An Astonishing Pact

A large proportion of the American PEG.
pie are to-day suffering from the effects Of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses Of in,
telligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden in
stead of a pleasant existance Of enjoyment
and usefulness asst ought to be. There
is no good reason for this, if you will only
throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advise of Druggists and your friends,
aud 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 10 every case. You
can buy sample bottle for ten cents 20
try. Three doses will relieve the worst
case Positively sold by all Druggists on

HowTwatches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual Gust of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as follows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kiuds of
chasing, engraving and enamelhng; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold These cases
are for sale By all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 90 YEARS. If your jew
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsTOZ

A correspondent of the Steven
Point Journal mas the following notice
of Upham & Brothers large mill which
will be of in crest to many Of our rea-
ders.
One day last week, we spent an hour
or two between trains in each Of the
above villages. Marshfeld has grown
wonderfully within the last year and
in fact, since January last. the num-
Der Of buildings in the village has
nearly doubled, The village is sur
rounded by an excellent quality of
farming land, and settlers are going
in almost every day to take up lands
and make farms Talk about going
west Why the man who thinks he
can do better among grasshoppers and
blizzard, alkili water and prairie fires
than he can in timber country where
his harvest is sure, and where the
winds never root the harem of their
tail feathers must either be crazy or to
lazy to work. Marshfeld is bound to
be one Of the best towns Oh the line
the very land on which it stands war-
rants it. The new mill recently built
by G. NJ Upham & Bro. is the main
mandatory of the village, although
the hub and spoke factory owned and
operated by the Menasha Wooden
Ware Company is an important indus
try and affords employment to quite
large number of men. The mill of g.
NJ Upham & Bro Was started up in
March last and has been running near
ly ever since. The main building is
33x144 feet, the shingle mill 30x34
feet, and they are now putting on a
new addition 50x50 feet for their re-
saving machinery. Their mill is sup
piled with the Prescott Steam Feed,
and as this is the first one the writer
had ever seen. we were very much in
terested in watching it work. They
run one circular, two trimmers and
will shortly start up their shingle
machine. Last winter the firm put in
6,0O0.U00 feet Of logs into their
pound, about half Of which they have
saved oue. Their stock consists Of
about one half pine and one-half hard
and soft wood such as ash. oak, butter
nut. Eastwood sc. which they manu-
facture into bedstead stuff. This firm
own large tracts Of pine near their
mill, and; we are informed by W. I'll.
Upham that they have enough timber
to run the mill for the next ten years,
and there is plenty more land handy
by, which is also heavily timbered In
addition to their mill, they also run a
general merchandise store. We were
shown through their store by Mr. Ii
E. Howe. the gentlemanly and efficient
book keeper, who evidently has his
hands full keeping the books of the
firm and looking after the large stock
of goods. Messrs G. NJ Upham q
Bro. are live, wide-awake business men
and with such favorable surroundings,
their milling enterprise must certainly
be success.
