A Book FOR EVERY FAMILY.-Ihere IS no
book tsave the Bible) Of more use in family,
especially where there are children, than a
good Medical Book-one fully adapted to the
wants and comprehension Of parents and The
people generally. Such work we are pleased
10 say is now being circulated aud offered for
subscription in our county. Who has not
heard of DR.. Gum, the world-renowned
author of the old work, "Gunn's Domestic
Medicine?" Here is a new work, much larger
and being Of recent date, must be much better;
by the same author. Do you want physician
ia the house-one that you can rely on at all
times? Then get DR.. Gum. Do you wish TO
escape sickness or preserve the health OF your
family? Get copy Of this work. Do you
wish to curtail your Doctors bills? Would
you ike TO inform your mind on the subject
of medicine, health, disease and the cOnsiitu-
ton, laws and operations OF your own physi-
cal system? Then get this work, for we
know of none so well calculated to give all
this information. A new feature has recently
been added to the work which, we think, is
alone worth the price asked for the entire
volume. 1t is styled s'Guide to Diagnosis"
and is peculiar to this work, being found in
no other book of the kind now before the
public. It is a novel and ingenious contT-
vance by the aid of which any one can readily
s'diagnose'' a case OF sickness, or, in other
words, tell from the symptoms what ais the
one who is sick An eminent physician re-
Gently remarked: ''Too much cannot be said
in praise of this |Guide.'" Enough to say
that it completely meets the objection SO often
and so truly brought up against all previous
works of The kind that ''they can't tell what
the matter is" The work is not for sale in
book stores, but can be obtained Of the agent,
who will call on our citizens, show them the
work and receive their orders for It,
Mr.. John A. Aupperle is the authorized
agent for the sale of this work in Grant Couu-
ty and will canvass the several towns therefor.

The Wisconsin Railroad Law
P. DOYLE Sec. of State.

According to the statements OF the
Chicago and Milwaukee dailies the
opinions of those two attorneys
Evarts and Curtis, of New York
OH the validity of the Wisconsin Rail-
road law has been given to the world.
The documents are said to be very
dry and very long, which is not sur
prising We judge that the Courts
Of Wisconsin are able to settle the
disputed question of the constitution
atty of the Wisconsin railroad law
without the aid of an Evarts or
Curtis. Notwithstanding the fact
that these great limbs OF the law
have essayed an opinion in favor Of
the railroad companies of this State
as against the present law, we pub
lish brief of their argument, with
the full confidence that the judicial
powers that he will not be influenced
thereby. Mr.. Evarts confines him
self to ono point, the burden of his
argument being that the laws in
question take the property of indi-
viduals without making any compen-
sation therefor, and the provision of
the Constitution of the State of Wis
consin which reserves the right to re-
peal or modify the charter of cor
poration cannot be construed to COW
er d case of virtual confscation. Mr..
Curtis holds that the Legislature has
no power to prescribe the remunera-
tion railway companies shall receive
for future services that the laws are
invalid because they take the proper
ty Of the citizen without giving him
any compensation therefor; that they
indirectly invalidate the obligations
OF contracts; and that the power to
prescribe q schedule of rates for rail
ways either does not exist in the
Legislature, or that it is unlimited,
which is, he would have it, absurd.

A New Currency Bill.

La the light of past experience, 80
far as the speeches Of Congressman
on financial questions is concerned,
the country will agree with US that
contraction is good thing, A new
currency bill is now to run the gaunt-
let Of public opinion. We understand
that the Senate Finance Committee
has agreed to support substitute for
the House Currency bill which will
provide for free banking, release the
reserves on circulation, except per
cent, which is to be deposited in the
Treasury, and require reserves on
deposits to be kept by each bank in
its own vault. In these particulars
the Committee bill does not differ
much from the House bill To pre-
pare for specie payments the pro-
posed bill will require the retirement
of greenbScks equal in amount to 80
per cent. of the new National bank
currency issued, the retirement to
begin at once and continue until the
volume of the greenback currency is
reduced to s3O0,OOO,OOO The re-
demption section of the bill is sub
stantially that SO often advanced by
Senator Sherman. 1t contemplates
the redemption of greenbacks after
January l, 1877, whenever presented
IN sums OF $1,000, or any multiple
thereof, in gold, or five per cent. gold
bonds, at the option of the Govern
ment ; the greenbacks thus redeemed
to be used by the Secretary of the
Treasury as any others in the Treasu-

"The Milwaukee News is enchant-

One of it's editors gets an allowance

GB The Milg 3ukee Sentinel, and
some other papers, are trying to make
it appear that President Grants veto
of the Finance bill is a violation Of his
promise in his first inaugural address
that he "would have no policy to en-
force against the will of the people"
While in the quoting business they
might as well quote his language upon
that point in full:
On all leading subjects agitating the

IMPORTANT DECISION. The Su-
preme Court of this State has rem
dered the opinion that Elevators are
subject TO taxation, the same as 9TH
er property. The case was the city
of Milwaukee VS.. the Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railway Company. The
Company refused to pay the taxes
levied on them, on the ground that
they were Railroad property. The
Court held that they were not neces-
sarily used in operating Railroads,
hence did not come within the ex-
emption clause.
