CANE PRESENTATION. Assembly
man Nash was collared by score of
his acquaintance Monday evening
and ushered into the law office Of
Messrs. Gardner and Gaynor where he
was made the reel pient of fine gold
headed cane. Mr.. Gaynor made
short but appropriate presentation
speech in which he expressed the SEN
t!ment of the parties present and the
people not present, when he said that
Mr. Nash had made competent and
faithful representative Of our people,
and was especially deserving of their
thanks for his untiring efforts in order
to defeat the passage of the bill to
organize the town OF Grant. Mr..
Nash was surprised but gracefully sub
uniting accepted the cane in brief
speech to his non-partizan friends.
The suicide of Maj. Mower of Mil
waukee, partner Of Col. Watrous in
the publication of the Sunday Tele
graph" was shock to the people of
the entire state. Tie committed the
rash act with pistol, at the Kirby
House, Friday evening last, while
partially insane. Maj Mower was a
brave soldier and contracted his dis
ease in the rebellion. He leaves a
wife, several boys and unnumbered
friends to mourn his sad passing away.
Col. Watrous says in writing about
the causes that prompted the act,
among other things, that she was too
brave a man, too affectionate, too
manly; loved his wife and children
too dearly, to commit such an act
while in his right mind. His home
relations were of the happiest He
worshipped his wife and children and
they in return bestowed undivided love
upon him. His habits were good.
But we cannot now write more Of our
dead friend .

MOTHERS
FRIEND

This invaluable prep
aration is truly a tri-
umph Of scientific skill,
and no more inestimable
benefit was ever bestow-
ed on the mothers Of the
world.
Mg- 1t not only short
ems the time oflabor and
lessons the intensity of
pain, but, better than
all, it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a
condition highly favor
able to speedy recovery,
and far less liable to
flooding, convulsions,
and other alarming
symptoms incident to
lingering and painful
labor. It's truly Won
derful efficacy in this re-
spect entities the MOTH
ER's FRIEND to be rank
ed as one ofthe life-sav-
ing appliances given to
the world by the discov-
cries of modern science.
From the nature of
the case it will of course
be understood that we
cannot publish certiti-
Gates concerning this
Remedy without wound
ing the delicacy of the
writer's. Yet we have
hundreds OF such testi-
monials on file, and no
mother who has once
used it will ever again
be without itin her time
