Brewer. We take pleasure in voluntarily expressing our favorable opinion of Dr. F. B. Brewer as a physician and as gentleman.

If 110 other proof of his ability was accessible, this fact alone Would have much weight, that he has made visits regularly for years, and succeeded 111 budding up: successful practice where 40 many pretenders have failed. We do not count the Doctor as a traveling physician since his appomtmots are so regularly kept.

PHILLIPS may meet with another disaster. An attempt is being made to restrain the erection of the county buildings at that place, and to remove the county seat from Phillips to Prentice. THE Democrats of Wood county have held their convention to select delegates to the state and gressional conventions, and resolutions were adopted endorsing the national and state administrtions and the services of Lyman E. Barnes, in Congress.

The Marshield News, whose editor was elected a delegate to Green Bay, says that the sentiment of the convention was strongly in favor of the re-nomination of Congressman Barnes notwithstanding his expressed desire that he be roheved from making the canvass. REPRESENTATIVE BRYAN, of Nich- in each package, at Mieding's. unage serial 2590047 ra-ka, who ha- more than a fighting chance of being Senator Bryan in the near future, is an ardent admirer and disciple of Thomas Jefferson, the great Virginia democrat. During a recent pilgrimage to Monticello Mr. Bryan conceived the idea of presenting the quota of plants alloted to him as a member of the House, from the 1'.

S. Botanical Gardens, to be in decorating Jefferson's grave. Among the plants to be sent to Monticello is a sprig of ivy from a plant grown from a sprig cut from the grave of Robert Burns. the great Scotch poet. By the way.

pilgrimages to the grave of Jofforson are becoming quite popular with democrats. Vice President Stevenson and Senator lill were among last week's pilgrims. 'The hospitality of Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, i the present proprietor of Monticello, makes the pilgrimage as pleasant as the surroundings make it patriotic.

"SENATORI courtesy" was badly strained when republican Senators refused to answer 10 their names to make a quorum to pass the bill correcting the error in the tariff bill. for which a republican Senator--Hoar, of Massachusetts. is responsible, making alcohol used in the arts free, unless the democratic Senators would promise not (0) make any speeches while the bill Wis under consideration.

It is just as necessary for a mau to get good reading matter as it is to get good food. We bave just made arrangements which way be of interest to you, dear sir, who are glancing down this column of type.

The arrangement is this: We will give you that greatest of all Democratic papers, the New York Weekly World, and this paper, both for one year each, for $2.25, or we will send you this paper for one year and The Weekly World for six months for the regular yearly price of this paper alone, $2.00. The campaign now begun is going to be a very important one. Here is the opportunity to get your own local paper and the leading metropolitan journal of the country at extraordinary low rates. Does this interest you If it does, and you think it worth while to take advantage of this great special offer while it lasts, send $2.00 and get The Weekly World for six months and THE GAZETTE, one year. Old subcribers can also take advantage of this great opportunity by paying up all arrearages.

Address THE GAZETTE, Stevens Point. R. J. McBRIDE, of Neilsville, state senator from that district, has been appointed as consul to Edinburgh, Scotland. "Bob" McBride has many friends throughout this "peck of woods," as well as in all parts of the the state, who are pleased to see him thus recognized.

Mrs. ROSAMOND FOLLETT, one of the best known women in Wisconsin land until quite recently editor and manager of the Green Bay Gazette, died at her home in Green Bay, Monday evening, aged nearly 48 years. She was universally loved and respected by all who knew her, and her death will be felt by hundreds throughout the northwest as a personal loss. Mrs. Follett leaves one sol.

IT will be a hundred years on November 3d since William Cullen Bryant was born, and somewhere between May and December occurs the eightythird anniversary of the writing of the first important poem produced by an American, and the greatest poem ever written by a boy of seventeen. The September HARPER'S contains the history of "Thanatopsis," in "The Origin of a Great Poem," by John W. Chadwick. The article includes two portraits of Byrant and a picture of the house in which the poem was written. THE name of W.

W. O'Keefe is frequently mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for congress in the 9th district. Mr. I O'Keefe, who is a former Stevens Pointer, is the most popular man with the masses in the north half of the state today, and will not only hold the vote of his party, together with the labor vote to a man, but will also so draw from the Republican fold, should he be nominated. The indications at the present time are that he will be the nominee, unless his health, which is very poor, prevents his acceptance.

