The virus of rheumatism often remain:
| in the system through life, when il does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly
as it IS always liable to do by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip of this tenacious
disease tightens, it should be unloosed by
that heneficient liberator from disease
Hnstetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
free the sufferer at the outset from sub
sequent pain and danger, No purer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists, as
multitudes of the rheumatic and neural
gic have ascertained by certified experts
ence. 1t is through the medium of IA reg
ular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is offered for the escape
of impurities which beget not only rheu~
matte, but goury ailments, and dropsical
effusions. To these organs the Bitters
gives an impulse, never verging on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently vig>
orous to cause them and the bowles to
perform their functions with clock-like
precision. Use it also for dyspepsia, bill
iousness, fever and ague and debility.

THE charge is made against Judge
Thurman that he was a 'copperhead'
during the war In 1857, only two years
after the war ended. he was the demo-
cratic nominee for governor of ONO.
This charge was then brought against
him, but it had so little effect upon the
people that he came within 5000 votes
of an election. although the previous
year the republicans had carried Ohio by
$4,000 majority. The democrats, indeed.
secured the legislature in this year (1S67)
and that legislature elected Mr.. Thurman
to the United States senate where. for
twelve Years. he illustrated the highest
ideals of American craftsmanship. We
don't think the exploded cnpperhead cry
will hurt Judge Thurman in Ohio or
anywhere else this year.

ROCK ISLAND. FRIDAY. JUNE %, lsss.

JAMES G. BLAINE, in his Twenty
Years in Congress" says of Senator
Thurman: His rank in the senate was
established from the day he took his seat,
and was never lowered during the period
of his service. He was an admirably
disciplined debator, was fair in his method
of statement, logical in his argument,
honest in his conclusions. He had no
tricks in discussion, no catch phrases to
secure attention, but was always direct
and manly. His mind was not preoccu~
pied and engrossed with political contests
or with affairs of state. HIS retirement
from the senate was a serious loss to his
party--a loss. indeed, to the body. He
left behind him the respect of all with
whom he had been associated during his
twelve years OF honorable service.

Spontaneous Combustion.

In regard to spontaneous combustion the
fires of the year in Boston have furnished
some new observations Of considerable in
portance. In one case, says American Archi-
tect quantity Of feather dust in bedding
mandatory took fire without apparent rea-
son. 1t was found, however, that a piece
Of thick glass had been lying on the feathers,
and the suns rays, concentrated in some way
by the glass, had set fire to them, although
the day was a cold one in the month OF
March. In another case, q number OF tar
paulin hats were lying. packed together, in 8
window. The high temperature, with per-
haps the close packing OF the hats, caused
them to burst into blaze. Two other fires
were caused by putting parafine paper, such
as candy is wrapped in, into a refuse barrel
which contained little sawdust; and a third,
which destroyed $4,000 worth of property,
was occasioned by putting greasy paper,
which had been used to wrap lunches in, into
q wooden refuse barrel which contained some
sawdust and sweepings

Find the best avenue Of approach to his heart
and his pocket. Cultivate him, talk with
him about school needs Go among the pa
rents. Cunningly contrive TO have them do
your preaching. Write up the schools in the

and girls. Plan special afternoons and send

people of the place. The schoI IFS VIII help

Get Up entertainments for specific needs.
People viii always come TO see their children,
and when you get them thare, put into the
mouth Of some little pleader che story Of
your wants, and before the impression fades
send ether tots around 10 collect pay OF
promises.
Il IS not poverty or singiness that makes
our country schools the outrageous burial
grounds they are, but habit of indifference,
and the American fashion OF leaving to our
nei-hbors all interference in troublesome
matters. Arouse public spirit aud the
work IS done. And IS no one knows the
needs like the teacher, so no one can so well
arouse the people 70 them. Gain the chill
dren and keep agitating. Ply these little
levers diligently in every home Of your dis
trict. Don't be in hurry to leave and
secure better position. Stay, and make
your place desirable position Make your
self important TO your school, and then,
courteously but firmly insist on respectable
pay. Teachers in country schools can do

Two hundred head or more Of buffalo may

are on the Palo Duro Canon ranch, owned by
Capt. Charles Goodnight; others in the Texas
Capital syndicate, OF KIT pasture, especially
on the North plains, /. e., north Of the Cana

twenty or more buffalo calves were captured
this spring in that region and driven to Kan
sas for mercenary AID breeding purposes.
There are also many buffalo on the south

many rare but smaller mammals, are found
in the same region. Naturallsts desiring
