WE WISH our readers to take motto

We WISH our readers to take notice,
Especially such as contemplate supply
ing themselves with homeopathic
medicines or books, that Messrs. Boer-
icke & Tafel's is the largest establish
ment of this kind in the world, as we'll
as the oldest in America, the business
being founded in 1885. There is no class
of goods in which SO much depends
upon the individual reliabilities of those
preparing them as in the homeopathic
line, and for such testimony they simp-
ly refer you to your homeopathic fami-
ly physician. Their address is: Boer-

A FREAK OF THE FLOOD.
A Farmer Loses Forty Acres OF Land,
and Neighber Is Ten Acres
Ahead.

A Farmer Loses Forty Acres OF Land,
and a Neighber Is Ten Acres
Ahead.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the strangsst freaks of the
food Is reported from Whitewater
river, few miles above Lawrenceburg,
where Farmer Hunt lost forty acres of
land, and his neighbor, Fred Ne ghouse,
had barren and rocky mill site con-
verified into ten acres OF as rich land as
the fertile valley affords. The land
along the Whitewater is as rich as any
in the west. An acre of ground here
is an independence for gardener, and
ten acres are little less than bonanza.
During the food the Whitewater bot
toms were overfewed for miles along
the stream, and the extraordinary
height of the water created currents
that had never been known before
Since the subsistence of the flood it has
been found that forty acres of Farmer
Hunts richest soil has been carried
away, leaving that portion of the farm
practically worthless until restored by
system Of tillage and fertilizing. Fred
Newhouse, who recently removed to
the Whitewater bottoms from Aurora,
owned a mill site just below Hunts
farm. Newhouse's property consisted
of ten acres of rocky and barren land,
unfit fer farming purposes. A portion
of this was large mill-poEd. The mill
pond is now filled to the level of the
breast of the dam with the richest soil
IN the valley, and Mr.. Newhouse's re-
naming acres of unproductive rocks
are covered to the depth of several feet
with the same rich deposit. Instead of
being loser by the food, he is ahead
the value of ten acres Of Whitewater
valley land, which, when there is any
of it in the market, commands from
5000 to $500 an acre. Mr.. Newhouse is
q fine practical miller, and the whole
neighborhood just now is put to great
inconvenience by the temporary shut
ting down Of his mill. off it were not
for the annoyance and delay of chang
ing ny mill from wat er to steam power,
for am left without DAM" said Mr..
Newhouse, 81 would laugh at my

When Mr.. Blaine saw this room he
was so much overcome by esthetic en-
thusiasm that ne telegraphed at once
to Washington to have the dining room
in his new house made after the same
fashion. In his cooler moments, how
ever, when he came to discuss the
matter financially with mis- architect,
and found it would cost $50 ,0e0, he is
said 10 have uttered an exclamation,
naming place which is not recognized
on Bob Ingersolrs chart of the universe,
the estimate for his entire house not
having exceeded this amount.
On the SECOND floor of this house
there is an elegant suite of rooms
which are finished in stainwood, carved
and decorated in the same style as the
dining room. When the visitor en-
tiers house fourteen, however, he is in
troduced into the very elysium of lit
erary taste, combining the ornamental
and useful in something akin to per-
lection, giving one the idea that Mr..

This species of fraud has been so

KEIFER's removal of an official
stenographer, to make room for his
nephew, has a sequel. There are two
official stenographers for the house,
appointed by the speaker. They were
Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Tyson, the latter
being removed. A friend of Mr.. Daw-
son says:
The whole history of that transac-
ton has not yet been made public.
When Keifer had determined to re-
move Tyson. in order to make place
for his nephew, he sent for Dawson
and told him that he would be expect
ed to divide his own salary with Mr..
Tyson until the meeting of the next
congress. Dawson said that this was
great surprise to him and would
greatly embarrass him, for he
had entered into financial obli-
cations with the expectation of receiv-
ing his own salary during that period.
He asked time to consult with some
of his own friends.
"The speaker grutfly informed him
that no time could be allowed, that
the matter must be settled at once,
and that Mr.. Dawson could take his
choice: Divide his own salary with
Mr.. Tyson or hand in his resignation.
OF course under the circumstances
Dawson decided to take half loaf
rather than get no bread.
1.-THE transaction came to the
knowledge of the discussing clerk of
the house yesterday, and he said that
if Mr.. Dawson did not receive the full
salary it should remain in the treas
ury, as he was forbidden to recognize
any such arrangement as that made
by the late speaker. Before paying
any money he will require full state
ment and have full understanding
with regard to it,"

IF special department be provided
for managing the school lands of the
state, it would be wise for the selec-
ton of a chief to be intrusted to some
other agency than the proposed board.
1t would really carry out a one man
idea, while this idea would not be
based upon any proper conception of
conditions attending the labor
to be performed. The gen.
eral land commissioner, until
the people could decide the question,
should be the director of this branch
of the public service. Responsibility,
placed on his shoulders, would lead to
proper selection of chief to look af-
ter this business. In the meantime the
legislature might present the people
with a proposed constitutional amend
ment. establishing an executive officer,
to be known as the school fund commits
sioner. Such an amendment should
certainly be adopted. Until such ex-
ecutive officer could be elected and
installed. the land commissioner
could name chief, who would be
his subordinate. to take charge of the
school lands. By this plan the de
partment would be efficient, while by
the board plan incompetency and fail
ure could be anticipated. Matters
already point that way under bare
anticipation.
