business employs so much foresight,
energy and business talent as this.
Those who use tobacco, of course
wish to get the purcst specimen ol

do this except by patroniz;ng reliable
dealers and manufacturers. Among
the many cigar manufacturers cl
this city, none enjoy create" popu-

their goods than the firm OF Wcntzel
Bros, No. GIG Ninth street North

the business for years and possess all
the advantages derived from long ex-
perience and practical observation in
their trade. Their patronage is not
confined to the large crowd that goes
to their store daily to enjoy a com
Portable smoke, but they supply q
large demand from abroad through
the channels of the wholesale trade.
Their stock comprises all the high
grade smoking and chewing tobaccos,
all kinds of fire cigars, such as the

tobacco and cigar case, with separate
compartments each communicating

THE NEW PATEMT
DUST-PROOF7
Stem Winding Open Face Case
MANUFACTURED BY THE
American Watch Co.,
WALTHAM, MASS.

This case is formed in one solid pfeco With
out joint or scam, opening in front only, thus
avoiding the usual Cap, and securing greater
strength and durability.
These Watches are all open face The bezcl,
into which an extra strong crystal is fitted with
an especially prepared waterproof cement, is
attached to the case by screwing it thereon, and
thus forms an air-tight junction with the body
of the case, which is proof against dust and
moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners. lumber
men and others who arc almost constantly cx-
posed and who have to make frequent reference
to the watch, these qualities are of the utmost
Importance.

A WORLD OF GooD.-Onc of the
most popular medicines now before
the American public, is Hop Bitters.
You see it everywhere. People take
it with good effect. It builds them
up. 1t is not as pleasant to the taste
as some other Bittcrs, as it is not a
whiskey drink. It is more like the
old-fashioned bone-sct tea, that has
done world of good. If you don't
feel just right, try Hop Bitters.

A CUSTOMER lately brought job to
the Pilot Office requiring for it's execution
a knowledge Of the ten commandments
serj atm. The manager of the Job de
partment didn't know what the command
meots included but told the customer
that the job would be done at certain
time. He marshaled the forces and a
short time after he was found immersed
in the dictionary looking for the decalog-
ne; the foreman was carefully studying
copy of The Chippewa Herald, and
the Devil was thumhing q copy of the
revised testiment-all ia search of the
commandments. Every one who entered
was questioned as to his scriptural
knowledge, and the wayfarer was in
great demand. Kirwan was appealed to
and he consulted the Wisconsin Digest
and gravely remarked that the case was
not yet reported. Carl Haw was way
laid and he remarked confdentially that
it was new temperance movement and
trenched upon personal liberty and he
would chew up the ring that invented
the commandments, and that he would
bolt every man of them. Whitman
thought it was some new device of the
monopolists and Fleming said he had
book for sale that explained the whole
thing, and that the republicans were
responsible for the evil results sure to
follow the PRONUNCIATION of such doc
trines. Bill Hempschemeyer thought
they had some reference to recurring
farmers to give half the road to people
travelling, and Sandford was of opinion
that they settled the matter of probate
printing and that the deceased had
some option as TO the proper paper in
which to publish matter relating 10 his
estate. Henry Mulholland was the only
man who struck ''ile," and ''the glory
the power" and the amen went to him,
only because the responsible editor
who Is ''up to snuff in religious matters
was absent when the matter was in
controversy.

WILL WALKER writes hand that no

PEOPLE go to the Chinese laundry and
claim that the queer looking document
is o receipt for shirts and the poor CHI

nothing else, usually give all the shirts
they have in their establishment for one
of Walkers letters. The Cinnamon of
this city are call broke up and have in
stead of their original capital, lot of
Walkers letters taken as their receipts
for soiled linen.
The legislature will take some steps
the coming session to prohibit Walker
from writing any more. There are about
800 of his letters travelling through the
Union looking for some one to claim them
and postmasters threaten to resign if
they are not spared the infection.
Lately he had occasion to write to
some one in Sturgeon Bay. Luckily,
Esslinger asked the destination OF the
letter and Endorsed it: ''This letter is
intended for--Sturgeon Bay" The
man got the letter, and a printed note

sultation with experts but no one knew
what information the letter sought to

from the reconcile character of the mis-
sive it contained matter Of great moment
and boldly seizing the horn of the di-
iemma informed the recipient that he
was sued in the supreme court. The
man put on his Sunday go to meetin'

went to Walker and in fearful accents
and scriptural language asked, "What
has thy servant done, oh mighty man of
the Pen that he should be thus afflicted
The mighty man looked at his letter
and answered sententiously "Damfno."
He made the man give bonds for his ap
pearance and is busy examining the let

MARRIED.

OAkLEY-SHELDON.-On Saturday,
February 9th, at the residence of the
bride in Branch village, by Rev. J. NJ.
Craig, Mr.. Byron Oakley of Amigo
and Miss Veroqua B. Sheldon of
Branch.
The young couple whose union is an
nounced above, are quite well known
throughout this county, having for some
time been engaged in teaching and at
tanned degree of prominence in their
profession which has given them an ex-
tended reputation. They are both people
of superior mental endowments and of
far more than average intellectual &C
qulrements.
MIR. Oakley has been admitted to the
bar but has not yet begun the practice of
law, being at present principal of the
Amigo schools. and is also engaged in
other business of a more remunerative
character. He is young man of con-
siderable force of character and has re-
ceived a training in the school of life
which is good basis for future success.
His bride, at the time of her marriage,
was engaged in teaching school of such
a character as to attest her ability. To-
gether with talent, she begins married
life with large capital of good sense
One feels safe in predicting happiness
and success for such people.

THE report of the Committee on
Commerce on appropriations and the
refusal to grant anything to Two Rivers,
Port Washington and Ocouto together
with recommendation to discontinue
work at these places, create good
deal of indignation at the points thus
Disseminated against. A re-considera-
ton of the question led to nothing
advantageous to Porb Washington and
Two Rivers, but will probably result in
placing Oconto on the list of places
deserving of government aid. Nature
has made q harbor possible at Two
Rivers and good one. Just at present
the commerce of the place does not
Justify any great expenditure, but it is
not because business sufficient at that
place would not follow the improvement
of the harbor. 1t is because of the need
Of such improvement. When the piers
were SO that they could be used, Two
Rivers was quite a shipping point by
water; with proper facilities it would be
again. There is quite large extent of
territory tributary to it and its business
would be materially increased by such
an improvement of the harbor as would
make water transportation possible.
Port Washington has no natural
advantages whatever q good 1unlDer
could clear the creek at its widest point.
The "harbor" does not follow the bed
OF the creek but is hole dug into the
bill. The wonder is not that it is recon-
meuded that the harbor be abandoned,
but that an appropriation was ever made
for the place.

SOCIAL,

Quite large number of guests assem-
bled at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. W. Barnes on Thursday evening of
last week in response to invitations
issued some time before. The parlors,
though spacious, were comfortably filled
and the cordial reception by the host
and hostess of their guests placed every
one at his ease and enjoyment reigned
supreme.
Provision was made for amusements
as varied as the tastes of guests and all
found society and entertainment con-
genial. 1t was one of the largest parties
given in the city as it was one of the
most pleasant and left pleasant recollec-
tons with everyone who attended.