GEo. B. SHAW. of Eau Claire, of Congress from the Serenth district, died at his home last Monday morning, after an illness of several weeks with malarial fever contracted in Washington. Mr.

Shaw was 40 years old the 12th of last March, and was serving his first term in Congress. Ile was a leading member of the Knights of Pythias, having held nearly every office in the order, and in 1888 was elected supreme chancellor. At the time of his death he was sitting past chancellor. His aged mother, his wife and two children, a boy and girl, survive him. THE tariff bill became a law at midnight last Monday, but without the signature of President Cleveland.

The new law is much preferable to the McKinley law, and there are SO many good features about it that are highly acceptable and in accordance with Democratic doctrine, that while the president could not approve of the more undesirable sections, he could not disapprove of the bill as a whole. The new law is now in full force and effect. and the country will soon commence to fool the good effects that will accrue. A step has been taken in the rignt direction, and the next congress will have an opportunity to continue the good work. List of Unclaimed Letters Remaining at the Steven: Point Post Omce, Aug.

The medal contests inaugurated in New York city, in April, 1886, baving become a decided success, and an approved method for Interesting and educating young people and enlisting audiences in the principles of prohibition, it has been thought best, for the purpose of placing the contests on a more permanent basis, to make some modifications of the terms for securing the Demorest medals as trophies of merit, and also to more effectively extend the principles of prohibition. The following rules will therefore be adhered to: A public meeting to be arranged, for which the recitations will form the program, which may be interspersed with music. Three disinterested persons of intelligence are to be chosen to act as judges, for whom suitable blanks will be furnished. Judges are advised to avoid a tie, as but one medal can be presented at a contest. A competing class shall consist of not less than six nor more than ten persons.

When not less than six young persons of either sex, between the ages of 12 and 25, shall recite before an audience, pieces taken from either of the three volumes, "From Contest to Conquest," the one adjuged to have made the best recitation will be awarded a silver medal in a satin-lined case. When not less than six of the silver medals are secured by as many contestants, the winners will be entitled to compete for a gold medal. When eight or more gold medals have been won, the holders may compete for a handsome gold medal, studded with diamonds. On these terms the medals will be presented by W. Jenpings Demorest, free of expense.

No one having won a medal will be allowed to compete again for the same kind of medal. Three trials will be allowed to each speaker for the silver medal. two for the first gold medal, but only one trial for a grand gold or diamond medal. No one can recieve the higher prize until the lower ones are secured. At any contest a new piece must be recited.

The recitations are be taken exclusively from the books propared for this purpose, which cost only one dime. The contests are designed to be educational, and it is requested that the prose matter contained in the books be given the preference for the competitors. Pastors, parents, teachers, officers and members of the W. C. T.

U. and I. O. G. leaders of temperance and religious organizations, schools, colleges and all others interested are invited to encourage the young people under their direction and control.

A good plan is to grade the class, say from 12 to 16 years, and another from 16 to 25. Let it be distinctly understood that all temperance societies, clubs, churches, public schools and individuals, are earnestly urged to "lend a hand" and help in this good work. Novelties In Photography. It is rather startling to the ordinary mind to bo told that photographs can be taken without the assistance of light. Photography has always been so associated with the action of the sun's rays and bright lights that a new departuro in the direction of similar results produced by ether waves set up by the working of an electrical machine is a genuine surprise.

A scientist, however, gives the following facts. "Lay a coin, like a half dollar, on plate of glass, and let a fow sparks from an electric machine fall upon it. Remove the coin, and the glass surfaco will not appear to have been affected, but if it be breathed on tho image of the coin will at once be seen. That it is really engraved upon the glass is crident, for it will not easily rub off. If a piece of photographic paper take the place of the glass, it will have tho imprint of the coin mado upon it.

It is not needful to have the sparks fall upon the coin, for if it bo inclosed in a dark box and brought near to an electric machine having short sparks passing between its knobs the ether waves set up by tho latter will be short cough to affect the photographic surface, which may bo developed afterward in the ordinary way." The idea is new, but practical and susceptible of great development and utility.New York Ledger. A Very Broad Hint. The following might be taken as an 11- lustration of a very brond hint.
