D. W. Compton lost valuable COW
on Sunday night. 1t is suspected she
was poisoned.
A man can live on music and poetry
until after he is married, but after
that he must be fed regularly or he
will make music of another kind.
A large feet of lum Der is passing
down the river, belonging to Capt.
Bell, of Kilbourn. He has excellent
weather and a good stage of water for
running.
Prof. Huxley says it is just as safe
to marry on three weeks courtship
as to wait longer. Each side will con-
ceal all faults as much as possible any
how.
A rumor was afoat on Monday
that an attempt had been made to
enter the bank on the evening previous
and that our nightwatch shot a couple
of times at the prowler. We have
not seen Mr.. Bell. SO are unable to
say that such was the case.
At the rate settlers are coming in,
in few years our county will boast of
as large population as most counties
in Central Wisconsin. There is lots
of land still unoccupied, which is of
as fine quality for farming purposes as
can be found anywhere.
The use of ST. JACOBS OIL is in
deed followed by the most wonderful
results. More than j. dozen cases
have come to my knowledge, where
ST. JACOBS OIL effected speedy cures,
but I will only mention one instance.
A man suffering for twenty-four years
from Rheumatism was induced to try
the ST. JACOBS OIL. He used few
bottles of this truly wonderful remed j

We have received our Washington
hand press which has been rebuilt BY
|
Paterick & Mahoney, and is now a!
good as new. Mr.. Mute Mills die
most of the work. He is a first class
machinist as also are Messrs. Nc
Cracker, Maheney and Paterick, al
being experienced men in their bust,
ness. We print this issue on the
the press which speaks for itself. SEE

genial or better natured set of fellows

short, Gov. Pound is bringing the ole
gentleman to time, and making him
make good some of his sharp practices
on his dutiful and patriotic ward"
While we do not uphold the killina
of one man by another for any cause
except in actual self-defense, yet We
believe there is great deal of sympa
thy and time wasted upon Mr.. De
Young, by large number of paper:
throughout the country. When a mar
enters into the assassination business
and at the same time Systematically
follows up his attacks with an unprin.
cipled newspaper, he must not be sur,
prised if he is shot III return, although
two wrongs do not make a right, yet
the old proverbs that ''like begets
like" and Glove begets love- still hold
good. Mr.. De Young only. is to blame
for his death. He has fallen victim
to vengence by a mode of dealing
which is but the echo of his own.
