we nave great DOUBTS or the result
of this Sth congressional district if
the republicans allow tie interest to
wax so warm that enmity may arise
between any of the factions. Each
man should resolve to elect and stand
by the candidate the convention nomi-
mates.

*"Slow and steady wins the race. :"
Steadily, but not slowly, Kidney W ort
is distancing all competition for univer-
sal popularity and usefulness. This
celebrated remedy can now be obtained
in the usual dry vegetable form, or in
liquid form. 1t is put up in the latter
way for the especial convenience of
those who cannot readily prepare it.
1t will be found very concentrated and
will act with equal efficiency in either
form. Read advertisement.
During the storm of Monday night,
house just west of the Centralia de-
pot, occupied by Mr.. Mosher and fam
lily, was struck by lightning. The in
side of the house was considerably
shattered, completely demolishing 80
jars Of fruit, breaking dishes and near
ly destroying bed where one of the
children were sleeping, but fortunately
none of the occupants were injured.
We were surprised in reading an ar
ticle headed ''Our District" in the last
issue of the Wausau Weekly ReOaeao,
to think that Eugene Thayer would
write or even allow so foul, unworthy
and untruthful an article publicity. Mr..
Webb is too we'll known in this Wis
consin River Valley, and in fact in this
9th district for such an absurd article
to have any effect.
The different ward caucuses will all
meet on Saturday evening the 10Th
inst, to elect delegates to the county
convention which meets in the new

23d. The first ward caucus will be
held in the old Court House. The sec
ond ward caucus in the office of Clerk
OF the Court, and third ward caucus
In council room.
We received a copy of the Toma-
haaoh this week, paper published in
the city of Washington. It contained
among its interesting news an article
headed "Hon. T. G. Pound Member
of Congress from Wisconsin," The
writer gave brief sketch of his life
and labors in Washington during the
past six years. Had we space to spare
we would give our readers the article
in full. Probably will sometime in
the near future.
1t is hoped that the business men
in Wood county will take hold of, and
assist in making this years fair one of
the best yet ever held. The society
is in hopes to get out of debt, pay
their premiums dollar for dollar this
year and they can easily do it if all
will unite. The citizens have seen fit
to organize the society and have car
ried it out successfully for FIVE consec-
utive years, and the association hope
that the citizens will not want in inter
est to keep it going
Rev. Mrs. Olympia Brown, of
Racine, delivered an able and interest
ing lecture, on Woman Suffrage, to
small but appreciative audience, in
Garrison's hall last Thursday evening.
She has command of excellent lam
guage and is free, easy talker. She
enlightened quite a number on the
subject and left a favorable impress
ion.
LATER, Mrs, Brown delivered an
other able argument on Woman Suf-
frage, at the Cong, church, last even
ing, to full house.

of the Stevens Point high school.

feet gentleman and will prove valua-
bic increase to the society of that CITY.
