PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by q
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 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
Tumors. alleaVing the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability. but try
it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it Of him, we will send it,

WHERE rs HE.

This is the question that is asked by
many an anxious inquirer in our thrifty
and growing village.
Where is he? Well dear friends, his
whereabouts are hidden in the misty
depths Of unlimited space
For the past two and one half years,
Mr.. j. J. Glass has been atationed at
Marshfeld, and has been engaged in
disposing of the Fox River Improve
ment company village lots to parties
who desired to build homes upon them.
Great dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed by many on account of the ex-
treme delay in furnishing parties with
receipts for monies paid to him and a
corresponding delay in supplying them
with deeds and contracts Of their lots,
even when paid fer in full Various
parties hold Glass individual receipt
for amounts varying from $40 to $50
Or $50, and upon inquiry, it has fire.
quently been found that this money
has not been paid over to A L. Smith
of Appleton, as requested.
We are informed that Mr.. Buck.
who is here in the interest of the
company, already acknowledges that
400 have been paid Mr.. Glass,
which has not been accounted for to
the company. Many people here
have expressed their opinion that the
company should make this deficiency
right with the unfortunate parties,
but they absolutely refuse to do SO.
Mr. Glass has not been interviewed
in the matter and may possibly pro-
duce satisfactory explanations and we
hope this will be the case, for the
monies reported missing, have, in most
cases, come from poor. hard working
men, who can lily afford to lose it

SLOW BUT SURE.-M0RE ENTER
PRIsE.-Work has already begun at
the Bensley saw mill, under the super
vision of Mr.. B. G. Chandos, as a be-
ginning to large enterprise and the
development Of the property known
as the Garrison water power. Plans
and specifications are being drafted
and estimates have been made for con
verting the valuable water power,
above named, into a lath, shingle and
picket mill, leaving the rotary as at
present and making room for a pony
rotary also Besides this, three run
of stone will be put in for the manu-
facture of pulp to be made from the
waste wood derived from saving logs
into lumber The conversion of the
slabs etc. in this way will make it a
paying investment without doubt.
The old mill will be renewed III all
parts where it is considered necessary
and the race banks raised sufficiently
to give them Is feet head For the
present one new water wheel will be
put in, and fume room left for more.
About fifty men will find steady and
remunerative employment in this new
enterprise. The grounds about the
mill are being leveled up and the race
is being excavated and cleared Of rub
bish. Not less than SIS, 900 will be
laid out in this grand work which will
give increased life and labor to this
thriving little metropolis. It would
also be wise for grumblers and Stun
bling blocks to get out of the way and
hold their peace. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Bensley to also prepare por-
ton of the mill so that full-fedged
paper mill can be put in on short ne
tice. Hurrah for Mr.. b. More cap
italists can find room for investments
in the twin cities. Who will be the
next. Don't all speak at once.
