The Oldest Postmaster.

An item about who is the Oldest
postmaster continues to travel. Be
ginning with, "Some newspapers
recently published the death notice
of a man who, it was stated, was
the Oldest postmaster in the United
States" II goes on to make it appear
that d. J. Powers, Of Chicago, who
was postmaster of Whitewater in
this state, appointed in 1889, when
Martin Van Buren, was President
and for one or two terms afterwards,
is the Oldest. Possibly this is cor
rect but we think it improbable that
all the men who aoere postmasters
for term or two before that are yet
dead. What brought these claims
of Mr.. Powers and others to their
feet--a year ago--was the announce
ment of the death of Celestine
haltenback, OF POtosl. 1t was
claimed for him that he was the
Oldest postmaster in the United
States, and the claim did not mean
that he had been postmaster at u
time farther back than any other
but that he was postmaster for a
longer time, having been appointed
in 1887, when Jackson was Presi-
dent, and he was still postmaster at
the time of his death, having held
the same office almost continually
during that time. His appointment
was TWO years before that OF Mr..
Powers and he held the office over
fifty years, dying an incumbent in
1891. This leaves Ed Goes prede-
cessor, the lively Mr., Powers, a
good way behind. - Lancaster

blow at their natural prosperity;
that no foreign corporation has the
right to dig up their soil in defiance
of the village authorities, and that
it shall not be done. Legally all
the right in the case seems to be

The cause OF chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken "Blood Purifiers
and wondered why there was no perms-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study TO
the cause Of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerves have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerves are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest The food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
DIR. Shops Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, 90 it sets
upon the nerves that control these Organs.
