Confidence Begot of success.

80 confident are the nufacturers of that
world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery, that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure of liver, blood
and lung diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling it (as
they are doing, through druggistsl under Il
positive guarantee of its giving satisfaction
in every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or np pay. In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in its curative eff.
fects. Pimples, blotches, eruptions and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
swellings or tumors; the bones, causing
'feversores, 4" "white swellings" or "hip
Joint disease;' or the tissues of the lungs,
causing pulmonary consumption. No mat
ter in which one of its myriad forms 1t crops
out, or manIfests itself, Golden Medical
Discovery will cure if used perseveringly
and in time.

The people of Southwestern Iowa claim
that in point of soil, climate and produc-
tions, theirs Is unexcelled by any section of
the great Agricultural Northwest. Its pc
culiar climatic and soil conditions adapt it
to the growth of all the approved tame
grasses. The hay OF that region has dis
placed all other wherever known in the
cities of the South and East. Live stock,
especially horses, live well during ordinary
seasons the year round, on pasturage and
hay, feeding from November to April on
the far-famed Winter Blue Grass Pastures
of the region. 1t is n country of sure crops
Wet or dry, each season brings n crop. The
country produces corn, fruit, vegetables,
oats, sorghum, potatoes, winter wheat, rye,
barley, and indeed all the grains, fruits and
vegetables common TO same latitude the
world over. So confident are the citizens
that theirs is the place to invite people to
come to for permanent homes that they
have organized a bureau of information
styled the "Blue Grass League Of South

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
q local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there.
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

Geographical aud Mathematical.

1t is commonly an easy task to amuse
an ignorant man, therefore we are amused
with the selfpessessed and knowledgy
manner in which the instructor of the
Hillsboro Gazette recited his geography
lesson last week. In days gone by we
had the names of great many towns of
Ohio in our memory, but we have for.
gotten some of them, and il we had
taken the time to read all the names
There were lots of 'em, and hundreds
he says he did not name) of places puo
lished in last weeks Gazette we would
not have been sure that they were all in
this State without reference to text
book. But the Gazette man is an artist
in the way of showing up things as they
are not. Take for instance the first two
towns Of Ohio mentioned in last weeks

elect Democratic Mayor, but the rest
OF the Republican ticket was elected.
AS to Cincinnati Democrats electing four
men to important offices-welL we do
not charge our learned cotemporary with
ignorance, but his disease is of much
more dangerous type and seated in tho

ton, and he knows it. The geographer
and mathematician of the corner of
Main and High streets has shown his
ability to copy some names Of places and
also to copy some figures from the Cor
poration Clerks books, but quoting q
number of names of places and one
column OF set OF numbers do not show
a state Of facts. The deductions drawn
are as void OF truth as stone is OF nour-
ishment. The first is had, the second is
bad-they are all bad. But places in
Ohio do not seem to be sufficient for
this lesson in geography. st. Louis and
Chicago are named as places where
Democrats can be addressed. St. Louis,
we believe. has always suffered from
having too many who might be addressed
as Democrats, and "Old Windy" If her
voters are as windy as the city is said to
he, or half as windy as our contemporary
is, We are not surprised at the claim he
sets up. But the writer who instructs
the people--and the NEWS HERALD as
well, who looks down on the ordinary
citizen from the corner of High and
Main--does not confne himself to gener
