If you ever have seen a little child in the agony of summer complaint, you can realize the danger of the trouble and appreciate the value of Instantaneous relief always afforded by DeWltt’s Colic A Cholera cure.

I About forty electors of Grattan town ' ship met in the court room last Saturday ' afternoon as per call. The meeting was I a special one called by the town board in regard to the bonds voted by the township, in favor of the Pacific Short Line, some four years ago. As will be remembered, the fall after the bonds had been voted, some of the taxpayers of the township entered a protest against pay* ing the bond tax and the case was taken in charge by County Attorney Murphy. It was tried in the distriot court, the tax payers being defeated. It was then taken to the supreme court where the decision was reversed and decided that the bonds wore illegal, the same being issued without doe process of law. From there it was taken to the United States court, where it is still pending. Since the bonds were voted about $8,800 has been paid in taxerlnto the sinking fund created for the purpose of redeeming them. About $1,000 of thin amount haa been paid under proteat. This money, $>,800 was in the hands of the county treasurer. Mandamus proceedings were commenced against the treasurer to compel him to pay to the township treasurer the $1,800 that had been paid without protest, and the money was so paid. Then the board engaged Attorney Murphy to take charge of the case, agreeing to pay him $8,000 if be won the suit and $1,000 if he lost it. According to agreement a warrant was drawn on the township treasurer in faVor of Mr. Murphy for the $1,500, the said Warrant to be paid out of the money in the bond (ax sinking fund. The treasurer re fused to pay the warrant on the grounds that the money had been paid for a spe cific purpoee and that the board had no authority to order it paid for any other. He also employed conned to defend him in his position. The electors at the meeting Saturday endorsed the action of the township treasurer in employing counsel to defend his action. They also ratified the action of the board in employing Attorney Murphy to take charge of the case, and the warrant will be paid. They instructed the treas urer to place the balance of the money in a fund to be used In the prosecution of the case. Last Friday night torn* llgbt fingered gantry broke IhrtoNert Bre*na*’rTiar9 ware (tore and got away with about §800 worth of good*, consisting of razors, knives, silver spoons, revolvers and cartridges. The burglars got into the building through one of the back win dows which they pried open. They first attempted to gain entrance through the back door by cutting a hole in the door above the bolt, large enough to put a hand through, and pulled the bolt. This only gave them admittance to a store room, there being a second heavy door at the rear of the main room, which they could not open. Failing in this method they tackled the window and succeeded in gaining an entrance. Suspicion pointed to a couple of tramps who had been seen around town during the day, as the guilty parties. Early Saturday morning Sheriff Hamilton wired the officers up and down the road an ac count of the robbery and requested them to be on the lookout for tramps peddling cutlery. On Friday afternoon he re ceived a telegram from the chief of police of Omaha stating that a couple of tramps had been arrested in Clinton, Iowa, while trying to dispose of some cutlery, and he supposed they were the parties wanted here. The sheriff wired the authorities at Clinton and was in formed that the goods found in their possession corresponded with the de scription of those “swiped" here. The sheriff left Wednesday morning for Boone, having in his possession war rants for their arrest. It is always gratifying to receive testi monials for Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy, and when the endorsement is from a physician it is especially so. “There is no more satis factory or effective remedy than Cham berlain’s Cholic, Cholera and Diasrhoea Remedy,” writes Dr. R. E. Roby, phys ician and pharmacist, of Olney, Mo.; and as he has used the remedy in his own family and sold it in his drug store for six years, he should certainly know. For sale by P. C. Corrigan.

