LET us see about this thing. During the
eighteen months ending July of this year
ninety railroad companies were sold out or
put into the hands of receivers. These roads
had oI2O miles of rails and an invested capi-
tai of S591, ,41s,9O2. The capital has been
sunk, the rails and road-bed and RAINING
stock have passed into the hands oi others
than those who made the original invest
ments. The loss has fallen upon the "Money
Power" the stock and bondholders; while
the men who labored upon the road got their
wages and lost nothing. Is it probable that
the rich have combined against the poor to
bring this result about?

AN ASTONISHING FACT-A large proportion
OF the American people are to-day dying from
the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver
The result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually a burden instead
of pleasant existence of enjoyment and use
fulness as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, il you viii only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice of drug
gists and your friends, and try one bottle of
Green's August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine
have been given away to try its virtues, with
satisfactory results in every case. You can
buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses viii relieve the worst case Positively
sold by all druggists on the western continent

WE understand that members of the
Temple of Honor are circulating petit
ton, to be presented to the new Board
Of Aldermen, asking that the retail liquor
license be raised considerably. With
out going into discussion of this sub
ject, we can not refrain from remarking
that the taxing of saloon keepers to an
unreasonable amount is not just in fact,
they have the sameright to carry on their
business as has lawyer or merchant,
and simply because they deal in liquor,
should not be oppressed it is OPP.
pressive to levy a tax beyond their ability
to pay. The fact of surplus of saloons
in the city does not furnish reason why
the man engaged in that business should
not have their rights respected as well
as dealers in any other article of con-
sumption. And the Temple of Honor
can find means to attain their object
much better than in attempting to force
men out of business WHICH they GER
tainly have right to carry on.

The Chronicle furnishes the following
items A vessel load of wagon material
was shipped to Racine, from this place,
yesterday, by Cooper & Jones. >. Geo.
Hammel, father of Ernst Hammel of
this city, died yesterday morning. Mr..
Hammel was one of the Oldest residents
of this city, and his death resulted from
disease peculiar to old age. The foun-
dation walls of Wehausen's mill are far
advanced towards completion. It is
Mr.. Wehausen's intention to have the
mill completed by the time the wheat
of the next harvest is ready for market.
The mill will be as complete and perfect
in its outfit as any in the state An
old man by the name of Thos. Langlois
was murdered at Bay Settlement, Brown
county, last Thursday by saloon keep
er named Henry Langele and his three
sons. The preliminary examination of
the Langele family is new in progress at
Green Bay. The murder is said to have
been most unprovoked and brutal one.
-. The petition of our citizens for the
establishment and maintenance of pier
light at the entrance of our harbor is
likely to be granted we are informed by
private letter received from Gen. Bragg.
A light of this kind is much needed, not
only for the guidance of vessels entering
our harbor at night, but for the protec-
ton of vessels lying at anchor under the
point during northeast blow.
