SPILL, the Banker"

The annals of the poor are short and
simple. One of these records tells how
a poor navy became hero by forget
ting self even when death was clutch
ing him.
Years ago, when English was digging
canals, the laborer who delved therein
was called NAVY. The name, an
abridgment of navigator, connected in
the public mind the digger with works
for internal navigation. In course of
time it came to designate laborer on
railroads and other public works.
This navy was called "Bill, the
Banker" because his usual post was at
the top of foaming embankment,
among the tip-carts.
He was "top-man" over a shaft of a
tunnel which was being cut on rail
way. The shaft was 200 feet deep, and
ran down through solid rock. p T..
Bills duty was to watch the large iron
bucket filed with rocks, as it was hoist
ed from the bottom, run it to the tip
cart, and return it empty to the NAVY
below.
If rock fell off the bucket, Bill
shouted:
"Waur out below" and the men ran
further into the dive.
One day, as Bill was leaning over the
shaft, swinging in loaded bucket, his
foot slipped, ard he fell into the shaft.
He knew he would be dashedto Jelly I;
but he thought of his mates below.
If he screamed, they would rush out
to learn the cause of the unusual noise,
and some of them would be dashed by
his heavy body.
If any of them were at the bottom,
and he did not give the usual warning,
they would be killed.
His mates heard one moment his
clear voice, "Waur out below" the
next, the thud of his smashed body.
They were saved. 81. -
HBill, the Banker" was more than G.
poor, uneducated NAVY; he was a hero

majorities. As neighbor and citizen
he IS respected and honored by all who
know him. 1t is but simple justice to
say of Mr.. Gardner that during his
ten years residence in Wood county,
he has maintained reputation abso-
lutely above reproach. Possessed of
ability of very high order, always
prominent in his profession and in
public affairs. entrusted with impor-
tant interests public and private. he has
never failed in ability, nor swerved in
fidelity to his obligations. No ADLER
nor purer man than he can be found
to represent Wood county in the pop
ular branch of the State legislature
In the selection of Mr.. Gardner to
fill that position by an overwhelming
majority, let the wisdom and independ-
ence of our people be demonstrated.

PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times. symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fatuency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
very disagreable itching. particularly
at night alter getting warm in bed, is
a very common attendant. Internal.
external and itching Piles weld at
once to the application Of DIR. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving the intense itching.
and efecting permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability. but try
1t and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address

Hon. Chas. NJ. Webb, of Grand

the 18th senatorial district. If elect
he will stand in the shoes of one OF
the best senators syer sent from north

fitness to succeed Mr. Scott are admit
ted and his chances of election are
almost certain Wausdu Central.
The Gazette places the name of tie
Hon. Chas NJ. Webb, at the head OF
its columns for State Senator In
doing so, we would state that it is not
done because Mr.. Webb is a republi-

he Is the ablest and fttest man, that
he will see, in case he is elected, that
the interest of his district does not
suffer. 1t is for this reason principal

Hon. Chas. NJ. Webb, of Grand

The following few lines are taken
from the New London Times: A
candidate, against whom the demo
cratic press can only bring the charge
of working up from an OK teamster to
the head of the largest lumber manu-
featuring firm on the Menominee river
by hard labor and honorable business
tact, is just the candidate the people
viii select for their representative in
Congress. Though many hints have
been thrown out to the effect that
Hon. Isaac Stephenson was urging
his boom by the use of money, not a
paper dares to assert it for a fact, well
knowing that one iota of evidence is
in existence to sustain the contempti-
BILE, cowardly insinuation. Mr.. Steph-
enson is as far above reproach as any
candidate ever placed before the people
of Wisconsin.

The talk about Mr.. Park being an
independent in politics. is simply not
true. If elected to Congress he will
obey the dictates of the Democratic
caucus, with the same zeal and UNI
finching devotion to tho party as the
most rob;5 n--ocrat on that side of
tho r-~use. Then why should Re-
lpublicans assist in sending him there
to help swell the Democratic vote, and
perhaps give them the control of the
House. We make no personal war
against Judge Park. We are perfect
" willing to leave that style of
electioneering to the Democratic press.
which is constantly putting words into
the mouth of Mr.. Stephenson about
the use of money which he never
uttered and probably never thought of.
But we must insist that there is MOTH
ing IN the past or present political
record of Judge Park that warrants
his friends in asking or expecting aid
from Republican voters.-St. Point
