grows older

Harvesting is nearly all done on
Trenton Prairie, while on the high
land it is in full blast.
Chinch bugs have done much dam
age, and spring wheat especially is a
very poor crop, and hardly pays for
harvesting.
If the present drought continues a
few days longer the potato crop will
be almost an entire failure, while corn
viii be much injured.
A few buildings are going up at Ha-
ger, and it is possible that we may
have city here in time.
The side tracks on the c. B. & n.
have been put down at IIager, and we
understand that from next Monday we
will have regular through trains each
day.
Our grocery hotel-saloon is not do
ing very thriving business yet.
Political outlook at Trenton for the
Republicans: AS time for election
draws near we hear the names of can
didates mentioned. Since our town
has never had a county office we
should be given one this fall Our
town will be represented by S. T. IT.
vine as candidate for register of deeds.
Mr.. Irvine has for the past few years
been town clerk and filled the office
very satisfactorily and would no doubt
give satisfaction if elevated to the of
flee of register. For assemblyman
these seems to be as yet only one &C.
tive candidate in the field, our present
Co. Supt., but we hear very promi-
nent name mentioned from Prescott,
the owner of which would make
very able representative for Pierce Co.
We refer to Col. Dill. There is not
much doubt that one or the other of
these gentlemen will represent us the
next two years. For Co. Supt. the
contest for the nomination will proba-
bly, be between Diamond Bluff and
Prescott, B. f. Gilman representing
the former and 6. L. Bowman the lat
ter. Both are well known in Pierce
Co. as prominent teachers, and each
will no doubt have large number of
"backers, but Mr.. Bowman has been
teaching entirely out of the county for
the past two years which seems 10
give Mr.. Gilman the preference. Mr..
Gilman has done much for education
in the southern part of the county and
if nominated will draw heavy vote.
For sheriff, Nelson, Lord and COrcoran
seem to have about an equal number
of adherents in this section, while the
Clifton candidate is as yet not much
quoted but probably will be in time.
According to our town, 4. Cook, from
Maiden Rock will be the next dist. at
torney. For clerk, treasurer and clerk
of the court we have as yet heard no
names farther than the present incum-
bents and they all seem to be popular
and able officials and no doubt some OF
them. and perhaps all will be re'nom-
mated.

DIR. Edward Is. FoOte as repre-
sentative of Electic Medicine, as a
writer of popular medical literature,
and as physician stands prominent,
and is, perhaps, through the world,
better known by his writings than any
other medical writer who has direct
ed his teachings to the people rather
than the profession. Born and raised
among Connecticut settlers, on the
western Reserve" in Ohio he early
began the work of many self-made
men. Starting at the age of sixteen
as printers devil" in a newspaper
office, he worked his way to the edit
orial chair, and was severally connect.
ed with the most prosperous weekly
(of it's time) in Connecticut, and the
first successful morning paper of
Brooklyn, n. Y, but his main i'm
pulse had always been towards the
study Of medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until in apprenticeship with a noted
botanical specialist, and a course of
study finishing with graduation, found
him prepared to follow out the bent
of his life to its completion. He was
| among the earliest of those who advo-
Gated the publication of anatomical,
physiological and hygienic books for
the masses, and his success in writing
interesting and popular books has
been conspicuous. His first and best
known book, entitled "Medical Com
mon Sense" reached circulation OF
$4,000 copies, probably because of
its originality and novelty in new
field; and his subsequent writings have
been mainly in the same line, "Science
in Story" having been written for
the purpose of providing read
able book for children, and one which
should make plain to their comprehen-
sion the facts which he considered it
necessary for them to know concern
ing their own bodies.
In speaking Of the late Prof. j. S.
Smith, of Oxford, London, Nature re-
marks: 1t has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have always been con.
ceived before the age of thirty. .
This is probably true, also, of the
original of this portrait. His most
radical thoughts were published in
his first work written before he was
twenty-nine years of age, and though
his pen is never long idle, his first
success has not yet been equalled by
subsequent work, though his "Plain
Home Talk" a revision and enlarge.
ment of Medical Common Sense, .
seems likely in time to obtain circu.
lation rivalling that of its predecessor.
Inpractice DR.. Foote has always been
independent, progressive and original,
always foe of old-fogyism and trade
unionisn in medicine; once a disciple
of the old Thompsonian botanical
school, as opposed to mineral and
blood-letting practice, and now a
staunch supporter of Electicism in
all that the name implies. He has
been actively engaged in the practice
of his profession for thirty years, and
as the portrait given herewith is from
recent photograph, hard work APP
pears to agree with him, and he looks
equal to twenty years more of it.
