THE town of Shullsburg is in a
rather peculiar position. Seven
bridges were recently swept away
by the floods. The town board has
spent all the money in the treasury
in making temporary repairs, and
now they can find no way to secure
money for the rebuilding of the
bridges.
The ice man is just beginning to
feel happy for the season Of 1892.
The weather has been SO tickle that
his patrons, in their attempts to
economize, have been worrying him
immensely with changes from every
day delivery to delivery on alter
nate days. This naturally made tie
keeping of ice accounts a taxing
job
Ar the opera house Monday even
ing there will be given piano and
sony recitals by William and Helen
Bayse. These entertainments are
very highly complimented by ex.
changes. Mr.. Bayse displays mag
netic qualities in his playing, and
Miss Bayse possesses a well cult

THERE are some young men who
smoke from ten to twenty cigarettes
day who early in the morning,
before they commence smoking,
look as though they had some brain

of the general election (and not
without ridiculous mistakes) with
the hope of preventing the taking
of the new apportionment before
the supreme court, is a self-con-
demnation of the second gerry
mander.
In the sermon preached by Rev.
5. r. Chubb last Sabbath night he
made some remarks about the state
Of the health Of this city, which
were both pertinent and exactly
correct. He used some withering
language about those people in and
from the city who persistently and
wickedly circulate the stories which
have been floating around regard

on lying, some folks in our county
would stand an excellent chance Of
carrying off the prizes, said Mr.
