A man in the darkness of hopeless dis
ease is of all men most miserable. When
doctors and medicines innumerable have
been tried and found wanting, and loving
friends vainly urge upon him the food he
cannot eat aud which brings him no nour-
ishment or strength, what is to be done?
Men and women who have sunken 30
far into weakness and disease that the
whole body seems to be permeated and
poisoned by it have found health,
strength and vigor through the transform:
ing, electrifying power of that wonderful
"Golden Medical Discovery" which Dr..
r. v. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hu-
mainly.
During all the years since then this mar
velous Discovery has been building up
weak and debilitated constitutions by its
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. It gives the digestive or
ganism keen power aud capacity to appro-
pirate every ife-giviug element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans
forms it into rich, highly vitalized blood
and healthy flesh, bone, sinew aud nerve
fiber.
Consumption in all its earlier stages Is
arrested and counteracted by the tissue

The DECLINING INTEREST RATES

THE DECLINING INTEREST RATES
MINI .apolis Tribune:-The pres
ident of a large saving bank in
New York, which has reduced the
rate of interest on all real estate
mortgages from Al to 4 per cent,
d. ;lares that the superabondance OF
money is. likely to continue and
that it's earning power is bound to
gov less. He also states that the
best income to BIZ realized from
securities outside of the real estate
which the banking laws permit
savings institutions to invest in is
but a fraction over three per cent.
He includes in this category
government, state and municipal
bonds. He is firmly convinced
that cheap money has come to
stay.
This bears out the recent sur
mise of President Stickney, If tn,
Great Western road, that the next
business boom in this country
would be based upon three per cent
interest rates. This rate is already
obtainable by large corporations,
and is bound to stimulate great
enterprises, such as the building
of railroads, tbs construction of
factories, the extension of mer-
chandlsing operations, and the
erections of building. When it
gets down to the ordinary run of
business men and the agricultural
community, their facilities for do.
ing business will be greatly en-
HANGED, and we shall witness a
vast expansion of the volume of
exchanges. The next rise in real
estate values will probably come
from low interest rates. A prop.
erty which will pay 3 per cent net
was formerly not regarded as es.
pecially desirable; but IN the future
it is probable that such property
will be snatched up at higher
prices than those now prevailing.

IVAN SAINT FOR DAVIS.

Capt: Van SAINT was a supporter

whether Van SAINTS election as

statement through the Minneapolis

TUESDAY. FEB ]. 1873.
AN EXPLANATION.

This issue of the Transcript ia a
special Tuesday edition Of the
Weekly Transcript. 1t is pub
lished for the purpose Of supply
ing the subscribers of the Weekly
Transcript with the local and
general news often r than once a
week.
Most of the postofices in the
county receive mail daily, and
nearly all of them receive mail
two or more times week. 1t
would seem of benefit to country
readers of the Transcript to receive
tn news oftrner than once week,
and therefore this special SPACE
edition is published Tuesday. The
regular Friday edition will be
iss I'd as heretofore on Friday,
and will also consist of 8 pages.
The continuance of this Tues
day edition will depvnd upon its
usefulness. The editor has con-
suited number of farmers OF the
county concerning this move, and
they invariably expressed the
opinion that the readers of the
Weekly would BE- pleased to re-
ceive the news oftener than once
a week. If experience confirms
that, the Tuesday edition will OF
permanent.
1t is therefore very. probable
that the Weekly Transcript will
hereafter appear in two editions
each week, each edition being as
large as any other paper in the
county. The substitution price
will remain the same-$1 so a
year. The next few weeks will
certainly be test of the PROPOSE
ton, as the present time IS the
dullest season of the year both in
news developments and bu> mess.
IF you have an opportunity,
please inform the Transcript how
the change in publication i'm.
presses you.

THE new SHIP OF
OUR NHUHL CADETS.
BY PHILIP HICHBORN.

When the naval cadets in the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis
go ON their annual cruise next season,
1t Will be in a full-r1gged sailing ship.
which will be model of its kind. AS
yet 1t has no name, the bestowal there
of being reserved for the occasion when
1T slides off the ways and takes Its first
dip in sea water.
Many persons who are not familiar
with the navy and the knowledge that
it is necessary an officer therein should
possess, are apt to believe that 1t Is
not essential nowadays that naval men
should be thoroughly familiar with all
that pertains to a sailing vessel. This
is a mistake, for the officers of the navy
are supposed to be able to sail a ship
that has either sails or steam for the
purpose of forcing its way through the
water.
AS in all other lines of life, there have
been improvements in sailing vessels
which it was almost impossible to make
the training ship previously used by
the cadets ait Annapolis represent. For
this reason it was decided t.pat 1T would
be a wise thing to have a vessel con-
that in all details would ena-

concern what is known as the handling
or the ship; that is. furling and UNI
furling the sails. making necessary re-
pairs to the rigging. keeping watch.
etc. The crew of 80 men referred TO
are really the faborers of the ship. the
men who holystone the deck, which
means ITO scrub 1t; who have to keep
everything trim and taut, and whose
iron muscles and experience render
them capable of handling the ship. II
necessary, in a gale where the cadets
il left TO themselves would be apt to
come to grief.
Not only do the men perform these
tasks. but they teach the cadets much
of seamanship that the men before the
mast can impart to the novice IL he
desires. So it can be seen that the
men of the training ship are really am
important part of the human machin-
cry aboard the vessel.
In the matter of masts. the new ves-
sci will be thoroughly up to date. Her
lower masts and her lower yards will
be of steel, the balance of yellow pine
or spruce. To a sailor these facts
show that 1T will take far more than
the ordinary gale to spring these naas&s,
