The field- mouse is very common in this region, and before the winter sets in has con- structed for himself a house, and filled it with the desirable root.

Its Value as a Medicinal Agent in Cases of Rheumatism or Gout. N be dis acure for rheum be neither rheumatism nor gout. Statistics show that in one year(1876) 2,640 persons died of rheumatism in this county, and every case, it is claimed, might have been cured or prevented by the adoption of the remedy mentioned. At least two- thirds of the cases named heart dis- ease are ascribed to rheumatism and its agonizing ally, gout. Small-pox, so much dreaded, is not half so de- structive as rheumatism, which, it is maintained by many physicians, can be prevented by obeying nature's laws in diet. But, if you have incurred it, boiled celery is pronounced unhesi- tatingly to be a specific. The proper way to eat celery is to have it cooked as a vegetable after the manner above described. The writer makes con- stant use of it in this way. Try it once, and you would sooner do with- out any vegetables, with the single ex- ception of the potato, rather than celery. Cooked celery is a delicious dish for the table, and the most con- ducive to the health of any vegetable that can be mentioned.—Leeds Mer- cury. ——— duties. following xecount is | -al oil, and if molasses or w discoveries—or what claim to overies—of the healing virtues of plants are continually being male. One of the latest is that celery is ism; indeed, it is asserted that the disease is impossible if the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The fact that it is always put on the table raw prevents its thera- peutic powers from being known. The celery should be cut into bits, boiled in water until soft and the water drunk by the patient. Put new milk, with a little flour and nutmeg, into a sauce-pan with the boiled celery, serve it warm with pieces of toast,eat it with potatoes, and the painful ailment will soon yield. Such is the declaration of a physician who has again and again tried the ex- periment, and with uniform success. He adds that cold or damp never pro- duces, but simply develops the dis- ease. of which acid blood is the pri- mary and sustaining cause, and that while the blood is alkaline there can —One of the pioneer women in the practice of medicine in this country was Madam Milliken, who lived to be one hundred years old, and was a once famous dweller on Mt.

She was caught in a typhoon and tost her upper masts and sails and was otherwise damaged. The first mate and two of the lepers died on the passage. Capt. Laird had great trouble to get rid of the remainder, as no junk would take them to the main land. Finally a junk was found the captain of which agreed to take them ashore for $250. While being transferred, one of the lepers jump- ed into the sea and was drowned. Another was dying when taken away.

Nevada, Mo., Dec. 19.—Jim New- ton, the notorious desperado, horse thief and murderer, who shot and killed a farmer named Howells in Newton county, Kansas. last Friday night, while trying to get away with three of the farmers’ best horses was well known in southwest Mis- souri. Judge C. T. Davis. ex-pros ecuting attorney of this county. said to-da “Some ten or twelve years ago Newton stole seventy-five or 100 head of cattle up in Bates county, and was in jail here for the offense. I do not now remember how he got out of it, but numerozs other offenses in these parts were charged up against him as well. Af- ter leaving here he committed a theft or burgl, Kai in Linn county, captured and placed in jail. One day he took a leg from as, and was astool and when the jailer entered | terms. his cell with a meal, jc flew upon him with the ferocity of alion. After knocking his keeper senseless he made his escape and several fruitless attempts were made to capture him At one time a woman at whose house he was stopping learned who he was by taking a letter from his pocket, and then notified the officers but he was too quick for them and again got away. Later he was over- taken on the Marmaton bridge at Ft. Seott, but his dexterity with a revolver again enabled him to make his escape. It would be hard to say how many times he was connect- ed with thefts and other depreda tions or how often he found himself in jail. He was afterward sent to the penitentiary and nothing more was ever heard of him till the last loody encounter in which he fig- ured.” Newton had been living at Bear City, inthe neutral strip, and was engaged in the business of stealing horses from Kansas fariners and running them across the line intothe neutral strip, where he was safe from the law. HONORING THE FLAG. A Southern Court the Scene of Quite a Loyal Demonstration. Macon, Ga., Dec. 19.—Some un- known person last night nailed a large United States flag to a tele phone pole in this city, on one of the principle streets, where it could be seen by alarge portion of the population. To-day the attention of the officers of the United States court, now in session here, was _ vall- ed to the matter, and United State Marshal Lucius M. Lamar after con- sultation with Judge Emery Speer sent out his deputies, who removed the flag and ran it up over the Unit- ed States building on a flag pole furnished by the jury in attendance upon the court. Judge Speer in thanking the jury for their action strongely reprobated the conduct of the persons who had placed this in- dignity upon the national ensign, and said such occurrences gave a character to the southern people which they did not deserve, and alluded in forcible terms to the blessing and advantages the people enjoyed under the flag. = The inci- dent created quite a sensation, as all the officers of the court, including the judge and marshal, are ex-confed« erates.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga: During the spring of 1871, while working in the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga. I pulled off my shoes to give my feet a rest. Un- fortunately I walked into a clump of poison oak, and ina few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and I could not put on a shoe because of the soreness and swelling. I was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeed- ing spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis- ease, only each time it became more distressing, because I began to think it was a lifetime trouble. Fi- nally I was induced to try Swift's Specific. I took six bottles, and to day am entirely well. My improve- ment was gradual from the first, and no evidence of the disease re- mains. I shall take pleasure in tes- tifying as to its curative properties. It is the greatest blood purifier in existence. Yours truly, J. L. Moxeax. Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed free.
