CHURCH DEDICATION.

The dedication of the new Bristol M.
E. church passed off very pleasantly in
deed. The sermon in the morning by
DR.. Ridgeway was excellent. And the
lecture in the evening by Rev. III. P.
Haylett, of Oshkosh, was certainly very
good one. 1t gave universal satisfaction.
The total cost Of the church, including
lot, few sheds, etc., is about 5000,
500 of which was raised on the day of
dedication. 1t was wonderful to see
how nobly and willingly the people gave
to the good cause.
The oyster supper given by the ladies
after the lecture was decided success.
Upwards of 200 sat down to supper
There is noble band of women at Bris-
toll station and vicinity, who are always
ready to do their part in any good en-
terprise.
The Browne family rendered some
fine selections of music, for which the
society rendered them their thanks.
The day will long be remembered in
Bristol.
Special thanks is due to Mr.. and Mrs
Lavey, Bristol station, for their kindness
in throwing open their house to the
ladies for their oyster supper last Friday
evening. If the Rink" is too good tc
hold dinner or supper in, we are
thankful that some one has heart large
enough to open up their house.

Wesley Vanzandt, alias William
Brown, Wesley Backus, Lee Irwin
Charlie Williams, and dozen or more
of assumed names, was arrested in this
city on Tuesday evening by Chief oil
Police Hoye, officers Harkins, New
house and Puetz and Wallace Corcoran,
of Magnolia, Rock county, Wis, who
has been following him around the past
six months. He was just leaving the
residence of Mr.. Suydam, on the North
side, in buggy, when he was bounced
upon. Vanzandt is accused of having
six or seven wives and of forgery and
theft. He has been wanted in several
states for some time. IIe was taken to
GAINESVILLE by officer Corcoran. Chief of
Police Hoye received dispatches to look
out for Vanzandt, and discovered where
he would stop when he came here.
The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica-
ton, and one that will, by its own action,
reach all the remote sores and liberated
surfaces. The history of the efforts to
treat catarrh during the past few years
obliges us to admit that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions,
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients freely
concede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.

STRAY NOTES BY A Way
FARER.

"A boy was found drunk in Keno
sha.' says Chicago paper. aud the
UNION, with regard to the fact, says
"The man that sold the whisky
ought to have his license revoked .
Why? The city has licensed him to
sell, and his business is to sell all he
can to any one that will buy. You
plead that he has no right to sell
to minors. just so. But it is a want
of reasoning power to suppose you can
license man to do wrong, and then
say you must only do so much wrong.
You may let men drink and fit them
selves for crime, half starve their
families, and have their children train
ed up in ignorance and vice, but you
must not sell to a minor. Bah! The
men that give the license are worse
than the saloonists, and God knows
they are bad enough.

Mr.. w. e. Chester, of Montreal, hav-
ing had for some time Insurance Poll
cies for a considerable amount in our
Company, and we, in consequence, hav-
ing kept ourselves advised as to the
state of his health, it Is within my per-
sonal knowledge that he became seri-
ously affected with Asthma and Bron-
chitis in the year 1874-so much so
that his life was despaired of by his
physician and friends,
1t is also my belief, from information
not only from himself, but others, that
he has cured himself by the use of his
remedy, now known as "Chester's
Cure" and that he is now fully recover
ed and considered one of our best risks.

DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, can say that
/ think it an excellent preparation, /
have used it and have come much in
contact with its use. The best estimate
Of its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising
One person recommends it to another,
and its sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon its worth as remedy than
upon the results Of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
