1t is not an auction,
It is not humbug.
1t is no laughing matter,
1t is as true as gospel, that NJ G..
Warren is selling his chamber suits in
particular, and his furniture in general
at prices never before offered in this
vicinity. A constant supply of new
furniture is being received to supply
our customers An abundance of
chairs, stands, picture frames, extern
sion tables and bedsteads at lowest
cash prices.
The reunion of the Iron Brigade in
Madison will take place September Is
and II. The regiments which com
posed the old Iron Brigade were the
Third, Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin,
the Nineteenth Indiana and the
Twenty fourth Michigan. Of the five
regiments about 700 men survive, and
it is expected that at least 500 will be
in attendance. The reunion will be a
quiet gathering of the members of the
brigade. The generals who success
sively had command Of it were Rufus
King, father of Col King, of Mil
waukee, John Gibbons, Lysander
Cutler, Sol Meredith, E. S. Bragg
and John A Kellogg. Of these only
Gems. Gibbons and Bragg survive, and
both will be present at the reunion.

Twelve Hours saved by taking the
Wisconsin Central for Duluth and
Superior. The travelling public will
be pleased to learn that beginning

r. r. will put on new train between
Ashland and Duluth and Superior to
connect with the Wisconsin Central
train known as No which leaves Mil
waukee at 1870 A. NJ every night in
the year Saturday and Sunday inclu
ded. By this arrangement passengers
arrive in Superior at 9:30 ?. NJ. and
in Duluth at 1920 the same day.
This new departure of the Wisconsin
Central and it's coadjutor the

the 18th inning At the glass ball
shooting L. NJ. Nash broke s balls in
10 shots making the best record of the
day T. j. Cooper and the Lyon

ball shooting makes very pleasant
past time for the sporting men and is
interesting to others. Phil Ward made
a clean record breaking 2 balls in 10
shots. The net receipts of the day
