A diseased imagination is the usual con-
contain: of a torpid stomach. There is no
complaint to which humanity is subject
which the dyspeptic does not at different
times suppose that he has, or is about TO
have. The only way to disabuse the SUI
ferer's mind of these fancies, which are
realities to him, is to infuse life and vigor
into his digestive organs and the most po-
tent preparation for this purpose is Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters. There is no affec-
ton OF the stomach, no irregularity of the
liver or disorder Of the bowels, consequent
upon Indigestion, for which it is not an
absolute specific. During the twenty-five
years that it has been the standard tonic
and alternative Of America millions of
dyspep;ics have recovered their health and
the Cal acity to enjoy life by the sole aid
OF this wholesome and searching vegetable
preparation AS an assimilant and an anti
bilious agent a remedy for lasitude, debili-
ty, nervousness and morbid faucies, there
has never been anything comparable to it
in any age or country. august

The New Bridge.

At the meeting Of the Board Of Street
Commissioners:held last Monday evening Mr..
Bursinger and the other subscribers to the
building Of the new bridge across the river
st Cady street, proposed to erect with the
money that has been raised, two piers aud
two aoutmeats above high water mark.
The proposition was accepted. and when the
piers and abutments are finished the Board
will make provisions for the completion
of the bridge. Beyond the building of
the piers and asutments no plan has been
settled upon. The bridge will probably be
. simple truss bridge with 3 spans of so
feet each.

Hops.

We hear quite favorable accoun IS from
the hop J ards in Jefferson County, and un.
less some unforeseen event transpires be-
tween now and picking time fair crop
crop will be gathered. The yards in the
vicinity Of Lake Mills are said to look un
usually promising, and a large yield OF
good quality is expected.
Intelligence from the other hop regions
of the state is encouraging and nearly as
great a quantity to the acre is anticipated
as last year. The English .hop,crop it is e1-
pected will be light, while from the eonti-
nent of Europe reports are conflicting re-
garding the condition of hops. Altogether
matters now look pro missing for fair prices
in this country.

fort large and interesting fair can be held

covered that the money was missing.
On Tuesday, Peter Klein and A. Lang
holt, saloon keepers, were arraigned be-
fore Justice Peck on com Dlaint of DR.
Smith for selling liquor ON Sunday. The
prosecution was conducted by Miss Lavina
Goodell, of GAINESVILLE, a lady who has lately
entered the legal profession. The defense
had no counsel but pleaded not guilty,
which necessita ted the swearing of two
witnesses. On evidence Of these, the de-
PENDANTS were fined 500 and costs. They
appealed the case to the higher court.
We doubt if there are many Of the readers
of the Uuion who know how Wisconsin
came to be called the Badger State. The
name was first proposed by Philc White
of Milwaukee, in a convention held in that
city (then small vllage) in June 1896
The convention was called for the purpos e
of giving the state distinctive name after
the same fashion as Michigan is called the
Wolverine, and Ohio tho Buckeye state.
We gather the above fact from Isaac At

the Convention. = Union

less many focks in this vicinity will be

deposited one hea's egg. Whether this
nest had been prepared for the setting of
some fowl or otherwise we did not learn,
but this much was declared unto us, that

site Of his sex would have done, for three

hole in the ground the size Of which is said
to be in some places l6 feet in diameter and
in places two feet deet deep, throwing the
turf and soil some four rods distant.
