Nearly two years ago Bangor was selected as
the county seat Of Walworth county at an cleo
Gunderson of Pierre, procured from Judge Smith
at Mitchell judgment by alleged default. Citt
zens Of Selby then went to Bangor, demolished
the courthouse and removed the records to thei,
town. At the hearing. before Judge Smith the
order was vacated on showing Of facts, and
this decision was affirmed by the supreme
court. Nothing daunted. Selby then undertook
to annex a strip of land half a mile wide and
four and a half miles long, including the town Of
Bangor, the object being to keep the county
seat and records. This move was blocked how
ever, by H. B. Foster Of Maine, owner Of the
Bangor TOWNSHIP, who applied thru his attorney
Taubman, Williamson & Herreid Of this city
for an injunction to restrain Selby from carry
ing out its annexation plan. The order was
granted, and this being Selby's last hope, there
was nothing left to do but to return the records
Bangor built new courthouse and is now the
recognized county seat. altho it is mere
village.
And now comes the aftermath. The county
| commissioners are determined that the person.
guilty of destroying the old courthouse shall
pay for their wanton destruction Of the build
ing. The case is expected to be heard II
October and the question involved will require
the blowing of new ground and possibly estah
fishing new precedents 80 .'.~ J.

Resolved to Live
Without Medicine

From correspondent at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, comes an interesting account Of
an experience Of Mr.. Charles s. Brown,
an aged citizen Of Lake Mills, small
town near that place.
Mr.. Brown has been in i'll health for
some years in consequence Of severe
case Of catarrh in the head and stom-
ach. He had doctored for many
months without success and a short
time ago announced his intention to
stop using medicines altogether and
live as long as he could without them.
This he did, but finding his condition
growing steadily worse became alarmed.
About this time L. T.. Cooper and his
medicines came into prominence in this
portion of the country and Mr.. Brown
read of the remarkable results they
were accomplishing. The balance of
the story is best told in his own words,
which are quoted in part as follows:
- had suffered from headaches, indi-
gestion; catarrhal deafness, and when
heard Of the wonderful work that
sick could not resist trying once more
1 made inquiries and found that the
preparations could be obtained at a To-
cal drug store and purchased q small
quantity of them. I had little faith ]
admit, and you can imagine my sur
prise and delight when, after using
them about one week, I actually found
myself getting better. Gradually my
condition improved and 7 gained IN il
strength and flesh. Ny hearing i'm
proved and / noticed that my headaches
were less frequent. and not so violent
Now, after several weeks treatment i
eat heartily, sleep well and have none
Of my, former symptoms. T feel conf.
dent that / can now: stick to my reso-
luton to live without taking any more
incidence So = !
The success Of these preparations
Cooper g New Discovery and Cooper :
Quick Relief is surprising, and inquiry
at Voegeli Bros drug store, where
they are sold in Minneapolis, brought
forth the information that immense
quantities Of them have been sold here
and some remarkable results have been
reported. 80 w.
