it in Dalager Bros.' store in Austin.
The finder will be rewarded by leav­
ing same there. OWEN SULLIVAN.
O. Slocum has recently received a
very large camera, and is prepared to
take extra large photos. We have seen
samples of this large work in Senator
Wilkins, Rev. Stanley, Miss Gertie Sher­
wood, Jimmie Engle and others, all of
which we pronounce extra good, and far
ahead of oil paintings which cost many
times more than large photos.
—On the 17th inst., Dr. McDonald was

gave immediate relief, and other applica­
tions directed bv him improved the child
rapidly. J. C. JOHNSON JR.Adams, Minn.
—At the camp-fire, Monday eveniag,
the boys had a good time. Rev. Mitchell

pany with army soygs, especially with
the Old Army Bean. Comrade Smith of
Minneapolis,! gave a very interesting
recital of his experience and observa­
tion? in the battle of Chickamauga.
About 80 were in attendance.
The habitual use of pills is a sure
means of untimately undermining health
and laying the foundation for some of
the most distressing cases of chronic mal­
adies. Use Dr. Jones' Red Clover Tonic,
a purely vegetable remedy, which tones
and regulates the system, enriching the
blood. It cures all diseases of the stom­
ach. liver, blood and kidneys. Can be
taken by the most delicate. 80 cents. 2

ful memory, and ever honor the patriotic
services rendered by these comrades in the
hour of their country's direst need. Resolved,

—EDITOR TRANSCRIPT:—I noticed in
last week's issue an article signed *'Vo
ter," wherein my name is mentioned for
the office of Mayor of this city. There­
fore, I take the liberty to inform the good
people of this city that I am not a candi­
date for mayor, nor any other public po­
sition. I have the honor at present to be
the junior member of the city board of
health, which fully satisfies my ambition
for posts of honor. Respectfully,
SEYMOUR JOHNSON.

—There are two forms of chronic rheu­
matism: one in which the joints are swol
len and red without fever, and the appe
tite and digestion good, in the other the
joints are neither red nor swollen, but only
stiff and painful. In either form Sal­
vation Oil may be relied on to effect
cure. It kills pain, Price 25 cents a bot
tie.
—We stepped into the new restaurant
and bakery of R. H. Stockman the other
day. It is situated in the repaired brick
block south of the post-office. The rooms
are new, clean and commodious, and
every thing is pleasantly arranged for a
restaurant. Mr. Burden, the baker, is an
experienced hand at the business, and
with the aid of the new portable oven,
of 50 loaves capacity, expects to give the
citizens of Austin good bread, cake, and
pastry of all kinds.
—Charley West thought he would
fumigate that new girl-baby of his last
week. The sulphur is ordered, so many
pounds to the cubic foot, and the exer­
cises ordered to be begun. The family
expected to "hold the Fort" while the
burning shovel of incense was borne
through the rooms to the tune of "tramp,
tramp, the boys are marching," but they
were only well begun, when, in some un
accountable.manner, the whole ton, more
or less, was discovered to be on fire. The
family were obliged to vacate on the
"double quick," and the neighbors don't
think Bolcom's addition needs any more
sulphur this season.
—Austin is visited nearly every day
by agents or traveling job printers,
who, with some miserable excuse for a
patent invention, in some new style of
printing, or with a tale of prices so low
that they would fain make the average
business man think they do work less than
cost and board themselyes. This busi­
ness has quite a funny side sometimes
when one of these bummers happens to
come into your own store, and finds the
'editor in," and we listen to his tale of
to the end with a great deal of
interest, and he, judging by our interest,
is sure of a job, and is| at last, finally,
very politely, told that we guess we-went
give-an-order-to-day, as we run a little
printing shop of our own. It is really
quite amusing to see the sweet expres
sion, that all of a sudden so gently steals
his benign countenance, as, with
his retiring bow, he gasps, au revoir.
—Last week Thursday evening, just
after Wm. V. Little, of the town of Wm
dom, had retired, his wife, entering
the room, found him lying in a peculiar
way, and going to him, found life was
extinct. He had been to Austin that day
on business. Mr. Little was born in
High Gate, Franklin county, Wis., June
1, 1827. He was married, 1851, to Char­
lotte M. Morgan, and in June, 1852,
moved to Fall River, Wis. He enlisted
in Co. 32d Regt. Wis. Vols, Aug. 11,
1862, and was transferred in 1864 to the
Veteran Reserve corps, and in March,
1865, to the 23d Regt. First Battalion.
He moved to Minnesota in 1877, and
died Feb.
18,1886. The funeral service was
held at his residence, under the auspices
of Mclntyre Post, No. 66, G. A. and
Austin lodge, A. F. & A. M., Rev. W. E.
Stanley officiating. His remains were
taken to Milton Junction, Wis., for
burial.
—Do you see that man over there?
Well, he's a farmer. There he goes with
a friend they're going to pet a drink.
The farmer will pay for it. Now, let me
see. That man will sweat two mortal
hours next spring to plow enough
ground to raise one bushel of corn. That
bushel of corn he will sell for thirty
cents. He is going in there now to
spend the thirty cents for two drinks.
Therefore, the farmer and corn have
parted. Now, let me tell you what be­
comes of the corn. A bushel of corn
makes seventeen quarts of whisky—four
and a quarter gallons. The distillery
gets its first profit—40 cents a gallon.
There you are: $2 for a bushel of corn.
Now the government comes in, 90 cents
a gallon—$3.85 added to the $2 makes
$5.85. That brings the product of the
bushel of corn down to the jobber and
the wholesaler, and finally, by several
stages, to the retailer. By the time it
reaches the latter the bushel of corn or
its product) of four and a quarter gal­
lons has been reduced one-half, which
means eight and a half gallons. There
are sixty drinks to the gallon—that is the
average—eight and a half gallons means
270 drinks at 15 cents each—there we
have $46.35 as the consumer's price for
a bushel of corn, which the farmer raises
and sells for thirty cents. Who says
there is not industry in this country?
But the farmer we saw just now spent
his whole bushel of corn in the price of
two drinks, and the people who do not
till the soil got away with $46.35.—Ex­
change.

