He has made this suggestion to many and In each case has received the thanks of those who have been benefitted by It. It Is simple and does not require any phi­ losophy to prove It. WE wish to call especial attention this week to our Soldiers Department, to be found on tbe flrst page. Mr. Cowlin, under whose charge it has been for tbe past few years, spares no pains to make it Interesting to all, and that he succeeds In evidence by the high encomiums we bear pronounced upoult utmost every week. It Is closely read and highly appreciated by three*fourths of the veterans In the County, as well as by those who never wore the blue. We are proud of our Soldiers Department, and we have a right to be.* As the time draws near for our an­ nual ftlr, preparations shoufd be made for exhibition in the different depart­ ments. Especially Is this true ot floral hall, which Is reserved for tbe many things, ornamental and useful, which the ladies annually display. Last year the exhibition wa* unusu­ ally fine and attracted the admiration of all who attended the fair. It is hoped that ibis year's display will not disappoint the expectations of vlsl- tors, and that the ladies will make it what it is capable of beiug made,--the •nost attractive part of the annual ex­ hibition. The managers stand ready to render every assistance to those who will bring articles for exhibition. ON Monday, Aug. 24th, the most no table dramatic event of the season will begin, when Baoth and Barret will ap­ pear at the Chicago Opera House. The principal production of the en­ gagement will be Julius CaeiaranJ the Merchant of Venice and Othelo, which has been gotten up on a most elaborate scale.

Lots of fun may be ex­ pected. pnoiic well which stands for neiglilior- liness and sociability. It would not be wise nor practicable for any other town or village to imitate this example in detail.

Life Of Gen Harrison BT GKN. LEW. WALLACE. This book, just out, Is tbe life of a great m&n by a great author. It is a superior literary produotion worthy of special attention. Beth subject and author htve risen by superior qualities iudomltable energy and application from the quiet walks of life to world-wide fame. They have been life-dong friends; both have had thrilling experiences on the field of battle; have served in tbe Council Chambers of the Nation. How fortunate that tbe man whose Illustri­ ous ancestry shall be put In the shade by his own elevatioiHo the Presidency of a far greater nation aod whose fit­ ness for such exalted position the people desire to beeome familiar with should have such a biographer One who has passed through like experU enoe In the war for tbe Union and In tbe national councils and who can in­ telligently unfold and dltcuss tbe views Oen. Harrison holds upon na- tlontl issues, One also who wields a pen of such wonderful desorlptlve power as to have reached unchalleng- ed fame In authorship. The work Is Issued by the Messrs. Hubbard Bros., of Philadelphia, Chica go, and Kansas City, is Intensely In­ teresting, elegantly illustrated, and we understand Is having a remarkable sale. It Is sold through agents and undoubtedly afiords exceedingly pro­ fitable employment for a great many active young men aa every true Amer* ican should certainly read Ibis book before November 4th, SAVED MY CHILD'S LIFE, J. 8. Weaver, Secretary Iron Steam- boar Co., New York, says: I wish to say to the public that I had a child about four years of age, lying at the point ot death with summer complaint (diarrhoea), tbe doctor and all of us having given up hope. The doctor, however, advised us to get some of Speeds Port Wine, and give ber a little at.a time--very little, bnt often. As a last resort we did so and I say that Speer's Port Wine saved her life. She Is my only child. I had never seen Mr. Speer, but with tears of joy, I went and told him that his wine bad saved the life of my only child. J. .1 =• Private Fifer suggests that If Qeneral Palmer Is correctly reported be is in rather an embarrassing posi­ tion. The General claims to have abandoned the party on tbe tariff Issue. But be accepted 'the Republican plat* form of 1868, Made a canvass on It and was elected Governor. Then before "another State or National election, and before the party had an opoortu- nlty to declare itself In a State or National platform, In tbe midst of h.s term of office, he hastened to leave his old political assosiates, end embraced tbe Democratic faith," and voted for Horace Greely, a life-long protection­ ist, in order to secure revenue reform. Gen. Palmer was perhaps under no obligation to give any reason for his action, but In volunteering this one be seems to have put himself Into a bole. 1ST Ex Governor St. John, In a re* cent speech on tbe tariff, delivered ostensibly in the aid of prohibition, said the surplus in the United States Treasury is being increased at the rate of a million dollars a day. We are afraid our Kansas statesman Is not very well posted in relation to Nation* al finances. He will be surprised, doubtless, to learn that instead of about 9366,000,000, tbe Increase of the surplus during tbe current fiscal year will be less than t30,000,000. That was a discrepancy of about 9335,000,000, but that Isn't s very wide departure from strict truth in an average free-trade speech delivered la the Interests '•reform." of l^fflp*Durlng the war our rebel allies endeavored, by the assistance >t north ern dough faces, to turn this country over to England, hut failed..

J. Brink, died Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, after a long and severe sick­ ness. Her funeral was held at the Episcopal Church on Monday arter- noon, and was very largely attended by citlzans and friends. Ada Cbuuu, as we all knew her as a girl, entered on life with as bright promises as often happens to any one, but for many years sbo has been a sufferer from a painful and life long destroy­ ing disease, to which she has finally succumbed, and his now entered Into rest.| - She vas the jjdaugbfer of Mr. C. C. Chunn. one of our oldeit citizens, and as a young girl, exhibited unusual mental powers. Dutlng ber school life, she entered intb her studies, with great zest, aud really mastered them, an unusual thing now-a-days. She was ever the life and center of the social circle in which she was placed and as a oonversationllst had few equals; for she was Intelligent, quick of apprehension, ready of repartee, and witty and sparkling of speech. Few lutelllgent persons met her. but were glad to continue, and cultivate the acquaintance. By one of those unexplalnable strokes of fate, she became the victim ot ao Incurable and painful disease, and for years was an invalid. But her bright mind and Indomitable will never faltered, although disease was gradually, but surely destroying her physicial health, and she retained until almost the end, her brilliant mental powers. A woman of heart and soul, a good wife and mother, she fullfilled her mission In this world, and has gone to her rest. She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn her loss, aod many apprecia­ tive friends who ever valued her at her true worth. Mrs. Ada Brink was born November •23,1857, and married Mr. H.J.
