The Temperance Meetings at MahtomedI.

EDITOR TRANsCR1Pr:-Mahtom you
don't know how to spell it when you hear
1t, and don't know how to pronounce it
when you see it. The grounds are better
than the name. If a committee of experts
had gone hunting they could not have
found better for the purpose. The plan
of laying out the grounds was determined
by the topography Of the land itself. There
is probably not a straight street IN the
forty acres, at least l saw none. They wind
around the hills of which there are enough
for each lot-Owner to have one.
The Association owns three miles of lake
frontage and the shore is beautiful all the
way, nowhere very bold or abrupt, but a
rocky beach, from which the bottom
slopes gently, so affording excellent bath
ing places for amateurs. The pavilion
for the meetings is elegant, that is, it will
be when finished. AS yet it is but half
done. and the carpenters work upon it all
the time when it is not occupied by the
congregation.
The audiences up to this time have been
comparatively small, though if we had as
many people in Austin we should call
| them large.
Yesterday (Thursday) was the convcn-
good many of the third party friends
present, and as ours is non partisan
movement, to secure constitutional pro-
hibiti0n, we allowed them as we'll as Re-
publicans and Democrats, to share in our
| deliberations

the convention occupied the afternoon.

temperance meetings for the season.
Then begins the camp meeting, followed
by the Sunday School Assembly. That
name, however, is scarcely broad enough
to describe the assembly. It is kind of
summer school of science, held in a de-
lightful place. where instruction and rec
reation can be happily combined.
The mosquitoes out there have not good
manners, nor have they any regard to the
statutes of Minnesota, as they persistently
disturb the public meetings. The fish,
however, are very polite. A man caught
forty Thursday afternoon in little while.
It is said that "Mahtomedi" is Indian for
White Bear. If so English beats Indian
all hollow, for we can say in two syl1a.
bles what it takes them four to say. But
my theory of the name is, that the pro-
prietors simply saw Chautauqua and
determined to go them one better.
Yours, LArHRoP.

THE TRUE INTARDNESS OF TIE
THING.

Pure and rich blood is an acknowl-
edged necessity of both human and ami
NAL life. This is admitted by all medi-
dial men to be a self-evident fact. Many
of the ailments to which the human
family are subject are well known to be
owing to an unhealthy condition of the
blood. and how to remedy this state Of
affairs has for long time occupied the
minds of the leading lights of the medi-
cal profession.
Iron is a natural constituent of the
blood. and is to be considered as ne
cessity in enlivening this, the stream OF
life.
Tie effects of iron are best seen in
conditions of the system In which there
IS a relative want of activity in the
nerves and muscles. Under its use the
blood becomes richer the digestive or
gans are promoted, the pulse becomes
fuller and stronger, the skin assumes
healthy tint. the lips and cheeks grow
more ford, the temperature of the body
is increased. and the muscular strength
greatly invigorated.
The diseases in which iron is especial
Nv serviceable are those which come
from want of richness in the blood,
strength In the muscles and tone in the
nerves, such as weakness, inactivity,
depression, loss of appetite, dyspepsia,
Indigestion, neuralgia, hysteria, ETC.
The use of iron cannot be too strong
" urged. Physicians for a long time
have conceded that iron was absolutely
necessary, but the trouble has been that
It seemed impossible to prepare it so that
II would have no INJURIOUS effects Each
new discovery was hailed with delight
By the profession, only to be thrown
aside In short time as a failure, and II
was not until the discovery of Browns
Iron Bitters that iron was so prepared
that it would readily and thoroughly
assiInilate with the blood and would not
blacken the teeth, cause hea iache, con-
stipatioa or other evil effects caused by
every other iron preparation. Browns
Iron Bftters is made only by the Brown
Chemical Company Of Baltimore. and
contains no whiskey or other injurious
ingredients.
