.l9t!1R's IN SESSION.
A Meeting of Interest and Benefit to
Those who were Present.

The semi-annual meeting of the North
western Medical Association met In this
city Tuesday the 10th inst. and held
four distinct sessions. About thirty
physicians from all points in northern
Wisconsin were present to partake in
the doings of the convention. Quite a
number of peculiar cases were examin-
ed by the physicians, who were brought
there to have opinions passed on their
diseases.
Papers were read by the following
named physicians after which their
merits were discussed pro and con.
Dr. Russell, of Oshkosh; Dr. Dawley, of
Royalton; DR.. Ermine, of Chicago; DR..
Simmonson, of Pittsville; and DR.. Rob
inson.
Various medical questions of interest
to the profession were discussed in
which most of the physicians took part.
This session was accounted one of the
best meetings yet held by the associa-
ton. The next meeting will be held in
Stevens Point in October next.

Rev. Steele occupied the Cong1 and
NJ. E. Church pulpits last Sabbath
morning and evening and preached to
large audiences. His sermon in the
morning was largely on nations and
the Importance of their being Christian
nations. The celebration of our ma
tons independence probably prompted
the Reverend to speak on this subject.
How ever it was ably handled. In the
evening he spoke from these words:
"Come and let us reason together; saith
the Lord" The practical and convinc-
ing way he presented the thoughts that
this text might suggest; was remarkable.
His sermons were greatly appreciated
by those who heard them.

STATE LAWS, WEEDS, Etc.
$500 REWARD.

The above reward will be paid
to anyone who will find man
who possesses more State Law
than A. ]. Landon Esq, street
commissioner, weed seeker, etc.
Napoleon the great owed his
greatness to the great multitude Of
rioters in Paris, and our Mr.. Ian
don will go down into posterity on
account of the great quantity Of
bad weeds in Grand Rapids. Mr..
Landon is trying to enforce State
Laws, for some time past he has
made an earnest study Of the state
laws. He reads nothing but the
state laws and Au Bon Marche
advertisement in the REPORTER to
see if there is not something which
is not in accordance with the state
laws. Oh! he is watcher.
If the Au Bon Marche' stock Of
goods is taxed 50 per cent. more
than its real value. TIE state law
is there and also Mr.. Landon, and
the old Frcnchman must pay the
heavy and unjust tax without muir
muir. Mr.. Landon thinks he has
more state laws in his little finger
than all the Williams's, the Webb's,
the Gaynor's, the Cochran's, the
Gardner's have got.
Mr.. Landon is not an ordinary
orator he must be seen, 70 appre-
ciate his real value in this capacity

prietor Of the "Au Bon Marche"

Demosthenes of old, his right hand
raised towards our street lamps,
words flowing:
We are the only real cash store
and in patronizing US you work
for your interest. We sell for cash
We sell only good goods.
Remember that when you buy
from us you save 20 per cent.
Remember that when you buy
on credit your loss is 70 per cent.

bran, oats, corn meal. Come and

Horse Racing.

