WELLES , Commander. McCook. Neb. , May 27,1891. A Splendid Canadian Journal. The Dominion Illustrated not only main tains but steadily improves upon the high standard of literary and artistic excellence which has especially marked that splendid Canadian journal since its enlargement at the begin nlng of this year to 24 pages weekly. The handsome engravings produced each week are well selected , and in addition to general views there are always some relating to curren matters of general interest. A group of bright and gifted writers are regular con tributors to its literary contents , and its pages reflect the best thoughts of clever men am wompn. Such a journal deserves the gratify ing support which it receives at the hands ol the public. The enterprising publishers , the Sabiston Litho. & Pub. Co. , Montreal , make it their constant aim to improve both the matter and appearance of the journal , and their sue cess is certainly gratifying and cirditable. BANKSVILLE BUDGET. It has rained most every day since the loth inst. , and the ground is thoroughly soaked. E. B. Nelson pulled over to bis homestead , Monday morning , after helping Uncle John Rowland finish his corn planting. C. F. Elliott was working the assessing job , last week , estimating the worth of the proper ty the farmers have left after the drouth of 1890. The prospects for next years' listing of property look more promising at this writing. W. H. Benjamin was caught out on the prairie about half-way home in the storm , Saturday afternoon , and had to take his team from the buggy and hold them by the bridle until the hail passed by. He said some of the hail stones were nearly as large as black walnuts shucks off. OBSKRVER. A Safe Investment.

A trustworthy medical writer says : ' 'Proper local treatment is posi tively necessary to success , but most of the remedies in general use by physicians afford but temporary benefit. A cure cannot be ex pected from snuffs , powders , douches and washes.
