Hundred Dollars in Jeopardy.

He lives near this city, is farmer, and
his name is Isaac Finn, all of which did
not prevent him from taking stroll around
the circus grounds last Thursday. A sleek
looking man came out of side show tent
and invited Mr.. Finn in to see the elephant
Mr. Finn was delighted This was the
his dignity ;entitled him to since he had
been on the ground, and of course he would
60 in After little man passed around
box OF envelopes and aeked our hero to
help himself, which he declined to do at
first; but finally consented, after hit e
urging. On opening it he found the ticket
on the inside to be No. H. All, says the
man TO Mr. Finn, that is one of the num-
bers which draw two dollars for one but
of course you cannot now take advantage
of this fact since you put up nothing before
you drew So he takes the envelope con-
tanning ticket No. II, and puts it back
among the rest, but very carelessly, as Mr..
Finn thinks, leaves the corner sticking up,
and goes on asking one and all to take a
chance of getting two dollars for one Mr.
Finn is excited, aud with his eyes fastened
on be envelope with the corner sticking
up, he planks down 500 and draws. OF
course he didn't get No. IL Mr.. Finn
is surprised urprisad at the number of the
ticket, and also at seeing the man and his
money disappear under. the canvas.
Later in the day some arrests were made
and we understand Mr. Finn got back his
money. Next!

Assisting Nature.

1t is of no use attempting to force nature.
She won't stand it, and rebels. She must
be coaxed, as it were, not driven. For in
stance, { attempting to overcome constipa
ton or indigestion, violent, Or what physic-
ians call, by way of euphony, s'heroic :"
treatment, is sure to defeat the purpose in
view, which is, or should be, to permanent
ly remedy the evil. The use of drastic ca
thartics is especially to be deprecated, for
although they temporarily overcome cos
tiveness, yet the intestines are so weakened
and infamed by them as to be rendered un
fit to perform the elective function properly.
How much better to assist nature in such q
case with such mild and salurary aperient
as Hostetter's Stomach bitters, which
strengthen at the same time that they re-
lieve the bowels. Not only is this result
achieved by their use, but the &C tivity of
the torpid liver is restored, the stomach
invigorated, and the entire system greatly
benefited

Langrishe d Atyvater Troupe.

Our citizens and especially our old resi-
dents, will be doubtless not little SURPRISED
to learn that the old theatrical firm of Ian
grishe and Atwater has been restored, and
are once more making a tour OF Wisconsin.
In days gone by, there was no better troupe
travelling th an the Langrshe and Atwater,
and we understand their present company
maintains well the former reputation of the
company. The Langrishe and Atwater.
theatri cal troupe gives two performances at
Turner Hall pezt Friday and Satu rday
evenings, and we doubt rot the company
will be greeted with crowded houses.

To Smart individuals.

Isn't it about time that sharp fellows
stopped beating side-showmen out of
their money on circus days? Has side
sh ow, with its fat woman, snakes, ETC., in
side, and clean looking men with mouths
that never speak, on the outside, no rights
that these smart individuals are bound to re-
spect? 1t looks like it. Why men will
come miles for no other purpose than to
beat these poor, harmless sde-showmen out
of their b ard learned money, it is hard to
conceive. To be sure the keeper of the tat
woman travels aud must expect to encoun-
ter dextrous men who know all
about tricks, but yet is it fair and just on
the part of cold smartness" to walk into
the keepers tent in broad day light bet on
bis game, take his money, and perhaps
lesee him crying to have it back ? We
have never had much acquaintance with side
showmen, but evidently they are men of
immense means who are travelling through
the country for pleasure, and We think it
is too bad that they should be the prey OF a
class of men who know everything, men
who ought to measure swords with some
thing worthy of their STEEL instead ofexer-
csing their huge intellects in order to ex-
tract paltry hundred dollars from these
poor sinnocents abroad" It isn't to be ex-
pected' that IN inexperienced Snowman
stands any chance against ''smarty,' who is
mp to all the lodges who knows the right
envelope when he sees 1t; and we in all
candor say that he ought to allow the
Snowman to pursue his delightful avocation
without interference. Hereafter let our
bright friends follow their legitimate calling
of blow and bluster, and notify to get
something for nothing.

rumor that a man and woman had en-
gagged in shooting affair in the 5th Ward
The woman in the case is alleged to have
used shooting irons on the man with some
effect, as could be seen from the blood
smeared head of the individual as he an
peared on the street to have his wounds
dressed. Stories are told that the whole
thing is sham so far as shooting is con-
cerned and that the weapon of attack aud
defense used was knife. An effort will
be made to have sthe truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth" come out

Obituary.

Tbe Detroit Free Press of July LIST, an
nounces the Geath Of MIR. Daniel Corby,
father of Rev. Father Corby, of this city, at
the age of seventy seven years The de-
ceased was native Of Ireland, and emigra-
ted to the United States at an early age.
As early as 1925 Mr.. Corby was civil en-
glneer il the service Of the Government, and
superintended the building of military
roads in the, then, territory of Michigan.
We copy the following from the obituary
notice published oy the Free Press:
In a few years, by untiring industry. he
was enabled to purchase a large tract OF land
in the vicinity OF Detroit, where he lived
until 1872. At this time, seeing that he
was advancing in years and that his family
had grown up, he apportioned his real es-
tate among them, reserVing competency
for himself and two daughters, and removed
into the city, at II EImwood avenue. As a
pioneer he labored necessarily to advance
the interests Of the community in which he
lived. Mr.. Corby was extensively known
and respected by all for his answering in
tegrily and honesty. On this account, and
in consequence of his known good judgment
he was called to fill the Office of justice. AS
Christian gentleman MIR. Corby was es-
teemed model worthy or the closest imi-
tation. He was known as lifelong tenn
peran ce advocate, and on all occasions
ineulcated its principles. In religion he
was Catholic, and lived up to the require
menss of that faith with scrupulous exact
ness.

Almost q Murder.

A difficulty arose between two neighbors
in the town of Pennington last week. in
which a man named Lewis Schoechert was
severely beaten by two men, father and
The particulars, as we learn them from
person well acquainted with both parties,
are as follows:
The Jankes and Schoechert are near
neightors, their houses being nearly OPP
posite, with a road between them. Janke's
dog had taken dose of poison from some
unknown person which caused him (the
dog) to kick the bucket. The dog Sc
| lected for his final resting place piece of
ground in rather close proximity to
Schoechert residence; Schoechert request
ed the Jankes to remove and bury their
dog, which was little too great request
for the dignity OF the Jankes to endure,
and they proceeded forthwith to convince
neighbor Schoechert that a majority must
| rule in America; that it is a free country
and every man can do as he peases. They
accordingly went for Schoechert, the old
man catching and holding him by the
shoulder and arms while the young man
laid on the instructions with good sized
club which he held in his hands. The re-
suit is Mr. Schoechert is horribly beaten
about his head and arms, add at las. &C.
counts he was not able to leave his house.
The Janke's were arrested upon warrant
issued by Esquire Woodman of Johnson s
Creek and gave bail for their appearance on
