Three-fourths of our people are

Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has
depressing influence on the mind or
body,preyenting them from thinking
or acting clearly in any matter Of
importance. Indigestion, coming up
OF food after eating, dyspepsia, sick
headache, acidity of the stomach or
any arrangement of the stomach or
liver upon which the whole action
of our system depends) are speedily
and eifectually overcome by the use
of Green's August Flower The most
stubborn cases have yielded to its
influence, rs thousands Of letters re-
ceived will testify, The immense
sale of this medicine is another

party man strikes a blow at the
best friend and protector this nation
ever had. Under its uninterrupted
guidance the morals, the habits, the
intellectual and inanciab condition
of the men of this nation were be-
ing raised to higher plain, the like
of which was before unknown to
history, and there is ample room to
doubt if Olin and his third party
can perform the equal. The cause
OF temperance is a grand one, but
as to the better mode of advance
mentis the question. Certainly that
of risiculing the element from
which comes the most encourage
ment is not. The idea of referring
to the prohibition south and the
whisky north is sublimely ridiculous.
Take the vote of 'S4 for st. John
(who, by the way, must have been
put up for candidate before he was
a third party advocate, because Olin
said st. John hadn't been one more
than Is months). In all this solid
south the combined vote for st. John
was but little more, if any, than
some of the northern states alone
polled for him.
Time will not permit any further
remarks in this issue. Suffice it to
say that Olin's three hours burst of
ridicule upon the Republican press
and party was well delivered before
a large audience, fully one half
women. The converts have not re-
ported.

COUNTY FuRs.-Ninety per cent.
of the county fairs held in Wiscon-
sin for the past three years have
been financial failures. People
won't turn out. They have either
grown tired of them, and there is no
use IN Disgusting the fact that some
kind of a new deal must be made,
IN order to attract the attention of
the public.
The law at present allows each
county agricultural society to draw
5000 for each fair held. With that
condition there is a codicil that no
intoxicating liquor must be sold on
the grounds.
Now, why wouldn't it be good
idea to divide the State into four
fair districts, and let the State give
$4,000 to each of the four fairs. The
State Society now draws $4,000 per
annum; the Northern Wisconsin
Association has $4,000; and several
others draw sums larger than that

If the State would withdraw all
