Saved his Child.

II N. Eutaw ST., Baltimore, Md.
Feb. II, 1880.
r, Gents Upon the recommended
tion of a friend I tried Browns
IRON BITrERs as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
.. my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle Of Browns
IRON BrrTERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
quired;" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BIrTERs, responded "that is
good tonic, take it."

Not one-tenth of the dogs in Staunton have
their taxes paid. Every year a few persons
come forward and secure medals at the com

jority of dog owners, knowing that there is
little fear of the law being enforced, never
seriously think of paying the tax. 1t is un.
just to those who do comply with the law tc
permit this wholesale violation of plain or

abolish the ordinance altogether, or see thai
it is enforced. Every night is made hideous
in certain sections of the town by the con

streets are filled day after day with medalless
dogs. If it is the duty of the police to report

perform that duty. As it now Is, ne one Seems

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 Precipitation, producing
very disagreable itching. particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application OF DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected. absorbing the

1t is amusing to hear the greenback
er8, democrats and few republican:
talk Of how easy Judge Park could be
elected, owing, as they say, to the fact
that many republicans are dissatisfied
with the result of the Wausau conven.
ton that Mr.. Stephenson was moi
the choice of the convention, and that
money was used to secure his nomina.
ton, ETC. All such talk will do fol
those who are not willing to abide by
the will of the majority, but with fair
minded republicans it will have neither
influence or weight, and Mr.. Stephen
son will receive their entire support.
Though our choice was Hon. G. M.
Webb, we shall gladly accord Mr.
Stephenson our undivided support, un-
less in the future we should have rea-
son to change our course. Every
republican should stand true to their
colors. When a greenback paper
speaks of our candidate as the Torch,
of W ausau does, in the following para
graph, it is reasonable to suppose that
republicans will stand firm in his ia
vor:
"Mr. [. Stephenson was nominated
on the second formol ballot, and as a
candid truthful writer, we must say,
that while we blush for the depravity
exhibited by the republican wire work
ers, we have seen nothing to prejudice
us against their candidate so far as he
is personally concerned. We look up
on him as representative man of the
pineries, a man of sterling integrity,
indomitable perseverance, one who,
when he sets his heart to reach a GER
tain point, bends every energy to &C
complsh that on which his heart is
set. We do not believe that be has
any personal ak to grind, nor that he
is put forward to accomplish the selfish
ends of any ring or clique. He is an
American citizen who has won his way
to wealth and we may say the foremost
rank OF business men. He now has
an ambition to place his name in the
roll of congressman. He covets the
honOrs for the name of Stephenson.
We do not blame him for that. On
the contrary, we admire his ambition,
and unless there shall be developed
other reasons than we can now see we
shall make no personal war upon him. ="

Republican Senatorial Convention.

A Republican Senatorial Convention for the
Eleventh Senatorial District of Wisconsin is
hereby called to meet at the city of Grand
Rapids, Wood County. on Thursday, Oct. 5th ,
1882, at o'clock P. n, for the purpose Of pnt-
ting in nomination a candidate for senator to
be supported at the en- suing general election,
properly come before said convention. The
several counties composing said senatorial
district will be entitled to representatives, in
said convention, as follows:

tant move accomplished in the lum-
bering interests of Northern Wiscon-
sin in which Mr.. Stephenson has not
taken a leading, and oftentimes the
leading part. In 1866, Mr.. Stephen
son was elected member of the As
sembly from the district comprised of
Door, Oconto and Shawano counties,
and re elected in 1868, from the dis
trict comprising Shawano and Oconto.
He has been Chairman Of the Board
of Supervisors, Justice of the Peace
for fourteen years, and held other local
offices. Those of more Importance
have been within his reach, but the
magnitude of his business interests,
if not inclination itself, preclude him
from political indulgence. He took a
leading part in the organization of the
Marinette County in 1879, and donat-
ed the site for the court house. AS to
his political faith. he was originally a
Wing, became Republican as soon
as the party was created, and has re-
manned steadfast ever since. Mr..
Stephenson's enterprise and public
spirit extends into many channels. As
an evidence, he has recently erected an
opera house costing $4,000. His
benevolences, however, are many and
unostentatious. He is, especially, a
friend to the churches, and sites for
their buildings which he has donated
are on both sides of the Menominee.
From this sketch it must be inferred
that Mr.. Stephenson is self-made
man. La his business relations, either
as member Of his own firm or in his
transactions with others, his character
istics are integrity and fairness, sound
judgment and clear perception. He is
a man of remarkable memory, and his
mind is therefore well stored with that
which both profits and entertains. In
his friendships he is warm and firm, and
his insight in character makes Of him a
man who seldom has twinge of regret
at misplaced confidence. In fact, after
a residence of twentythree years in
Marinette his character still remains
intact in it's soidity and probity.
