OBITUARY.

Charles W. Fields was born in Bur-
lington, Conn.,, in 1922. In lis youth he
worked In clock factory in Bristol,
Conn, learning there the cabinet makers
trade. Later he spent some years travel
ing through the Southern States, and af-
forwards engaged in business in New Ha.
ven, Conn.,, which he conducted eight
years till Ill health, caused by close CON
finement, obliged him to sell out and join
the westward march of civilization. He
was one of the early settlers of Howard
county, moving here from New Haven in
1857, and attending the land sale at Osage
where he bought the farm IN Saratoga
township, upon which he lived and labor
ed, enduring the hardships and privations
of Il pioneer life, working always beyond
his strength. till after nearly quarter of
a century of failing health forced him to
leave the farm, and in 1881 he began
conducting the business of a general
store at Saratoga, which he continued
successfully till 1891, when he disposed
of his business and retired from active
life, moving to Cresco, Iowa, where he
has since lived.
He was married in 1850 to Mary w.
Fields. and OF the four children born to
them, three survive. The eldest Mary A.,
wife OF Il. A. Cut; ng, died nj 1878. Of
his eight brothers and sisters, A. IL.
Fields, of Rochelle, Ills, is the only one
now living.
Daring the thirty nine years that he
lived in Howard county, he was intluen.
tial III political and religious circles, and
served the township aud the county in
numerous official capacities.
His last sickness, complication of
stomach and liver troubles, began in
May, 1894, and since that time with the
exception of few months in the sum
mer of 1895, he has been confined to the
home and much of the time to bis bed,
suffering much in body bnt calm and
tranquil in spirit. He went to his rest
June 81, 1896, aged % years.
Tho deceased was a member of the
First Baptist Church of New Haven.
Conn, when married in 1850, having uni
ted some time previous to that date. He
atterward united with the Riceyille
church and, on removal to Cresco, with
the Baptist church here. His urblem-
ished life in this as in every other rela-
ton has eudeared him to all who knew
him in the highest degree. Funeral ser.

AN INTERESTING MEDICINE.
What DR.. Wuerth Thinks About It.

DIR. Wuerth says he has noticed in
many cases that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablits not only cured the indiges-
ton, but that a very noticeable in
crease of flesh resulted where people
who used the tablets were thin and
run down in flesh before taking them
and it is not at all surprising that
such should be the case when it is re-
membered that most people are thin
because their stomachs are out of or
der, and when perfect digestion is
brought back an increase of flesh is
the natural accompaniment.
Within the last six months many
thousand cases of stomach trouble
and dyspepsia have been cured by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and their
convenience and popularity is such
that druggists everywhere are now
selling them. The price is SO cents
per package and if your druggist has
not yet ordered them he will get them
for you from his wholesaler; they are

WORLDS GREATEST RIDERS.
Famous Equestrlans to be seen only
with Ringing Bros, Shows.

With an enterprise and lavish dis
regard of expense entirely original
with themselves, Ringing Brothers,
the famous proprietors of the Worlds
Greatest Shows have this year en-
gagged not only all the leading male
and female riders of the United States
and thus left to other shows the al
tentative of either sacrificing this inn
portant feature of an arenic exhibit
ton or of accepting performers of
mediocre ability, but they have also
secured every notable equestrian that
the European circuses have brought
into prominence during the past two
or three seasons. Mike Rooney, who
heads the list of champion male riders
is one of the youngest. but already
the greatest bareback somersault
equestrian in the world. The bare
back celebrities of the past were
amateurs compared to this superb
artist. Associated with him are Will
liam D. Mott, Chas. Arson, jerome
world-famous riders Among the
numerous female riders, Elena Ry-
land claims especial attention for her
finished and sprightly performance.
She is the :personitication of grace
and deXterity, and has been justly
named the "Queen of the Arena. !"
This beautiful and dashing equest-
rienne is ably seconded by Lizzie
Rooney, Josie Nelson, Sallie Hughes,
Marion Leslie and dozen other
equestriennes, each of whom is an ar
tiste of International celebrity. In
addition to this notable array of
riders, Ringing Brothers offer The
most complete concourse of high-class
acrobatic, aerial, gymnastic and
other arenic novelties ever presented
by q circus management, including
the world-famous Nelson Family, the
greatest acrobats of the age. Many of
these artists have been especially i'm
ported by Ringing Bros. for tn is
season, and will return to Europe i'm
gagement with these enterprising
managers. Among many other novel,
ties, especial attention has been given
to the trained animal features of the
exhibition, which include three dis
tinct herds of marvelously educated
elephants, wonderfully trained sheep
and goats. whole schools of reason
endowed horses and ponies, and a
complete pig circus, combining the
most incredible exhibitions Of animal
intelligence, with the indicrcus antics
antics of the porcine clown. Ring

prietors of this record-breaking ex
position. The two performances to

To Our Friends and Customers,

After having several years expert
ence in doing business on the credit
system, we have come to the conclu-
sion to make change. On the first
day of August 1896, we will commence
to do strictly cash bushes. We
know that we can demonstrate to
GU the fact that the cash system will
be to your benefit as much as ours.
Friends and customers, do not think
that we are trying to impose upon
you by adopting the cash system. If
you could have the experience the
same as we have had, and see our
books at the end of the year you would
adopt the cash system. We know
that we can sell you goods cheaper
on cash basis. Therefore you will
be saving money and it will save us
great deal of trouble. Thanking
you all for your valued favors in the
past, and hoping to be favored with
your patronage in future, we remain,
Yours truly

That "5O-Cent S.

The ''50-cent dollar" is the product
of legislation which established the
present gold standard" Silver de-
monetization and gold appreciation
brought about entirely by law, are
its parents. Legislation made it-leg
islation in the interest of the gold
gamblers who now denounce their
work. Under free coinage there was
no "5O-cent dollar" The bullion in
the silver dollar in 1878, when demon
etized, was worth $1.Os in gold. Legis.
lation in the interest of Wall and
Lombard streets denying silver mint
ing privilege and giving what was
coined but limited legal tender, re-
duced the value of the bullion in the
silver dollar to so and go cents. The
restoration of the law as it existed
from 1892 to 1878 will restore the silver
bullion of the dollar to its coined
value as it cons family maintained
during eighty years of free coinage
and full legal tender given it. Dis
honored and scorned by the rich, de-
monetized and repudiated by the
government in their interest, it is still
the money of the people; it buys their
products, employs their labor, buys
their groceries and other merchandis,
and coined silver dollar buys as
much of everything, except gold, as
it ever did. This power is given it by
the fiat of law, and with equal coin
age given it with that given to gold
there will be no "5O-cent dollar" The
man who has 4124 grams of standard
silver bullion will not part with 1t for
half dollar if he can haye it coined
into legal tender dollar worth 100
cents. This free coinage is given to
gold at government expense nearly
everywhere, and no man with grain
sense will part with his gold bullion
for less than its coined value. For
money there is universal demand. 1t
is the medium of exchange for labor
and all of it's produ cts. Its value for
the procurement of these depends
upon its quantity in use. With q
limited upply little will buy much
and labor unemployed goes hungry
and half clad. In the interest OF
humanity the "5O-cent cent dollar
should be repealed by the same au-
thority that created it, by act of con-
gress, without waiting for any other
government on earth.
