AmputatiOn of The Leg.

Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or a fool viii affect to despise it.
MIR. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
county, N. y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole of his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, TO death as his only
delverer. The family physicians refused TO
amputate the limb, asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. Or.
DaBid KENNEDY, of Rondout, n. Y, who
was consulted, held a different opinion and
amputated the limb. The Doctor then adj
ministered freely his great Blood Specific
FAVORITE REMEDY TO afford tone and
strength to the system and prevent the return
OF the disease, and Mfr. Ellsworth remains TO
this DAY in the bloom OF health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring Of foul blood,
and Kennedyis FAVORITE REMEDY puri-
lied the blood and restored to him the power
once more to enjoy his life. Are you suffering
from any disease traceable to the same cause9

To Keep the Blood Pure is the principal
end Of inventions and discoveries in medicine.
To this object probably no one has contributed
more sgpally than DR.. David Kennedy, Of
Rondout, n. Y, in the production OF a medi-
cine which has become famous under the title
of the "Favorite Remedy" 1t removes all
impurities of the Blood, regulates the dis
ordered Liver and Kidneys, cures Constipa-
ton, Dyspepsia and all diseases and weak
nesses peculiar TO females.

er standard of intelligence and NOR
ality. How ever commendable such
an agency might be, it would have re-
quired a generation or more, TO bring
that deiuded people to the abandonment
of their fanatical attachment to Nor
monism. The Edmunds law" so
called, enacted by Congress. has lately
been fully tested, and is found to
reach results which have long been
sought.
One of the great difficulties in secur-
ing convictions under the law of Con-
gress has been that Mormon juries
would not convict. The polygamists
have heretofore insisted that believers
in that practice have right to sit on
juries when the question of polygamy
is involved. The Supreme Court has
recently decided that the right of a
man to be tried by his peers" does
not mean the right to be tried before
those who are guilty of the same
practices. That is common sense. A
jury who believe that horse stealing is
right would have no business to sit as
| jurors ON the trial Of a horse thief.
An amendment to the law provides
that if a man is found living in mari
tai relation with more than one wife,
| he shall be liable to fine and imprison-
ment. Convictions have been had un-
der this provision, and the Mormon
plural wife men have become thor
oughly alarmed. Other provisions of
the law which have been contested by
Mormon leaders have been passed up
on by the Supreme Court and declared
constitutional. 1.-The Saints" have
now been driven into such close quar-
tiers they will have to do one of three
things-resist the United States au-
thorities by violence, submit, or lea We
for some other country.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN
WYOMING.

The question Of Woman Suffrage
being before a committee of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, the Hon. F E.
Warren, the present Governor of Wy
oming. happening to be in Boston. was
requested to give his views of the
workings of Woman Suffrage in Wy
oming, made report, of which the
following is an extract:

tory ever since its organization, and

mo REMOVAL FROM OFFICE
RECEIPT FOR CAUSE"

It is beginning to be better under
stood what is meant by "no removals
except for cause" During the first
weeks of Cleveland's administration ii
was construed to mean incompetency
inattention or neglect of the duties of
Office, gross immortality, and such like
offences. Free expression of opinion
on all proper subjects, including po--
litical, was never intended by the
trainers of civil service rules to place
office holders under the ban. Presi-
dent Hayes declared in favor of civil
service, but insisted it was not intend
ed to interfere with free speech, and
that government officers were privi-
legged to speak and write as they saw
fit, being amenable like all other per-
sons for unjustifiable language. This
is the common sense view of what are
called the rules of civil service. The
character of our free institutions will
never tolerate any President or his
Subordinates in putting a constructive
paddock on the mouths of those hold
ing appointments under the govern
ment; any attempt of that kind is a
clear violation of the spirit of consti-
tutious, both state and national.
The sudden removal last week, with
out previous warning, of Mr.. Palmer,
Postmaster of Chicago, came like a
thunder clap in a clear sky. 1t was
not publicly known that complaint had
been preferred against MI. Palmer:
his term of office would not have ex.
pired until 1889. The New York
post-office and the Chicago Office are
the two most important in the coun-
try. The Postmaster of New York is
Republican; he performed the duties
of the Office W ell, and was recommis-
stoned by Cleveland only a few weeks
ago. This was regarded a triumph for
civil service, and was put to the credit
of the administration. The Chicago
Postmaster has discharged the duties
of his Office as faithfully as the New
York Postmaster, Postmaster Gener-
al Villas gives Mr.. Palmer the credit
of doing the work of his Office we'll

ton calls it, is, he was supporter of

THE PROFESSIONS.

