Ladies, if you would have beauty by the bottle-full, all you have to do is to purchase Hagan's Magnolia Balk. That peerless beautifier of the complexion not only heightens natural charms, but renders even the plainest countenance exceedingly attractive. It recalls to the pallid cheek the rosy tinge of health, removes pimples, blotches, roughness, sallowness and other blemishes and imparts to the skin a most delicate fairness and softness. It smooths the furrows caused by time or care, and gives face, neck and arms the plump and engaging appearance of youthful beauty. All this is accomplished by the most natural means, viz: by gently and naturally stimulating the circulation in the capillary blood vessels.

Besides being the most effectual aid to beauty known to modern science, NERVOUS DEBILITY, With its frloomv attendants, low spirits, depression, involuntarv emissions, lorn of seiuen. sper matorrhoea, loss power, dizzy head, looa ot memory, and threatened' impotence and imbecility, find a sovereijrn cure in HUMPHREYS HOMEOPATHIC SPECIFIC No. TWESTV-RIGHT.

Laboring Men will go tor the little railroad tax almost to man, because the construction of the road will insure them steady work and cash pay throughout the year.

To say "Dolly Varden" in the most ap proved style, pronounce 'Dolly" as if spelled "Daw-law" and then get your mouth "puke shape" and say "Vaw-doon," giving the vowels in the latter word the whooping cough sound of the quadrip- thong "aw-oo." We have seen a letter of the 20th from Chief Engineer Ainsworth of the Narrow Gauge, addressed to Senator Leav-itt, wherein he states that the rumors adverse to this road now in circulation in Waterloo, are false. He says the track will all be laid to Elkader by June 1.

Oversight. By an oversight more pro voking to us than to the Grundy Co. Atlas, or "any other man," the article on Waterloo reproduced in The Courier of last week, was not credited to the Atlas. What Moffet said was so well said that he should have the credit. It was an unin tentional steal.

The Clay Brothers advertisement of Farm Machinery and implements, shows that another important establishment in an important branch of trade, has been opened in Waterloo. The intersection of Fourth and Jefferson streets may alliter-atively be styled the "Farmers' Four Cor ners." On three of the corners are large and popular Farm Implement stores on the fourth a church which is just as good. The Gazette of last week publishes the official action oi the two Societies, through their committees, announcing a consolidation of the Blackbawk County, and the Cedar Valley District Agricultural Societies, and says all that is now wanting is the ratification by the Directories respect ively.

The McGregor Daily Age says "The narrow Gauge road is now being pushed forward with considerable vigor.

From Elkader west the line is now located, and in a week or so wili be covered with mean and teams putting into shape for the iron.

Mrs. Martha II. Burr fell dead upon the floor of her son's residence in Cherokee, Iowa, last Saturday. Her age was 67 and her health seemed as vigorous as in her young days up to the instant of her decease.

On that day she had remarked upon her unusual good spirits, and but a few days before had written to her son, Mr. W. I. Burr of this city, and congratulated herself upon her health. She arose from her chair and was passing to another room, when she fell, and though instantly raised to a couch, life had fled, ner remains were brought to this city for interment Wood's Household Magazine, under the editorial management of Gail Hamilton, has more than doubled its subscription list, during the past four months.

The Waukon Standard of Alamakee county has this to say about the Narrow Gauge road which Judge Williams is constructing to this city and Des Moines "As our readers know, we have had full faith in the Narrow Gauge system, and now that we have seen it in actual operation doing work, our good opinion of it is increased a hundred per cent though this may seem extravagant.

Last Sunday noon Mr. J. C. F. Lusch of this city, died at his residence, at the ripe old age of 73, of heart disease, with which he had been afflicted for a long time.

He was born in Germany and emigrated to Iowa in 1858 was the father of a large family of men of both physical and mental vigor. Of the sons now living there are Augustus John Theodore and A. T. Lusch, the latter of the Banking firm of Leavitt, Johnson Lusch. Two married daughters survive him, as also, an aged widow- He preserved to the day of his death the kindliness of heart and generous hospitality for which the true Ger man is distinguished, and has gone down to his silent home lamented by all who knew him.

Ho was buried from his residence Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. See tuk Proofs. Voters, you have all manner of stories in discredit of the Narrow Gauge management all designed to falsely impress you in the hope that you would be induced to vote against the tax. Falsehoods are coming home to roost now. and as their authors are proved false in these respects, it raises a strong presumption of error in others relating to the road.

D. JKllswobth. Under the caption of "An Insane Inventor," the Washington City Star of the 17th publishes the following, which will at once clear up the mystery as to the whereabouts of Mr, Ellsworth, who left his home a few weeks ago, his wife and two children accompanying him. It is probable that the wife and children are with friends in Maine, while the unfortunate Ellsworth is at large. We are free to say that Mrs.

E. deserves the severest censure for permitting him to wander wherever the fitful bent of his shattered mind directs. Now in prison or distant asylum, perhaps, enduring no one knows what. His relatives should immediately go after him and send him to the Mt Pleasant Asylum, there to remain beyond the reach of harm to himself or to others, until he recovers. We are under obligation to Congressman Orr of this Dis trict, for a copy of the paper containing the information.

