right leg in the gearing with such
force as to break both bones of the

The republicans of this city held
an interesting caucus at their club
room on last Saturday night. The
object of the caucus was to select
thirteen delegates to attend the re-
publican county convention held at
Dodgeville, on Wednesday. In the
first ward there was holly contest
ed, but one sided fight between a
large majority and a determined
minority, but although some bitter
words were said by some of the
brethren they did not come to
blows. In the second ward slate
was prepared and passed around to
the voters in the shape of slips con-
tanning six names, which were to
be voted or scratched as the voters
saw fit. The result was that the
slate carried everything before it,
much to the chagrin Of more than
one willing Barkis who wanted to
go to Dodgeville as a delegate. The
disappointed men in this ward were
more demonstrative than those in
the first, but wrath availed them
nothing and they departed to their
homes feeling sadder though wiser
American citizens.

1t is bad enough in all conscience
to be tormented to death by Rheu-
matism or Neuralgia, but when
your money is wasted in buying
worthless medicines, your case is
doubly trying. B. H. Jacques, of
Houlton, Me, says he spent $500
in trying to cure himself of Rheu-
matlsm, from which he had suffered
for two years and a half. His pastor
happily called his attention to ATH-
LoPHoRos, whose merits he had him
self proved. Two bottles put all his
pains to flight and placed him on
his feet again.
