the wishes of the Grliteau sheet al
that place, the Gazette takes particular
pains to speak uncomplimentary OF
him and his business at every opportu-
nifty. No one but fools will believe
any of the Gazet fe's trash What a
quack doctor may say can have little
weight. The Times is the most relia

The ST. Paul railroad company in
tend extending the Dexterville branch
to Vesper and Pittsville, then to
Auburndale and not to Marshfeld as
some have been circulating it. The
company say that the pine along the
Yellow River has been nearly cut

Marshfeld, who is charged with en-
bezzling the funds of a Catholic
Society at that place and also using
monies received from citizens for lands
sold by him as agent for the Fox
River Improvement Company. His
embellishments amounting in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 Mr.. Glass waived
examination and gave bonds for his
appearance at the Circuit Court
MORE NICE THAN WISE The
lady who was a sufferer for years from
Itching Piles, and would not ask the
druggist for box of Swayne's Oint-
ment, throug fear that he might suspect
she had the old-fashloned Itch, was
certainly more nice than wise. 1t is
no disgrace to have the ltch-but it is
anything but nice to harbor it, and give
it to all the neighbores. Swayne's
Ointment efectually removes all
Eruptions of the Skin. leaving it clear
as a lily Do not be without it in your
family. Just as sensible tosthrow away

Witter was sent for as the bottle con-
tanned carbolic acid and for q time
grave fears we're entertained for her
recovery. The poor little girl was a
sad and pitiful sight, though she bore
the pain bravely and without murmer-

child to a favorable condition now, and
she will fully recover in time with her
sight uEimpaired.
The Democratic readers tell US in
one part of the country that the tariff
should be wiped out, and in another
part that internal revenue taxation
should be done away with. If this
programme were carried out neither
the principle nor the interest of the
national debt could be paid up. Nor
could the government continue in exist
ence. But that perchancc, is what
they would like to see - National
Reputation and National Ruin.

was lighted and left outside on the
church steps for light. 1t must have
