There is nothing in the world so good
to take to make you feel well and strong
as DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Testimonials by thou
sands from all classes of people have
been published, showing its marvellous
effects in making the sick well, the
weak strong, and now our clergymen
have become interested, and for the
peoples good urge them to use this
wonderful cure, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, in order to
get well, for they are convinced that it
is the most valuable medicine in the
world to-day.
Rev. E. J. Miller of Albion, N. Y,
the eminent divine. who represents the
Boston fremont Temple Society as
missionary to India, was broken down
with overwork, liver trouble and ma
laria, and is now on vacation, in search
of health, has found both health and
strength in the use of DR.. Greene's
Nervura. He says:
81 returned to America broken in
health, with bad catarrh, neuralgia,
and stomach and liver trouble. The
whole top of my head felt numb, so
that at times l was robbed of my think
ing powers, and could not do any work
with ease. Having consulted num-
Der of doctors and taken their medi-
cines, / received no relief whatever.
81 was induced to try DR.. Greene's
Nervura, which worked like charm,
and produced the onged-for results.
My head and whole system is now clean
from catarrh, neuralgia and fever.
l can now study and do my work
with satisfaction. In fact l feel like

a new man in health and strength.
81 therefore feel it my duty and
great pleasure to recommend this ex-
cellent remedy, DR.. Greene's Nervura,
which certainly has done so much for
me-" s. "a
Rev. F. H. Buffum of Winchester,
n. H., who is Grand Army Chaplain
for New Hampshire, says:
"The remedial effect of DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy on the
weaknesses and nervous prostration of
my wife was so positive and speedy
that we can heartily testify to its I'M
donbted merits"
Presiding Elder Rev. j. w. Walker
of Fort Dodge, Iowa; Rev. G. d. r..
Meacham, pastor Baptist Church, Town
send, VT; Rev. G.. l.. Wells of Hard
wick, VT; Rev. Henry Langford of
Weston, w. Va, and many other we'll
known ministers of the Gospel in all
parts Of the country, all of whom have
been cured by this great remedy, enthu-
siastically urge the people to use DR..
Greene's Nervura by all means, if they
wish to be sure of cure, for health
and strength always follow its use.
Remember that DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy is no
common patent medicine, but the pre-
scription of one of our best-known
physicians, the discovery of DR.. Greene
of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
the most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, hence
the medicine is of nece 'sity perfectly
adapted to cure. DIR. Greene also can
be consulted free, personally or by
letter, in regard to any case.

AGRICULTURAL.
A Study Of Prices.

Some Of the most important ques-
tions which confront the farmers to-
day are, What causes the low prices of
farm products7 How long will they
last? Is there any remedy for them?
How shall we manage while they last?
In our exchanges we find these ques-
tions quite fully discussed, and we can
do no better than to place some of
these various views before our readers.
First we reproduce an editorial from
the Country Gentleman;
THE FALL OF PRICES.
The record of export prices, while
illustrating the effect of manifest
causes in lowering values of farm
products, shows neither a uniform re-
duction nor permanent and continu-
Gus decline. 1t does not threaten the
farmer with sliding scale leading to
collapse and bankruptcy. A large ele-
ment in the reduction has been the
lessened cost of transportation, narrow
ing the margin between eastern and
western prices, sometimes helping the
prairie farmer while hurting his brother
of the sea-coast. Another cause, over
production, applies only to certain
crops-a few great staples. The fol-
lowing export prices, as compiled
from official records from the Cincin-
natl Price Current, show heavy de-
cline as compared with previous
decades, and some falling off as COM
pared with last year for all products
named except wheat, flour and cotton:
Dill Drccndinn Innr Ic..rs

