That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it, Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing

l looked over the banisters pa and ma and
the goat we're all in heap, and pa was
yelling murder, and ma was screaming fire,
and the goat was blattiog, and sneezing
and bunting, and the hired girl came into
the hall and the goat took after her, and |
she crossed herselfjust as the goat struck
her and said, "Howly mother, protect
me" and went down stairs the way we boys
slide down hill, with both hands on herself,
and the goat rared up and blatted, and pa
and ma went into their room and shut the
door and then my chum and me opened
the front door and drove the goat out The
minister, who comes to see ma every three
times week, was just ringing the bell,
and the goat thought he wanted to be nish-
iated too, and gave him one for luck, and
then went down the sidewalk batting and
sneezing, and the minister came in the par
lor and said he was stabbed. an d then pa
came out of his room with his suspenders
hanging down, and as he didn't know the
minister was there he said cuss words and
ma led and told pa he would 90 to hell,

kill that cussed goat afore he went, and I
told pa the minister was 10 the parlor, and
he and ma went down and said the weather
was propitious for revival, and it seemed
as though An outpouring of the spirit was
to be vouchsafed to his people aud none of
them sot down but ma, cause the goat
didn't bit her, and while they was talkin

CORRESPONDENCE.

BUFFALO PRAIRIE, Oct. 26, 1882.
When an old sinner of long standing in
vokes the aid of the Divine it is supposed
that he is about in his last throes.
A presiding elder is quite high in au-
thority and one of them has written one of
his subordnates, assuring him that Mr..
Morris is a man of temperate habits. Now
have much respect for Elder-and am
perfectly satisfied that if he knew of the
internal workings of this Morris business
that he would lend no helping hand, but
to the reverse would denounce it as hun
dreds of other republicans of the county
are doing. An old veteran stated yester-
day that he was compelled to vote for a
democrat something he had not done
since the days of Douglas He said the
manner in which this part of the county
was worked up was bad enough, and the
force that Morris had at work at it was
enough to d-n any man he continued, the
part of those fellows that this section
knows to their sorrow, would prefer to
run over the country and lie for fifty cents
per Gay than go to work at five dollars
per day.
From what can gather l think you can
chalk up something like $50 majority for
Reticker in the three lower towns.

TEE cHIcAoo RA1LRoAp WAR.

The Chicago Tribune is of opinion that
the troubles which have been existing be-
tween the Rock Island and the Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroads regarding the busi.
ness from st. Paul and Minneapolis to the
East will soon result in open and bitter
war. 1t is claimed that the cutting of
rates is no longer confined to the passenger
business, but that freight rates are also be-
ing cut. The Rock Island, it is claimed,
is getting the bulk of both the passenger
and the freight business, and in conse-
quence the Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Northwestern people feel rather sore.
Open hostilities would have been COM
menced before now but for the fear that
such action would endanger the North
western traffic agreement, and result in the
breaking up of west-bound rates also. In
order to avoid general break in north
western rates another effort will probably
be nlade within few days to secure SET
Element of the difficulties. But as the Mil
waukee 6 st. Paul and the Rock Island
people both refuse to make concessions, it
is hard to see how war can be prevented.
The Rock Island people emphatically de-
clare that they will accept no less than one
third of the Minneapolis business. if they
have to fight until doomsdaY. The Mil
waukee & St. Paul people with equal
emphasis declare that they will see the
Rock Island in Hades before they will allow
it anything near that amount. The fear is
generally expressed that the difficulties be-
tween these roads cannot be adjusted with
out resort to war,

LETTER FROM SWEDEN.

Mr. Alb. Westergren, young broker
and member of the Board of Trade of the
city of Stockholm, Sweden, writes his
friend Mr.. Carl Hydren of this city, in a
letter dated the 5th of October, that the
summer of 1882 was the finest he can re-
member and the fall is equally agreeable.
At the date of the letter the thermometer
ranged 900 Celsius 6So Fahrenheit, and
he says that the happy inhabitants of the
'Malarqueen,' as the Swe .es name their
capital, were yet enjoying the pleasure OF
fighting the daughters of Kgir, = in Lake
Malaren.
The crops Mr.. w. reports as excellent
and the harvest weather has been thor
oughly suitable, so that there are prospects
of good business in the coming winter

ing of Sunday, November 5. 1t will con-
sist mainly of q concert by the Arion
