To Whom it mag ConcerR:-This is to
certify, that my wife, Eliza Rice, has been
afflicted with a troublesome cough for
more than seven years. have expended a
large amount of money with the best ply
sicians in the county, and for the many
remedies advertised to cure all diseases of
the lungs, with but little satisfaction OF
relief, and she was daily becoming more
discouraged, and her cough growing worse.
1t had become apparent to me that some
thing must be done for her immediate re-
lief, or it would soon be too late. About
this time, January Is, 1879, DIR Whites
Pulmonaria was highly recommended to
me, and / at once purchased of our drug
gist, Mr.. J. s. Powell, six bottles for five
dollars, which was guaranteed to cure her
cough or money would be refunded. / am
pleased to inform my friends and the pub
lie generally that she was greatly relieved
by the first few doses, and continued to
grow better until she was entirely cured by
the use of this valuable medicine, 1t has
performed all that is claimed for it, and /
can cheerfully recommend it to all who are
afflicted with consumption, coughs, etc
My wife and myself can be consulted at
any time in regard to the abeve wonderful
cure. LEWIS RICE.

FULLY EXPLAINED.

Last week coat and some other articles
of wearing apparel were found on the riv-
er bank near Rapids City. From papers
found in the coat it was ascertained that
the clothing belong to Oscar Johnson, an
employee of the Buford Plow Works. II
was thought that the owner of the clothing
had placed the articles on the river bank
and had plunged into the water. The pre-
sumption, however, was brought to an end,
when it was ascertained that Johnson was
seen roaming around the woods in that
neighborhood. He was subsequently ar
rested, and taken before the County Court,
when jury decided that he was insane.
The disease was only of a weeks duration.

them. The baths are intended for sanitary

ona, which resulted in the death of tramp
who was stealing ride.
The train was propelled by an engine in
the lead, and one in the rear. The journal
of a car in the centre of the train gave way,
and the cars were forced forward, in
such manner as to cause
four or five of them to jump the track.
Four tramps were concealed in one of the
cars, and at the time of the accident they

of them succeeded, but the fourth, whose

1 DEAR STR am in receipt of your letter
I of the 18th inst. relative to "a difference OF
/ opinion existing among township officers
as to date of the expiration of the fiscal
year, touching school affairs in view of the
requirement of custodians to publish an
nual statement of 1881, page 1874. .
| As YOU will see by the enclosed circular.
which am sending out as fast as l can get
| it from the printer, / have fixed upon the
meeting of the trustees the first Monday in
April Tor rather the close of that meeting.
SO as to include in the statement the distrf
| butionso of the state fund, &C., made at that
meeting) as the date of the expiration of
| the township treasurer's fiscal year
| In choosing this date my aim was to
choose time when the treasurer could
make the statement with as little trouble as
/ possible, and also to fix time when the
statement would be of the most interest to
the people for whom 1T is made, and this is
| the way the case stood with me;
| The township treasurer, who makes the
reports to the trustees and directors and to
the county superintendent, called for by
law, must balance his books the first Mon
day in April, the first Monday in October
and June 30, each year
did not select the 30th of June for the
TcHS0H LIldl Tie report 10 Lie county super
intendent contains some things pertaining
ing to finances which will not properly form
part of the published statement; while in
the published statement some things should,
according to the spirit of the law requiring
the statement, be given more in detail than
they are in the report. Again, many treas
urerS think the report a burden at this sea-
son of the year and did not wish to put
any duty upon them now which seemed to
me could at least as well be done at anoth-
er season of the year.
From the statements made to the trust
ees and the directors in October and April,
each treasurer can readily make up his
statement for publication; for they will
contain everything that need to go into the
published statement. AS between Octob-
er and April | selected April for the rea-
son that that date is practically the end of
the treasurers year of office, and once in
two years the end of his term of Office; SO
that u statement in April will include usu
ally, only the business transacted by one
man. Furthermore. the publication of the
statement at that time will be of more in
terest to the people than at any other time,
for the reason that then, the election of
trustees and directors, and the appoint
ment of a treasurer once in two years, be-
ing near at hand, their attention is especi-
ally called to school matters.
/ trust that the date selected will be
found convenient. Very truly yours,
JAMES p. SLADE, |
State Supt. of Public Instruction.