There has been little decline in meats
and in tobacco. Sailed beef stands at
the average of the preceding decade.
Butter and cheese are materially re-
duced. The heaviest decline is in &C.
reals and cotton, the result of over
production. 1t is plainly seen that
there is no uniformity in the price re-
duction.
There has been little if any change
in the price of tobacco in quarter OF
century, though a comparison with the
previous quarter would show an in
crease. Cheese has declined because
of inferior average quality and the bad
repute due to the sale of filed cheese.
Butter is lower because we export only
low qualities, while other nations sell
superior grades. Meats have declined
somewhat, as compared with the earlier
decade of relative scarcity, in this
country and Europe, but not much in
the past twelve years. Wheat is higher
than last year, but materially lower
than in the seventies and eighties, be-
cause of larger production in Russia
and Argentina. Corn doubled in value
in single year, and its price depends
mainly on the quantity grown in this
country. Cotton is another crop that
depends on little else than production
in the United States, and the consump-
ton in the mills Of Europe and this
country.
The course of prices in interior mar
kets is often attended with extreme
fuctuaton. A study of Chicago stock
exchange prices presents some remark
able vagaries. For No. 2 corn, the
lowest since 1860 was twenty cents in
1861, though the highest rate of the
same year was forty-fve cents. The
highest in this long period was 112
cents in 1867, with fifty-six and one
half cents as the lowest quotation the
same year. The lowest in 1863 was
just twice that of 1862. The lowest
quotation for No. 2 oats was thirteen
cents in 1861, next was sixteen cents in
1860 and 1862, and sixteen and one
half cents in 1895. The highest in the
period was ninety cents in 1864, eighty
0ne cents in 1866, seventy-four cents in
|1S6S. In fourteen years the highest
lowest in the same year, showing the
extreme range of speculative prices.
The next article is by an unknown
correspondent of the same paper. The
last paragraph gives one, and probably
true, explanation of the cause of the
fall in prices, and presents hopeful
outlook for the future, which will prob
ably materialize in time, if Mckinley
is elected:
THE STABILITY OF PRICES.
A critical examination of prices for
fifteen years prior to the existing mon
etary panic fails to show any marked
tendency to decline beyond the usual
and inevitable influence of supply and
demand. The period from the year
before the resumption of specie pay
ments Cat the close of the long depres-
sion which followed the imitation sub
sequent to the war era) to the year be-
fore the present panic, enjoyed as much
uniformity of prices as could be ex-
pected in view of the active immigra-
ton and farm extension, and of the
natural seasonal fluctuation in rate oil
production.
This period is bounded by the years
1878 and 1892, and the average farm
prices of the great food crops in those
wears averaged as follows:

The c. & N. w. Must Pay Up.

The Forest county tax case was tried
at Appleton last week, and the c. l. N.
w. Ry. company was beaten at every
point, but one. The court held that u
town treasurer cannot seize for taxes,
any property necessary for railroad use,
on the ground OF pnblic policy as such
seisure might lead to interference with
the carrying of the mail and Interstate
commerce.. The injunction was modi-
fed so that the town treasurer can now
return the railway lands for taxes to the
county treasurer aud he can proceed to
advertise and sell the same; thecourt held
all taxes of the town of Crandon and OF
the county board, valid and binding upon
the railway company, and laws which
restrict the raising of taxes Ill that
town and county utterly null and void.
This is q great victory for our neighbor,
Forest county, and, i'll case the action is
carried up to the Supreme Court it is to
behoped that the Supreme Judges will
affirm the validity Of the present tax
and the unconstitutionality of the re
strictive laws-Vindicator

What Wa Need,

Now, if ever, Eagle River nesds just what

good. live and energetic organization;
one that will place our natural advant~
ages before the outside world. One that
will have influence upon manufacturing
industries looking for a suita bic location.
We have vast amount OF good fertile
soil around us that is wild and nncnluti-
waited.

