Edwin Clifford never appears in poor
play or with poor troupe. He is Wis
consin man and a general favorite. Let
no one fail to hear him next week. He
plays here three evenings in new play
each night.
! A THIRD ward man was staggering
along the streets on Tuesday, gloriously
full, when he was picked up by the mar
shall. 1t is seldom one sees o man so
completely filed with liqnor. He was
in danger of being run over by teams or
! of breaking bis neck from the many falls
| he had.

years, quit his place at the case on Sat

| type setter, an industrious and honest
workman. We wish him success in any
line of business he may choose to pursue.

$751; 900 bad been spent on it. If proper

$50, and be in excellent condition always.

The Lake Shore & Western road is
doing an immense business both in the
carriage of freight and of passengers.
The western trains are always crowded
and we learn that travel is much heavier
from Appleton west There is an i'm
mense amount of freight along the track
In the shape of ties, posts, etc., which

company busy for weeks. This has
grown to be quite large road and pay