Do the professions of the ministry, of
medicine and of law keep pace with
the increase Of population? The adj
ditions to the ministry fall far behind
that of the other two professions. The
demand for educated ministers. es-
pecially in the West. is not supplied.
Young men do not appear inclined to
enter the ministry, for the reason the
pecuniary inducements are not tempt
ing. Many good men believe the
6 laborer is worthy of his hire" and
are naturally swayed by the considera-
tions of comfortable living. In the
medical profession there is an over
supply. This is evidenced by the fact
that wherever 1t is understood there
is fair vacant field for the physician
it is quickly occupied. If the people
of any community cam be saved from
disease and untimely death by doctors,
there are enough of these helps within
reach. AS a business of profit there
are times when the doctor has greatly
the advantage of the minister. When
a fearful epidemic prevails, or season
of general sickness, then is the doctors
harvest. Such is not the case with
the minister. He spends time visiting
the sick, but custom does not allow
him to ask pay for attentions to the
suffering, whether rich or poor.
AS it respects the occupation of the
law, it is surprising how many young
men are studying, with view of MAX
| ing that profession their business. In
the academies and higher institutions of
learning far more students are making
| the practice of law their ultimate aim
than any other calling. This is the
NOR strange, as no other profession is
so largely over-stocked as the law; be
sides the fact is patent that of every
ten lawyers, two or three get the most
important and best paying cases. Is
this passion for the legal profession
based on the belief that litigation will
increase as the world grows older and
better educated? Is it not reasonable
to conclude, that with the advance.
menG of intelligence suits at law will
decrease? The following statement
appeared not long since, giving the pro-
portion Of lawyers to the population:
Gin Germany. one to every $500; in
France, one to every 1900; while in
America there is one lawyer to every
800 of us, and they are growing in
numbers faster than the Nation is
growing in population"

DECORATION DAY.

The annual decoration day will soon
be here. 1t is noticeable that prepara-
tons are being made in many localities
In this state for a suitable observance
Of this anniversary. Decoration day
in this place, if it has not gone by de-
fault here for some years past, has re-
ceived but little attention. This ought
not so to be. The memory of those who
periled their lives and fell in defence
of our country in the days of its great
extremity should not be easily forgot
ten. The people owe it to the cause of
patriotism to transmit the memory of
the dead soldiers in our cemeteries to
coming generations.

Blaine, of which fact he made no con-
cealment. He doubtless gave express
sion of his preference for Blaine more
freely than did the New York Post
master, who was also Blaine Repub-
iican. The appointive policy will
probably now be changed; the work
of decapitating Republican Office hold
ers has been moving too slow to satisfy
the Democrats. a new Interpretation
must be given to removal for cause.
Those who have been outspoken and
expressed their sentiments too freely
on political matters must be brought
to the block. If this new departure be
be adopted, nothing will hinder clean
sweep of all Republican government
officials now IN office. This is just
what hespoils wing of the Democratic
party has demanded from the first.

OBITUARY.

Died, in Somers, on Wednesday. Nav
9th, 1885, Mr. Jacob P. Bishop. aged "
years. Mr.. Bishop was born in Wash
ington county, N. Y. He came to this
county in 1887, but did not remain. He
went to Milwaukee in 1889, and bought a
half section of land where the Western
Union junction NOW stands. He also pur-
chased, IN company with William Smith,
one of the early citizens of Somels, $50
acres of land where a good portion of
the city of Milwaukee is now located.
The foregoing property was sold at a
good profit. but before its real value was
developed. He became a permanent
citizen of Somers, August, 1S41. He
dealt largely in real estate, bought and
sold much valuable landed property.
He settled up his real estate affairs last
year, at which time he was the owner of
$40 ceres, mostly in one body in the town
of Somers. Mr. Bishop was man of
quiet manners, unassuming, man of
reading and general intelligence, and
was accounted good and enterprising
citizen. In respect to religious
matters, In his early life he became a
member of the Society Of Friends in
Ohio, and has remained in sympathy
with that order ever since.
When an old citizen dies, we are led to
reflect, how changeful are the scenes of
human life. One day we see carried
along the coffined infant, the next the
young man or woman, prematurely
stricken down by the arrow of death
while In the bloom of lifes activities.
And now we follow to the grave one who
has lived more than the years allotted to
man. How natural for his friends and
neighbors to discourse of the varied
changes through which he has passed
during his sojourn on earth. Perchance
be has seen families rise to opulence
and sink to poverty and obscurity. He
has seen the country around him under
going transformations new genera
ton has come on the stage, and the old
er one carried to the grave. Ere hi
crossed the silent river, different PEG
pie occupied the neighborhood around
him, perhaps strangers. Such is the
ever-moving procession of humanity
Zone generation passeth and another
gereration cometh the great inn where
they tarry little while is vacated, anG
replenished by succeeding pilgrims"

