MRS. COBLEI6H At HOME.
Peculiar Recovery from an ALL
fnenJ of 20 Years.

Mrs. N. w. COblelgh returned
home last Saturday morning, after
spending several weeks in Wyom-
ing and Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Mrs. Cobleigh left here to receive
treatment for some complaint, from
which she had Seen suffering for a
period extending over 20 years.
She returned almost completely re-
covered in health, and will be thor
oughly we'll in due time.
The recovery was effected at Hot
Springs.
The case of Mrs. Cobleigh puzzled
many physicians, who were never
able to diagnose the case correctly,
and we're unable to give the lady
any relief from frequent attacks OF
nausea, which came upon her when
she was on the street, in social cir
cles, as well as in her own home.
After many attempts to find re-
lief it was thought that a trip to the
Hot Springs and at various eleva-
tions in Wyoming would prove ben
efcial to the lady. When she ar
rived at Hot Springs she placed
herself ncharge OF physicians at
the sanitarium, and while puzzled
over the case they finally decided
that it was one of t@nia: and decid-
ed to treat for the same. The first
treatment was unsuccessful, but
the second, in which the treatment
was increased one-third, proved
successful, but instead of the ply
sicians finding that it was case Of
taenia they were surprised to find
that quite large insect. slightly
resembling a spider, had been re-
moved from Mrs. Cobleigh's stom=
ach.
A close inspection showed that
while the insect had the body of a
spider its tentacles were almost like
those of 4 crab. 1t wasi in mucous
nest, which seemed to have been
formed from liquids that entered
the stomach, and it's existence was
gained the same as by tania. AS
soon as Mrs. Cooleigh recovered
from the effects Of the treatment she
felt like new person and she Won
dered that SO slight thing could
have been the cause of her 20 years
of misery.
The insect was undoubtedly TAX
en- into the stomach when Mrs. Cob
leigh was quite Young, and by
means of drinking water, possibly
at night when Mrs. Cobleigh was
unable to observe what she was
drinking.

THE BIC DAM.

T. W. Graham, of Dubuque, Iowa,
representing the Dubuque Turbine
& Roller Mill Co., arrived here over
the Northwestern last Monday
afternoon, in response to a letter
from A. G. Burmeister to that CON-
pany asking for an engineer for the
purpose of submitting plans and
specifications for the construction of
the big dam across the Redwood
river just south ofthe bridge.
Mr.. Graham went all over the
property Monday afternoon and
evening and Tuesday morning, re-
turning to Dubuque on Tuesday
afternoon for the purpose of draught-
ing the plans and specifications. He
expects to have them in Mr.. Bur-
meister's hands in a very short
time
The construction of the dam will
be more expensive than at first es-
timated, according to Mr.. Graham s
ideas. The fact that it is to be
dam that is to withstand all pres
sure adds to the cost, while the
most expensive part is the construc-
tion of the flume leading to Mr..
Burmeister mill ana electric light
station. This will necessitate the
tunneling under the street just east
of the bridge, or the construction
of pipe line around the river to
the mill. 1t is believed that the
latter would be the most expensive.

PREsENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BIT O. aRosyESoR DAVE.

