Electric Bitters is a medicine suited to
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, and when the liver is
torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and Alternative is felt A proper use
of this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in counter
acting and freeing the system from the
malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion,
Constipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric

This is the time of year when you
think most about the family circle,
about those who are old and must soon
be missing, those who are young and
like to remember their youth; it is a
good time to have taken a picture Of
that family group while it is yet I'M
broken. 1t is the time of year, too,
that you remember the social
courtesies, and recall the friends to
whom you owe some message of good
cheer or token of friendship. You
can do no better than to send good
photo of yourself, such photo as
Kellogg always gives you-an exact
likeness and a work of art. From now
on till New Years kellogg will be
especially busy, but an early call will
get you an appointment and insure
you an excellent picture.

An old time newspaper says: INC
sensible man should, or ever does, get
angry because a man duns him for
his money. \ dun is not an impeach-
ment Of a subscribers integrity but is
simply an out pouring Of publisher
necessities. For instance 1000 men
owe a man from one to ten dollars; lac
has to dun them in order to pay his
expenses. Instead of getting angry
and stopping his paper because the
publisher asks what is due, the sub
scriber should thank the editor for
waiting so patiently, and pay up like
a man."

There is a sentiment here, which is
continually becoming stronger. in

reap no financial advantage or acquire

The Evening Telegram of West
Superior pats the Oshkosh North
western upon the back for taking a
stand against the issuing of free-rail-
road passes to state officers and
members of the legislature. The
Republican County Convention in
Pierce county two years ago took the
same position, but neglecting TO get
the idea copyrighted will be compelled
to allow the Northwestern to receive
all the glory given or rendered 70 it
on this score. An exchange expresses
the opinion that these officials should
be paid enough for their service to
enable them TO pay railroad fare, yet
if any of these distinguished gentle
men have ever failed to draw their
regular mileage from the state while
riding on free passes. and thus in
creasing their own pay, the records &c
not show it. We will right here
hazard the oppinion that when the
free I IS system shall become obsolete
il will be by the refusal of railroads to
grant passes. rather than by legisla-
tive action making their acceptance a
penal offense. The Republican con-
vention which nominated a judge in
this circuit last spring also pledged its
nominee against accepting pass.

At the first indication of diphtheria in

take tin cup and pour into it an
equal quantity of tar and turpentine,
then hold the cup over the fire so as to
fill the room with fumes. The patient
on inhaling the fumes will cough out

liberia will pass off. The fumes of the
tar and turpentine loosen the throat
and thus afford the relief that has

The Presidents message. found on
the inside of this paper, differs some
what from former similar documents
of Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is less opinion
ated and defers more to the judgment
of Congress. This is especially notable
in his comments on affairs in Cuba.
But the tone of the entire document
is moderate. His congratulations on
the peaceful acceptance of the verdict
of the people at the late election
sounds as if he were well pleased to
have a Republican successor.

The governors remarks follow:
THE issue Of the future is already
clearly presented 1t is no longer a
question of whether or not we shall
have free coinage at 16 TO but it is the
broader question of whether or not
the nation is to be tied TO gold
standard and receive spaper currency

the will OF private corporations, or
have for its use a national currency
based upon gold or silver alike, and
controlled by the government, instead
OF by syndicates and combinations.
