a WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Some weeks since nearly the whole of the
personnel" Of the general headquarters bsc 4n1s
almost simultaneously afflicted with what is de-
signsted, in military slang, as the 'qucks;ep," or
in ordinary psrlance, "dysenterY.' For days,
medical wisdom and remedies were continually
applied to furnish relief, but without much avail.
At last, tie y ater a,nsumed was suggested as
the possible cause of toe ventricular dlsturban-
COS. The well, from which the ordinary supply
was secured, was subjected to a critical exami-
nation, when 10! number Of shells, balls, bro
ken muskets, Confederate uniforms, spoiled pro-
Visions and other articles too numerous to men
ton, were discovered at its bottom The OBJ
nOxious sediments were, of course, promptly re-
moved, aud since then the bowel complaints Of
the general and the members OF his staff have
ceased.

WHAT THE DoCToRs rSAY.-Emi-
nent Ihysicians have repeatedly de-
clared I 1t the mischief to the human
system resulting from the daily use of
warm bread and biscuit, might be dis
tnctly traced to the use of impure COM
pounds made and sold for Saleratus.
1t has been demonstrated to the salts
faction Of the highest medical authori-
ty of the country that the Chemical
Saieratus made by DeLand & Go. is
pure, and not liable to the objections
stated. Hence, the preference it en-
joys among physicians. 1t is sold by
respectable grocers all over the Union.

sB One, Of the best discourses we
ever listened to, and the best we ever
heard ard from the lips Of any clergyman
IN the Northwest, it was our pleasure
to hear from the Rev. j. w. Harris Last
sabbath. His text, .And God made
OF one blood all men to dwell upon the

argument to prove that caste and serv-
ltude are not the natural conditions of
society, but that prejudice and aristoc-
E-cy of wealth are and have been con-
duclve to the moral, social and political
evils OF the past and present. Itwould

Peoples Union County Convention.

The County Convention which con-
vened in this town on Thursday
last, nominated full ticket for county
officers, and all its proceedings were
characterized by harmony, good feel
ing, and confident determination to
succeed by bringing before the public
list of unexceptionable candidates.
Ben. Buck received the nomination
for Sheriff. He was the first Sheriff of
Wood County, thoroughly understands
the duties of the office, and will per-
sonally perform them, if elected.
Emanuel Dntriut was nominated for
County Treasurer. Mr.. Scott, the
present incumbent, has all along been
considered candidate for reelection.
but inasmuch as Mr.. Dutriut has lately
met with an awful accident depriying
him of an arm, and inasmuch as he is
loyal to the core, prompt, honest and
efficient in business matters, Mr.. Scott
felt it his duty to withdraw in Mr.. d. s
favor, which ensured his nomination
and consequent election. .
The Convention, unwilling to dis
pense with Mr.. Scott as a public SER
want, thereupon nominated him for the
Office of Clerk of the Board of Super
risors. Having had much expert
ence in the financial affairs of the coun-
ty, the people will eheerfully endorse
him at the polls. Everybody knows
Tom Scott, and none can deny that he
is fearless in the discharge of his Off
cial duties, upright and able.
For District Attorney, Mr.. J. D.
Witter received the unanimous vote of
the Convention. lie is the present in
cumbent and has given universal salts
faction. .=,
Mr. E. d. Hall was unanimously
nominated for Clerk of the Circuit
Court, and he has already earned the
reputation Of being Industrious and
faithful as a public officer. .....
For Register of Deeds, Ulrich St.
Amour is the nominee. "Santa" is a
good penman, correct copyist, and
withal an awful good fellow. We re-
joice with his friends that he is to be
our next Register of Deeds.
Mr.. j. III. Lang was re-nominated
for Surveyor by acclamation-a beft-
ting compliment to a worthy man.
Mr.. E. l.. Mathews is the candidate
for Coroner. Of course, the office is
thankless one, but the public will have
faithful, clear-headed man 10 attend
to it's requirements. rt

to his statement that the late Union
Convention was Republican one, we
would direct his attention to the fact
about one half of the delegates are old

he (Mr. Burns) was supported almost
exclusively by the Republican delegates

For Congress.


Every consideration of public policy
argues in favor of the reelection of MIR.
Hanchett to Congress. One term mere
ly serves to acquaint a Member with
the complicated duties of his position.
After that, he not only extends his in
fluence by being familiar with the
"ropes" and by charging his circle of
acquaintances, but it becomes easier to
perform large amount of labor than
small amount during the first term.
M. Hanchett stands in this relation
His former district being nearly half of
the State of Wisconsin, he necessarily
had an immense deal of work to do
And yet he is blamed by some for the
manner in which he has performed it.
The only wonder with US is, that he
has succeeded in suiting any6oay.-
Those who are not suited-the esore
heads"-have succeeded, with the aid
of a few fossilized Democratic Office
seekers, in bringing out an infirm old
gentleman to run against him. But
the Democratic masses-those who
have the independence to decline to be
led by the nose by office-seekers-re-
+.
fuse TO support the old, spawned, wind
broken piece of mechanism down at
La Crosse. Even the Democratic na.
pers "kick against the pricks.'' We
believe the La Crosse Democrat is the
only paper in the District which sup
ports Stoddard. The last number of
the Stevens Point Rinery comes out
f1atly for Mr.. Hanchett, and assigns the
following reasons, among others. for
doing So: ..
We place at the head of our columns
the name OF Hon. Luther Hanchett. as
our Representative in Congress from
this--the 6th-Congressional District.
In doing so, it is proper that we should
state the reasons that have impelled us
to this conclusion. We have always
been--and are still--a Democrat: we
have hl.herto-and shall henceforward
endeavor-honestly and consistently
to advocate democratic Principles.-
Had the Convention at La Crosse mt
In nomination true and tried Demo.
crat, We should have felt bound bv ev-
cry consideration, to support him bat
when that Convention declined maxine
a nomination, and endorsed a candi,
date whose political opinions have not
only been combatted by the Democrat
ic farty ever since It's organization. but
have been more extreme than those of
a majority of Republicans, their action
has released Democrats from all ohl;-
CATION to support that nominee: and
lett the matter entirely discretionary
SO far as party ties are concerned.
We are personally unacquainted with
Mr. Stoddard; he is doubtless a een-
tleman of ability and integrity but
with his views as an extremist, no Dem
ocrat can agree. Mr.. Hanchett's abll-
ity and integrity are unquestioned.-
Though differing politically, we have
seen nothing, thus far, in his congress
lonal career, but what evinced the most
undonbted loyalty and an earnest de-
sire to support the government in the
suppression Of the Rebellion.
MIR. Hanchett will be elected bv q
tremendous majority-not less than
5000. -. j.. ... t