Don’t trifle away time when you hava cholera morbns or diarrhoea. Fight them in the beginning with DeWitt’s Colic and Cholera Cure. You don’t have to wait for results, they are instantaneous, and it leaves the bowels in a health condition. Morris ft Co. "TH1 WOVBDBD BXBD FLUTTKM.” Hr. McCgfferty’a late effort, (lee the Olleill Sun o( lut week) which may appropriately be designated an after-birtb, most emphatically Justifies n»y characterisation of his previous strug gle with, or ratlier against, nature. If | we judge from the symptoms, however, vrgire forced to the conclusion that the deflpe of agony in the latter trouble i np have been far more excruciating tM in the parturition. Mr. McCafferty ■arthe >■ something on obstetrics hlm aeu^which suggests the idea that he may have undertaken to act as bis own attendant. They say that a lawyer who pleads his ow® case has a fool for a client.. A slight paraphrasing would make it read; “A midwife who acts as her own attend ant hai a victim for a patient." It is somewhat fortunate, too, for bis party | that he Is skilled in the embalming and undertaking business. We will see that he has a IS to 1 "stiff" to lay in its last testing place by the ides of November. Mi. McCafferty seems to have a burn ing fleilre to discover the identity of "Stwiint." To a man who wishes to hpnduct a discussion on anvthlng but personalities, it is immaterial whether he knows the name of his adversary or not. Voc my part I don't care a straw whether he uses the name J. J. McCaf ferty or his old umbrella "Poor Alpbs,” or any other title. It is a poor policy thair depends for its efficiency either upon his reputation or mine. I have msdf no allusion whloh does not find ample justification In his own produc tion,' and which would not be as applica ble lo anyone who should father it, or mother it, as to himself. I aid not mj, John, that Mr.- Caldwell waa denied a reapectful hearing. Juat look Again and aee who la the liar. You may deny that you referred to him anearlngly, but no one of rente who hat Mad your remarka will believe you. But were you really afraid that Mr. C. waa about to "abut the gates of heavenly MW In your face? If that were the catlse of your disrespectful remarka you may lad conaolation in the thought that the good gentleman will have to reach the gate himeelf before he can cloae it. ^What do yon mean by saying “Stu r*nr*»fa the onMtjkm'A contslneion.” etc.? ' Evidently your words and your ideaa (if - you have any) are running amuck. The phraae “begging the ques tion,’’ at it is called, means, u almost everyone know*, assuming aa true, in the course of an argument, the propo sition whioh you aet out to prove. Now if either one be forced to beg the ques tion you are the one, for the burden of proof liea upon you. But even you are not driyen to the petitio prineipii, for you have failed, to far, even to state what you wish to establish. You say “the gist of this argument is whether we had more money in circulation from’61 to ’73 than from the latter year down to the present,” and “whether cheap money is more conducive to the well being and happiness of the producing masses than dear money.” And that “vou say yes and ‘Student’ shoots back no.” Well it would be difficult to crowd more non sense and misrepresentations into an equal amount of spaee without writing between the lines. A few similar state ments may cause people to question your sanity. Every other free silver advocate considers the policy of the free coinage of silver at the present ratio, the “gist of the argument," and ind dently uses the amount of circulation, per capita, nt different periods in sup port of his position. But here we have the incidental used m the maiii propo sition, and the latter thrown to the bow wows! 'men nr. me reels 11 incumbent upon him to apeak (or Student, saying "Stu dent ahouta no." Now,"Mr. Me, when I want to say "no" I can do my own ahouting, and if I should need a substi tute I ahan’t choose one who baa proven a failure in hla own caae. The fact of the matter is, Mr. Me, that the amount of money in a country above what is actually employed has very little tb do with the prosperity of a country. It cannot be truly said that a country is in need of more money while it has mill ions of it lying idle. The talk about "dear money” and "cheap money" la evidently another con fusion of ideas. Any owner of United States money has but to hie himaelf across our southern border and have Jt doubled in quantity in quick time; or by betaking himself to some of the South American states, can have it trebled or quadrupled in the currency of those countries; or without leaving our own country can invest in confederate scrip and increase it to an amount limited only by his ability to "tote” it away. But how much will he gain? That's the question! It is difficult to imagine to what use you wish to devote the array of fig ures you furnish, unless it be to show, as it does, most effectively, that there is i a very large per capita of circulation in this country at present—anywhere you say from 930 or 937 without counting a whole lot of national bank notes. That’s larger than we claim. John, but we’ll let it stand. You stick to your stigma upon the “laborers and factory hands,” and as a testification for such contempt plead that Tun Fbontieh boys-have used similar language. For my part I don’t know whether The Frontierchape are guilty of the offense charged or not, but allow me to give you a pointer, John: You cannot plead the commission of an offense by another in lustiflcation of si similar one committed by yourself. John, your use of the old threadbare , remarks about politics and bedfellows is too stale to be funny. Mr. Whitney and Herr Moat have political rights as well as you have; so has your obedient ser vant, and whether it incurs your dis pleasure or not Mr. John, we will be likely to line up with which ever party we see see fit in the coming election—I know I shall t but of course I can't speak for the other fellows. They may ask your permlasiou.s • You say you unr thought of conceal ing your identity, oud it you did you could no more succeed in hiding your impulsive nature than Student can the flopping of his long ears. John, I am net so flippant about giving the lie as you are, but this is the third repetition in your piece under consideration, of the offense which cast a cloud over the rep utation of Ananius for veracity. Who was it, John, but your truthful self, who in days of yore sailed under the name "Poor Alpha”? It is a very common practioe to use fn aeeumed name, and no impropriety whatever attaches to it, and I see no reason why anyone should deny it unless from a fondness for prevarica tion. The gratuitous admissions qf your