Official statement issued on the Atti-
 tnde of1h,s Government.
 Washington, Oct. 12,-The following official statement was issued by the state department to-day:
 "Tbe president has received large number of petitions signed by many citizens of distinction, requesting him to tender the mediation of the United States to settle the differencies existing between the government of Great Brit ain and that of the Transvaal. He has received other petitions on the same subject some of them desiring him to make common cause with Great Brit ain to redress the wrongs alleged to have been suffered by the Outlanders, and especially by American citizens III the Transvaal, and others wishing nm to assist the Boers against alleged ag- gression.
 Tt is understood that the president does not think it expedient to take ac- ton in any of these directions. AS te taking sides with either party to the dispute, it is not to be thought or. AS to mediation, the president has received no animation from either of the coun- tries interested that the mediation ol the United States would be accepted and in the absence of such intlmatlof from both parties there is nothing IT the rules of international usage to Jus tifv an offer of mediation in the present circumstances
 Tt is known that the president sin cerely hopes and desires that hostilitles may be avoided but if unfortunately they should come to pass the efforts ol this government will be directed, a! they are at present, to seeing that nelth CT our national interests nor those o1 our citizens shall suffer unnecessary In jury
 London. Oct 12,-The afternoon pa pers express great satisfaction that tht American government has undertaken to protect British interests in tht Transvaal. They say that the Ameri cans are certain to show the same tao and devotion in discharging the respon sibility which aroused the enthusiasm of "our kin beyond the sea- when th' British undertook similar task in thei behalf.

Presto Change.

With all the other good improve
ments being made in this city, one
other important matter should engage
the attention of the dads" of the city,
and that is the REMEMBERING and
marking of the buildings. At an early
date, partial numbering was COM
menced, but from some cause, never
completed, and 1t is important that it
should be finished, not only numbered
but each street should have its proper
name marked and placed so the public
can know the name and number of
each street and building. The cost
would be small in comparison to the
convenience to the public, and should
be attended to at once. 1t is very
difficult to properly direct stranger
to any desirable location in the city,
but If the streets were marked and
buildings numbered no trouble could
result In finding location.
Why not have the work doneY

Mr.. Campbell, when he resided in this

While he yet takes personal interest

"Do chickens psy2" This question
was asked by James Hornby and as
an item of interest in the poultry line,
and pointer to those who are so
situated as to keep poultry on large
scale, we may mention what has been
accomplished in that line by one family
within sight Of Winside. Mr.. Hornby
keeps Barred Plymouth Rocks, on an
average OF about $50 hens. He finds
on counting up that last season they
sold $50 worth of eggs, raised over
1,1O chickens, of which they sold
about 1000, at an average price of
about 20 cents each, and of course had
all the eggs and chickens they cared to
use for table purposes. This was an
income of about $3.50 from that source
alone, and at an expense, outside Of
care aud trouble, that could scarcely
be noticed on their half section farm

County Farm.

We notice by the report in the OBJ
server, that the county has concluded
to appeal from the decision of the
commission as to the damage to the
county poor farm BY the construction
of the Ft. Dodge & Omaha railroad
through the same, and the purchasing
OF another farm, and as the Observer
states it, "the farm should be near q
town" etc, to which we agrees and now
as new farm has been agreed upon,
we suggest the propriety of locating it
near Missouri Valley. We are in q
commercial center Of the county, we'll
supplied with railroad facilities, laid
easy of access, wsth q large demand
for farm products, good market, etc.
Now If good farm can be secured
near this city, we feel satisfied the best
interests of the county demands the
selection to be made of a farm near
Mo. Valley. Here we have every thing
necessary to make this desirable locs-
ton, and we believe good farm can
be secured at q reasonable price that
would be satisfactory to the county
and saving in expenses in running
the same. Let our land agents look to
this matter and see to it that an eli.
gible location is offered the board of
supervisors.

Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kid
neys, is blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures Constipation, Head
ache, Painting Spells, sleeplessness and
Melancholy. 1t is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system
to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bit
tiers and be convinced that they are