The Star savs The lunatic who was sent by General Porter to the police headquarters yester day in charge of officers Fox and Hurst, had been hanging around the President's House for several days persisting in seeing the President to turn over to him several valuable inventions, among them a perpetual motion, the use of which he claimed would pay the national debt right away. He seems to be a religious entnusiast, and claims to be a great inventor. His name is Jeremiah D. Ellsworth, and he is from Waterloo, Iowa, and says his wife and children are now at Phillips, Maine. He is a middle-aged man, well dressed, and Beems to be intelligent on most matters.

Though hundreds of massive and elegant new blocks have been built all along the blackened btreets, yet the visitor can well believe the scene as painted by an imaginative writer just after the fire was subdued by self-exhaustion, lie said it looked like hell uncovered with the fires put out. Among the new structures we are glad to note that of Marder, Luse those friends of all western printers. Their loss in the great fire was in scores of thousands, but nothing daunted they addressed themselves bravely to the work of "repairing damages." Already they have a new Foundry and store building up on the old site, new and improved type-making machinery in operation, and the entire establishment on the high tide of success.

A fine five story brick block, fifty feet front by 90 deep, now stands in the place of the old building, a monument to the unflagging energy and courage of Harder, Luse Co. With becoming thankfulness they attribute much of their ability to re cover their business footing at so early a day, to the promptitude of most of their time customers and their continued patronage through the dark months immediately succeeding the fire. Of course we visited our school boy friend, F. N. liamlin, of the great Dry Goods house of Hamlin, Halo Co.

This house, since their magnificent building on Wabash Ave. was burned, have their wholesale department at 29 and SI South Canal street, and their retail store at S28 West Madison. While the remains of their great establishment was yet smoking. Mr. Hamlin rushed to New York for new stocks, while the other partners were providing moms.

They were among the very first to throw open their doors to the public with new invoices aggregating many hundred thousand dollars worth, and their energy meets with the well earned reward of success. Mr. Hamlin, with corfrage unabated when he saw much of his fortune swept away, said of his loss "I hadn't time to think of my loss I thought only of gaining our feet again and we did it promptly." With such a will there is no such word as fail. The firm is now building another magnificent store which will be ready for them in the early Fall. Returning, we scanned appearances in Illinois and ranged them along side those of Iowa.

Tbe wheat promise is full better in our State than in Illinois, and the only differences in favor of the latter State were the wider acreage in cultivation and the excess of the tame grasses. Our towns look newer, brighter, more cleanly, thrifty, enterprising and prosperous, with here and there an exception. Having an hour at Cedar Rapids we paid a visit to the new Daily Hepullican office. There were Shannon and Capt. Leach, each with busy pens tracing their practised and practical judgment upon men and things for the delectation of their thousands ol readers.

Wit and humor are the resident copartners upon Shan non's pen-point, and in such exuberance that ho is never trusted to write an obituary unless it be of the fellow who ventures to measure swords with him. Found their office one of the best equipped we have seen in Iowa, with a steam engine as noiseless as a sewing machine, and all and every of the -matters and things necessary in and about a first-class printing house. The Republican is very popular. Iowa Eastern" Railboad. From Mr.

W. Crooke, of the Iowa Eastern Railroad Company, we learn several interesting items concerning that project. Twenty miles from Elkader is already completed and the cars are runninc; on it. At present materials for the road are brought over the Milwaukee fc St. Paul to the present eastern terminus of the narrow gauge.

Twelve engines have been purchased for the road, two are already on the track and another one is expected within a week. A large number of fiat cars for use in construction have been reeeived, and freight and passenger cars are being built, some of which are expected in a short time. All the iron necessary to lay the track from McGregor to Des Moines has been i bought and paid for, and it is expected that the road will be completed to Des Moines by the first of next January. The surveyors are at work between this city and the south line of Grundy county. Judge Williams, President of the Company, is in New York at present, but is expected home this week, when he will prob ably come to Des Moines and let us know what will be required of this city in the matter of aid to the project.

Des Moines Register. And when you come to act on the matter, Mr. Register, we hope the narrow gauge minds of your city will be in less proportion than they seem to be in a Cedar Valley city which we forbear to name. We can endure, with the utmost patience, the opposition the honest opposition of those little souls who were constructed on a still narrower gauge than the Iowa East- ern, those who oppose the tax because it calls for a few dollars. But to find men who at some time in their lives have enter- tained the sentiment of enterprise whose horizon of public spirit was not always bounded by the rim of a dollar; to find men going about like rag-pickers nstnng out pretexts for an opposition that is based upon greed and unenterprising illiberality, is not a spectacle that offers higli promise of usefulness in tho community of which they form a part.

It does not augur well for the future of that community who heeds the illiberal counsel of men who live for self. Look about you, every one, and answer to your own consciences if you ever knew a community long to succeed which took it3 cue from men cf narrow gauge souls. We all know this is not so it is the counsels and works of the enterprising, liberal, broad minded men which tell for good in the world. Fabe Reduced. The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago and Penn.

