The Law OF HIGHwAYs. - The
Importance of a full understanding OF
the law of highways has lead the
HERALD heretofore to give its readers
considerable amount of information
regarding the rights of the people
and the responsibility of the town as
regards the public highway. The
history of the Foshsy-Patch Grove
case which passed through the gamut
ofthe courts is yet fresh in the minds
of the people. A similar case, or one
that included some of the claims OF
the plaintiff in that one, was heard on
appeal before the Supreme court, in
January last. We publish below the
reported brief of the decision by that
court. 1t is important that the town
authorities understand as thoroughly
as possible the law concerning the
maintenance of the public highway
and the rights of the people thereon,
and their attention is invited to this
recent decision. 1t is as follows
cease, Hubbell VS. Goodrich):
!. Town supervisors have power, and it is
their duty, to cause the summary removal of
any public nuisance found in any highway I'M
der their jurisdiction, including any obstruc-
ton or encroachment upon the highway which
unnecessarily impedes or incommodes the
lawful use thereof by the public. And to this
end they may require the overseer of the
proper district to remove such obstruction or
other public nuisance.
g The town supervisors have also power to
cause the summary removal of any structure
unawfully and walfu12y placed within the
limits of the highway by any person, although
the same is not public nuisance.
8. But where the obstruction or encroach-
ment is not public nuisance, and was not
willfully placed in the highway (as where it
was placed there by inadvertance or careless
ness, without any intention to obstruct the
highway, the supervisors have no power to
cause the summary removal thereof but the
remedy given by secs. 102-l0S, CHI. 10, R. S
(Tay. Stats, sos, SIS 19S-l44), must be pur-
sued.
4. In an action for trespass in removing
plaintiffs fence, the answer was, that the
locus was public highway, and that one of
the defendants was overseer of highways in
that district, with the assistance of the other
defendant and by order of the town supervise
ors, went upon plaintiffs land and removed
the fence, doing no unnecessary damage. The
jury was instructed that if the fence removed
was in public highway, defendants were en-
titled to verdict. The evidence not show
ing conclusively either that the fence was a
public nuisance or that it was willfully placed
in the highway: Held, that the instruction
was erroneous.

| ST. CLARA COMMENCEMENT The
| Commencement exercises of the St.
Clara Academy at Sinsinawa Mounds
on the 9Th inst. were unusually inter-
esting and largely attended by par
ties from Chicago, Dubuque, Galena,
and the surrounding towns. This in
stitution has been constantly thriv-
ing, and though nominaily Catho-
lie Seminary, yet does not intrude it's
religious creed upon its pupils with :.
out their full consent. 1t may APP
propriately be dignifiod with the
name of Female College since it
gives complete course of instruction
in anguages, science and music, and
affords, without doubt, the best op.
portunities for young ladies in the
North west, excepting perhaps the
Female Department OF our State Uni
versity.
The graduating class this year
numbered five, as follows Misses
A. Colgan, S. Brehany, NJ. Sweany,
L. Mccoy, NJ. Spillane. The closing
exercises were varied. and aside from
the literary performances exhibitions
of paintings, drawings, embroidery
work, &c. Exercises on the harp
and piano were also interspersed
throughout the programme. The
valedlctory was given by Miss Spill

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
Bsseher. salary R.i.ed.o 800. GOO ..Yo.r.

New YORK, July s.-A largely at
tended meeting of the Plymouth
Society was held this evening, with
Mr.. j. B. Hutchinson in the chair.
The chairman stated that the meeting
had been called for the purpose of
considering the question of raising
Mr. Beecher's salary. Mr.. Henry w.
Sage offered resolution to the effect
that the pastors salary for the ensuing
year be fixed at 100000, instead of
$4,000 which it was heretofore.
This was seconded by r. w. Papes.
Mr. B. White then delivered an ad-
dress in favor of the passage of this
resolution. He said that while the in
vestigating committee was sitting,
Plymouth Church made no effort to
influence them in any way, and it had
been so all through the trial. They
had made no move whatever towards
influencing the jury, or any body else,
Beecher's behalf, and their time
had not come until to night; and now,
said the speaker, we will show the
world that Plymouth Church can
spend millions in defence of her pas.
tors innocence, but not one dollar for
blackmail and bribery.
The resolution was then put to vote
and passed unanimously. There
were about four-6fths of the pew
holders present at the meeting, which
was a very enthusiastic one. 1t is
generally understood among the con-
gregation that this enormous salary Is
only for one year, and is mainly in
tended to help to defray the expenses
of the trial.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Stop That Cough.

Many people hesitate to try medicine for 9
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of its henefting them
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection. With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer
ing with a cold, cough or sore throat, that vii
call at w B. Baxter's or any other drug store
and purchase a bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one.half of it and, if they ther
conclude that It's doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back theil
money. No medicine ever sold in this vicini'
ty, that produced so magical results. Dom

A glance at the above aggregates

A glance at the above aggregates
shows that Grant county has increas-
ed in population during the past FIVE
years to the number of 1907. The
increase is larger than expected, con-
sidering the great emigration of our
people during late years to the West.
1t will be seen that of the Incorporated
towns Platteville, Boscobel and Lam
caster are on the gain, while Hazel
Green is losing. Muscoda and Blue
River are the banner towns, and the
former at its rate of growth may soon
knock at the Legislature door for vii
lace privileges. The towns of Little
Grant, Clifton, Lima and Wyalusing
take lead in population decrease, and
Ellenboro, Waterloo, Harrison and
Woodman show the slightest gains.

To CLEAN LAMP CHINiNEYs.-Put
the chimneys in strong soda and
water; let it be only moderately hot.
The longer they lie in it the better.
Rince in cold water, drain and polish
by rubbing with q soft cloth. In
trimming kerosene lamps, it is neces-
sary only to remove the cinders.
The wick should be nearly square, as
a curved wick, though burning clear
ly, will not give so much light.

.B-One day last week smiling
infant toddled away from its home
near Viola, on the Dubuque South,
western road, Iowa, and lay between
the rails to sleep. A few moments
after train came along, and the en-
gineer, seeing he could not stop in
time, pulled her wide open and bang
ed the whole train over the sleeping
cherab before it awoke, and never
touched hair of it, Had the little
one attempted to rise, it would have
been killed instantly.
