EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.

The average man cannot afford to en-
plOy a physician for every slight ailment
or injury that may occur in his family.
nor can he afford to neglect them, as so
slight an injury as the scratch Of a pin
has been known to cause the loss of a
limb. Hence every man must from
necessity be his own doctor for this class
Of ailments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have
been in the market for many years and
enjoy good reputation.

HE'S A GOOD REPUBLICAN.

1t appears to be settled that Senator
Julius Caeser Burrows of Michigan,
will be the temporary chairman of
the republican national convention to
be held June 10th next at Chicago
and will sound the keynote for the
campaign. Senator Burrows is a
republican, all wool and yard wide,
and will not give out any uncertain
sound. He Is one of the kind who
believes that his party can do no
wrong and is everlastingly right and
that policies have made the
country rich, and glorious. He is one
of the kind the conservatives can tie
to and not be disappointed.

Mr.. GEORGE MEYER.
Struck on Head BY JOiSt While
Erecting New Bdrn-WdS to
Have Bdrn-RdiSing Tomorrow
Father of AlphonSO Meyer of this
City.

A very sad and unexpected death
occurred yesterday shortly after the
noon hour, when Mr.. George Meyer.

the erection of barn on his farm and
had so far progressed that he was to

Meyer, who ordered 1t lifted in order
that the end of the same might be
chiseled to make more perfect fit. In
lifting the same it fell, striking Mr..
Meyer on the head, killing him in
stantly.
The victim Of the accident would
have been sixty-six years of age On
the 18th of July. He was man well
and favorably, known in the COM
munity in which he lived and his IN
expected death has caused a feeling
OF deep sorrow among all who enjoyed
his acquaintance. Mr. Meyer was
native of Germany, coming to
America at the age of eight years
leaving the old home scenes with his
parents. His father passed away
while on the ocean voyage, leaving
the young son alone with his mother,

This city was visited yesterday by
a gentleman who first came to Wa
tertOwn III 1855, when it was a mere
hamlet upon the frontier, and opened
an office as 4 civil engineer and after
remaining a few months and finding
that there was no need of civil
engineer here, he went to Beaver
Dam near which city he purchased
farm. Reference is made to G. @.
Genung, now a resident IF Evansville,
Ind. In conversation with a repre-
sentative of The Leader at the New
Commercial Hotel, where he was
staying, Mr.. Genung gave reminis-
Genes Of the long past that were in
terestlng IN the extreme and showed
how this section Of the state had
forged to the front in the inhanced
value of realities and prosperity
After residing on the farm he pur-
chased in Dodge county tor a short
time, he sold the same at $40, per
acre and learned upon his visit to the
old farm Wednesday that it was worth
$135, per acre and the owner was not
anxious to sell it even at that price
After selling his farm he returned to
this city and entered the service of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway company, known as the Wa
tertown and Baraboo Valley railway
company as civil engineer and built
the road from Columbus, which was
then it's terminus to Baraboo. The
country late in the year of 1857
rendered it impossible to go on with
the work. The obtaining of funds
was out of the question and the money
strlngency was so great that thousands
of men were unable to obtain work,
and if they did there was no money IN
circulation with which to paysthem,
and there was much suffering especial
| ly among those who hal come to this
| locality to make homes for them
selves and families. He returned
again to Watertown and finding that
it would be long time-if ever, that
and times would return, and there
beirg nothing in his line to do. he
departed in 1859 for Evansville, Ind. :,
which place has since been his home.
In the year of 1869 at the breaking
out of the civil war. being influenced
| hu tho Of IL
animated thousands uponthousands o f
young men, he enlisted IN the Forty
second regiment of Indiana infantry
volunteers and served during the
sanguinary struggle and made a
enviable record. At the termination
of the war he returned to his home
at Evansville and took up railroading
in which he has si ce been engaged
and been extremely successful, last
year his salary being increased over
that he had ever received, although he
is Is years of age and a living ref
utation of the OsIer nonsense. Dur
ing Mr.. Genung stay in the city, he
made inquiry relative to many of the
pioneers whom be knew when he
resided, but as the invariable anwser
was, Dead" he began to realize
that an half century had passed and
that the men and women of middle
lite at the time he resided here, now
sleep in the "silent city of the
dead. - Mr.. Genung was a very
plea SAINT gentleman to inset and an
interesting talker, who gave The
Leader reporte, pleasant half huur.
