counter with one David Plat, Saturday of last
week, while attempting to move a family into
the house owned by Mrs. Cynthia Sargent, who
has become town charge. For some time
Mr.. Plat has had charge of the house and
objected to Mr.. Emerson's taking possession OF
the same, and when he proceeded to do so in
spite of objections, Mr.. Plat became SO en-
ragged that ne dealt Emerson blow upon the
back OF the head with the heaviest part OF a
large cane, completely disabling him for the
time. He was taken home in a fainting con.

Report comes from Washington
that the most obstinate tariff reform
ers are determined on pushing a
bill through at this session. The
report of secretary Mccullough of the
treasury has brought them to this
determination If both branches OF
congress would only work together
and give US some sensible legisla-
ton on this subject, it would do
much to get the country speedily

The Million. published by Henri

The Million, published by Henry
J. Philpott, at DesMoines, Iowa, is
devoted especially to tariff reform.
Every family in the northwest
ought to subscribe for a copy, and
every citizen who takes any interest
in politics ought to read it carefully
in order to be posted upon the one
great question now before the coun-
Try, the question of tax reform. Let
the protectionists take it, because it
will convert him of the error of his
way and let the tariff reformer take
it, because it will enable him to give
a reason for the faith which is within
him, and to demolish the arguments
advanced by the advocates of the
spoliation system. The Million is
published at the extremely low sub
scription price of fifty cents per
year. Address, Editor Million, Des-
Moines, Iowa.

induced TO try ATHLoPHoRos, after all the usual
remedies failed. In % minutes after taking the
first dose could bear my weight upon my feet
In two days was able to get about and attend
to business. In two other cases which have
come to my knowledge it, use has been attended
with the same results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had to Dor
row a dollar to buy bottle OF ATHLoPHoRos.
On account OF his poverty his name shall remain
a secret. He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
matism He gratefully writes:
81 took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, had
not sharp or severe ache left Then reduced
the dose onehaH and took the remainder of the
bottle. I was able to besteady at work till Sat
urday, when took a severe cold and was un-
able to use my left hand. purchased another
bottle and by bedtime found relief The
medicine is all you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRosa all you pleased
Find all the fault you choose with it !! and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu-
matism and Neuralgia.
