Governor _ Hanly has made one grievous mistake during his administration and that is that he has taken too vindicitive a stand in many matters. He was right in disposing of Sherrick and Storms and Ward,but he did not need to show a spirit of hatred in disposing of them. And now he is doing exactly the wrong thing in his attack on Fremont Gooodwlne. He seems to have nothing more against Senator Goodwine than the fact that Mr. Goodwine and he disagreed about some matters of legislation. They were both raised in Williamsport and Senator Goodwine Is said to have been one of the ardent supporters of Governor Hanly In acquiring his political ambitions, but that did not bind him to stand for everything that Governor Hanly stood for. During £fce last legislature they are said to been at variance on varoiiit/mdtte>s before the state legislature, but doubtless Senator Goodwine was as sincere in his views as was the governor, and that should not be sufficient reason for Governor Hanly to oppose him for the lieutenant governorship. There seems to be a great lot of personal grievance coupled with every political score that Governor Hanly has, and that has helped to make him very unpopular with many people that heartily admire the accomplishm°nts of his administration.

That our American forests abound Id plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the untutored Indians had discovered the usefulness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This information, Imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continae investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots.

tlpn demand has brought the price up to about 60 cents. Dr. M. D. Gwin had a very narrow escape from serious injury Wednesday night at about the same place that Dr. English so narrowly escaped, death during the high floods of a few weeks ago. Dr. Gwin was returning from a call up near Pleasant Grove. He was driving a livery horse and when near the farm residence of John L. Smith the horse frightened at a pile of wood and turning suddenly fell into the deep ditch along the road and took the buggy along with him. Dr. Gwin was thrown out of the buggy and the buggy lighted on top of him. He held the lines firmly in his left hand and thus kept the horse from from running and finally extricated himself from beneath the buggy. He secured the services of Mr. Smith and finally restored the buggy to the road and made the trip on home. He was quite a little bruised up, his right arm being especially sore. . It was quite a fortunate escape, as it might easily have been much more serious.
Dr. Wallace Parkinson has decided to remove to Brook for the practice of medicine and has been over there this week and his family will be moved there Just as soon as he can secure a suitable residence. Dr. Parkinson located at Boswell, in Benton county, after graduating from college and left a good practice there in order to come to Rensselaer, his old home, and the home of his parents and many relatives, but he found the field here overcrowded with doctors and being the last in he thought perhaps he had better be the one to try a new field. From many sources has come word that there was need of another physician at Brook, and Dr. Parkinson is thoroughly equipped as a physician, being a medical college graduate and having had several years of practice. There was no doubt that he would have eventually built up a large practice here in Rensselaer, but the advantages for rapid growth in his practice will probably be much better at Brook. And his many friends here wish him a successful professional career in his new home and we recommend him to the people of his new home most heartily.
