80 Reward.

As there has been story circulated BY some
untruthful low-liveG scamp and scoundrel for
the purpose of inJuring me or the sale Of my
seed corn, / know not which, that have been
selling seed at two different prices-75c and 81
per bushel for kiln dried cortland that told a
certain party that I had sold Is bushels at 75c
per bushel of said corn, now | will make an Of
fer of 80 to any party or parties that can prove
or will swear that l ever made such remark, or
that any party ever got any of said corn Of me
for love or money without its being contracted
for at least one month prior to date. And that
no man ever received more than he had contract
ed for. One dollar has been my price with one
and all with the exception Of one of my near
neighbors, who had done me favors enough
gratis that ! felt myself duty bound to do what
was right by offering it to him for little less;
and az he got his seed corn elsewhere there has
been no deviation I'm price. Judging from
the amount of seed corn l sell daily, the coumu-
nifty considered the source from which the story
came, as have sold 55 bushels in the last two
days at 81, and they are glad to get good seed at
that price. Now, let the man, If he is man.

Inportant Letter from j. r. Appleby,
Patertee Of the ".4ppleby' G'uia Binder.
Office Of the Minneapolis Harvester Works,
Minneapolis, MINI, May 1st, 1882.
/ wish to say to the trade aud to the grain grow
ers OF the United States, that many tunes before
and since Mccormick ct al. commenced their
suit have examined their patents with the best
patent lawyers and experts in the country, and
we are satisfied, as we always have been, that
they have no claim for an infringement. suits
of this kind have many times before been resort.
ed to by manufacturers Of competing machines,
thinking that they may gain some advantage In
this way. They are old, worn out tricks, and
have never prevented the latest improved and
best machines from pushing aside the old styles
and taking their places. A,acr7cda farmers gen,
erav 6y the machine ,chck they think wiN suit their
,urpose best, and American manufacturers have
always protected the farmer who has bought and
the agent who has sold their machines
wish to say further, that, Notwithstanding the
many false statements made by agents for other
machines, am giving my whole attention TO the
construction and improvement OF the MINNBAro

cause it is not true, and the public are being de.
ceived by such statements. have spent the best
part of my life in endeavoring to give to the farm

grain. The leading manufacturers OF the United
States, as we'll as OF Europe, and dealers ana
farmers, all admit that the machines built under

they are taking the place Of all others.

SELLS BROTHERS'
Six Enormous Railroad Shows, now United, Ex-
hibiting Under Six Big Tents

nlbltlng under Blk Big Ients.
The Sells Brothers are on the road this season
with an exhibition which, from its altogether
unprecedented magnitude and its startling dc.
parture from the usages Of canvas exhibitions,
should and will prove q formidable rival to the
best of the monster entertainments that perlodi-
caly visit It's. Having effected u consolidation
of all the amusement enterprises, they find the
necessity absolute TO use six tents In order to
satisfactorily display their multIorm attractions
These tents are each OF colossal construction and
number four more than have ever been used by
kindred exhibitions. The patronage Of this
great show has been commensurate with its mag
nitude, and the occasions are not infrequen,
when the management are obliged to give three
exhibitions day ii order to hold the people.
The parade, which is spoken of as one the fin.
est ever put on the streets, will introduce the
-Four Handsomest Women in America" who
have been selected in response TO liberal advcr.
tsing during the past winter and who will ap
pear in the new national tableau Of "Columbis
and her Court Of Beauty"
The consolidation OF the six extensive menage
ries under their control enables the Sells Broth
ers to offer for inspection geological collection
which has no precedent and which will include
number of recent impOrtations new to America.
Among these are an Aurochs from the forests o
Lithuania; an. Abyssinan Vlacke Varke and q
Malacca Babroussa. A pair of WOolly Elephants
from the Malay Archipelago will excite the at
tention Of the curious, and are the only ones ev
er brought from their native land. The monster
pair of Hlppopotami, exhibited through America
by this management last season, and which were
then believed TO have attained their full growth,
have reached still further proportions and are
still growing. 1t is confidently believed that the
female will soon add TO the hippopotami popula.
ton Of America.
The circus department i. exceptionally attrac-
tive, and within it are assembled the mostcebrat-
ed performers OF the day. The undsputed cham
pion bareback equestrian, Charles Fish, rides
both afternoon and evening; and the noted Anda-
lusisn celebrity, Signorita Adelaide Cordona, an
Iequestrienne who has no equal has been especi-
ally engaged from her European managers for a
limited season of twenty eight weeks. The show
will exhibit at Ottawa, Saturday, May 9th.

en- Clinton street is progressing finely. When
completed this will undoubtedly be the finest
chop in the county, having been finished in reg

pert. He will in q short time put in machinery
for manufacturing and will keep for sale sash,

selves OF the business advantages by paying cash
and receiving all discounts. A great many de-
vises are used for adver tsements. For illustra.
ton, A. T. Stewart Il Co., Of New York and Chi.
cago, are closing out their mammoth stock Of dry
goods At great reductions. We doubt If there is
. retail firm In the United States, from . fifteen
cent dry goods store up. but what have purchased
goods during the last ten days from !he above
firm, and all at the same low rates. Some small
firms have graspod the idea that 1t would make
a good advertisement for a leader; larger firms
will perhaps follow In the rear, but on larger

TO suppose that a large firm, with over three
times the expense, cannot compete with small
sr one at the same rate of profit and exist where
they do not, have not and cannot sell three times
the amount Of dry goods. Our motto has been
small profits and large sales, and we shall coz.
