Corner of High and Chestnut Streets. q.
DURING the present week the peo-
pie of this city and vicinity will be
furnished samples of Rahr's Cara
mel Malt Coffee, which has been so
successfully introduced in many cities
Of Wisconsin. The coffee, as its
name implies, is manufactured from
malt. During the process, which is
patented, the malt is caramelized,
and product il obtained closely
resembling coffee in taste, but
which retains all the nourishing and
health-giying qualities Of malt ex.
tract The use of malt coffee
diminishos the injurious effects of
caffein and makes it possible for all
to enjoy a delicious and exhilarating
beverage. For nervously inclined
persons and children the infusion
made rom the pure caramel malt
coffee has no superior.
When the great harm that the
free use Of coffee causes ID con
sidered, it must be admitted that
the manufacturers Of the caramel
malt coffee deserve the applause Of
everyone. They have discovered a
valuable thing for themselves but
is no less valuable for humanity. In
short time every family in this
vicinity will be using it The ~
borer will drink it because it is
cheap and good, and the brain
worker because it exhilarates with
out weakening and undermining
the system.
If you want to test the exhila-
ratlng ana llle.glVlng quantities OF
pure malt extract try Rahr's Car
amel Malt Coffee according TO di-
rection. You will notice its re-
markably heaIth.giying and bene-
fciar effects after using it only
short time, and will prefer it to the
finest Mocha or Java coffee. In
Rahr's Caramel Malt Coffee we
have malt in its purost, most com
patable and assimable form. We
predict a great and well.deserVed
success for the coffee
OUR carpets are handsomer than
ever. Stock large.

Mayor jerks, of Dodgeyille, with

that circumstances over which we

make au excellent Mayor, just like
a Republican would, but be persists
always in playing with the Demo
crat boys, aud we dare not force
him to leave his old companions for
fear he would be lonesome. We
hope the Journal will not suffer any
from the mistake, and that it will
not cause the Democrats to be
jealous Of Mr.. jerks for being re-
ported as occupying a safer position
IN politics than they do.

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Captain j. Il. Baylor VIII Make Some
Valuable Recommendations.

Captain J. b. Baylor, of the Coast Sur
vey and Geodedc Bureau. in Washing
ton who has been detailed by the FEEDER
al government to make a survey Of the
natural oyster beds I'm the waters Of Vir-
ginia, has almost completed his report
TO the Governor. Captain BAYLOR has been
kept busy in making this survey during
the past two months. while, during the
winter months. he has been engaged i'm
drawing up the necessary charts and
maps. The work is about twO-thirds com
plete and will be finished next summer.
Captain Baylor Is well pleased with the
result already achieved and when I called
on him last evening he stated that the
area of natural oyster-beds would cover
10000 acres. Hereafter. the planters will
no longer be at liberty TO pull up their
stakes and remove them so as to add 10
their property and changes I'm the bounda-
rias can only be made after regular
trials by juIies The natural oyster-beds
Will be set aside for the use Of the
t0nguemen, and yet there will be enough
ground left over for the planting Of oys-
ters.
Already the oyster industry gives
handsome revenue 10 the State. which
will be still more increased I'm the future.
The report OF Captain Baylor VIII con-
tain much valuable information and
suggestions, which will be submitted
to the Legislature by the Governor. In
all probability, a bin will be introduced
providing for a special oyster department,
with its headquarters in the Underwater
district, the members Of the Board OF
the Chesapeake and its Tributaries be-
ing unable to give the subject the neces-
sary time.
There will also be some suggestions as
to changing the provisions Of the existing
laws. Among the proposed amendments
will be one looking towards an alteration
In the collection Of the taxes. At present
a tax Is collected for the tonnage of the
vessels used in gathering in the oysters
while It IS thought to be more desirable
10 collect a certain amount per hundred
bushels of oysters actually dredged.