uncontrollable or impulsive nature, of course, all will accept, but your mention of it is superfluous. You say you made no effort to create prejudice against our creditors in other countries. Perhaps you did not mean what you said, but the woids will bear no other interpretation, and the fact that you strive to shift the blame upon others (some of them dead) goes to show that you do not feel, altogether guiltless. You do show a mite of candor when you ad mlt that my charge of nomequitur was k correct. YbU excuse about reading the pages of financial his tory. Rats! There are children in town who know more about finance than —well, I will say all you have written on the question so far. But in the nest breath you say there Was a conclusion to what you said, and that yoq "indirectly led Student to it." What kind of gib berish is that, pray? Perhaps it bad a double conclusion, like the tail of your ticket Tour silly drivel about anglomaniacs and the Rothschilds, John, is now rarely used by any except the puppets of dem agogues. The art of trying to make a point by creating popular prejudice is a low practice, resorted to only by tools and knaves, and is a sure proof of the want of legitimate argument. I thought I would catch you. John, by the "bosh posh” bait. . You swallowed it,'however, mere ravenously than I ex pected. Row, John, I don’t know whether you have made dilligent search to find the. phrase or not, but if you have, and have failed, I will give you a pointer: Take Webster’s or Worcester’s or some other standard dictionary; run down the pages until you find the word "gold-bug;” continue until you come to words commencing with the letter "H;” somewhere in that row you will find “bosh poih”—that is, if you find the word "gold-bug," I will gurrantee you will find the others. Now, it you say neither can be found in the English language, then, according to your own dictum, they must both be slang, but your poliahed self make frequent use of “gold-bug,” eo your only escape from being convicted (for the fourth time) of fibbing is by your showing that “gold bug" has a place in the English vocabu lary. Mb,' your laborious effort to con struct a sylogism to provb that repub licans want to increue the purchasing power of the dollar deserves commisser ation. I will save you the humiliation of dissecting what you would palm of as a sylogism. But, John, you do us proud —unwittingly, of coarse. Yes, we want, and have, a dollar which has a purchas ing power second to none in this wide world. And we are pledged, and shall use every honorable means in our power, to keep It so. Why should this great American nation he inferior in A&Y respect, monetary system included, to any other nation on the face of the globe? Don’t ygu say so, John? And if not, where is your boasted patriotism? That the silver dollar is a good, sound standard dollar, John, is no news to us. But your stupid Insinuation that Grover Cleveland or the St. Louis republican platform has any intention to make it otherwise can only be accounted for upon the- hypothesis of a change in the moon. You’re Iuney, John, you're luney t We’re fighting to keep it so, John, end eren Grover i« with ui. Do you know i'.: which tide you ere on, anyway T I notice that whenever you do chance to get in anything like a rational aeatence it generally counte tor our side of the 1 question. But what do you mean, Mr. Me, by aaying that it we vote tor the V single gold standard we will cut the vol- \\ ume (naming a big string of figures, as usual) of. our money in two. Why, you’re growing crasier as you grow older. But a train stuffed so full of musty statistics and worn-out platitudes can have little room for useful informa tion. You should know, and if you don’t it is time' for you to laarn, that we have been practically on a gold basis since 1884, and legally so since 1878. And that Instead of "cutting the vol- -; ume of m&ney (metal) in two,” we have more than doubled it in quantity. The luujMuoiiiKi principle oi our loauitriu policy i> to shape circumstances so that an honest toiler may be able to secure a day’s work; and that of our financial policy, that, when he wipes the sweat p' from bis face at night, he receives the f best dollar that the world can afford. : We will not victimise him by enacting a vicious law that would enable us to force fifty cents upon him for a dollar. Such p,: is our policy on these two questions, the only questions I may say in dispute, and " its interpretation is easy to any but the blind tools of a hired demagogue. You seem to possess an inveterate >■££ hankering after dragging dead men from ;'fff their graves, and garbling their words in a futile endeavor to bolster up your stu pid absurdities. Why do you desecrate p the name of Adam Smith and other hon ored dead by endeavoring to show that they sanctioned the gross absurdity that, "the power of a unit depends on the ? number of units in existence.” (Those are your words verbatim.) Does the power of a man depend upon the num ber of men in existence? The popula tion of the world, they say, is on the in crease, but will you undertake to main tain that such has anything to do with '.f; the decline of Mr. Bryan’s power for mischief? Is the power of an ox or of a horse so depending? Is the power of a spiritualist to call up the dead depending upon the number of spiritualists in-ex* tstMMT* The enm ofr ovanmvan mUHeMs a of dollars bas been added to the money of the United States within a few months.; I ask the people of this, or any other, community whether they have felt its influence upon their money holdings. Bah, John! As-Ben Butler ones said to an upstart member of congress, “Shoo fly!” Nor would their sanction lessen the absurdity. Now, John, I hope you won’t take offense (but it is more than likely that Aji you will) at a bit of advice: Quit your £ parrot prattle of at least the nonsensical portions of other people’s sayings. Get ’ yourself together and try to do a little , thinking for yourself. If you try it ^ once I am pretty sure you Will like it. Now, Mr. McCafferty, I shall pay no more attention to you unless you furnish H something of some benefit, and in sdkne reasonable shape. In other words. I 't| shall pay no attention to your nonsense. It is merely an imposition upon the newspaper men and the public generally —using valuable space to bore them to death. * ■ 1 will also state, in conclusion,-that you are at liberty to call me an ass, a liar, a criminal or any other epithet of such naturh that you, a self-styled gen- ‘Af tleman, may see fit to use. but I warn you at the peril of your being made de fendant in a suit for libel, not to praise me; commendation from such a source would be equivalent to the impeachment of a man’s character.
