Coal FOR THE MILLION. take no
little pleasure IN calling the attention
of our readers to the advertisement OF
Messrs. Dudley & Church, of the
Northwestern cash coal yard. Messrs.
ID. q o. are energetic business men,
and have built up a mammoth business
in the west, becoming, in fact, the coal
princes of the west. They have two
extensive yards. and both are filled with
the different qualities of coal which the
market demands. As agents for the
eastern miners, and as men who thor
oughly understand every department of
their business, they are certainly en-
abled to offer excellent facilities to
purchasers both in the city and in the
country, and by the ton or cargo. In
the city where they are known and
where they have filled many of the
largest contracts with manufacturing
establishments, they enjoy an excellent
reputation, both for their manner of
doing business as well as the quality OF
their goods.
The Northwestern yards are well sit
mated for business. Vessels come to
the docks with their cargOes, and the
railroad depots are near at hand for
shipping. Great care is taken in filling
contracts and orders from the country,
and goods are shipped on first trains
and in good order. Our country friends
in buying Goals should call at the
Northwestern yards, look through their
stock and price list. Daily Wisconsin,,

absorbed through the lungs into the

remedy-"AYER's AGUR CURE'-which
rarely, or as some of our neighbors say,
never fails. 1t is reliable both for pre-

live with complete immunity from the
malignant effiuvia which has hitherto

A Pair OF RattIesnakes Three Months In
an Express once.

For the last three months box lay
In the American Express Office, inlthis
city, until yesterday. Since the 4th of
July last, this box remained until
called for" For some time past strange
noises had been heard in the vicinity
of the box with the unknown contents,
and the night watchman's slumbers had
frequently been disturbed. Yesterday
the box emitted peculiar odor, and a
clerk was commissioned to ascertain the
cause. When opening the securely
nailed top, out jumped two well grown
rattlesnakes, one about five and the
other seven feet long.
The shorter reptile, although lying
in the box for three months, was in a
healthy condition, and in full posses
sion of its faculties, for its first i'm
pulse was TO raise its venomous fangs
at its deliverer. The other exhibited
serious signs of infrmity, for one-half
of the body was in bad state of de-
composition. The establishment of the
officials at the unusual sight gave way
TO a feeling of security, when the
porter of the establishment dispatched
the larger but less animated reptile by
a well-directed blow on the head. The
other required more stringent meas
ures, and decapitation was resorted to
before life became extinct. The snakes
were booked from Great Bend, Indiana,
and were evidently intended for some
itinerant Snowman travelling in this To-
cality. Toronto Globe.
