| DR.. Brooks went to Boston last
week as we surmised he would week
before last. He went through to learn
: from great men what new "bugs"
had been discovered to s'gnawn at the
vitals of man. The doctor is . close

Hon. G. w. Culiison, the veteran
orator of western Iowa, has been en-
gagged to deliver the celebration ora

price paid, at least we hope not.
