ard was raised on the return of the
present president, Rev. E. II. Rowe.

the presidency of Wesleyan College,
there have been only five young ladies
who have been able to master the full

the literary course.
Following are the graduates in schools:

A very pretty, but quiet morning
wedding took place Wednesday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. A. Whit
more, near Parnassus, when their
daughter, Miss Cora A., became the
bride of Mr. Jefferson Il. Hlner, pop
ular young farmer of that neighbor-
hood. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr.. Wichael, of the Parnassus
Methodist church. The newly mar
ried couple drove to Staunton and took

after which they will make their home
near Parnassus.

Nervous Depression.

Summer months are peculiarly the
months of nervous diseases, especially
nervous prostration and other depressed
states of the nervous system. People
who are not at all inclined to be nervous
or suffer from weak nerves find this
time especially trying. Sultry heat
and electrical disturbances of the at
mosphere are probably the cause Of
this.
lnva1ids need to be particularly care
full to fortify the nervous system by
the use of Peruna.

has been named very differently.
One woman has dyspepsia, another
bronchitis, another Bright's disease,
another liver complaint, another con-
sumption, another female complaint.
These women would be very much sur
prised to hear that they are all suffer
ing with chronic catarrh. But it is SO,
nevertheless.
Each one of these troubles and great
many more are simply catarrh-that is,
chronic Inflammation of the mucous
lining, of which organ is affected. ANY
internal remedy that will cure catarrh
in one location will cure it in any other
location. This is why Peruna has be-
come SO justly famous in the cure of fe-

ever located. It's cures remain. Peruna
does not palliate-it cures.

WHAT ARE THE Give ISSUES"

The Republican press assumes to be
Republican club in Lander county, and
points to it as an evidence that the
people of Lander are ready to bury
dead issues" and take or the live"
ones of today. incidentally, in pass
ing, it may be observed that there
probably are not twenty men in Land
er county, perhaps not ten. who were
straight fusionists in the last election,
and who have since changed. If there
are it would be eminently fitting for
them to give some reasons for the
change.
There is no county IN the State that
has been harder hit by the policy than
Lander. A glance at the once famous
mining camp of Austin is enough to
make any true Nevadan sick at heart.
If there is a Republican in that town
who can point to anything in the poll
cy OF his party which offers the slight
est return for the awful ruin it has
wrought, he owes it as a solemn duty
to his State and county to name It
clearly and specifically Not in vague
platitutes, and far-fetched generalities,
but in plain concise terms upon which
an issue can be made.
1t counts for nothing to swell up
with RHETORICAL bombast and call upon
the voters of the State to support
the Republican party with it's glorious
history" AS well might the Democra-
tic leaders invite the voter to stani
by the Democratic party because of
the glories which attach to the names
of Jefferson and Jackson. The real
questions are: What are the live" is
sues of the day? What is the Rep,lb-
lican attitude upon those issues and
wherein does the policy of the Repub-
lican party promise more for the good
of this State than is likely to flow
from the policy of the Democratic pac-
.ty9
w say lldI SilNSl ID 49,"
besides being untrue in the broad
sense proves nothing in favor Of the
Republican party, but quite the re-
verse. Silver can never be matter of
unconcern to the people of Nevada un-
til mining for that metal ceases to be
an important industry here, which is
far in the future unless the policy Of
the Republican party shall reduce the
price so much lower as to close the
remainder Of our mines. Such is the
tendency of the gold standard policy.
What we want to know is What
have we to gain by abandoing silver?
What does the Republican party offer
us as an inducement? Nothing definite
has yet been presented and it is safe
to say that nothing Of the kind will
be- The address of the Republican
State Central Committee may be taken
as fair index of what the Republican
line of argument will be. The word
argument used in this connection is
something of strain upon the stan
dard dictionary, but we will put IL
quotation marks and let it go at thai
journal.

The South Dakota Horticul-
tural Society at it's annual meet
ing at Madison last month made
the editors of the state honorary
members of the society, that the
editors might the better be quail
fed to spread horticultural in
formation and protect the public
from the stree sharks" and
irresponsible persons who i'm
pose worthless nursery stock on
those who are making an effort
TO beautify their homes. The
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader some
weeks ago said:
The Argus-Leader wants to speak 9
good word for the men who are banded
together to encourage the planting OF
fruit trees and vines in South Dakota.
There are not many of them yet, but
they are doing an immense work or
the state, and are entitled to all credit
for it. It is quite absurd that q state
like South Dakota with its responsive
soil should year after year send away
several hundred thousand dollars
to pay for fruits which could better
be raised from our own soil. 1t has
been repeatedly demonstrated that no
state can raise better apples and
plums and berries than South Dakota,
but so far it cannot be said that there
has been any general movement
towards q change of these conditions.
| To call public attention to this situa-
ton, to prove to land wne that
fruit can be grown in the state, to
give all interested expert instruction
in how to plant and care for trees in
| order to get the best results, and to
spread to others the enthusiasm they
feel themselves is the tack undertaken
! by the South Dakota State HOrtlcul-
tural Society. 1t is q grand work, and
the Argus-Leader for one pledges all
the assistance in its power.
The last legislature made an apprO-
priation sufficient to permit the society
to publish one thousand copies OF the
reports of its next meeting, which is to
be held at Madison, January 1871.
This report will contain all of the
papers, and will be q very valuable
one to the man interested in tree and
| vine culture. The society wants tC
get 1000 members. The fee is only
one dollar q year, and constitutes the
sole support of the organization. Il
1000 men could be found In South
Dakota who would join this society
and talk it to their friends. the state
in a few years would be the richer by
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
life would be made still more pleasant.
If n subscriber who reads this is
interested, he should at once address
N. E. Hanson, secretary OF the society
at Brookings,. applying for member
ship. He will thus get q copy Of thu
addresses and will put himself ir
possession of information which hi
can easily coin into dollars.

Origin Of the BOwery.

Even many native New Workers do
not know how the Bowery came by it's
lame. according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch, which thus proceeds to their en-
lightenment: No less a person than the
famous old one legged Governor Peter
Stuyvesant was responsible for it.
When the city Of New Amsterdam
sprang into existence many farmers
from Holland came over to seek their
fortune in the new world. among them
old Peter. They settled outside the
town and proceeded to develop the
land by clearing away the woods and
planting it with grain. fruit trees and
ornamental shrubs they had brought
with them. Peter S~tuyvesant called
his residence and grounds the Bou-
werie. and the lane connecting it with
New Amsterdam became known as
Bouwerie lane. the settlement itself
taking the name of Bouwerie village.
Stuyvesant's farm extended from the
junction of what Is now Third and
Fourth venues to Seventeenth street
and eastward to Second venue where
at the corner of Tenth street his home
was located.

The cost of removing the states

OF q half a cent to each voter,

A Good One IL a Splendid Thing For
the Whole Body.
A good, wide, open mouthed yawn Is
q splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn be.
cause they are sleepy. But this is not
so. You yawn because you are tired.
You may be sleepy also. but that Is not
the real cause Of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired. and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand owe your mouth II you
want to. but let the yawn come. And
IL you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way Of
stretching and rela king the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed. if you are
very tired. but do not feel like yawn-
ing. there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit IN a straight back
chair and, lifting your feet from the
floor. push them out in front Of you as
far as possible. stretch the arms. put
the head back. open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax. the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired. and
see what it will do for you.
