To the Afflicted,

In this age of the world when so
many irresponsible doctors are travel
ing over the country victimizing the
people, it is pleasure to be able to call
the attention of our readers to one who
is not only responsible in every way,
but is also thoroughly posted in his pro-
fession. We refer to Dr. G. R. Ham,
who will visit Watertown, Commercial
house, Saturday, May 3, 1890. This
gentleman is from the great hospitals
of New York City, and is one of the
best posted physicians in the country.
The cures affected by him are wonder
full, many of them having been per-
formed after the most distinguished
representatives of the healing art had
pronounced the fiat of doom and de-
clared them to be beyond the limits Of
the durable. 1t must not be under
stood that DIR. Ham is "cure ALL" In
deed, he makes no such claims; but he
does claim to be able to properly dag
nose case, and if he does not consider
it durable in his hands he promptly
tells his patient.
These are facts and are not given up
Gu hearsay, but after a careful reading
of many complimentary notices from
the press where he is best known, re-
ferring to some most remarkable cures
performed by him. We are not given
to undue praise of any individual, much
less the average travelling doctor, but
we feel we are not overstepping the
bounds of propriety when we say that
all persons consulting with DR.. Ham,
and placing themselves under his treat
ment, can confidently rely on his skill
as physician and his integrity as a
gentleman.

Death of Mrs. Agnes M. Hill.

We have the painful duty this week
of recording the death of an old and
estimable resident, Mrs. Agnes M.
Hill, relict of James Hill, the sad event
occurring at her home in the First
ward from paralysis, on Saturday, April
26, 1890, at noon, in the 10th year of her
age, the deceased having been born in
Sterlingshire, Scotland, July %, 1920.
Mrs. Hill came to Watertown with her
husband about 81 years ago, Mr.. Hill
being of the firm of Hill & Taylor, who
carried on the old Vulcan Iron Works.
Mr.. Hill died in Milwaukee, November
Is, 1870, although he still had his home
here at the time of his decease.
Mrs. Hill was quiet and unobtrusive
in manner, kindly and generously dis
posed to all coming in contact with her
and possessed of true worth as friend ,
qualities that caused her to be greatly
endeared to the circle in which she
moved and by whom she is now sim
cerely mourned.
Mrs. Hill had visited her native land
three times, returning here from her
last trip to Scotland, January 9TH.
Before starting from Scotland Mrs.
Hill had become much worn with
anxiety and the care of relatives IN
sickness and these troubles connected
with the experience of an unusually
rough and stormy voyage across the At
lantic brought on paralysis, ending at
last in her death, suffering much the
last few weeks of her life.
She leaves daughter, Miss Mayme,
who has been constant during the en-
tire sickness of her mother in admins
tering to her wants, and in her deep
trial and affection which under the Pro-
violence ofGod she has been called upon
to sustain, she has extended to her the
warm sympathy of all.
Mrs. Hill's funeral was held from her
late home yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock The large attendance testified
to the high opinion entertained for the
deceased by those who knew her best
and among whom she had moved for
many years. The last consoling words
to relatives and friends were spoken
by Rev. J. NJ Campbell, of the Congre-
gational church. The hymns sung by
the quartette, composed of Mrs. W. P.
Reyes, Mrs. S. R. Sleeper, VIM. c. Of
and j. B. May, with Mrs. c: c.. Eaton
as accompanist, were the following, all
of them being favorites with the de-
ceased: "Jesus Lover of My Soul, "
"What Friend we have in Jesus" and
81 would not Live Away" Her body
finds rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
The following named relatives and
friends from abroad attended the fun
eral: w. B. Mitchell, ST., of Oconto,
brother of the deceased; w. B. Nit
chell, Jr., Miss Nellie Mitchell, John
Watson and Hugh Bowie, Chicago
Thomas Watson and Mr.. and Mrs.
James Kellie, Minneapolis; Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bowie, Manistee, Mich,
Mrs. JAS Sheriffs, Jas. Sher;ffs, Jr.,
Mrs. John Llewellyn and Mrs. Blair
Milwaukee; Mrs. Mcfarland, Racine,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Janeck, Madl-
son.

A Successful Farmers Opinion.

Pullman Herald.
John S alley was seen by a Herald
in Staley, one day last week,
and was asked as to the number of
acres he had in crop this year, and its
probable yield.
1--WE have in all about 700 acres of
wheat which will average over forty
bushels per acre." he said.
"Do you consider farming paying
occupation in the Palouse country"
ayes. There is no doubt about it.
Five years ago rented piece of land
to tenant for one-third of the product
for rent. My share netted me $15 per
acre, which was more than the land
would sell for at that time. The year
before last man came from Iowa and
rented 100 acres, with horses and i'm
elements included, from my father,
giving one-half the product for rent.
In the fall he returned to Iowa with
$1,000 net profit for his seasons work"
"What is the cost of growing wheat
here?'
"When everything is hired done it
costs about $40 per acre to put the
wheat in the elevator, which, in an
average year, gives the owner net
profit OF about $40 per acre, and OF
course the men who do the work make
a profit, which reduces the cost to the
farmer who does his own work.
"What legislation does the farmer
need the most at PRESENT."
. "Freight rates should be reduced; ant