Be not Of the tribe that sit back and
find fault; be OF those who ret forth and
strive. "Just doing things" may not
gain for you 20 great = reputation for wis
dom, as lazily telling how TO do; yet you
have chosen the better part even though
the harder. Wise head waggings are
nothing compared with one clear visioned
purpose worked out seriously.
It does not take particularly wise man
to discover defects in the sun; It does take
q very wise man to understand It's full
glory and power, Notwithstanding the
spots, Amy short-sighted creature who
thinks that he himself rises higher by dis
coyafing defects In others, CAM find out
Shiny things and bugs In the grandest
tree that ever did its forest duty; but II
takes man with feeling soul to stand
far enough away to see no defects and to
admire The symmetry Of the leafy giant.
It Is better to strive and fall than not
to strive at all. Neither criticism nor even
knowledge Of our own shortcomings
should deter us from working out as best
we can the purposes within US. In all
probability we are here only once, and
after that SO far as the world j. concerned,
only the working OF the thread OF our do
ings into the tapestry OF the worlds wide
life.
Then why not do our little feariesslyf
The man who works knows something OF
the lust OF battle; the man who finds fault
has no such JOY. 1t takes the strength OF
manhood to produce any noticeable result
In the world; how less than nothing,
therefore, Is the total value OF soothing at
effort. The tardy fruits OF long endeavor
are sweeter to look at than the skeletons
OF the destroyed efforts OF others.
The only one who has the right to criticise
is he tho has earned his right by the blood
and the sweat OF his endeayor; yet even
then not right to criticise methods and
means. but only inaction. The crime OF
doing nothing, hoping nothing, expecting
nothing, foreseeing nothing, prophesying
nothing Is one that doors have the right
to denounce. Stress and strain free the
wings; inaction keeps US slothful worms.
The world does not clamor for advice,
but II demands service-service that Is our
own and not dissections OF our neighbors.
The test stone of all striving ones is s'ser-
vice.. No man who Is spending and be-
ing spent for his day and the days to
come, can be all wrong, no matter how
much his methods may differ from ours.
His working makes all things well; just
as the motion of the waters In the well Of
cripture carried healing In their turmoil.
fhe worker beside us may be out OF touch
with us; even out OF sympathy; possibly
quite wrong from our point OF view
though none Of US Ii all right-but the
immutable laws OF the good universe will
bring his dross to naught, while the silver
and the gold Of him will endure. More

When men wore clothes like these,
Charles III. OF England issued a
proclamation suppressing coffee
houses. He considered them shot
beds of sedition and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses, having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
Perhaps if it had been possible
for King Charles to have known
such coffee as we have to-day, the
kind that is sold by Chase & San
born, he would have done different.
No one can fail to be benefited

NEW YORK INTERESTED.
Succinct Statement OF What Is
Likely to Happen Because
Quay is turned Down.

New York people are looking upon
the unseating of Quay, as senator
from Pennsylvania, as an indication
that there is something in the wind.
The Telegraph, the bona fide Tam
many paper of the city, has the fol-
lowing to say of the matter:
The unseating of Senator Quay was
as pretty q piece of knife work on the
part of Mr.. Hanna as has been seen
since that fat and amiable gentleman
took his seat in the senate.
1t was in entertaining duel, not yet
finished, although Mr.. Quay has re-
tired badly wounded for the time be-
ing. 1t was conflict between bosses,
both great, both clever. both vindictive
Hanna's enmity to Quay had it's birth
in the constant exhibitions of indepen-
dence on the part Of the Pennsylvania.
Hanna, used to preferring his requests
with blacksnake whip, and accustom-
ed all his life to servility and Difference,
has always hated Quay because he had
to crawl at the feet of that master Of
Republicans in Pennsylvania, and has
been looking for an opportunity to get
rid of the man who humiliated him.
Consequently when the chance presen-
ted itself, Hanna inserted into the side
or Quay long, thin, well sharpened
knife, and then turned and twisted It
to his hearts content.
Quay has always been guerilla lea

ever since that time the whole block has
been used for county purposes.
The second floor of the Wikidal block
was largely occupied for law offices,
among which had been Brown & Meyer,
and after the war; Meyer & Henderson;
James d. Brown was the father-in-law
of Charles F. Manderson. Before our
civil war Mr.. Manderson was quite an
active Democrat, and was a good and
fearless soldier. He filled the office of
colonel and very soon identified himself.
with the Republican party. A few years
after the war both Mr.. Brown and Col.
Manderson moved to Omaha, Neb., and
the latter soon became an honored
worker in the Republican party in Ne
braska and served several terms as
United States senator from that state.
He still resides there. ]. d. Brown was
in declining health when he went there
and only lived a few years thereafter.
The late Seraphim Meyer has been
well known in this county, having been
quite a successful lawyer, and occupy
ing the office of judge Of the courts for
several terms. He had been Demo-
crat, but at the outbreak Of the rebel
lion enlisted and served as brave and
fearless soldier and for some years was
identified with the Republican party.
He finally returned 10 the support Of the
