Hay Fever.

Ely's Cream Balm was recommend
ed to me by the druggist as pre-.
ventive to hay fever. Have been
using it AS directed and have found
it specific for that much dreaded
and loathsome disease. For ten
years or more have been a great
sufferer each year. from Aug 9th till
frost, and have tried many alleged
remedies for Its cure, but Ely's
Cream Balm Is the only preventive
| have ever found. Hay fever suf-
ferers ought to know of it's efficacy.

With the election OF Grant came the
reign OF the robbers and plunderers

OF crime were pardoncd ont by the
President, and restored to favor and
place. The crime OF the whisky

administration policy. But the leg

continues, not with the approval OF

The Des MOines River Lands.

The original grant OF these lands
was made the Sth Of August 1916,
granting to the Territory Of Iowa
certain lands from the mouth Of the
Des Moines River 10 Raccoon Fork.
(vol. 3 page IT, This law authorized
the territory or the State to be form
cd out Of the same to sell and dis
pose Of these lands for the improve
ment OF the Des Moines River from
its mouth to Raccoon Fork. The
Des Moines river Improvement
company by some hocus pocus
whose method is only known to
corporations had improperly as
stated in the resolution OF congress
March I'd 1861, (vol. II page 25l)
obtained from the department OF
the interior certificates to land from
Raccoon Fork north to the State
line. This resolution relinluished
to the State Of Iowa all the interest
OF the United States in these lands.
On the II Of July 1862 vol. II
page $40 congress passed a sup
Elementary act confirming and re-
linquishing to the State Of Iowa the
odd sections within five miles Of the
Des Moines River between the Rae
coon Fork and the northern boun-
dairy Of the State, such lands to be
sold by the State and applied as in
the original grant except that con-
gress assented to a diversion Of Il
portion Of the proceeds in accor-
dance with the law of our Iowa leg
islature approved March p 1858, in
aid OF certain railroads.
The Sd Of March 1873 (vol. II page
616,) congress passed law author
izing the President of the United
States to appoint commissioners
to asce rtain the number Of acres
and by appraisement or otherwise
the value Of lands lying north Of the
Raccoon Fork Of the Des Moines
river, as may be held by the Des
Moines Navigation and Railroad
company, or Of persons claiming
title adversely either by entry or
under the presumption Or homestead
laws Of the United States and on
what terms the adverse holders
would relinquish the same to the
United States. Three commission.
ers were provided for at eight dol
lars per diem during the time en-
gagged.
Whether President Grant appoint
ed these commissioners, and il SO
what they did and reported are mat
tiers upon which we are without data.
But from the facts and data at hand
this is conclusive that the State of
Iowa always had ample authority to
fully protect every person upon the
Des Moines river lands in every
right and interest they had therein.
1t was through the mismanagement,
not to say corruption, Of the Repub-
lican party that the title Of settlers
upon these land were put under a
cloud, and for thirty years of unin-
terrupted control in every depart
ment in the government Of Iowa the
party has neglected and
refused to provide that redress to the
settlers OF their wrongs which was
the first and highest duty Of the
State. The only excuse for the bill
before congress for the relief OF set
tiers on these lands was the one
fact that the Republican party in
the State OF Iowa had persistently
for twenty-four years refused them
the justice and right it was always
its duty as it Was its power to give.

An Aged 0uartette.

\ ; ngularly Pleasing circumstance

four OF the veterans OF the church.
These gray haired sires were Thomas

Arson Call. of Bountifui: william Mid
dletOn. of Ogden, and Alfred Randall,
Of North Ogden. Their ages are, re-
spectively. So years, 7G years, ~ yearS
and 70 years. The two former have
been members OF the church since 1881
while the other two have grown gray IN
its ranks. All we're associated tOgether
IN the early history and development
OF this Territory and are the prOgenitOrs
of large families. The meeting between
them was purely accidental and the
cordial greeting and parting would
send thrill OF pleasure through the
heart OF young man to witness. The
gentlemen. although they have out
lived mans allotted time on earth, are
hale and hearty and smiles OF peace
passed over each face; as they watched
the eyolutions Of the youthful dancers.
they felt almost young again. May the
kind DEGREES OF an allwise and mysterI-

