A Little Girls Experience in a
Lighthouse.

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are
keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a
daughter, four years old. Last April
she was taken down with Measles,
followed with a dreadful Cough and
turning into Fever. Doctors at home
and at Detroit treated her, but in vain,
she grew worse rapidly, until she was
mere "handful of bones" Then she
tried DR.. Kings New Discovery and
after the use of two and half bottles,
was completely cured. They say DIR.
Kings New Discovery is worth its
weight in gold, yet you may get trial

The following, clipped from the Bur-
lington Junction, (Mo.,) Post, contains
information of no little value to persons
troubled with indigestion.
For years the Editor of the Post has been sub
ject to cramp collie or fits of indigestion, that
prostrated him for several hours and untitled
him for business for two or three days afterward.
About year ago we called on s. J. Butcher,
druggist, and asked for something to ward off
an attack that was already making life hideous.
Mr. Butcher handed us bottle of Chamberlains
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy. We took
the medicine according to directions and not
only found relief on that occasion, but have
several times since tried its virtues and found
relief in every instance. We take this method
of acknowledging the benefits derived and rec
ommending the cure to all Others subject to in
digestion. For sale by w. l. Wood.

In another column of this paper will
be found an advertisement of a medi-
cine known as Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, for sale
by druggist W. L. Wood, of this place.
In almost every neighborhood through
out the west, there are some one OF
more persons, whose lives have been
saved by this remedy. 1t IS natural for
such persons to take especial pleasure
in recommending the remedy to others.
The praise that follows its introduction
and use makes it immensely popular.
While it is intended especially for collie,
cholera morbus, dysentery and diar-
rhea, it is also claimed to cure chronic
diarrhea. If such be the case, it is
certainly "Godsend" to many a poor
mortal

Excursion to Lake Emily.
About 500 People from tile Tain
Cities Eyoy a day at this
Gr0z0zng Resort.

According to postponement, early on
Thursday morning found many of our
citizens, from the little children just
able to walk to the oldest inhabitant,
astir and making preparations to attend
the much talked of Congregational Sun
day School picnic, and have gala day
of it. By six o'clock people were seen
coming from all directions in carriages,
| 'busses and on foot, loaded down with
| huge lunch baskets and overfowing ice
cream freezers, hammocks, camp chairs,
| fishing tackle, and everything condu-
Give to a good time on such an occasion,
all having one central point in view
the Green Bay depot. Long before the
time of departure the platform and
waiting rooms of this depot were crowd
ed to their utmost, and great rush was
made for the train when it pnlled into
the depot after having backed over to
| Centralia to get part of its load at the
platform on that side. The seven coaches
were all filled and many were obliged
to stand, but they were going to the
picnic so no one complained. On the
way out Mr.. F. J. Wood passed through
the cars and counted those on board
and found there was about 500.
At the Lake the coaches were left on
the side-track and the crowd immedi-
ately disbursed and scramble to secure
boats was next on hand. These were
at premium, there being only about
25 that were obtainable, and the owners
would let them out only by the hour,
nevertheless two or three succeeded in
getting boats for the day. The ham
mocks were stretched, lunches slowed
away until they would be needed and
everyone proceeded to have agood time
according to his or her own inclinations
and big time they all had to be sure
1t was most beautiful day and nothing
occurred to mar the pleasures of the
picnicers until about four O'Clock in the
afternoon when heavy shower came
up and drove them into the coaches
and cottages with exclamations of ooh
Shaw" "What a shame" etc. But this
lasted only a short time. The sun came
out and soon all went as merry as be-
fore until 7:45, when the home bound
train appeared and all unWillingly
boarded it and were quickly carried
back to the cities, much different and
quieter crowd than that which left in the
morning.
The privileges of the day were made
possible by Mr.. F. J. Wood, superin-
tendent of the Congregational Church
Sabbath School, who took it upon him
self to charter the train and become re-
sponsible for the expense of it. His
kindness and generosity was evident Oh
every hand, and the large crowd who
partook Of the days festivities felt
thankful for the part he took in making
it possible for them all to have a good
| time.
The surplus receipts will be used to-
wards increasing the number Of books
in the S. S. Library.

CITY BREWERY BURNED,
Il Loss Of $4,000. TIE Work q

EC.rrEn vTTE-ETIE

Thursday night little after y O'Clock
cling the burning of Jacob Lutz & Bro.
brewery, residence, and out buildings.
Shortly after the fire was discovered
the building was enveloped by the
flames. The fire company responded
as soon as possible, after several
unavoidable delays, and subdued the
flames before the rear part of the
residence was destroyed, saving the
barns and other out buildings. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, insured for
$500.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is supposed to be the work Of an
incendiary The,e had been no fire in
the brewery after eight clock Thursday
morning and no fire IN the other parts
of the building except the kitchen stove
fire. The fire when first discovered
was seen issuing from the east end or
what was known as the ice house. The
fire spread rapidly and when the
engine reached the grounds half of the
brewery proper was laid low.
Besides the loss of building,
machinery, &C., there were hundreds
of barrels of beer spoiled; 1000 bushels
of malt destroyed and 500 bushels OF
raw barley; besides new beer kegs that
had never been used and considerable
personal property that was not saved
Nearly all the household effects were
saved.
AS soon as the loss is adjusted we are
glad to announce that Lutz Bros. viii
rebuild better than before and this
time they will build of brick and make
it as near fire proof as possible. The
energy of this firm is not lost by the
use of the fire brand.

An observing exchange says that
those in search of some kind of enjoy
ment should take notice that the newest
craze is progressive hammock party.
In some places progressive pedro is in
the dark and progressive euchre is
nowhere. The game can be enjoyed
anywhere, provided, always, there are
plenty of shaded localities for the
hammocks so that the fair occupants
shall in no case be moon struck. When
the hostess strikes the gong every
young man must march to the next
hammock. Prizes are awarded the
most entertaining conversationaist of
either sex. The young ladies vote for
the gentlemen and vice versa. Any
young man found with a long hair on
his shoulder or complexion powder on
his coat is subject to heavy fine.

been severely affected by the continued
drouth. Berries are fair crop; small
fruits about an average, and other fruits
