Quite little excitement took place
at Dick Scheibe'S club rooms last Sun
day evening. The occasion was a
boxing bout between H. Thoms of
Nekoosa and VIM. Craney of Biron.
1t was to have been a 20 rounds con-
test but Thoms decided after 3 rounds
of fast fighting to draw the contest to
| a close. He did so bv reaching
Craney's 'smeller' with his powerful
right. Craney went down and after
several vain attempts to rise he was
counted out by referee Scheibe. Quite
large crowd witnessed the exhibition
and cheered loudly when the fight was
awarded to one from their own burg.
Thoms has put up a forfeit of So 90
to meet any man in the village Of his
size or smaller. Ed. TYLER acted as
time keeper.
1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
| IN. Y. dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor TO come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
| finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return.
He also bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re-
turned, saying that the doctor need
not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist. Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has
constant demand for it from that part
of the country. For sale by F. L.

summer and who has been working at

opportunity to become acquainted

with the accommodations the railroads

Mrs. ChaS. Brooks entertained a
company of lady friends Tuesday after
