CURES GUARANTEED
BY DR.. F. C. billings, Now In A5-
ileue,

ilene.
DR.. I. c. billings desires to an
nounce to the readers of the REFLEC-
TOR that after this date and for a rea-
souable consideration he will accept for
treatment all durable cases upon d
guarantee, if 50 desired and parties are
responsible. There are so many who,
having been sick so long and tried 81
many physicians, are discouraged and
hesitate to try again unless guaranteed
some good will result, but who are will
ing to pay larger fees if they can find a
doctor who will take ALL the chances.
To such as these DR.. billings says.
call at his Office at the Union Pacific
hotel-now called Stanton hOuSe-and
if after an examination you are consid-
cred durable by such improved methods
and medicines as he is able to offer
you can. if you wish, arrange for treat
ment upon a basis of mo cure, no
pay"
The sick are advised to call as soon
as is convenient for the reason that
those who first place themselves under
his treatment will do so with ressona-
bic assurance that they will receive the
doctors personal attention throughout
tue full course of the case; then again
delays are often dangerous.
Remember, the Office is located at
the depot hotel at Union Pacific r. R.
Remember also that DR.. billings has
been more successful than all others
and has effected cures right at your
own home that are astonishing.

The German Way.

They do some things better in the
old world than here. For instance
this, as told by Fred Heinz, of Daven-
port. You get off ~ train at q German
railway station. In this country you
would be met by horde of howiing
hickman, in whose grasp you would
become as clayinthe hands of a potter.
Not SO in Deutschland. You go to o
policeman and ask him concerning o
carriage. Being an American you ex-
pect that he will tell you he don't
know anything about it and begin talk
ing to a friend, but he is a German
guard and he fools you. He gives you
o card with a number on 1t and cour-
teously directs you to q row of motion
less carriage drivers, each one by his
carriage. You go to the man whose
number corresponds with that on your
card and nobody says O word while you
drive away. What's more, that card
given you by the policeman contains
the fixed rates of carriage hire, and if q
hickman attempts to ~overcharge you
you can make It very unpleasant for
him. The German hackmen impressed
me very favorably indeed.

to swing a cat round in. And is them

NO, sir, those are our best buildings,

A Genealogical Authority.

A lady Of his acquaintance who is of
Plymouth ancestry, and is reasonably
proud of it, attended the recent dedica-
ton of the national pilgrim monument
in that town. While she was in town,
she took it in her head to drive with
some friends to the Cedarville neigh
borhood, so unwillingly advertised in
the misnamel novel Ca Cod Folks"
The party travelled in a democratic sort
of vehicle which put them Mt once into
more or less familiar relations with
their driver, who was a native of Ply
mouth. and who gossipel on in a very
cheerful way about the old inhabitants
of the town. He knew every one on
'em, he said. The lady just spoken of
opened her genealogical heart to this
driver, as it were, and alluded to her
descent and her family's connection
with people of this, that, and the other
| name famous in Plymouth history.
"Oh yes" said the driver, "the Stan
dishes; I knew them folks very we'll.
There was old Bradford Standish-nicc
q man as ever you see."
My fathers family were related
the lady broke in, "to the Aldens, too"

"Oh, Lord!w exclaimed the driver.
II am we'll acquainted with the Hew.
genows. Samanthy Hewgenow, that
lived out by the swamp, she married my
grandfather"
The lady suddenly lost her faith III
driver as a genealogical authority and
the incident helped her to the conclu.
sion, which she had already partially
formed as the result of her studies IN
the town, that Plymouth genealogies
are sometimes better known and more
highly regarded outside the old mother
town than they are in it.-Bosto,

MANY years ago Edmund briggs,
who died the other day, was a member
of n committee sent from here by the
Democratic leaders to get President
jackson to remove Colonel Swartout
from the New York Collectorship, says
n writer in the New York Tribune.
Mr.. briggs often related their expert
ence with "Old Hickory" They were
received by the General in the library.
He was seated in a large armchair,
smoking q clay pipe with a stem about
two feet long. His face, like that of
the p%edagogue in Goldsmith's "De-
serted Village" bespoke the days dis
aster of the committee. but the chair
man resolutely proceeded to state his
case. The President listened patiently
to the end, and then, after u brief pause,
in which the pipe was kept in vigorous
action, came the reply: "Colonel
Swartout," said the President, "was a
good soldier (whiff, Whit D; he shed his
blood for his country (wlliif, Whit y;
he is a personal friend of mine (whiff,

with strong emphasis) he will not be

the Port of New York (whiif, Whit,

An Indian LEGEND.

No white man ever saw q buffalo
west of the Rockies. The Indians Of
the northwest have a legend to account
for this. Many moons ago, they say,
come Indians were hunting buffalo on
the other side of the range-they were
plentiful over there then. An old
medicine man told them where to find
q big herd which, he said, was led BY q
red bull calf. The Great Spirit would
give them all the buffaloes they desired,
but the red calf must not be killed. Ii
it was killed the Great Spirit would
punish them severely. The braves
started out, found the bu~ffaloes, and
slaughtered them by the hundreds.
When they looked among the carcasses
the body of the red calf was found.
It was never known who killed it. but
they say the buffaloes all disappeared
and were never again seen on that side
of the Rockies.-Globe-D Democrat.

Romance at a District Fair.

There was q romantic marriage at the
Central Minnesota fair at st. Cloud the
other day. 1t was announced that o cou-
pie from Elk river would be welded in
the presence of the multitude on the
grounds. When the par entered the hall
nobody seemed TO know them. Inquiry,
however, elected the fact that the groom's
name is Harry q. Babcock, u popular
young tradesman of Elk River, and the
bride. Mis-. Nellie Hughes, of Chicago.
The match is the result of an ADVERTISE
ment in a newspaper. The correspondence
continued, photographs were exchanged, a
proposal of marriage was made and ac-
cepted. Babcock met his bride for the
first time the day before the wedding.
They went direct to st. Cloud. The cere-
mony wa performed in a pa'lor arranged
at one en- of the floral hall, Rev. G. H.
Garble officiating. Numerous presents
were showered upon the happy pair, rang
ing all The way from two coops of chickens
to fifty silver dollars by the fair associa-
ton.
