What has Skepticism done for the world?
Nothing but to suggest doubts 1t has even
suggested that Rheumatism cannot be cured.
SkepuciSm is as bad as Rheumatisln.
What has Science done for the world?
A good many things; for instance, it has
shown that Rheumatism can be cured.
1t has shown that Neuralgia can be got rid OF.
Modern science hasprovedt that Rheumatism IL
a blood disease, and has provided ATHIOPHORos
as the remedy which can completely cure it.
1t has proved that although the old doctors
failed to overcome Neuralgia, ATHI0PH0ROs can
reach it, and eradicate 1t from the system.
1t has proved that though these tOrmenting
diseases were so slow and obstinate, they can
be overcome in a little while by means of

The Secret Of Wealth,

Brokendown invalids do you wish to
gain flesh, to acquire All appetite, to Ell
JOY u regular habit of body, to obtain
refreshing sleep, to feel and know that
every fibre and tissue of your system is
being braced up and renovated. If so
commence at once u course of GOLD
EN- SEAL BlTTERS. In one week
you will be cOnvalescent. In month
you will be well. Don't despair be-
cause you have a weak constitution.
Fortify the body against disease by
purifying all the fluids with GOLD
EN SEAL BITrERS. No epidemic
can take hold of system thus fore
armed. The liver, the stomach, the
bowels, the kidneys, are rendered dis
ease proof by this great invigorant.
RuinOus bills for medical attendance
may be av Jided by counteracting the
first symptoms of sickness with these
Bitters. They are recommended from
friend to friend, and the sale increases
daily. We warrant a cure They are
positive cure also for all female COM
plants. In these diseases they have
no equal. Take no others. Sold by

On yesterday, A. g. Goehrend, the
Baldwin butcher, purchased two OF as
fine dressed calves rs were ever brought
to market. They came from the Carr
Settlement. One sold for $21, aud the
other Sl8. The calves had been given
the milk from the cows and were In
prime condition. Here Is another In
stance of what may be done here In the
way of cattle raising, where there Is
such large free range. Asmall drove
of fifty such calves would be little for
tune made In four or five months. 1t
cannot be denied that the plains of this
county are superior to the prairies of
the West for grazing stock. There y
plenty Of wild grass, and considerable
tame grass Is Also, rapidly viking In
with 1t. The best and purest of water
sbounds; with plenty Of underground
for shade and refuge from flies during
the long hot days of Summer. What
more could be asked for? A look at
the cattle one finds grasing on plains
Is enough to show that they fatten and
thrive. The problem of ":wintefffig"
the stock Is being solved, since 1t has
been shown that clover can be produced
even on the uplands, and corn fodder,
rutabagas and CARROTS. Besides, there
are hundreds of acres of river bottom,
well adapted for grass lands. If there
is any one thing that we think we can
see our way clear to encourage farmers
OH the plains i'm doing 1t is raising stock.

Big Rapids Current: A lad named
Edward Price, while out hunting just
east of the city one day last week, was
pounced upon, unawares, by n wildcat
with steel trap hanging to its leg.
1t jumped OH Lis back and was about
to begin its meal when he pointed his
gun around back of him and blew of
the animals head. The skin Of the cat
is OH exhibition at Lovejoy & Herrick's
grocery, and the boy Is alive and well,
rejoicing at his fortunate escape and
the good luck he had In bagging game
that day.
There Is ready demand--a good
market for every pound Of farmers pro-
duce III this region; the amount con-
sumed, ut present fur exceeds the home
supply. THIS points out the reason
why our farmers should make every
effort to raise the amount necessary to
ut least supply the home demand. At
present too much is imported. There
never can he proper degree Of pros
pcrity until the great excess Of imports
IL overcome.

HoW one Woman Earned a Gold Watch,

IT is not every day that lady can
earn fine gold watch in six days, and
attend to her household duties besides,
but we know of one lady who did, and
how others may do 1t too, If they begin
now. In September, clergyman's
wife, Mrs. Rev. J. A. Brown, Pitts
burg, Wis, wrote to a popular sub
scription- book house buckeye Pub
fishing Co., Minneapolis, Minn.), that
she needed y gold watch and wanted
to earn 1t by selling their useful books,
the value of which she knew. They
replied making her u special offer, and
she earned the watch in so short q
time, and the watch was so handsome
that many who saw IL and learned
how It was earned, wanted to earn one
too. To answer the flood of cores
pOndence, the publishers printed q cir
cular, and now make the offer general,
limiting the time to January 1st, 1885.
The circular with full explanations
will be sent free to any address on ap-
plication to BUCKEYE PUBLISH
ING COMPANY, Minneapolis, Ninn.

THE SHOOTING OF THos. RYAN.-In
our issue of last week, we made men,
tion of fatal shooting affair ut Nor
way Hall, last Thursday.
Chss. Winn, who fired the fatal shot,
is fair looking lad, l6 year of age, and
follows working In the lumber woods.
He had been working for Palmer &
Nichols, and boarding at Ryan's, who
was his step father. Mrs. II. had three
boys by her first husband, who went
to Kentucky some 3 or 0years ago, and
has not been heard from since. The
youngest boy Is about ~, and Charles
Is tile Oldest.
Ryan was large man, weighing
sohie 200 pounds, and about 40 years of
age. He married Mrs. Winn two years
ago, and they have lived at Reed City,
where airs. II. owns a place.
The trouble with Ryan was 1--we of
strong drink, aud on the day previous
to his death, he came home intoxicat-
ed. At about midnight he came into
the house and endeavored to pick q
quarrel with young Winn, who was In
bed. He was very abusive, but Winn
would not quarrel with him: Ryan
finally went to bed, but was noisy and
troublesome the balance of the night.
In the morning, further trouble took
place; Ryan threatening Winn, and
driving Mrs. r. out of doors, with her
bare feet. Winn demonstrated, but to
no purpose. Ryan then allowed the
woman to come back into the house, !
when she put on her shoes and sat by
the fire. Ryan again began abusing
her, and she went over to one of the
neighbors. He followed, and drove
her from there, striking her. Winn
felt that he was pOwerless, as Ryan
was SO large and strong.
Mrs. r.. then determined to leave her
husband and return to Reed City; and
while he was In the saloon she packed
up the effects belonging to her. Here.
again, Ryan interfered, kicking some
pictures and looking glass out of her
hand and smashing them.
About o'clock Ryan met Winn In
Palmer & Nichols store, and again
began theatening him. Winn would
not fight, and warned Ryan of, telling
him he had q loaded revolver and that
he should defend himself. Ryan adj
vanced; the boy fired. Ryan, without
a word, staggered against the counter,
half hung there All instant, on one ell
bow, and dropped to the floor, dead, a
ball through the heart
Young Winn went to Chase, that
evening, and gave himself up; aud Is
now in Jail, awaiting trial at the next
term of court; and where we listened to
his recital of the tragedy, this morning.
