take pleasure in submitting the follow ing statement of facts that you may know the great benefit that has resulted from the use of your Specific in the case of my little daugh- ter, now ten years of age. he child, when two years of age had a severe attack of scar let fever, which left her with shattered con- stitution. Among other evidences of impaired nutrition was what the octors called soften- ing of the bones In her fifth year she hap pened to g slight accident which resulted in the dislocation of the hip joint, and, from the irritation thus set up, terrible abcesses of the hip ensued. The abcesses, despite the best medical treatment that could be obtained, re- mained for three years, discharging contin- ously. At this time, through the influence of friends, I put her on your .. s S. When this treatment was commenced the abcesss was very large, having six perforations, pus discharging through them all. During this treatment several spiculse of bone came out, and b. the time she had finished her fifth bottle the abcess had entirely healed, her ap- petite and general health had been restored in short, she was well and happy and so con. tinues.

INSANITY ILLUSTRATED.

A short time ago young lady went of her own accord to the private asylum of Dr. Wells, where she soon developed symptoms of violent insanity. The pecu- liar phase of her mental disease is the hal
 uclnation that she is haunted by phan- tom lover, for whom she Is continually auGtlt g ab ut the house. She became so destructive thnt Dr. Wells was finally obliged to have her committed to the pub- ltc asylum as pay patieut. She resisted .lolently the attendant who Came to take aer away, and It was necessary to carry her fnscibly iuto the Carriage.
 Miss Dfury ls possessed of consider able Income, but lttle Is known of her an- receden's. Sh" W IS born III Fond du Lac, Wis Tn 1857, ana inherited large estate from her father and mother, both of whom are de d. She WAS educated at Vassar college. and has spent large part of her life ill travel'ng i'll nearly every country of the world. From numerous letters fonnd among her possessions, 1t is evident that she has made many friends and acquaint- ances during her travels. In a diary which she kept during her last European tour, frt quent reference is made to great calamity which had befallen her, and which she describes ill black and white, but with ou' mentioning names. She said she had been basely d. ceived by prince. About two months ago she came to Brooklyn aud called on Mme. De Saussure, her old teach who was once on the Vassar staff, but who now conducts fashionable boarding house for women. Miss Drury said she was tired of travellng, and that she wanted home. Mime De Saussure gave her apartments on the top floor, and she had lived there quietly until her recent mental trouble de- veloped, and she was prevailed upon to go to Dr. Wells retreat. Letters have been sent 10 nearly all the persons whom Miss Drury referred to at various times as her friends, relatives or guardians, but in near ly every instance the letters have been re- turned With the information that no such person lived at the address named. Here the matter stands, aud the lawyers having the case in hand will now apply for the appointment of a committee on the un- happy woman's person and estate. The New York Tribune of Feb. 27 h soys Ut has been learued that Mrs. Harriet Drury, who was committed to the insane asylum at Flatbush last week, is the daughter of Erastus w. Drury, of Fond du Lac, Mich. who died fifteen years ago. In the eSspring of 1889, while travelling in Europe with some companions, Miss Drury first con- ceived the hallucination of phantom lover, which has never left her."

We were pleased to see that MT. Cor dan, of the Sun, drove over from Oentrop- oils yesterday and viewed the work of building going on In the future capital of Prairie County. MT. Gordan, however, avoided our office; so we are denied the pleasure of stating his opinions on our beautiful location.
 The building boom is certainly well uu- der way Fifteen new houses were con- menced this week, and it IS reported that three of the leading merchants of Centrop- oils will move their buildings over next week. They recognize that Prairie City is by far better location for the capital than is windy, dusty, dry, alkali Centropolis.

One day the advance agent of show came along and ordered some posters printed upon cotton cloth.

As the election drsws near, it is provok- ing how low men will stoop to accomplish their points. Fadden and Tolmes have at last bribed three of our business men into moving their dilapidated old buildings to Prairie City. It is not the fact of the re- moval we object to, it is the principle of the thing. These men are most profuse in promises, and often accomplish their purposes by oversnres they never intend to make good when the time comes. They are even reported as having cheated Miss Purdee of her dues as publisher of the Flower. While we are too gallant to say that the lady's efforts have not been con- duciye of the results they may have ex- pected, we do think they should stand by their agreement with her. If they will not do this, how can onr farmers and mer- chants expect that they will stand by their propositions to build court house as a gift to to the county, and to donate lots to our merchants who move over before elec- ton.
