Rev. A. Barber, su%peranuate member of st.
Louis Conf. NJ. E. Church, writes from Moran,
Kansas: "This recommendation is written
without solicitation from anyone; but | owe it
to those similarly afflicted to say that by the
use of the Shaker Extract of Roots (SiegePs
Syrup | was cured of an obstinate and al
most fatal indigestion-both stomach and liv-
er being completely torpid. l was reduced to
a living skeleton. Friends, family and ply
stefan had given me up. l was keeping the
spark of life alive with a diet of raw eggs and
milk. Now both stomach and liver are per-
forming their functions. have many friends
in Western Ohio, N. E. Iowa and S. W. Mo.
who would like to know this"
THE HONEST SHAKER, although he does not
boast of his purity, always makes goods that
can be relied upon; for instance, his Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup is really a
valuable article. 1t is not recommended as a
cure-all, but as a remedy for one single dis
ease, viz: Indigestion, in which disease it
works like a charm. [aug6-1m

Circular to the Farmers.

The Ohio State Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, with headquarters at
Cincinnati, has issued the following circular
to farmers:
The farmers of the State are earnestly re-
quested, when they thresh their wheat, to con-
struct from the straw shelters in which their
cattle, sheep and hogs may be protected du-
ring the coming winter. A few forks may be
set in the ground and poles laid across, over
which the straw from the threshing machine
may be piled, thus forming warm sheds in
which the animals may be protected from the
snow, rain and wind of the winter season.
These straw sheds can be built at the time OF
the threshing with little or no trouble and ex-
pense. The improved condition of the stock
from their better care will make it pay hand
somely to do this, while every humane senti-
ment demands that our dumb servants shall
be protected from every form of suffering.
We are aware that much more attention is
given now than formerly to the proper care OF
stock in our State. Nevertheless, very seri-
GUS complaints of neglect in this matter reach,
ed us during last winter from every part O.
the State. We believe it is only necessary
thus to suggest this matter to the farmers t
have the evil remedied.

The editor of the DEMOCRAT and wife, and

Christ Marley and pleasant family, who dwell
on three hundred and ninety acres of excellent
land, beautifully located and well improved,
about six miles west of Eaton, close to the line
of the Cincinnati & Chicago railway. Mr..
Marley has four fish ponds on his farm, all well
stocked with the different varieties of the Ger
man Carp, which he seined on the day, taking
out several hundred of the finny tribe, from ar
eighth of an inch in size up to fifteen, the larg.
est weighing about two pounds. The growth
and productiveness of the Carp in one season
is astonishing and almost increditable, and as
Mr.. Marley takes great interest in his ponds
we have no doubt if he lives, in a few years he
will be able to supply his whole neighborhood
two or three times a week, with all they desire
of the best of fresh fish.

Ancient Treasury Notes.

WASHINGTON, September 2.-Two treas
ury notes bearing date Feb. %, 1s42, were
sent to treasurer Jordon last week, with
the following request: eff worth any
thing send check. if worthless return
them" The notes were ragged. They
are made payable to the order of John
Smith, bear per cent interest and have
one year to run. Ii they are worth any
thing they are worth $53 each. It is the
opinion of treasurer Jordon that they are
genuine. He has referred TO the register
to know whether the notes bearing these
numbers and dates have been paid. The
register replies that they have not been
paid. Controller Durham decided that if
they are genuine they may be paid out OF
any fund in the treasury. Their pay
.nent was provided for before they We're
issued.

Joys of Western Journalism.
From the Chicago News ]

FROM the JnCagO news.
Mr.. Fred w. Nye, the genial editor of
the Omaha Republican, has been in the
city for two days on peculiar errand.
He has been trying to engage city editor
for his paper. The sole qualification MIR.
Nye requires in his city editors is sobriety.
There was time when he required brains,
but that time is past. He only looks for
an editor who can look upon the cup that
cheers and likewise inebriates, aud yet be
in condition 10 hustle for news and write
it up when he gets it. According TO Mr.
Nye there is something peculiarly lutoxi-
eating either in employmelt on the Repub-
lican or in Omaha beer. Fer the last two
years the Republican has ben edited by a
procession of inebriates passing through
the office. Man after mau az tried with
no success. The new man would take
hold at noon, get his instructions and the
lay of The land, and no more would be
seen Of him until he came in at 3 Il. N.
next day gorously obllvoas TO every
thing. This is Mr.. Nye's side of the ques-
ton, but journalist who has just return
ed from bref sojourn upon the Repub-
lican tells different tale. He says that
he landed there few months ago and
engaged as city editor. Hr asked what
time the staff reported for daty, and found
to his horror that he was the staff, aid
that he was required to get up each day
the bagatelle of something like Is to q
columns Of matter. "You will report. :"
said Mr.. Nye, sat half past seven O'clock
tomorrow morning. The Amalgamated
Society Of baggage smashers holds its
annual convention. 1t will last till noon.
Cut it short. Don't make more than three
columns Of it, At noon the Methodist
Methodist church. Do 'em up in about
column. You know how to do board of
trade and the markets, of course-the us
ual amount. Then at O'Clock take run
around the hotels and bring in a couple of
columns of interviews and the personals.
There's meeting Of merchants at Boyd's
opera house at 5, and the police stations
and hospitals will have to be covered.
Dash off eolumnaof editorial sqibs for
the fourth page, and drop into the theaters
at night When you get back at eleven
o'clock you can set up the markets and
read proof till press time Take hand
at the press and make yourself useful fold
ing papers. The circulator will give you
route to deliver in the river district.
That will keep you busy till seven o o'clock.'' -
But" said the new editor, II won't
have anything to do for a whole half
hour"
'Lemme see, said Nye. "rhat.s so.
Well, you can wash rollers during that
time'

Our Graded School.

Our school is now working in good or
der. The testimony of parents and chill
dren is to the effect that Prof. Downing
is one of the best principals we have ever
had. We are glad to hear this and hope
that the school will attain such excellence
that people living in the outside districts
may be induced to send their children to
Fort Benton. We believe it is the aim of
the trustees to have the school second to
none in the territory, and they have secur-
ed, in addition to Prof. Downing, Miss
Finnegan and Miss McQuillan, two most
competent teachers. In case the atten-
dance should be materially increased other
teachers will be secured.

The Sweet Grass Hills.

The first news we have had from the
Sweet Grass hills for the past two weeks
was received to-day from Tuck Lambert
and G. ID. Ladd, who have just arrived in
the city from an extended prospecting
trip in the Rocky mountains, coming back
by way of the Sweet Grass. They report
that there are undoubtedly good diggings
in the hills. Fred Derwent and .sDeaf
George are working on their claim. A
short time since they opened up small
pit and took out three ounces. They are
now at work stripping pit about 12x20
feet, from which they expect to take out
fifty ounces of gold. Mr.. Ladd says he
took pan of dirt from a claim supposed
to have been worked out and obtained six
grains of gold. On Deaf Georges claim
eleven grains TO the pan has been obtained.
They were informed while there that
dirt could be hauled some distance and
yield from one to three ounces per day.
They regard the mines as first class, and
are OF opinion that the camp will prove
rich before many days. The Sweet Grass
hills are SO easy Of access that hundreds of
people will 60 out If for nothing more
than to say that they have seen them.
