MILWAUKEE EXPOSITION.

The Milwaukee Industrial Exposition
which will be opened to the public Sept.
2, gives excellent promise of being SUI
perior in many respects to any former
display of that character yet seen in the
Northwest. Unlike many ofthe so-called
expositions ofthe country which present
the same attractions year after year, the
showing at Milwaukee this year will be
made up very largely of entirely new
features and displays. The manage
ment has been to much trouble and eX
pense to secure such attractions as will
make the Exposition thoroughly educa-
tiOnal and instructive to all classes, as
we'll as pleasing to the eye. Among the
many industrial features will be COM
plete tin shop, manufacturing all kinds
on tin ware; a new machine in opera
ton weaving many-Colored rugs, the
production of which has ever been a
mystery; a binding twIne factory and a
complete brush factory in operation;
new styles pottery making and novel
ty glass workers, and scores Of other in
dustrial features. A large portion of the
space formerly occupied by carriage ex-
hibits will be devoted to industrial
works.
The art gallery will be one of the most
varied and elegant ever put on public
exhibition in this country, and will con-
tain vast variety of choice pictures by
! the best American and foreign artists.
MANY of the most attractive natural
scenes of the world will be accurately
portrayed upon the canvas before the
visitors. In all of the vast collection of
several thousand pictures there will be
few, if any, ever seen there before.
An inspection of the museum III con-
nection with the Exposition will alone
prove worth the trouble and expense OF
a visit to the metropolis of the state,
While it has always been elaborate and
extensive, those familiar with it here
tofore will scarcely recognize It now.
because of the many new specimens OF
the animal kingdom which have been
added during the past year.
A new feature of special interest to
Wisconsin visitors will be found in the
accurate pictures of many of Wisconsin,
choicest stock farms and summer re.
sorts. There will be pictures Of the
dells of the Wisconsin river, and many
of the lakes Of the state to which all de-
light to resort in the fishing season. This
feature will not only please but interes
all, because it illustrates some of the
many features Of the state which are
making Wisconsin famous.

THE FURNITURE FACTORY.
Tie Deal Closed and 1VOrk
.Aheady Begun.

Messrs. J. D. Witter and John DAILY
returned from Chicago last "Wednesday
morning. The object Of their visit there
was to close up the Ceal with Oberbeck
Bros. and secure their early removal to
this city. After a lengthy conference,
all matters were satisfactorily adjusted,
and a memorandum made of the terms
Of the agreement.
By it, the capital stock of the new
company is to be increased to So0.OOO,
one-halfof which, as heretofore, is to be
taken by Oberbeck Bros, and one-halt
by Messrs. J. D. Witter and Daily q
Sampson. By it, also, work is to be begun
Immediately, and pushed with vlgor, SO
that the time for actual commencement
of manufacturing will not be later than
Feb. 1st next, and possibly not later
than Dec. LIST.
Accordingly, on the return Of the
gentlemen, a crew of men were put to
work clearing the grounds and getting
things in shape for business.
The site as selected by the gentlemen
interested at this end of the line, sub
iect. however to the decision of Ober-
beck Bros, is the five acre tract located
in the northeast corner OF the forty
owned by DAILY, Sampson and Wltter
situated about eighty rods north of the
Centralja depot 1t is on beautiful rise
of ground, crowned at the top by hall
dozen majestic pines, which must
soon succomb to the woodsman's ak, as
have their countless comrades. The
nOrtherly corner Of the proposed site Is
at the intersection of the q. B., W. q
St. ?. r r., and the ?. E., G. 4 n. X
r., and will be connected with the c..
NJ. & ST. p r. R., by a spur track eX
tended from It's main line near the de
pot; thus atfording every advantage II
the line of railway shipment.
In this connection it might be added
| that the gentlemen above named have
another five acre tract adjoining thl
one. and possessing all its advantages
which they will gladly deed to any com
panv who will erect similar institution
This statement is made advisedly ant
can be relied upon.
Oberbeck Bros. at present emplo.
about eighty hands at their Chicag
factory. With twice the capital an'
twice as great capacity, is it not proba
bic that their number of employees vii
be doubled?
If this be SO, the population Of Cen
tralia will be nearly doubled in th
next year. Let the good work so on

Cholera infantum has lost its terrors
since the introduction of Chamberlain's S
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy.
When that remedy is used and the
treatment as directed with each bottle
is followed, a cure is certain. Mrs
Fanny Lauderdale, of Rock, Pope Co.,
H., says it cured her baby of cholera
infantum and she thinks saved its life.
A. w. Walter, prominent merchant
at Waltersburg, ILL.,, says it cured his
baby boy of cholera infantum after
several other remedies had failed. The
child was SO low that she seemed almost
beyond the aid of human hands or reach
of any medicine" but Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
cured him. 25 and so cent bottles for
