The large number who attended
the entertainment given by Miss Lau-
raine Mead's pupils at her home Sat-
urday evening last, assisted by Mr..
VIM. ]. Mead, violinist, and Master
Frank Thaler, harpist, enjoyed a rich
treat. From the first number, by the
orchestra class, the audience felt that
it would enjoy musical treat, and
its interest and enthusiasm remained
unabated to the end of the program.
Every number was exceedingly well
rendered, clearly demonstrating Miss
Mead's ability as an instructor in In
strumental music. When all did SO
we'll, very little discrimination can be
made regarding the respective num-
bers. The piano solos by Miss Gene
We've Dissmore, Miss Ruth Ling, and
Miss Emma Anderson were executed
with skill and sympathetic express
sion that evidenced great capabilities
and won high commendation. The
other artists were also at their best,
each number being specially admir-
able.

Iowa Carries off Honors at the Ma
tional Butter Show.

The merits of Iowa butter has been
demonstrated to the public and to
those interested in its manufacture
many times in the past few years.
Last week, at the convention of the
National Butter Makers association,
where over 400 exhibits of fancy
creamery butter and exhibits from
every part of the United States were
examined with a view to selecting the
grade for points in color, flavor, salt
ing and general taste. The point of
perfection in fancy creamery is desig-
mated as 100. Mr.. N. H. Miller of
Randall, Iowa, had on exhibition a
sample Of butter made by himself,
which received the highest scoring of
$3.50. Mr.. H. o. Kjomerie, of De-
corah, Iowa, received second prize
for the gathered cresm, which scored
94.e3, the highest score being SO. 16s
There were for most entries III from
Minnesota and Iowa ITO. The winner
of the first prize, Mr.. Miller, also won
first prize at the Iowa Dairy associ-
alton exhibit in November last, his
score there being 80 points.
Mr.. Irwin Paul, of Springville,
Iowa, was elected president of the
National Butter Makers association.
Out of the number of states in the
field for prizes and for officers, Iowa
has taken a goodly share, and has
achieved her due credit for the extent
and the perfection of her dairy indus
try.

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, says
that the country has never experienced
such hard times as in 1857. money
was not only scarce, but there was no
money in circulation-none to be had
anywhere. Along the Chippewa,
Black, Mississippi, aud other rivers
sawlogs were legal tender. In fact,
everything that possessed any sort of
value passed as token money. Up In
northern Wisconsin copper was mined,
and copper cents were mintGxl and Is

The proclamation of President
Cleveland creating forest reserve as

men, sets forty-two townships aside
for this purpose in the Black Hills
region of South Dakota, fully $4,000
people having their homes on these
lands covered with timber and being
the lumber section of the Black Hills
country. The hills in the entire AZ
townships are gold-bearing. The
proclamation, if allowed to remain in
force, will destroy the mining in
dustry, besides robbing $4,000 people
of their homes and the Improvements
they have made. We trust that the
incoming president may set aside this
last act OF infamy OF Grover Cleveland.

Miles, professor of astronmy, geology,
and instructor of commercial law in
the New Mexico College of a griculture
and Mechanic Arts, says of DR.. Bnell' S
treatment:
MESILLA PARK, January %, 1897.
To sufferers from Hernia: [ beg
leave to state that [ have found an
effectual and radical cure in the method
practiced by DIR. Buell., OF San Fran
cisco. l suffered from a direct inguinal
hernia on the right side for thirteen
years and four months, and wore truss
(torture to the tlesh) every day during
that time. [ was treated by DR.. Buell.
about two months ago and am con-
WINGED that radical cure has been
effected. | have laid aside my truss
and attend to every day duties in per-
feet comfort, without any sign of the
hernia descending. So completely is
the opening filed in with new tissue
that no trace of the natural opening
can be felt and | consider reoccurrence
impossible. 1t occurs to me to write
this testimonial over my name for the
benefit of those suffering as [ have
been. [ beg to urge every sufferer
from rupture who can possibly do so to
take advantage of this treatment. 1t
is effective and practically painless, no
time lost and as [ see it no risk incurred
by the treatment.
Very respectfully,
GEO. w. MILES.