Mr.. Cotey was seen by our reporter
in relations to the above, and few re-
marks elected from him on the subject.
lie said that he had not heretofore
entertained the idea for q single mo-
ment Of entering Gold Dust in race
with any such small fry as habitually
use the Grand Rapids track. His horse
was more at home on track IN Mime
apolis, or ST. Paul or Milwaukee, where
he las record and where he had a
chance to have company at least half
way around the course. He is now pre-
pairing to take his horse TO Minneapolis
ior training, for the fall races there,
acknowledged to be among the best in
the country. Of course he feels little
deicacy about entering Gold Dust, a
thoroughbred, in a race with a common
scrub, where there is neither money or
homer to win; but if Mr.. Turner means
business and will put up $500, a sum
worth the While to bother with, he will
try to accommodate him in September,
when the busy season is over. There
is probably SO little work for Andrew
jackson that he would be in trim for a
race almost any time. With Gold Dust
it is different; he has all the work he
can attend to for the season. But prob
ably Mr.. Turner only intended the
challenge for little game of bluff. If
so, it won't bluff worth cent. Money
talks in this section. 1t looks as if the
challenge receiving the wide publicity
it Las, was only intended as a disparge-
ment Of the merits Of Gold Dust. Sure
ly Turner knows the address of GA. B.
Gotey, of Pittsyille.' If he meant busi
ness why couldn't he just as well drop
ped line TO the address, stating his
desire for race. 1t would have been
sufficiently early to give notice to the
pabhc after the details had been arran-
ged However this has nothing to do
with the case in hand. If Turner can
raise the $500, Mr.. Cotey will be only
10 happy 10 arrange a race between the
celebrated Gold Dnst and Andrew
jackson; not for the honor of winning
the race, but for the money there is in
ii. If Grand Rapids people would
profit by the lessons of the past, they
had better not monkey with Pittsville,
on horse races, ball games, bridge mat
ters, etc.-Plttsyille Independent.
Messrs. Streyell & Webster, of Waco
ma, Iowa, through Mr.. R. w. Lyon,
accept Mr.. A. 3. Cotey's challenge of
$500 fora race between Gold Dust and
Andrew Jackson, conditioned that Mr.
Cotey will put up 500 forfeit money
now, the race to take place in this city
on the Sth day of September next. If
money talks in Pittsyille that is what
Grand Rapids likes to see. Put up your
money III the First National Bank
and the race will surely come off as far
rs Andrew jackson is concerned.

There is no Straddle in this Plank.

The following is the part of the Re-
publican platform relating to the Tariff
and Internal Revenue:
We are uncompromisingly in favor of
the American system of Protection: We
protest against its destruction as pro-
posed by the President and his party.
They serve the interests of Europe; we
viii support the interests of America.
We accept the issue and confidently ap
peal to the people for their judgment.
The Protective system must be main
tanned. It's abandonment has always
been followed by general disaster to all
intesests, except those of the usurer and
the sheriff. We denounce the Mills bill
as destructive to the general business,
the labor and the farming Interests of
the country, and we heartily endorse
the consistent and patriotic action Of
the Republican representatives in Con-
gress in opposing its passage.
We condemn the proposition of the
Democratic party to place wool on the
II 1SC AAo9S StIANA 1Aicl0b I1l<sG t4iS OuLiC0
thereon shall be adjusted and main
tanned so as to furnish full and adequate
protection to that industry.
The Republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national reven-
ue by repeating the taxes upon tobacco,
which are an annoyance and burden to
agriculture, and the tax upon the spirits
used in the arts and for mechenical
purposes; and by such revision of the
tariff laws as will tend to check imports
of such articles as are produced by our
people, the production of which gives
employment to our labor and release
from import duties those articles of for
eign production Except luxuries) the
like of which cannot be produced at
home. If there shall still remain
larger revenue than is requisite for the
wants of the Government, we favor the
entire repeal of the internal taxes rath-
er than the surrender Of any part of
our Protective system, at the joint
behest of the Whiskey Ring and the
agents Of foreign manufacturers.

Monona Lake Assembly.

We have received the announcement
of the ninth annual encampment of this
well established Wisconsin institution.
A glance at the program reveals the
usual variety of schools, lectures and
musical entertainments. Among the
lecturers we observe the name of the
Rev. Sam p. Jones. This is, we believe
the first appearance of Mr.. Jones in
Wisconsin. He speaks twice, and will
no doubt draw an immence audience.
We are also glad to note revival of the
chorus class, under the leadership of
DIR. IL. r. Palmer, OF New York, gen
tlemen standing at the head of his
profession in chorus work. We have
not space to enumerate the great mum
Der of good things offered, but would
advise all who have not seen the pro
gram, to send to the Secretary, JAS. T.
