Secretary Shaw has succeeded in securing the
return to the treasury Of 500 $1,000 bills The
place Of these in the circulation has been taken,
in large part, by new ten-dolar bills. The reason
Is that appeals have been coming to the treasury
constantly TO send out more tens, because there
was a tremendous demand for them
This demand Is simply a sign Of the great
prosperity of the country. according to financial
men Several years ago there was a constant cry

they picked up the swimmers till most
of them were in the boat, then putting

That ended the mutiny. When Juan

Toxin and Antitoxin.

A toxin is the poison of a disease
germ. When such a germ enters the
body. nature, to combat it, provides ia
the blood substance which neutralizes
the action of the germs poison. This
substance is termed an antitOxin. We
say Of diphtheria that it runs its course
In seven days or of typhoid fever that
1T runs its course in twenty-one days.
We mean by this that with diphtheria
1t requires seven days for the body to
form the antitoxin which renders the
germs poison harmless, and with ty-
phoid it requires twenty-one days. By
the injection of antitoxin In the early
stages of diphtheria the poison is coun-
teracted at once, the disease does not
have to run its course and the attend
ant dangers are done away with.

A Pioneer Newspaper.

Alderman l.. l.. Caldwell brought
us in on Monday morning copy of
the DEBORAH Ventilator, dated July
16, 1878. The paper was published
by G. w. Haislet and w. N. Burdick,
both of whom are now dead. Mr..
Burdick was until his death publisher
of the Postville Review. The paper
contains one of his Sunday night"
editorials, which will cause his mem
DRY to be revered by many who have
read these weekly editorials for many
years. A perusal of the paper is in
teresting, especially the advertise
ments. the most prominent among
which, were those of Finn Bros, hard
ware; E. |. Weiser, drugs; J. III.
Mackenstadt, tailor; Horn, Portman
and Give Bros, the Washington
Street Eagle Foundry; w. w. Vince
lock, painter; A. w. Adams, photo
grapher; G. Goltz, fuIniture Me-
Henry e Allison, dry goods; r. +.
Gibson & Co, dry goods; Goddard &
Henry, dry goods. and many others.
A notable feature is the fact that adj
vertisements, or more properly bust
ness cards. from every town in the
county and even from Dubuque
wholesalers, are seen in it's columns.
At the head of the editorial page, the
Republican state ticket is printed,
containing the name of G. G. Car
penter as candidate for governor. f.
f. Baker was mayor at the time and
Il. r. Crandell, city clerk. The paper
is full of interest to any one who is
