of the President

Getting at the r.ct..

A special from Washington to the Cincinnati
Commercial, under date of the 26th, says
plainly: "Secretary Blaine said, in discussing
the Presidents chances, that 1t was hopeless
case as far as human probabilities went. He
thought that he would finally sink into COM
atose state and linger perhaps twenty-four
hours before death ensued. The Secretary
hoped as long as hope was justified by reason,
but he refused to be party to the deception
practiced upon the public by some of those
who knew that the symptoms were worse all
the time than was given out, and has made the
most exact statements possible in all his dis
patches 1t was stated this evening, in this
connection, by person who should know some
thing about it, that misrep epresentation had been
a part of the treatment. 1t had been decided
deliberately by the doctors not to disclose
the worst features of the case, for the benefit
of the family, whom it was thought merciful to
deceive in the hope that after all the Presi-
dent would pull through. The result is, that
Mrs. Garfeld's hopes were kept up to such q
pitch in spite of the constant downward pro-
gress of her husband toward the. grave, that
when first told that the worst was imminent,
it was so great shock that she could not COM
prehend the gravity Of the terrible fact and
she stoutly refused to believe it.

LEARN TO TREAD WATER
New York Tribune,

While no instruction is r, quired to
tread water, it would be a good plan to
become accustomed to keeping the body
aaoat in this way, in order to over ONE
the feeling Of terror which people who
cannot swim experience on being thrown
into the water by an accident. A tack
with water of sufficient depth would an

to take care of themselves in deep watt
which is all that is net essary for person.
al safety.
The position of the person who treads
water is easier and safer than the sprawl
ing attitude assumed in swimming. The
difference betweed the two acts is hat
to swim is to propel the body through
the water by vigo- GUS movements, while
to tread water is merely to support it by
gentle movements in an upright position
so as to keep the head in the air.

CosTLINEss OF FOOD.

Thousands of persons, we might say
hundreds of thousands, in our great Re.
public, begin life poor, live poor during
life, and die poor, because Of exceeding
costliness of the food they eat. Think
o, eating butter at thirty.fve cents a
pound, when one can buy Indian corn at
fifty cents per bushel. One bushel Of
hickory nuts has moro oil in it than Eve
pounds of butter. One bushel Of Indian
corn has more nourishment it it than
two dollars worth of the best beefsteak
you can find. Ono barrel Of fine -four
of the entire wheat, has more nutriment
in it than three barrels of superfne
flour and fifty pounds of beefsteak, We
spend ever so much to live when it need
cost us but little, AMI our health be all
the better,

THE CASE IN BRIEF.


During the Senatorial contest last jan
uary, the moderate Half Breeds claimed
only thirty members of the Legislature
The most sanguine Half Breeds thought
it might be possible that they had 30.
The ballot in the caucus for nominating
Senator proved that their full strength
did not exceed thirty.
In the present struggle for the election
of Senators, the most pronounced Half
Breed candidate is Chauncy M. Depew.
In several of the recent ballotings Mr..
Depew has received from so to 55 votes.
This is 20 or 25 more than the full Half
Breed strength in the Legislature, es
shown in the contest of last January.
By what means did Depew get these
20 or 25 Votes2 Did he and his support
ers buy them directly or indirectly? :?
Not sensible man in the State believes
that Senator Sessions, an active Half
Breed, paid to Assemblyman Bradley, a
moderate Stalwart, $4,000, with the un'
derstanding on the part of Sessions that
in consideration of this sum Bradley
was to vote for Depew. Nobody who
has read the testimony, and know the
the two men, has any doubt that John |.
Davenport, fresh from Washington, Of

field to make this offer, and that if Stra-
han accepted the Office, it should be on
the condition that he would vote and
work for the election Of two Half Breed
Senators in the place of Conkling and
Platt. Testimony of the keonsture has
been given at Albany in regard to offers
of the same general character to other
members of the Legislature to induce
them to vote for Depew.
Looking at the subject in the light OF
these indsputable facts, can there be any
reasonable doubt that large proportion
of these 20 or 25 votes which have been
cast for Depew under such extraordinary
circumstances, were purchased with
money, or promises of Federal offices, or

Editor Review:
Fine weather again and farmers are
busy attending to the various duties
of the season.
Mr.. F. Mertz had the misfortune to
have a valuable horse drowned while
endeavoring to cross the Big Cotton.
wood one day last week.
Some are complaining that wheat is
beginning to rust quite badly. This,
we think, is the case only where the
ground is low and wet.
Many Of our farmers failed to get
their threshing done last fall; but are
now improving the time. We are in.
formed that the grain is not seriously
damaged.
The breaking season has now fairly
commenced and many are busy turning
the prairie sod, From the amount of
land already broken, we are persuaded
to thi1k that farmers are not yet en-
tirely discouraged.
We understand there will be match
game of baseball played near the
EQUAL Trap" next Saturday,
Our Assessor was around this week
attending to the duties of his office. It
is really surprising how property Of all
kinds has deprecated in value during
the past month.
Cattle buyers are again securing the
country and have succeeded in pur.
chasing good many head of young
cattle. A drove of Two hundred head
was purchased in this vicinity and driv
en- tOJ0wa last week.
Good health prevails in this township
at least we know of none seriously sick
at present.
