drunkenness Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when
a man has been cured once of some
infirmity or complication OF diseases
by the use Of our medicine, that he
knows good thing when he sees it.
1t is stated by those who know that
a monkey cannot be induced to par
take second time of any drink
which contains alcohol. 1t appears
as II the memory of the pangs and
tortures FIRST inflicted exert beneficial
influence upon the animal. Man is
quite different in this regard, and a
glance about us will show that num-
bers Of our friends and neighbors are
daily becoming worse by the use Of
intoxicants. This can be remedied
by the moderate use of we'll known
remedy called Peruna. If the medi-
cine is taken daily, the appetite for
liquor will be finally removed, and
the patient, no matter what his pre-
vious condition, will be restored to
sobrcty and to society. Yes Peruna
is great medicine, and should be
used by all. Send for it.

In a private letter received from
our esteemed friend M. L. Temple,
ESQ.,, Of Osceola, Iowa, he says in
reference to railroad matters: | see
you are again rejuvenating under the
influences of railroad boom-on
paper. / hope you may soon run it
in the ground-that is literally with
spade and pick. Two years ago we
voted $4,000 in aid of narrow
guage, called the Des Moines, Osceola
and Southern. Since that time it
has paid out at least $3.50, 900 in our
county, giving an impetus to build
ing in Osceola, SO that over $4,000
have been expended in permanent
building in Osceola alone, and at
least $4,000 more in dwellings. Now
as soon as spring opens the road is
to be widened to a standard guage.
1t is part of trunk line from the
Wisconsin pineries to Kansas City.
which will distribute at least 500, 900
more among US in this county. So
you see our bread cast upon the wa
tiers is returned many fold.

improving his immense building on
Walnut Street, formerly used as a

Twin Front" When finished it will
be one of the most complete and by
far the largest store room in town.
Mr.: Pickenpaugh is one Of our

aud always up with the times. When
the railroad boom strikes he will be
found ut tho head of the procession.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-''DAVY CROCKETT"
Mr.. Frank Mayo presented his popular play,
'Davy Crockett, at the Grand last night, and
although the play and actor had been seen here
scores of times there was good attendance, and
the performance met with a kindly appreciation.
1t is an excellent play, full of honest, natural
sentiment and with just enough sensational fea-
lures to heighten the interest Mr. Mayo's
''Davy Crockett needs no especial commenda-
SION, for it is generally recognized as one of
the most careful and best sustained
character representations known to the
stage. The support accorded by the company is
not especially good, the acting of Miss Sanford
and Mr.. Arnold being especially weak Mrs.

A New Cure for CorpuIence.

One of the most prominent claimants to the
title of trustworthy 'anti-fat" is the common
poke berry, botanically known as phytolacca
decandra Its merits are thus stated in the
transactions of the American Institute of Medi-
cine: The phytolacca decandra is an analogue of
mercury, iodide of potash, iris versicolor, podo-
phyllin, arsenic and other drugs. 1t is little
strange that vegetable remedy should be so
analogous in its action to the iodide of potash.
DR.. NJ. Milton, Of Dubois, Pa, gives his expert
ence with the remedy as follows: Three years
ago obtained supply of the juice and evapo-
rated it, by means Of sand-bath, to the con
sistency Of pill-mass, and, Incorporating it with
an inert powder, obtained it in a convenient
shape for administration Ny first case was a
patient weighing 247 pounds. After administer
ing it for fifteen days she was reduced to 19S
pounds. In cases of pure corpulence | have re-
lied on the phytoacca pills alone; but the re
suits were not as prompt in the above case.
A reduction of about fifteen pounds per month
usually followed their administration. The
preparations of the root and leaves are not with
out danger, and should be administered with
care.
