Reader—You will confer a lasting favor and receive a reward, if you will report the name of dealers trying to sell you a substitute for the Madison Medicine Co.’s Rocky Mountain Tea. For sale by B. F. Fendig. S. A. Dowell, county commissioner, departed for his new home near Conway, lowa, last Thursday. He has tendered his resignation as county commissioner to take effect March 3rd, when his successor will probably be appointed by the other two commissioners. His family will take their departure in a few days. Miss Clara Jessen was the victim of a peculiar accident last Friday evening. With a party of young pe< pie she was returning from a box supper in the country, when a neck scarf she was wearing caught in the buggy wheel. Before the horses could be stopped her face was drawn on the wheel and considerably bruised and scratched. As a result she has been under a doctor’s care since the ac cident. A bold insurance agent is going over the state swindling policy holders. His method is to ascertain the companies in which his victims are insured, then go to them with a statement saying the companies have suspended and that be had been employed to transfer the policy to a reliable company. All being satisfact ory the victim signs what is supposed to be a certificate of transfer, but in a few months turns out to be a promissory note for any amount below sloo.—Ex. “Lost in New York” is said to be a play that was intended to please the masses and no saying was ever more truthful as it has without a doubt been given to, and pleased more people than any other comedy dram* that has enjoyed a run ia the great metropolis. The present season’s tour will embrace all the principal cities from Maine to California and no expense has been spared by the management to make it the best production that the most popular of plays have ever had. The seat sale opened Tuesday morning and no advance in prices will be made.

The failure of the Howard county commissioners to study their contract for stationery supplies has led them into a muddle. E. J. Marsh, of Portland, secured the contract one year ago by greatly underbidding competitors. The supplies were furnished and the bill that has been presented shows one ledger, 200 pages, cost sls a page or $3,000 for the book. The commissioners supposed they were buying a ledger for sls. Marsh will sue the county for the $3,000, and the suit will be opposed on the ground that the terms of the contract were misleading. A dramatic treat is in store for all theatre-goers this evening. “Lost in New York” will be the offering and surely no better play could have been chosen as it is the best comedy drama ever presented to an American audience. The company presenting it numbers some seventeen people, and all are favorably known as competent artists. The scenic equipment is said to be realistic and shows “Blackwell’s Island,” “Madison Square.” “The Great East River” and other points of interest. Those who witness the representation of this play will be well repaid for their trouble and those who miss it will have something to regret. Dr. Kay’s Renovator for dyspepsia.
