7. Smoker is actively supporting
Aldro jerks for county Judge, and
bitterly opposing George II. Whit

Grandpa tells about Che time when he and

grandma started life. Their home was log
cabin. and they depended for a livelihood upon
their strong muscles and brave hearts. Grandpa
worked from sun to sun clearing away forests.
Grandma made her own and grandpa's clothes.
She even spun tho cloth. She worked for
weeks to produce the crudest garments. Every
thing was done by hand.
There is lesson in health in grandpa's sto-
ries. He tells about how hard he and grandma
worked. but he doesn't tell how hard they
slept. He tells of the long hours of labor, but
not of the long hours of rest. He doesn't tell
of their simple, plain food-of how perfectly
they digested and assimilated it.
People nowadays do not depend so entirely
upon their musclesfor livelihood. The great
est strain IS on their brains. They scheme and
plan by day, and whom night comes their brains
refuse to rest. They keep late hours. They
rnsli-they hurry. They are perpetual motion
machines. They eat every sort of indigestible
thing that cooks concoct
Almost before childhood is past indigestion
begins. People begin to die just when they
onght to live. Constipation is the first serious
aiment. It is an air. brake on the body's ma
chinery. When the bowels do not work the
whole body stops The blood becomes impure
because the digestive organs do not throw of
the waste material in the system. The whole
organism limps along like man on crutches.
The nerves are tantalized and sting the brain
like nettles. As consequence, people become
irritable. ill-tempered and respondent. Then
the general health breaks down, and some
deadly disease like nervous prostration or con-
sumption sets in.
Men and women nowadays need to resort oc-
casionaly to some frst-class tonic. They need
something that will tone up the stomach and
put an edge on the appetite. They need some
thing to stimulate their livers. They need
something to brace them up generally. The
best something" of this description is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t will
make man hungry as horse" 1t will
make hini sleep like top" 1t viii get him
up IN tue morning fresh and bright as new
dollar. He will walk down the street with
feeling OF vim and vigor in every muscle. He
will work all day like steam engine. He will
come home in the evening tired. but so hungry

covery" is the great blood. maker and flesh
builder. 1t cures SO per cent. of all cases of
consumption and diseases of the air-passages as

Strange New Shrub that Cures Kidney and
Bladder Disease. Rhe umatism, etc.-Free.

We have previously described the new Boz
tanic discovery, Alkavis, which proves spe-
ciic cure for diseases caused by Uric acid in the
blood, or disorder of the Kidneys or urinary
organs. 1t is now stated that Alkavis is a
product of the well-known Kava-Kava Shrub.
and is specific cure for these diseases just as
quinine is for malaria. Hon. r. G. Wood, of
Lowell. Ind, writes that in four weeks Alkavis
cured him of Kidney and bladder disease of ten
years standing, and Rev. Thomas u. Owen, of
West Pawlet, VT, gives similar testimony.
Many ladies also testify to its wonderful cnra-
tive powers in Disorders peculiar to woman
hood. The only importers of Alkavs so far
are the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 418 Fourth
Avenue, New York. ami they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of introduc-
tion they will send free treatment of Alkavis
prepaid by mail to every reader of The Ma
rIoNAL tribune who is a Sufferer from any
form of Kidney or Bladder disorder. Bright's
Disease. Rheumatism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in
Back, Female Complaints, or other affiiction
due to improper action of the Kidneys or
Urinary Organs. We advise all Sufferers to
send their names and address to the company
and receive the Alkavis free. 1t is sent to you
entirely free, to prove its wonderful curative
mower.

1t was well for Washington that he entered
upon his duties in this spirit. or he never could
have carried to successful conclusion the great,
long war for independence hampered as he
was by an unframed army, without necessary
arms and munitions of war, or food and cloth
ing for his men.
Writing to friend during the war he said ::
I'VE have lived upon expedicnts until we can
live no longer. In word, the history OF the war
is a history of false hopes and temporary de-
vices, instead of system and economy"
But supported by the spirit of liberty, guided
by the hand of Providence, Washington, by
his wisdom and virtue and unselfsh patriotism,
led his men to victory, His retreat through
the Jerseys, his stand at Princeton and Trenton,
his fortitude at Valley Forge during the dread
full Winter of 1777-'7S and his heroic bearing at
the surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorktown, all
show that his virtues have not been excelled in
modern or ancient warfare. great American

In our civil war many Europeans. including
the newiy elected President of the Swiss Re-
public, came over to enlist in the Union armies,
though not all remaining to become citizens.
What great motive compelled these men to
take the stand they did? 1t was not from any
hope of reward, nor was it from pure friendship
alone? 1t was rather that by their example and
self-sacrifce they might strengthen the strug-
gle for human progress. and so give impetus TO
the principles of universal liberty which were
springing up in their own native lands.
When Fort Sumter was fred upon Canadians,
English, Scotch, Irish, Germans, Hungarians.
and men of other nationalities came to the

their convictions in face of the unjust charge
that they were foreign mercenaries.-Orrin r.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: @. A. Bell,
Co. M, 10th Mo. Cav, wants me to tell " the
incident at Bowers's Mills, No." while we
were stationed there. There were a great
many incidents that took place there, for it
was noted place. There was a band of
guerrillas organized west of Bowers's Mills,
near little place called Sherwood, on
Turkey Creek, near the Kansas line There
were about 400. They annoyed us q great
deal.
We ran onto them on JOnes's Creek, south
of Bowerss Mills, Jan. 8, 1863, routed them
from their stronghold and fought them until
about 10 o'clock at night, when they left.
AT another time they ran onto Co. G. of nv
command at Bowers's Mills, and were driven
away by Co. c. We lost one man killed.
Capt Bowers volunteered to 60 to Mt.
Vernon for the burial outfit, and on his re-.
turn he was attacked by two guerrillas. 1t
was dark. Bowers fired at the flash of q
gun, and he heard the fellow yell. The
other fellow shot at Bowers, and Bowers
could not fire again, for some reason. The
rebels ran, and Bowers went on. Upon ex-
animation he found he had caught the ball
in the cylinder of his gun, which saved him.
1t was close call.
Once the guerrillas captured our forage
train, and corralled the boys in q house.
We kept them off until they got help from
the camp. There were several Of the BUSH
whackers wounded, none killed. None of
cur men were hurt. We chased them from
Avilla, northwest, down Dry Fork of Spring
River; overlook them near Preston, and had
considerable fight, finally routing them.
They ran into some Kansas troops, and were
scattered all over the country in small
squads. I, with a few men, captured some
of them above Carthage, on Spring River