PROPAGATION OF SHAD.-The following
interesting summary of the propagation
and distribution of shad during 1886, is
from forthcoming bulletin of the United
States Fish Commission: The total distri-
button of shad fry for the season of 1886
aggregates over 10000, 600. As the entire
number of shad taken for market is some
thing less than 6,000000, it will be seen
that for every shad taken from the waters
this season for market fifteen young sbad
have been artificially hatched and returned.
The entire cost of production and distribu-
ton has been less than 5000, and, there
fore, the young fish have been produced
and distributed over the entire United
States at the cost of about $215 for a
million. or fOrty-six young fish for each
cent of expenditure. Another interesting
fact to note is that for the entire time up to
and including 1882 there were produced by
artificial propagation only 200000,c00
young shad, while for 1886 alone the total
production was over $4,000, 600. These
facts indicate that we are certainly getting
to point where the work may be regarded
as profitable from commercial standpoint.
The following is a summary Of the shad
distributed during the season of 1856. ar
ranged by river basins: Tributaries of Mar.
ragansett Bay, ,534 600; tributaries of Long
Island Sound, 10000; Hudson river,
2312 900; Delaware river, q ,61S, 900; tribu-
taries of Chesapeake Bay, 80, ,0o0 900; tribu-

Brought to Bay by Vigilantes-Two Off
GERS Killed.
CHICAGO, December 2Sth.-The Times
Cotulla (Tex.) special says: Yesterday, at
Twohig station, twelve miles from here, a
desperate character named White commit
ted brutal assault on an 11-year-old child.
She made the fact known, and a courier
was sent here for an officer. Sheriff Nc
Kinney and deputy Immediately left for
Twohig on horseback. They reached there
in the evening, approached Whites house
quietly, and asked if he was in. The doors
were barred and they received no answer.
Approaching somewhat closer they saw the
muzzles of four weapons protruding from
window and simultaneously four jets of
flame sprang forth. -Four men, Whites
friends, had hidden themselves in the
house. Mckinney was shot through the
brain at the first fire, and fell from his
horse dead The deputy kept up the fight
gamely, but could do nothing against his
concealed foes. He went down filled full
of lead, and was finally dragged away by
the citizens of the village.
When the news of the killing came this
morning Cotulla went wild. A large force
of men instantly volunteered for service
and started on horseback for Twohig. The
latest intelligence from there is that White
and his three friends have been corralled in
their house and are held at bay. They re-
fuse to surrender, and were notified that if
they did not come out within given time
thev would be burned in the house. The
Deputy Sheriff is dying, and the citizens
say if White and his friends are not burned
alive, there will be a quadruple lynching.
Another courier is expected tonight. In
tense excitement prevails.

Effect of Logan's Death on the Presiden-
tial Outlook.

Effect of Logan's Death on the Presiden-
tial Outlook.
PHILADELPHIA, December 2Sth.-A Times
Washington special says: The death of
Logan will change the entire combination
on the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton. Logan's strength was distinctly anti
Blaine, but the political managers were in
entire accord with the plans and purposes
of Blaine's friends. The strength of Gre
sham and Harrison in Indiana represented
simply the local political prejudices of the
State against Blaine on account of his
structures on Indiana juries upon the with
drawal of his suit for libel. Senator Har-
rison would be formidable for the second
place to an Eastern candidate on account
Of the exceptional strength developed in
carrying Indiana ON the State ticket, and
almost reyolutionizing the Legislature
against every odds on the basis of his own
reelection to the Senate. The hostility of
Foster, which appeared to have no abate-
ment toward Sherman, might have made a
diversion of the Ohio vote, as it had done
before, but of the Western candidates the
leader from Ohio most likely to carry the
Logan vote will be Sherman. AS between
Sherman and Blaine there has not existed
that cordiality of opposition which pre-
vailed in the case Of Logan. If the choice
should fall to the East, Evarts is the only
candidate who would be available in New
York, as a means of concentrating the Re-
publican vote as against Cleveland or Hill,
one of whom will be the next nominee for
the Democratic party.
