Uncle Schlegel and Mike Schnellbach
er got a tumble the other day that
neither of them will forget for some
time. Uncle Schlegel had been engag

from the Catholic Church, where they
had been competing for a position, he
got the organs away to the depot and
went back for the boxes, with Mike to
help load, they hail loaded up and Unc'e
had taken the lines and said get up, but
as he turned the wheel on the lower
side settled in a hole, the fore wheel
on the upper side striking the box at
the same time turned the wagon over
and sent Uncle Schlegel and Mike down
among the horses heels, where we ex
pect times seemed lively to them for
a minute. Each carry severe marks of
the horses heels about their heads, but
will live through -it with good care.
Uncle Schlegel says he don't want to
move any more Mendota organ boxes
if they all serve him that way.

The Tornado of the 13th.
From different sources we learn that
the high wind last week, Wednesday,
did considerable damage. At Omaha
it blew down the fair ground buildings,
unroofed houses and raised Cain gen
erally. At Lincoln, a number of small
buildings were damaged, and the roof
of the penitentiary blown off. It will
take $3,000 to repair the damage to this
building.
At home in Cass County, the brick
school house, near Hon. Jos. Gilmore's,
known as the Pleasant Ridge, or Sha
fer's school house, was unroofed and
three sides torn down or rendered val
ueless, in short, they will have to build
a new building. A frame shed attach
ed was literally blown to atoms; the
circular sinuous current must have lift
ed it, wrenched the boards to bits, and
then as suddenly lulled and let the
splinters drop from some heighth. a3
pieces of all sizes were sticking up
right in the ground, as if driven there
for a calf or chicken pasture.
The Mt. Hope School House, six
miles south-west from Weeping Water,
a frame, building was also completely
demolished and rendered useless.

If success may be considered a cri
terion of merit, the Home Cook Book
can properly be considered one of the
mst meritorious works published of
late years. It has been wonderfully
successful. Edition after edition has
been issued, (20,000 copies) and still the
demand seems to be unsatisfied. It con
sists of 394 handsomely printed pag
es, and contains one thousand or more
practical, common sense receipts, which
have lieen tried, tested, aDd found to
be "just the thing." Contributed by
ladies of influence and good judgment,
in Chicago and other cities and towns,
with permission to use name. We
know of no lady of our aquaintance,
who would publicly endorse a recipe
unless it was the very best she knew.
There could be no better guide book
for that portio.i of woman's kingdom
which relates to'the cuisine than the
Home Cook Book. It is on sale at all
bookstores? price $1.50. A "pocket
Edition will be sent free, by publisher
on receipt of a two cent stamp. The
following letter from Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher. conGrms our good opin
ion: J. Fred Waggoner, Publisher, Chi
cago. Dear Sir: As I am not keeping
house, I have not an opportunity to
examine the Home Cook Book as I like
to examine everything I recommend.
But by instinct an old housekeeper can
form a tolerably accurate judgment of
all that is usually found in cook books,
and if you will accept of an instinctive
estimate of the merits of your word, I
can truthfully say that I am greatly
pleased with it.
I like the recipes; most of them are
familiar, some slightly different from
the old, well established recipes and I
think they will be improved by the
change.
But much that is more important
than recipes is found in it, with which
I have bfen greatly pleased and instruc
ted; I refer to rules for "Dinner Eti
quette," "Social Observances," "Table
Talk," "Bills of Fare," etc., and many
other things, brought together very
skillfully and caculated to be of great
service to house keepers, young and
old. Respectfully yours,
Mrs. II. W. Beecher.

These medicine liave undoubtedly performed1
more cures of Consumption than an? other rem
edy known to the American pnblle. They are
compounded of vegetable ingredients, and con
tain nothing which can be injurious to the lu
mau constitution. Other remedies advertised
as citrus for Consumption, probably eoiiUUu opi
um, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in al
cases, and if taken freely by consumptive pa
l ien t. it ntunt do great injury ; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter In the system,
which, of course, must make a cure impossible.
Schenck's pulmonic syrup is warranted not to
contain a particle of opium : it. is composed of
iMiwerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lung", liver, stomach and blood, and thus cor
rect all morbid secretion, and expel all the di
seased matter from the body. These are the
oi-ly means by which consumption can be cured,
and as Sehenck'S Pulmonic syrup. Sea Weed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi
cines which operate in this way. It i obvious
they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions. Dr.
