ldgertOn,

FRIDAY afternoon the farm hand on
the Erick earn place in Pleasant
Springs township was brought to the
Stoughton Surgical hospital for an OPP
GRAFTON, having been manned on.a corn
shredder, one hand being badly crushed.
The common council has voted the
general tax levy. For. general city
purposes S25, 900 was levied as against
$23, 900 last year and to meet the city
share of the street paving planned Tor
next year the further sum ofs 30, OOO
was levied as a special tax, which with
a library tax of $500 makes total OF
$31, OO0-S7, 300 more than for city and
library purposes year ago. BY virtue
of the city's increased valuation, we
shall have to pay larger proportion
of the school tax levied by the district
than under the valuation fixed by the
regular assessment last summer, the
exact amount being S24, 1864, and IN
all the tax roll will carry sum OF
nearly $72, 000-the largest by far ever
raised in our city. The revised valua-
ton City Clerk Currier finds to be
81, 514, SIS, and the rate will therefore
closely approximate .O16 or Sl6 per
thousand valuation. The new assess
ment places valuation Of 50, l3l, 9I0
upon the city's real estate and 81 $780,
800 upon personal property. Assessor
ROLLS valuation as revised by the city
board of review was: Real estate,
So, O93, PIG; personal property, 1884, O7O;
total, $2,977, 286. The reassessment
therefore raises the valuation by lit
tie more than so per cent.
That Stoughton will in the near fu-
ture have new depot and one that
will be a credit to the city is GER
tainty, for during stop-over Mr.. 2.
G. Eldredge of Milwaukee, general
superintendent, announced that the
building operations would be commenc-
ed next spring as soon as the frost was
out of the ground. With Mr.. Eldredge
in his private car were Supt. E. W.
Morrison, of the Prairie du Chen and
Mineral Point divisions, and c. H.
Agner, train dispatcher of the same
two divisions, both of Milwaukee. The
three gentlemen stopped off for few
hours stay to look over the site of the
new station which will be erected on
the northeast side of Main street, OPP
posite the present depot. To make
room for the structure, the water tank
and pump house will be taken away,
and S. A. Chase's coal sheds and the
Roe warehouse will have to be moved
back a short distance.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F.. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

BELGRADE. October 2S.-Usklup,
 Turkeys hope to stay the advance
 of the allies, has been beencaptured.
 and now, the advance of the allied
 armies, has but little to stay their advance over Turkish Territory. The news of the fall of Usklup, has been received by widest demonstra'
 tions of joy and a movement has
 been put on foot to establish the
 United States of the Balkans. Since
 the breaking out of the war with Fur key, the Bulgarians have captured, fifty thousand of the enemy. Monte negrins, fifteen thousand Servian, seven thousand. Fifteen thousand
 Turks have been killed before Adria' nople, where the fighting has been terrible, and mostly at close quarters, where most of the dead and woundtd bear the marks of the bayone'. So closely have the contestants been fighting, that many show powder
 burns. The suffering of the wound ed, is terrible, the engagements be- ing carried on at such close quarters, that it is impossible to care for those who have fallen. The Turks. can
 not hold out much longer. as they
 are cut off from all hope of sue, cor, and are closely invested. and
