One of our firm being a practical

der storm, or an earthquake, or almost
any sort of elemental excitement just
to break the monOtony. He reports
fruit and all ether crops except hops,
short, but consoles himself with the
fact that fruit brings a good price,
and that hops have gone up from sc to
4Oc per pound with booming crop.
Dick thinks he can continue to be
happy in the absence of rain and good
crops, but in order to feel that his
peace is like the flowing of placid

this assurance that the old residents
of River Falls do not deteriorate on

is eminently pleasing to Us.

1t is a great pity that with an I'M
limited quantity of clay that fashions,
burns and colors into merchantable
brick, found in the immediate vicinity
of our city. that circumstances have
not yet combined to open brick yard
agreeable to numerous plans that have
been discussed during the past year.
Cannot capitalists, brick makers and
present owners of the clay beds agree
upon a lease or sale that shall add this
brick industry to our wealth and con-
yenience!

CTRE F0R pILES-

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms OF indi.
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach. etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm. is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure. Price