One week ago to-day Fred Mcintyre
was compelled, IN his weakened condi-
ton, to undergo a second surgical opera
ton, for the relief of the purulent pleu-
erisy, OF which he has suffered so long.
At this operation DIR. Neville informs us,
he drew Off nearly as much liquid as at
the first operation. He also introduced
a drainage tube to permit the free escape
of the purulent liquid AZ fast as it forms,
to facilitate the washing out OF the chest
cavity, which will have to be done at in
teryals OF a few days until the diseased
condition is cured At this writing Fred
is much improved in strength and spirits
and if his present appetite keeps up we
will, ere long, be pleased to note same i'll
reference to his flesh. DR.. Neville is ell
titled to considerable credit should he
succeed in bringing Fred through Both
operations have been very delicate, as
well as dangerous ones, and Fred's I'M
proved condition since speaks very high

BLIND PIG.

The existence of one of the regular
Dakota "blind pigs" which has been
dealing out liquor to the thirsty in the
temperance village Of Star Lake for some
time past, was called to II halt in its
illegaEioperation, by the local author
tiles, last week The case was brought
bef ore Municipal Judge Riordan, but an
affidavit of prejudice was filed and Coun-
ty Judge Mcintyre was called in to try
the case
From the evidence introduced we
should Judge the place was conducted III
the true Dakota blind pig" style. A
wheel to cater the liquor to the-custom-
tr, and SO arranged as to completely
hide the identity of the dispenser, was
constructed in one end of the room. In
this way the dispenser of the wet goods
thought himself secure from the clutches
went smoothly enough. The same wheel
that carried the liquor to the customer,
returned to the dispenser the price of the
|sliquor, The place was gathering i'll the
shining shekles in goodly numbers. But
his path was not to be one of continual
roses. On the contrary he has found it
to be one OF thorns. The place was re
pulsive to the better element OF that lit
tie village. Complaints were circulated.
Last December ]. f. Scholtz was ar
rested on the charge of illegal selling Of
liquor in the above place. He was taken
before Justice Martin at Arbor Vitae,
plead guilty, and paid fine of $75 and
costs. But the pill, which under ordin-
ary circumstances ought to be pretty
effective. proved to be stimulating, as
active operations i'll dispensing OF wet
goods was immediately renewed. The
local authorities were notified, Sheriff
O'Connor Went over aud brought Mi.
Scholtz before Judge Rlordan. Sanborn
& Walsh We're employed by the defend
ant and the case adjourned until last
Thursday.
a Jury was called and after the state
had introduced it's testimony, the defense
also rested.
The jury quickly returned verdict of
guilty and the Judge imposed a fine OF
$75. 90 and costs. which amounted i'll all
to $26l.0O, and to Imprisonment in the
county jail for four months.
Notice OF appeal has been filed, but as
yet Scholtz has been unable to get bonds
and is now safely ensconsed in the Jail.

Political Pointers.
(By "Mack.")

Ii the republican party will pursue the
same tactics in the approaching cam
paign their representatives are in con-
gress, the democrats need only make
their nominations and 40 home; the re-
publicans will beat themselves. In fact
they are i'll a sad dilema. AS party
their members in congress are expected
TO make such q record as shall help the
party out on the stump. But the man
who wields the gavel in the lower house
OF congress is candidate for the presi-
dency on their ticket, or hopes to be, and
he wants congress to SO shape its course
of conduct that his chances will III no
way be jeopardized. AS he has figured
it out, this means that they shall simply
do nothing. OF course this way of doing
business is fearful blow to such repub-
lican papers who howled so loudly about
what the republicans would do ayhen
they got a majority in congress. Bnt
journalism proposes and Tom Reed dis
poses
What great chunks OF sorrow must
arise i'll the average republican throat aa
the citizen of that party contelnplatea

have for some time back enthusiastically
beIabored the populist party and what
they were pleased to call it's vagaries.
and are now compelled to see the leaders

How equally humiliatng must be the
| TACT that their party leaders will be call
ed upon while on the stump to explain
away their action. Not that there was
anything SO vitally wrong or bad in as
socatiug. even to secure the organiza-
ton of the senate, with the populist
members, who are the peers, il not the
superiors, of their compatriots in the re-

for even republican to explain, despite
the fact that the action of that party
keeps it's members everldstingly explain
ing and apologizing.
