FancfeJ OF the Sick.

A diseased imagination is the usual con-
contain. of torpid stomach. There is no
complaint to which humanity is subject
which the dyspeptic does not a. different
times suppose that he has, or is about to
have. The only way to disabuse the suf-
ferer mind of these fancies, which are
realities to him, is to infuse life and vigor
INTO bis digestive organs and the most po-
tent preparation for this purpose is Hostel
tiers Stomach Bitters. There is no affec-
tom 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
dyspeptics have recovered their health and
the caI acity to enjoy life by the sole aid
Of this wholesome and searching vegetable
preparation AS an assimilant and an anti
bilious agent, remedy for lasitude, debili-
ty, nervousness and morbid fancies, there
has never been anything comparable to it
in any age or country. august

appearance at the Driving Park these days
and indications Of q stirring fall campaign
are apparent. New stables have been
erected and occupied by horses in the hands
OF skilled horsemen for training. The track

No little excitement was created last
Friday night in the town of Oak Grove,
Dodge County, about IL miles from this
city, by the finding of the dead body of a
man. The place " here the discovery was
was made is piece of woods, about one
mile from juneau, and so rods east Of the
railr DAD track. The body was lying at the
foot of tree with a broken hay rope around
the neck. On a limb of the--tree about 6
feet from the ground, was portion of the
rope, making itapparent that the man had
hung from the limb and that the rope was
broken off from his weight. The body was
that OF person 40 years of age, of respect
able appearance, and well dressed. II was
evidently a case of suicide. The man
was a stranger, as all efforts failed to find
out who he was. Some poor wanderer,
no doubt, who broken in spirit from mis-
fortune, took this method of ending an ex-
istence which was burden to him. The
solution of this mysterious affair will be
looked for an1iously by the inhabitants of
the neighborhood where the body was found

Operatfc.

Last Monday evening our citizens were
treated to line entertainment at Turner
fall. The occasion was the appearance of
Madame Schaumberg and Mr.. Alexander
Kost, both fine opera performers from Chica-
60, accompanied by Mr.. G. Nitschke, vio-
linist who, with Prof. Hooper, performed
the instrumental music for the even ing.
Of course the interest of the entertainment
conferred on the operate portion of the pro-
gramme which included a Grand Scene
and Duet from La File De Regiment and
from Ii Trovatore and concluding with an
opera comic, entitled Barkers' Secret.
Madame Schaumberg and Mr.. Kost met fully
the expectationssof the entire audience in
their brilliant rendition from these fine
operas, and their efforts were received with
rounds of applause. Both are artists of
the highests order. Madame Schaumberg
S especially grand in some of her delinea-
tions, and for fine compass of voice is hard
to excel. The superb violin playing of Mr..
Nitschke was well received, while the
splendid touch of Prof. Hooper in the ac-
compartments on the piano was admired
by all.
For the success of this splendid must
cal entertainment our citizens are mainly
indebted to our townsmen John w. Canes.
J. H. Sleeper, G. w. Hawley and Fred
Miller, who took great interest in the affair
and left nothing undone to secure large
audience.

The contract for doing the State Printing
FOX the current two years has been awarded
TO our neighbor, Mr.. E. B. Bolens, of the
Juneau Democrat, he being the lowest bid
der among four or Eve. The offer of Mr..
Bolens to do the printing at IS per cent
below the maximum rate caused no little
svRprise among the printing fraternity Of
the state; some posted in the business
going so far as to aver that Mr.. Bolens
would be out of pocket by the operation
1t is the lowest bid ever sent in OF the state
printing, and our opinion is nothing can be
made On the work at the rates Mr.. Bolens
agreed to do it for. But be that as it
may, Mr. Bolens has been awarded the
printing and has consented to do it. For
the two years the printing will probably
amount to over $4,000.
