A Fulfilled Prophecy.

At the time of the boom in southern
California gentleman who was about &c
start for the golden land of which so much
was said. and who had "a passion for quot
ing the Bible whenever it was possible,
telegraphed to "a friend already resident in
the west in the following words: ''Read
the second epistle of John, twelfth verse.
The friend looked up the verse and read,
"Having many things to write unto you,
1 would not write with paper and ink,
but | trust TO come unto you and speak
face to face, that our Joy may be full. "
The friend was also "a student OF the
Bible, and from his beautiful home in one
of the loveliest of California towns he sent
back the words:
Delighted TO hear it. Read Deuteron-
omy, eighth chapter seventh to tenth
verses.
The message translated gives the noblest
description of what its grateful inhabitants
love to call Cod country
For the Lord thy, God bringeth thee
unto good land, land of brooks of
water. of fountains aud depths chat spring
out OF valleys and hills; a land of wheat
and barley and vines and fig trees and
ponegranates; land of oil olive and
honey; land wherein thou shalt eat bread
without scarceness, thou shalt not lack
anything in it; II land whose stones are
iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest
dig brass. When thcu hast eaten and art
full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy
God for the good land he hath given thee .

The Saving OF Millions.

The Boston Globe recently published
interviews with the leading men of New
Hampshire regarding the wonderful dis
coyery of Prof. Dixi Crosby. The results
we're as satisfactory as they were aston
shing.
The governor, secretary of state, and
all the principal state officials gave their
public Endorsement of the great merit of
the discovery Hundreds of people in
private as well as public life gave their
convincing testimony as TO its perfect
action in every day use.
This important discovery is Puritana,
Dr. Crosby's prize formula. Chief of
Police G. Scott Locke. of Concord, says
that when the astonishing power of Puri-
tana becomes fully known it will save the
people millions of dollars 1t merely re.
quires rapid calculation to show how
much money will thus be saved but it is
impossible to estimate the saving in suf-
fering.
1t is known that % per cent of human
suffering is caused by a disordered
stomach. Puritana makes the stomach
right and health follows as naturally as
day follows night. Eugene f. Low says
that from his standpoint Puritana is a
greater discovery than electricity. 1t
conquers disease and banishes pain. 1t
brings normal. vigorous stomach and
absolutely cures dyspepsia and indigestion
OF many years standing.
The discoverer, Prof Dixi Crosby, NJ
D., LII D., belongs to the famous Crosby
family which for several generations has
furnished physicians and surgeons known
all over the world. He was the son of
DR.. Asa Crosby, who procured the charter
of the State Medical Society. One brother
DR.. Josiah Crosby, invented the invalid
bed and the method of making extensions
of fractured limbs by adhesive strips, and
another brother, DR.. Thomas r. Crosby,
was chief surgeon in Columbia College
Hospital during the war. Dr. Dixi
Crosby himself was the inventor and dis
coverer of important Improvements in
medicine and surgery, including new
and unique mode of reducing meta, carpo-
phalangeal dislocations, opening of abs
cess at hip joint, aud many others. For
thirty two years he was the head of Dart
mouth Medical College. His greatest
achievement was the discovery of an
original method for perfecting and com
pounding in permanent form what has

and which, under the name of Purltana.

Fights between sharks and porpoises are
said to be common in the waters around
the Florida keys, and the fishermen there
about declare that the porpoise always
wins and sends the shark, which usually
begins the fight, scurrying away. The
shark has to turn on it's side to bite, and
the nimble porpoise easily keeps out of
reach OF its swapping jaws and then
jumps in and deals the shark tremendous
slaps with its tail.

VIII Shut Down,

The Knox Lumber company's mill
at Winton will shut down today after
a continuous run of nearly year.
The mill has manufactured during
the summer 1000, 900 feet of lumber
and the winter run produced 100000
feet thus making total cut for the
winter and summer season of 17,000,-
600 feet.
The Knox company have shipped
during the season considerable lum-
Der, mostly cargo shipments, but have
not shipped as much as contracted
owing to the financial depression,
many concerns countermanding their
orders. The countermanded orders
amounting to something like $4,000.
A large camp for putting in logs is
being put in townships 63-i0 and II.
According to statements made by the
company no other camps will be put
in unless the sound money party gets
into power and the tariff On Canadian
lumber is adjusted so sas to protect
the American lumberman.

"And if free-coinage act was pro-

the forty-eight Republicans. This
would reduce the allied silver vote to

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PROMISES.
The Republican party proposes, and
is pledged, not to give the laboring
men cheap dollars: but to give to
every man continuous employment at
fair wages, to be paid in honest dol
lars, which will buy more of the
necessities and comforts of life than
the same classes of labor can get in
any other country in the world.
1t is also pledged, by its platform,
to drive out foreign labor competition
and to supply the home market with
goods manufactured by home labor.
And thus, by giving employment to
the greater part of our population,
which depends upon the mills,
factories and mines, to increase con-
sumption and create a demand for
the products of the farmers. The
farmers will thus be benefited by in
creased demand for, and by better
prices on his produce. And thus hand
in hand, the people of the whole U. S..
will prosper. Is not that sound
common sense?
