1t Nav Save Y our Life.

Habitual constipation or costiveness
is the fruitful source of innumerable
ills; the first of which is impurity of
the blood, and as natural conse-
quence, the action of the heart, liver,
the stomach and kidneys is disorder
ed. 1t is unreasonable then to expect
a return of health while the cause of
these troubles exist, viz: Constipa-
tion or Sluggishness of the bowels. 1t
is the habit generally adopted to re-
sort to Salts, Castor Oils, Calomel,
ETC., which only afford temporary re-
lief, leaving the bowels in far worse
condition after the effects of these
medicines have passed off. DR.. Solo
mons Bittefs move the bowels to a
healthy action, not acting as it were
mechanically, but they stimulate the
secretions, and in a healthful and
natural manner expel all impurities
without weakening the body. They
increase the appetite, and cause the
body to take on flesh, thus the system
is nourished, and by their tonic ac-
ton on the digestive organs, regular
stools are produced. 33-5t

of the people during the late election

no better illustration of the success

than the firm of d. M. Ferry, Detroit,

Nupitals.

Agreeable to invitations issued some
time ago, a large number of friends
assembled at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. r.. l.. Nero in Diamond Bluff on
Christmas day to witness the mar
riage of their daughter. Fannie, to
Nj. Bernard Gilman. Promptly at
8 p. m. the bride and groom were
ushered in and the nupital knot was
tied by Rev. J. W. Hancock, of Red
Wing, Mimi, Then followed the
congratulations of those present and a
royal feast. which every one enjoyed
to an extent equaled only by the in
tensity of their congratulations The
happy couple were the recipients of
many useful and costly presents from
those present and from friends
abroad. Bota parties are to be con-
graduated on their choice. Mr.. Oft
man attended the Normal School at
River Falls, and is one of Pierce
oounty's most successful teachers. He
is at present teaching the Spring
Grove school. Miss Nero, also
teacher, received High School edu-
cation in Red Wing. They start in
life with the best prospects before
them and the good wishes of a host of
friends accompany them. b.

The meeting of the Wisconsin
Teachers Association held at Madi-
son last week was attended by Pres.
". d. Parker, Mr.. and Mrs. }. B.
Tnayer and daughter, G. III. Reyes,
secretary Of the association, all of this
place. Prof. Thayer participated
with other institute conductors in the
discussion of institute ways and
means for the present year. The dis
cussion brought to light the ill-rela-
ton OF county superintendent to in
stitutes, and the future management
OF institutes will be such us to unite
more perfectly the interests of super
intendents and conductors than hereto
fore. Prof. Keyes is an active mem
Der OF thu association and besides ad.
mirably djscharging the duties of Sec
Rotary, participated in placing the
Wisconsin journal of Education in the
hands of Or. Stearns of the Universl-
ty, and he made very marked expo
sition of means employed in his own
school for procuring and handling the
books Of school library. From the
State Journal quote:
prof. G.. II. Keyes showed the
excellent effects that had followed the
direction Of pupils reading by the
teacher at River Falls, and believed
that the pupils who read much ilashy
literature had taste for good reading
more than one for bad reading, and
could be turned to a better class of
books by tie teacher S direction.

The legislature Of this state con-
venes next Monday. The most impor-
tant matter before it as far as devel-
oped is the choice of an United States
Senator in place of Senator Cameron.
Tie fayolite candidate of this section
is Col. Spooner, but we fear he may
have Il formidable competitor in Gov.
Fairchild. VIM. Price is also said to
be in the field, but we think it quite
probable that he is only making an
advance with view to the future,
unless he may hope to be the dark
horse at this time. We believe that
Col. Spooner should receive the posi-
ton at this time. Young, energetic,
with a long experience in Legislative
matters, especially in the Inauguration
aud carrying out of important meas
ures, his career would be brilliant
one If elected while at the same time
one in which he would prove faith
full ally to his friends and cOnstitu-
ents. The ability of the Colonel is
recognized everywhere, and especially
10y those who have had in charge
great interests. Such man is fittest
for the public service; for he who
can serve the interests of great bus
mess with success will do excellent
service III tbs affairs of the country.

"chinese Gordon"

A biography of this remarkable man
ought to be interesting reading, es-
pecially if written by the famous
hero journalist and veteran war cor
respondent, Archibald Forbes. It is
not, therefore, surprising to see the
numerous editions of it published.
First there was the English edition,
of course at high price, then re.
print at $1.00 per copy by an Amer-
can ''high-priced" publisher; now fol-
lows the Literary Revolution edi-

You are shut up too much and exer-

The narrowing pains of rheuma-

times even to the last dollar, for use
less medicines are bad enough dear

fact that the sufferer is mind sick ov-

Installation Saturday evening, Jan. 10.

We are pleased to record that New
Years receptions were held last
Thursday by some of the ladies of this
place. Mrs. F. J. Burhyte assisted
by Miss Anna Pierce received from
two p. m, until late hour in the
evening, and her kindness in giving
an opportunity for the gentlemen to
have a pleasant afternoon was greatly
appreciated. Her rooms were darken-
ed and the ladies in handsome toilets
proved exceedingly good hostesses.
The Misses APP Roberts assisted by
Miss Hughes and Miss Susie Pierce re-
ceived their friends in the fine reception
room at the house of Mr.. Ap Roberts,
Their rooms were also darkened and the
light of the sun replaced by brilliant
lamps. All who hadthe good fortune
to call highly enjoyed their visits, and
unanimously voted that repetition of
the receptions ought to bs in order
next year. Excellent refreshments
were served at each place and music
whiled away many a moment.

The Skating Carnival.

The time was when skating carni-
walls were dependent upon our good
mother nature for the supply of
smooth surface upon which to evo-
Lutte, but science is progressive and I'D
this latter day we avoid the discom-
forts Of chilling breeze and snow
laden ice and disport in comfortable
ROOMS and under brilliant lights. At
least this was the case at the River
Fails Roller Rink last Saturday even
ing. At an early hour on that ev-
eniug numerous friends of the skating
community gathered to witness a
masquerade. Quite large number
OF masqueraders were on the floor,
highly enjoying the efforts of their
acuuaintanceS to detect them beneath
their quaint and unaccust omed cos
Tunes. a few could not conceal iden-
thy, but fer the most part the specta-
tors were batfled, and much amuse-
ment was caused by their wrong
pltesses when the hour of unmaSking
came. A prize had been offered for
the best mask, which was won by
Miss Hattie BeYans us tamborine
girl, a character which was we'll sus-
tanned. A young lad eostumed as
T0psy attracted considerable atten-
ti0n and his jolly freaks amused the
audience. The entertainment passed
Of very pleasantly and encourages a
REPETITION 1T some future dag.