THE PROSPECTIVE ABOLITION
OF POLYGAMY.

The long perplexing question how to
rid the country of the disgrace of
polygamy seems at last to be solved
Various plans during past years have
been suggested, but none of them were
found adequate to the accomplish
ment of the desired end. Among the
extreme measures proposed was the
suppression, or determination, of the
polygamists by the employment of the
army. This would have been imprac-
ticable. Another and a milder meth
cd urged was vigorous movement
for the education of the people of that
Territory, bringing them up to a high.

A LBNTENT CITY COUNCIL

The City Council, at the late meet.
ing, voted to give those to whom liquor
licenses were granted, six months
credit for payment of one-half the
license fee. This kind of favor has
been asked for in other cities. but has
generally been refused. Our City
Council was not allowed to show in
diligence to saloon keepers by granting
less than $500 license. so it was
deemed proper to show the liquor deal
els little leniency. Perhaps the
treasury was thought to be flush, and
the city having no particular use for
money, while at the same time the
liquor dealers might be in need OF
funds to lay in stock of the ardent

A gentleman of this city, who spent
some time in st. Petersburg during the
reign of Nicholas, relates of that irasci-
BILE monarch that he once entered the
drawing room of the Winter Palace,
where the other members of the imper-
ial family were gathered for the usual
evening tea-drinking, with terrible
scowl upon his face, and when the En-
press instantly arose, and, not regarding
his black looks, offered him cup of tea,
he fiercely dashed it from her hand to
the floor. With no sign of emotion she
filled second cup and presented it to
him. Now the cloud had passed, and
he accepted it with charming smile,
and bestowed kiss upon the hand that
offered it. The cause of his rude beha-
vior in the former instance was a sus-
picion that the Empress had been med
ling with some political affairs.-NeO

WHEAT CROP PROSPECT.

The fields of winter wheat have been
bare of snow long enough to judge of
the prospect of crop. The damage
complained of is the winter killing of
the frost. The season has now so far
advanced that the ext ent of the injury
can be determined. Rain and sunshine
cannot restore to life the dead plants.
Facts carefully collected from almost
twenty states are published in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. A condensed state
ment of the whole is given in that
journal as follows:
"The reports as a whole show the
winter wheat crop to be in very un-
promising condition; and notwith-
standing the recent rains and warm
weather have given the plant a better
appearance, no improvement can be
reported in the promise of the crop.
On the contrary, the good weather h rs
developed the actual damage done by
winter killing and other causes. Thous-
ands of acres in large winter wheat
producing States have been plowed up
and sown to oats and other grains.
The decrease in area and other damage
done by winter killing seems to be
general in all the winter wheat States
with but one exception, that of Michi'
gan. That State reports but slight
decrease in acreage sown, and no Win
ter-killing whatever. or damage of
other kind. With this one exception
the loss to thu winter wheat States is
the greatest ever known, and will
prove serious blow to many of the
States that depend largely upon their
wheat product"
The Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture at Columbus, Ohio, after
stating the damaging prospect of the
winter wheat in that State, says:
From official and other kilograms
and letters, estimates of the probable
wheat crop in twenty other States, the
estimated shortage is 150.221.019. 1t
seems now probable that this years
crop is to be the most disastrous failure
for ten years."
Should there be large acreage of
spring wheat sown, and the season
prove favorable, it would help to re-
lieve the shortage of the winter wheat,
but this is only conjecture.