Gold in Our Vlaldi.
When we consider the health to be bet
ter than wealth, then must we consider
the old field mullein better than gold—at
least the medical world so recognize it,
and attests its merits over cod liver oil

ung troubles. Made in a tea and com­
bined with sweet gum it presents in Tay

and Mullein a pleasant and effective cure
for croup, whooping cough, colds and
consumption. Sold by Dorr & Wold and

sam for the throat and lungs, the great

ful remedy if it fails to cure you. Mills
& Johnson have secured the agency for
it. Price 50c and

Speak only two letter* and thus name
the destiny of all earthly things. D. K.

neglected cough or cold. If they had

Sweet Gum and Mullein along life would
have ensued. Sold by Dorr & Wold and
Hills & Johnson.
DEATH OF WXX.I A. WILTiABD.
Thursday afternoon the sad intelli­
gence, the citizens Of our city dreaded to
hear, but could but anticipate, came, that
Will A. Willard was dead.' This sad
event east a cloud of gloom over our en­
tire community, as young Willard was as
well beloved as widely known. His ill­
ness was not of long duration, as he sang
in his accustomed place in the choir at
the union services in the Congregational
church Sunday evening, Feb. 7. The
form of disease was typhoid pneumonia,
his death occurring Feb. 18. He was
born in Peoria, 111., Aug. 16, 1865, and
came to Austin in September, 1876. He
graduated from the Austin High School
in the class of 1883. During the last 4
years he was employed in the office of
Wheeler Bros, and Richardson & Day.
He was a young man ot more than ordi­
nary business ability. He was possessed
of fine natural musical talents, which he
utilized as a member of the Congrega­
tional choir, and often appeared on vari­
ous public occasions requiring his ser­
vices. He was also a member of Co. G,
ia which he held the rank of Sergeant.
The funeral services were held at the
residence of his parents, on Water street.
Sunday afternoon, Feb. 21, at 3 o'clock,
and were largely attended, the house be­
ing crowded to overflowing. The exer­
cises were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
C. E. Wright, of whose church young
Willard was a member.
The floral decorations were most appro­
priate and beautiful: A large shield,
from Co. G, 2} feet in length by 2 feet in
width, the letter "G" being formed with
blue hyacinths, and the crossed arms in
purple a harp, with one broken string,
from the choir a pillow with the letter
"W," from the the high school a wheel
with one missing spoke, from the hie
school class of 1888 an anchor from Rich­
ardson & Day and a design of the "Gates
Ajar," from the choir.
After the exercises, the interment took
place in Baudler's cemetery.
In this sad bereavement, Mr. Willard
and family haye the sincere sympathy of
many friends, a feeling in which all who
ever met their son, most heartily join.
To the memory of this first born son, so
full of promise, and filial devotion, they
can add the consolation that he was pre­
pared for the great change, and died in
the sweet assurance of the rest beyond
the grave.
THE ALLIANCE MEETING.
At the court-house, last Saturday after­
noon, the railroad question was taken
up, and talked ever to a considerable cx
tent, and it was thought best to lay the
matter over to the next meeting, and
all were requested to bring what informa­
tion they could in regard to shipping
rates.
On motion the question for the next
meeting: "The most profitable crop for
farmers to raise this year."
Now, we want the farmers to turn out
en masse to this meeting, and each
advocate his own ideas. Yours may be
Grain, Grass, Vegetables, or Stock, and
show why yours shall be preferable.
Meeting adjourned for another week,
in same place, Saturday, 1 o'clock p. m.

