anck Appointed.

Ex Clerk Of the Court August Tanck
Of Jefferson, was to-day appointed by
Judge Bennett as deputy clerk of the
circuit court tor jefferson county and
Mr.. Tanck entered upon his duties at
once. Mir. Tanck seems to be the right
man for the place. as is evidenced by
the above action.-Daily Times, Feb
ruary f.
The above statement is a little mis-
leading and perhaps needs some ex-
planation. At the opening of the court,
Clerk J. L. Cook announced to Judge
Bennett that he would be unable to be
present during the term and that the
appointment of an assistant to Deputy
Clerk Brown would be advisable
Judge Bennett replied that such an
arrangement would be satisfactory and
suggested that Mr. Cook name August
Tanck, Jr., as the assistant, which was
done. Messrs Brown and Tanck are
therefore attending to the courts cler
ical work during the present term
Mr.. Tanck is, however, only temper
airy officer, and he has not replaced
Mr.. Brown as the regular deputy, az
has been rumored here. The latter't
competency is well-known fact.

DR.. Turbin's successful practice in
this city, and his having effected cures
of chronic diseases at stage where
other physicians of acknowledged abil-
ity stood powerless. have stamped him
as the master of medicine and surgery.
Medical institutes have risen and
fallen; specialists have come and gone.
others will come and go the same as
those before them, leaving their pa
tients poorer and uncured
DR., Turbin, through the sconfdence
of an appreciatiye people, through the
great demands from the sick and
afflicted for his treatment, and through
his unparalleled success in curing dis,
ease, has built up an immense and per
manent practice, which has substanti-
ally and permanently eSta ablished him
in this city.
In seeking the services of DR. Tur-
bin you place yourself under the treat
ment Of highly educated physician,
a physician whose ambition is to excel
whose life is devoted to the advance
ment of the science of medicine and
the relief of suffering humanity.
He has no single remedy which is
heralded to the world as a remedy for
all ills. His lofty aspirations and
honesty in practice place such modern
impositions back to the days of witch
craft and quackery, where they Justly
belong.
Every case that he undertakes to
cure Is treated scientifically with such
remedies and such means as in his
judgment that particular case requires
in order to effect a speedy and per-
manent cure.
He has no experiments to make, for
he is thoroughly educated and pre-
pared through experience already
gained to accomplish his work in the
field of medicine.
1t is an established fact that
thousands of men to day are gradually
wasting away from the effects OF errors
in youth, and also terrible truth shat

found in nervous debility.
DIR. Turbin has given special atten-

Circuit Court Cases.

The case of Elliott McFarlane VS.. the
town of Sullivan was concluded at JEFF
ferson Friday morning. Action was
brought for $40, 900 damages for injuries
received on an alleged defective high
way. The evidence showed that the
accident occurred April 25, 1885, while
the plaintiff was driving to Rome. At
ter descending steep hill he struck
his horse with whip, which caused it
suddenly to start up. The plaintiff
pulled back on the reins, when one of
them broke, causing the horse to turn
somewhat out of the track and the cart
to strike a large stone, throwing the
plaintiff to the ground and seriously
injuring him. There was no doubt as
to the injuries sustained. but the de-
tense argued that the accident was
caused solely by the breaking of the
reins, for which the town was not
responsible. The argument was upheld
by Judge Bennett, who directed ver-
dict for the defense. The plaintiff is
% years of age and his injuries are so
severe that he is nearly helpless. A
short time ago the toyn offered to pay
him 81 800 if he would settle, but be
refused. The case has been appealed.
Rogers & Rogers appeared for the
plaintiff and Harlow Pease and George
Grimm for the defendant.
Since Friday noon the court has
been busy with the case of F. j. Elver
vs.. John Shannon. The plaintiff last
summer purchased the boot and shoe
stock of w. d. Powell at Fort Atkin-
son, but before he gained possession
the stock was attached by Sheriff
Shannon upon complaint of Mrs. G..
Bicknell, who, it is claimed, had en-
dorsed Powell's notes to large amount
and took this means to secure herself.
The stock was forth with disposed of to
satisfy the attachment. Elver now
seeks redress to the amount of $50, ,O0C
damages, the sum total of the sheriff S
indtmnifying bond. Jeffrles & Fl6eld
of Janesyille, are the plaintiffs counsel
while Rogers & Rogers and L. B. Cas-

NEW SEAT OF LEARNING.
Chance for One Being Located Here
A Religious Institution.


A representative of leading relig-
ious organization of the state has been
in the city this week for the purpose OF
ascertaining the feasibility of locating
an educational institution here. The
matter is still in embryo and we are
notat liberty to enter much into partic-
ulars; it is sufficient to say that if the
school is located in Watertown it will
mean a valuable acquisition to our
city's interests in more ways than one.
The visitor came here to inspect the
old Faith home property in the Fifth
ward, which it is said is adequate for
the purposes in view. Another site the
organization has under consideration
is the old Downer college at Fox Lake.
The scheme is to institute a seat of
learning for the education of both sexes
along missionary lines. A regular ses-
sion would be conducted throughout
the school year, and for the summer
months special summer school is pro-
posed. Glasses mum bering one hundred
students are counted on.
Cannot our city do something to Sc.
cure this school? Now is the time to
act

DON'T LIKE 1T

Il wish you would say to the people
some day that [ don't believe more
than half those who try Postum. the
health coffee, for the first time, get it
right. In my family the first time it
was served the color was thin and the
taste sort of watery without much
character. Come to inquire, the cook
had boiled it about minutes instead
Of 10; so the next morning we tried it
again and had it boiled properly then
1t came on with the rich deep brown
color of fine coffee. [ drink my coffee
with cream and sugar and Postum hit
my taste very favcrablv Now we are
daily users of Postum, the food drink,
and staunch cham pions of it. But if
we had formed an opinion from the
first trial, when the fault was entirely
our 6n, we would have condemned it
and been denied the use of a beverage
we prize most highly and which is help

We have frequently heard expressed
the desire to hear joint debate be-
tween Colonel Robert G. Inger-oll and
Rev. Sam Jones. Both are famously
hard hitters: both are masters of the
art of invective and ridicule- both can
BE- very eloquent. Ingers0ll attacks
the Christian religion with dash and
vigOr, and sam Jones displays the same
qualities when he goes for" those who
are not living according to the ctates
and rules of that religion. If lngersoll
had been preacher he would have
been sort of Sam Jones, and Sam
Jones as an assailaut of Christ auity
would have been sort of Bob Inger-
soil.
