An adjourned term of the Circuit Court,
Judge Pulling presiding, commenced here
on Monday, and will probably continue
during the present and next week.
The County Board at its special session
last week, adopted a resolution to complete
the building of the Court House at this time,
and Jan additional contract was made with
Mr. Mank accordingly. The entire build
ing will be finished by October 1st
Messrs. Wheeler, Merwin, Smith, Schott,
and Bird are the committee appointed by
theCounty Board toinvestigate the affairs of
the County Treasurer, and will commence
the investigation next week. The general
presumption seems to be that owing to the
destruction by fire OF most of the important
papers of the Office last fall and now, the
investigation will result In nothing.
The several insurance companies have ad-
justed their several losses Mr. Crane re

Stolen and Recovered.

Wednesday of last week, young man
giving his name as Lyons, called at the
Livery stable of Mr.. E. R. Evans, to hire
horse and buggy for the osteusibe purpose
of going to Redwood on business. Not
returning to the stable in the evening as
agreed suspicious were aroused that all was
n OF right and it looked very much like "a
niger in the fence" Subsequent events
showed the suspicious were not groundless.
Deputy Sheriff Giles was consulted and that
officer went actively to work to ferret out
the thief and recover the stolen property.
Trace was obtained of the thief the mex:
day after he hired the horse and buggy, and
it was discovered he had gone in the dlrec-
ton of West Bend, Washington County, 81
different direction altogether from the way
he said he was going. Upon reaching Adj
Olson, near West Bend, Sheriff Giles found
the property. The horse had been sold by
the fellow to one man at $4,000 and the
buggy and harness to another at $500,
making very cheap purchases if the trades
had only held good which, however, they
did not. The thief after getting his money
decamped for parts unknown and his capture
had 10 be given Up. The property was sold
the day after leaving here, indicating that
Mr., Evans patron was in favor OF rapid
drives and quick sales. Mr.. Evans is. TO be
over the recovery Of his pro-
perty, thanks to the energy and promptness
of Deputy Giles.

This Sarsaparilla is combination Of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock - with the Iodides
OF Potassium and Iron, and is the most
etflcacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting It's virtues have
accumulated. and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority Of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
