or long standing cases OF catarrhal atec-
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases Except eonsump-
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. 1t

several schools of practice.
The Golden Medical Discovery Is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such professional endorsement worth
more than any number of ordinary testi-
monials Open publicity of its formula
on the bottle wrapper Is the best possible
guaranty Of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that Golden

Gus or harmful agents and no alcohol

unobjectionable and besides is q most
useful ingredient in the cure OF all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for its use in all such cases.

eric extract OF native, medicinal roots
and is safe and reliable.

Senator Ramsey has introduced a
bill in the United States senate for
the appointment of commission to
purchase site and erect a postofice
in ST. Paul.
Col. Adams, commandment at Fort
Abercrombie, has left that place
with $50 picked men, including a
section of Jones battery under
Lieut.. Whipple, for winter cam
palgn. against the hostiles, who are
gathered in large numbers at Devils
Lake and Mouse river. Our British
cousins over the line have been car
rylng on wholesale trade in con-
traband articles at those places, and
the Indians are probably well armed
Peat has succeeded oil as the great
excitement of the day from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi. The
Boston Peat company has issued a
l68-page book entitled, Facts About
Peat, in which the whole subject
OF peat, its origin and composition
its various methods of preparation
for fuel, its use in the smelling and
manufacture of iron, steel, etc., its
superiority as a fuel in generating
steam for locomotives or mechanical
purposes, for the production Of gas
and for other purposes are elabor-
ately discussed. Minnesota is chock
full of peat, which, in connection
with its iron mines will form the
basis of immense manufacturing
plants ere long. There is peat enough
in the corporate limits Of St. Paul
to supply the city with fuel for the
next hundred years. We hope Mr..
Bass viii hurry up with his new
peat machines and relieve a long
sufe1 ing public from paying So per
cord for green Eastwood.
Minneapolis also has an attack of
the Vermillion lake gold fever. An
association of some of the leading
men has been formed and officers
elected as follows: President, H. B.
Hancock; secretary, c.. E. Wander
burgh; treasurer, H. G. Side.
The Minnesota Central is running
its trains regularly again. The snow
banks along the road are represented
as immense, and present a sight
such as is not often seen. It will
well repay those having the leisure
to take a trip down the Central and
see the sights.
The closing exercises at Mr.. Rihel-
daffer's female seminary Thursday
evening was thoroughly enjoyed by
a select audience. A vocal duet by
Prof. Pond and Miss Eta Ingersoll
was beautifully rendered. Miss In
gersoll has a fine and exceedingly
sweet voice. Others worthy of spec
ial notice are Miss Lizzie Goodrich,
Miss. Sarah K. Stees, Miss Rite
Underwood, of Rosemount; Miss
Augusta Brown Of St. Anthony and
Miss Alice Pond.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly has intro
duced a resolution in congress for
the construction of military road
from the western boundary of Min

and Idaho, and establish military