He will be absent about two weeks. It is not improbable our readers may hear from him by letter. Mr. McEwen of the Linn Co. Signal, too good a fellow to pin his political faith and future to the Bourbon end of the Democracy, gave us a welcome call.

A Suggestion. Another Independence day is near at hand, the anniversary which of all others is dearest to American hearts. It is difficult indeed, it is well-nigh impossible for country-loving, liberty -loving Americans to escape the thrills of patriotic joy which this notable day inspires. The freedom-loving people of Blackhawk coun ty should meet together and clasp hands in fraternal rejoicing over the grand accomplishment commemorated by this day, at some town in the county to be agreed upon. And it would add much to the interest of the occasion if the entire member ship of the Patrons of Husbandry in the county, under the direction of officers appointed by the several Granges, should appear in procession, and as an organization join in the festivities of the day.

Farmers as a class have no equals in the country in sincere regard for that equal and exact justice, and national and person al freedom which are the tangible and enduring fruit of the Declaration of Independence. Hence, there is especial reason that they be assigned a chief place in demonstrations of the day. What say the people? Waterloo is the most central town, and the most accessible from all parts of the county. We venture to suggest that Independence day bo celebrated here on a scale never before witnessed in Blackhawk county. Let us hear from the people in all the townships and at once for if it is to be done it shouM be determined on at an early day.

It is but five weeks ahead. Tbe Railroad Rally, Responding to posted bills announcingra meeting of the tax-payers of Waterloo township, the peo ple to the number of two to three hundred gathered at Russell Hall Monday evening, to confer together in relation to the proposed 1 per cent tax. Judge Bagg was called to preside, and on taking the chair spoke earnestly and feelingly in behalf of the proposed tax. Mr, H. B.

Allen was then called for, but after saying that he desired all sides to be heard, and hoping that those who opposed the tax would give some tangible reasons for their faith, he took his seat, whereupon Mr. E. S. Phelps came to the front as the champion of "Lo cal He made as food an argu ment as that side of the case is susceptible of, but in the bright light of Mr. Allen's speech which came in response, Mr.

argument went limping and halting into obscurity as Mr. Allen's logical lances were thrust through it. His afiectatiou of concern for the interests of the poor who could pay only by procuring a two per cent a month loan, was a most fatal boomerang which came back upon him and went crashing through the shoddy structure of his pure and unselfish sympathy for the poor and lowly. The two per cent a month exacted of the poor tax-payer on a loan was Bhown to be a narrow gauge af fair in comparison with his own exactions of thirty per cent penalty and Un. per cent interest on tax sale redemptions.

Wince? Of course he winced! '''NVho could help wincing, to have his false sympathy for the poor thus uncovered and its shameless nakedness laid bare Mr. Mclsaac was called out and not only corroborated the statements of Mr. Allen, but supplemented them with further reasons in favor of the tax. He dwelt upon the fact that the Iowa Eastern line was directly through the center of the largest and best coal field in the State, and spread before his hearers the absolute certainty of cheap fuel therefrom for all time to come a fact that of itself constituted one of the most powerful incentives for multiplying manufacturing facilities. Dr.

Carpender said he came there opposed to the tax, but the debate had unsealed his eyes and he now saw the matter in its true light, and he should now favor the tax by both argument and vote. This honest confession, honorable alike to the man and the occasion, brought down the house. If we can judge of the temper of the people by the demonstrations of the evening, we conclude that more than three-fourths of the voters are for the tax. Good Wokds. Some one writing from this city to the Dubuque Herald says as follow" "On Thursday, the 23d, our citizens vote for or against a tax of one and one-half per cent, to aid in the narrow gauge railroad from McGregor to Waterloo and as important a road as this will be to Waterloo, I reget to say there are many who, oppose the raising, even of this small tax and the strongest opposition is by those who have the lightest tax to pay, but their votes count as much as those possessing large estates.

I contend that Waterloo, like Dubuque, the more railroads she gets to center here now the better the greater railroad center we can make it, the more attractive will it become- to capitalists to engage in manufacturing, and if we ever expect to be much more of a city than now, we must encourage something more than the tanning interest to keep us where nature designed one of the best interior 49tf Pic-Nic.

Bible Society. At a recent meeting of the Board of Managers of the Blackhawk County Bible Societr. the Rev. H.

Philbeam, of Belle Plaine, was engaged as agent to canvass the city of Waterloo, for the purpose of, receiving subscriptions, and of supplyin those families in our midst who are destitute of the Scriptures. 3Ir. Philbeam is now in the city for this purpose, and we bespeak for him the cordial co-operation of all who are interested in the work of the Society. It is hoped that our citizens will respond liberally and cheerfu'ly when called upon. These collections will supercede the usual annual collections in our churches for the Bible cause.

The money received by the canvassing agent will be paid to the County Bible Society. In the absence of the E. AT. Bumham, the Depository of the Society is at present with Mr. Manchester, in the Post Office Block, where a good supply of Bibles may be found.

The annual meeting of the Society will be held at an early da', at which meeting Mr. Philbeam will report the result of the canvass. J. C. Gates, Secretary.
