The readersof this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure IN all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
os the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollors for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list OF testimonials.

Twenty Cents per Head.

This week few chicken hawks and
an owl were delivered to J. R. Chap
man, treasurer Of the Twin City Sport
mans club, and he paid a reward of
20 cents per head upon them in accord
ance with the resolution recently passed
by the above organization. The Sports
mans club has declared itself q vigi-
lance committee against illegal fishing
and hunting, and also has ,sn eye to the
protection Of young chickens and game
IN every other way possible. Hence
they offer a bounty of 90 cents for
chicken hawks, pigeon hawks and owls
during the month Of June, and 10 cents
each the remainder of the year. Bring
in the hawks, there is grave in town
big enough for lots more of them.
To farmers who haven't time to hunt
hawks, suggestion is offered by an
eastern sporting magazine. 1t is this:
Take few steel traps and set them
around on top Of fence posts and stubs
of trees where the hawks frequently
light. Secure the trap in position by
staple and the birds will 'put their foot
in it" readily enough. They light on
the trap just the same as if it was the
top of the fence post, and there you
have 'em. This plan has been gener-
ally used in the east and our magazine
assures US it has met with great sue
cess.

Death of Miss EIma 6. Bacon.

From a copy of the Wauconda Leader,
published in Wauconda, Illinois, we
take the following account of Miss Elma
G. Bacon, who formerly resided in this
city with her parents:
Died at the home of her father, Tues
day, June l, 1897, Miss Elma G. Bacon,
in the thirty-ffth year of her life.
Elma was the eldest Of the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. Bacon and was born
March y, 1868, at Grand Rapids, Wis
cOnsin. Her parents came to their pres
ent home when she was five years old
and have resided there since that time.
Though an invalid for many years
Elma bore patiently her affection and
was an efficient assistant to mother and
father, both in the performance of the
household and farm duties. On Monday
last she was taken quite i'll and after
but "a days suffering she passed to the
better life. AS SUCH Rev. Straub re-
ferred to it in the very appropriate re-
marks addressed to the large concourse
of friends who came to pay the last
tribute to the deceased, and only as such
We think Of the life He chooses to con-
tinue and advance us from an existence
which even to the most successful hui
man being can hardly be satisfactory
save as he accepts it as :part Of the
Creators plan to be worked to compile
ton in higher state Of existence. AS
tenderest plants require our tenderest
care, so weak ones bind themselves to
us most firmly by tendrils of love, and
Eima's loss will be keenly felt by all
the family, as affiiction calls forth pity.
Mr.. Bacon's family has the sympathy
of the entire community.

June Espousal,

The gentle month of June with lis
soft waiting cupid breezes and coaxing
matrimonial airs has brought about an
other happy union. Many seats in the
Roman Catholic church of this citv
were filled with guests last Thursday
morning at nIne O'Clock, who assembled
to witness the marriage of Miss Clara
H. Grignon, oldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Grignon, to \. +. Roach of
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. A pretty SER
vice was conducted by Rev. Chas. Bey-
erie, the wedding pair being attended
by John Grignon, ofViroqua, as grooms-
man and Miss Lydia Okrneg, of Biron,
as bridesmaid. After the formal con-
tract had been made and the nuptial
knot was solemnly tied, the wedding
party enjoyed a carriage drive around
our cities, returning at noon 10 the
home Of the brides parents where a
sumptuous dinner was served, followed
by a reception.
In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs Roach
departed on the eastbound Green Bay
& Western passenger for their future
home at the 500. They stopped at
Green Bay one day, then continued the
trip by boat up the lakes. They spent
a few days at the charming little sum-
mer spot-Mackinac Island-and will
finish the wedding outing by ride up
st. Mary's river. The newly married
will commence housekeeping upon ar
rival at Sault Ste. Marie.
Miss Grignon has lived in Grand Rap
ids several years and was a popular
young lady in social circles in which
she was known. The best wishes
of many friends follow her in the new
relations of that Michigan home. Mr..
Roach is prominent young jeweler at
his home city. He has visited here a
few times and by his pleasant manners
left the impression with all acquaint-
ances of an excellent fellow. May
their life be filled with gladness, flooded
with a sunny stream; never trace of
cloud or sadness come to mar its happy
CLEAN.

Piano Recital.

Miss Katherine Rood of Stevens
Point, who has had a class of pupils in
the twin cities the past year, closes her
years work with a recital at the home
of Mrs. John DAILY, today. Last Thurs
day she gave a rehearsal at the home of
Mrs. Nels Johnson, Centralia, in which
her primary scholars had an opportun-
ity to display the progress they had
made during the year, and today her
more advanced pupils will display their
advancement in a recital. We take
pleasure IN noting the fact that her pu-
pills and their parents are delighted
with the progress they have made un-
der Miss Rood's instruction, and they
admire her as a lady Of accomplish
ments and an instructor upon the piano
who has no superior in Wisconsin. She
leaves with the best wishes of pupils,
parents and friends who have formed
her acquaintance during her stay among
us, with hope that she may be able to
return in the fall.

Spafford barn, near Harry Compton's

this to say on the subject of rheuma-
tism: II take pleasure in recommend
ing Chamberlain Pain Balm for rheu-
matism, as I know from personal expe-
rience that it will do all that is claimed
for it. A year ago this spring my brother
was laid up in bed with infammatory
rheumatism and suffered intensely.
The first application of Chamberlain 5
Pain Balm eased the pain and the use
of one bottle completely cured him.

Large Rhubarb.

W. c. Baldwin, Centralla, brought
this office a sample of rhubarb that is
growing in his garden which we believe
is hard to beat. The leaf we measured
was 323 inches wide while the length
was 252 inches. The stalk or stem was
very large and juicy. If there is any
reader who can furnish us a sample
larger than the above we would be glad
to note the fact.
