Speaking of blue jays reminds us
that the other day Lancaster man
heard the jays making an unusual fuss
in the pine trees and on going there he
found blue jay sitting on a limb frozen
to death. After looking the jay over,
he threw it into the snow and walked
away, when the live jays flew down,
secured the dead bird and carried it
back up into the tree. The ''all-around'
would like to pay pretty tribute to the
jay bird. Stay moment, our winter
friend. Sharp, stumpy beak two rest
less, cunning eyes set against tufted
Highland hood; black and white muller
about the neck; new notified blue
shawl dropping down over the shoulders
and back. Proud, saucy, animated,
ever-present. He is the one bright spot
that fits about, victorious, over the
tomb of our dead summer. Is there
life in the oak trees withered branch
it is the jay! Is there a bird voice
breaking the solemn wintry silence it
is the jays! | see him in the ''silent
city as critically he views the hearse,
the bier, the open grave, and the
mourner, looking upon him, is called
back to a realization of life in the world.
When all the bells are ringing, he
waves his blue shawl all about the por-
tails where congregate the wedding guests.
He is our blue jay, and how like us He
never moves out when winter comes in;
makes great fuss over nothing will
not fight unless cornered; often starts
row and seldom stays to see it out

The Blizzard.

The result OF the storm, and extreme
cold of the past few days have been
more disastrous than have been known
in many years. Already the mum Der of
those who persisted by cold, has passed
forty in Dakota alone, while from Mimi
esota, Nebraska, Montana and Iowa
come reports of great suffering. and loss
Of life. The mercury sank TO forty be-
law zero, the wind blowing and filling
the air with the binding snow. School,
children were lost on the prairies and
frozen in their attempt to reach home.
Trains were blockaded, mail and
passengers delayed. The full
extent of suffering and loss of life has
not yet been learned; the farms and
villages not near telegraph communica-
ton will not be heard from. perhaps for
weeks, but 1t is supposed several hun
dred persons have persisted. The loss
in live stock was Very heavy; in some
railroad cuts the way was blocked by
frozen bodies of cattle that had fed
there for shelter. This is the most Sc
we're storm since the winter OF 1876.

A letter received here from VIII
Alcorn says they have not had it cold
enough yet in Kansas where he is
located to shut the house doors and
windows. This intelligence will fall
upon the average Grant county inhabi-
tant like beautiful midsummer dream.
Last Sunday morning the thermometer
here registered 81 degrees below zero,
and scene Of dcsolation is over all the
landscape. Three feet Of snow, with
black and leafess trees reaching their
bare arms up out of the vast field Of
whiteness to the gray and bitter cold
sky, is the picture mother Nature has
hung out to our uncharitable gaze. But,
bowling reader, we are not going to
move away from these scenes icelaudic,
and there is peculiar something within
us that would deter us from coniuring
up spell of July weather just now if
we could. Yes, like the blue Jay, we
will remain in the spot in which we
originally fell.

MEASLES.-Iwoc cases OF measles are
reported in town. They are in the fam
lilies of Henry Heiliger and Henry
Resmeyer. These families are related
and there is no doubt that contagion has
resulted from communication between
the two that ought not to have occurred.
The moment patient comes down with
any contagious disease he should be
strictly quarantined. 1t is the duty Of
the health officer to see that all pre-
cautionary measures are taken to pre-
vent the spread of this disease. The
children from these families have
been removed from school, and it is to
be hoped that the disease will not
spread among the other pupils Care
lessness in these matters is worse than
criminal and the Indignation Of the whole
community will be visited upon anyone
who carelessly allows neighbors to be
exposed.

who works in tho livery for Sam

Read the Death RUII

Which the bills of mortality of any large city may be ftly designated, and you will find that renal and vesical maladies, that IS to say, those that effect the kid ncys or bladder, have 8 remarkable prom
 inence-we had almost said-preponder- ance. Bright's disease and diabetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, catarrh of the bladder and enure- sis, slay many. Yet at the outset, when the trouble merely amounts to inactivity of the organs involved, the danger may be nulhGed by that pleasant renal tonic and diuretic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which inParts the requisite amount of tone to the organs, without over-ex- citing them, and the use of which is con- venient, and involves no elaborate prep aratI0n. Dyspepsia, usual concomitant of renal complaints, and debility, which they invariably produce, are remedied by it. So also are constipation, mala- rial, rheumatic and nervous ailments.