Happy Thought in the Night.
For years Mr. Jas, R. Ackley, of 163
West Fayette street, Baltimore, had suf­
fered with neuralgia so that he could
hardly sleep. But he writes, "One night
I was suffering very much, and the
thought struck me that Brown's Iron Bit
ters would do me good, and perhaps cure
me. It was a happy thought, and to my
great joy it has entirely cured me after
using two bottles. After three months I
have had no return of the symptoms. I
cheerfully recommend it as the best tonic
I have ever used." Neuralgia sufferers,
take the hint!

Core for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins, and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh­
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi­
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira­
tion producing a very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Rem­
edy, which acts directly upon the parts affect­
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure.
Price 90 cents. Address the Dr. Bosanko Med­
icine Co.. Ptoua. O. Sold tar Mills Jr Johnson.

[Graduate in Medicine of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, late U. S. Examining
Surgeon, late Surgeon to the WHITE BEAVER MEDICAL AND SUR­
GICAL INSTITUTES, St. Paul and LaCrosse,]
BTJRGEON-IN-OHIEF.
Owing to the extensive clinical experience enjoyed by Dr. MacDonald during his connec­
tion with the "WHITE BEAVER" hospitals, (and before) when he met with a measure of
success never excelled, he has acquired an accuracy of diagnosis which can only be the re­
sult of such varied practice, and which the invalid public would do well to avail themselves of.
Those who have been maltreated should not despair until they have exhausted the ad­
vanced, rational, and scientific method pursued in this institution, for although we do not
profess to cure all the ills to which flesh is heir, we do all the remediable ones.
DISEASES OF LUNGS. We make a specialty of treating all forms of lung trouble,
and can eradicate ANY disease from these organs, if the final stage has not been reached.
COMPOUND OXYCEN scientifically administered in suitable cases.
DISEASES OF WOMEN. All forms of ovarian or uterine displacements, tumors,
suppre&sed. difficult, scanty, painful or profuse menstruation, and their causes.
DISEASE OF URINARY ORGANS. Inflammation of bladder.
BRIGHT'S DISEASE in its many forms. Indicated by headache, nausea, asthma,
dropsy, and often by frequent desire to pass urine, especially at night,—often accompanied
with scalding—making life unendurable. This last symptom—especially in middle-aged or
elderly people—is often the forerunner of this grave disease, and should be at once attended
to, or it may be too late.
STOMACH AFFECTIONS. Diseases of Liver and Bowels.
FISTULA, PILES, treated painlessly, without knife or ligature. Over one hundred
successful cases.
CONSTITUTIONAL DISEASES. as Rheumatism, General Dropsy, Anaemia,(blooa
lessness). Mercurial Poisoning, Syphilis, Nervous Exhaustion, and all diseases of a private
nature.

upon application. If this be properly filled out, a diagnosis may be made, and the appropri­
ate remedies sent by mail or express.
