Diseases of the Chest,

Throat, Liver, Heart and Blood
and their accompanying symptoms
DR.. f. b. Brewer has made it bust
ness of life time to investigate and
study. He has proved that these
diseases, even in the stages consid-
cred beyond the ordinary method Of
treatment, can by a rational and
mild means, be retarded, arrested or
permanently cured. Few physicians
have the opportunity that DR.. Brew
er has had for investigating and ex-
aiming the various forms of this
class of diseases. The fact of his
practice being constantly on the in
crease goes to prove efficiency Of his
treatment. His reputation and sue
cess becoming so extended, the num-
Der Of years that he has enjoyed it
his devotion to the pursuits and
studies of his profession, Is one of
the strongest and most competent
testimonials that can be given him.
DR.. Brewers next visit will be at
the u. s. Hotel in this city Wednes-
day, Oct. 18th,

Speaking OF the endless chain
the Eldorado (kan.) Republican
says: avery farmer boy wants to
be school teacher, every school
teacher hopes to be an editor, every
editor would like to be banker,
every banker would like to be a trust
magnate, and every trust magnate
hopes some day to own farm and
have chickens and cows and pigs aud
horses to look after. We end where
we begin" A good ending, but the
chain is a tritle long. The wise farm
er's boy in the majority of cases stays
where he begins.
considering the season of tue
year and the great amount of money
invested in automobiles, it is re-
markable how we'll the price on
horses keeps up. Chicago advices
this week to buyers in this city are !:
Market extra strong on all grades
of good horses, aud from present APP
pearances there is no doubt but that
il will continue. For anything in
the line OF a superior horse you need
not be afraid to pay good price as
such are in demand. The palmer

discount aud should be bought very

The Dodgeville Commercial club
is new organization with every
prominent citizen member. The
object of the club is to further the
business interests of that city. At
its meeting last week the subject of
better railroad service was taken up
What the club is after is an oppor-
tunity for people to get to Dodge
vile by train, have ample time to
transact business, and return home
the same day. Railroad service of
that kind for Mineral Point would
prove a grand thing for our mer-
chants and also for purchasers, as in
this market are the largest and best
stocks of goods to be found in south :
western Wisconsin.

There is not that conflicting az,

sons count the former as the bane of

sible, and the latter an agreeable
friend, whose presence is always to be
courted.
On the contrary, however, they are
both elements OF human life intended
to work in harmony with each other,
and thus to produce a beneficial effect
upon us that neither one could effect
alone. Every difficulty rightly treated

Ross was severely punished

HER DREADFUL DAY.

When Tom came up last night he
was told by an awe1 maid that Miss
Polly was in the den. He strobe to.
ward the back of the hall with a
queer feeling about his heart; it's d.
rect cause being the manner of that
half-frightened maid. What was the
matter with Polly?
He entered a room whose lowered
light spelled headache-and possibly
tears. He beheld Polly buried in a
nest of pillows, with a tiny wad of
damp linen in the one hand. On the
floor beside the couch lay a patheti-
cally empty fudge box.
AS he took speculative hold of her
shoulder Polly sat up suddenly and
surveyed him sadly. She was not
crying, but even in the dim light Tom
could plainly see that she had been
weeping to excess.
who's dead, Polly?" he asked, in
a tone of deep sympathy.
Nobody, Tommy" she replied, "but
all day long I've been wishing | was.
whats the matter?" Tom asked
He swept about forty pillows to the
floor and sat down beside her who
been cutting UP rough or giving you
the worst of it?"
mot a single thing has happened al
all" said Polly, still seriously. "But
