IT SHOULD BE BORNE BY THE
COUNTY.

One thousand dollars will make q
road to the Smokey mines from Haley,
and give this town very important and
constantly increasing trade. Haley
is only rs miles away from tie princi.
pal Smokey mines, or IL miles nearer
than any other town on Wood River,
and is therefore the natural trading
point for that section. It is a country
containing hundred good mines,
heavily timbered, we'll watered, and
overrua with deer and other game.
The population will increase every
year, and to secure the trade in mine
supplies and in Quitting prospectors
in that country should be one Of the
FIRST moves made by HALEY merchants.
The mine owners of Smokey desire to
trade here and, without exception, ia
vor the building of county road be-
tween the Smokey mines and Haley.
Ketchum and Bellevue are awake
to the Importance of securing the
trade Of that section, and are not only
moving for the making of good roads
from these points, but using every
effort to defeat the making of road
from HALEY, and the residents Of
HALEY are passively letting events
take their course, unaided by any
action on their part.
A petition was largely signed here
by most of the merchants, PRAYING the
County Commissioners to appropriate
$1,000 to make the road to Smoky,
and it was made plain to them that
the road could be built for that sum

John M. Cannaday handed the petit

Vanlandingham, in a very brief but
comprehensive speech, advocated the
road, and as one of the Board of
County Commissioners favored its con-
struction. Commissioner Van Setback
would also have voted for it, but
JOSEPH E. Morrill, Chairman of the
Board, discouraged the work on the
grounds that he could get road built
without expense to the county by
parties who would make it toll.

e. r. Leonard, long a resident of
ketchum, aided in sustaining Mr..
Morrill's view, so far as not having the
county build the road, and definite &C

Organic Weakness

Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This
affiiction-which renders life burden and mar
tim of improper Indulgence. Young persons
are too apt to commit excuses from not being
aware of the terrible consequences that may en-
sue. Now who that understands this subject,
will deny that pro-creation is lost sooner by
those falling into improper habits than by the
prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleas
ure of healthy offspring the most serious and de-
structivc symptoms Of both mind and body
arise. The system becomes deranged, and phys
ical and mental functions weakened, loss of pro-
creative power, nervous irritabilty, dyspepsia,
ptlpi alton of the heart, indigestion, constitu-
tional debility, wasting of the frame, cough,
consumption, decay and death.

extreme width, three miles It contains
about five thousand acres of the best

accommodate hunters; among these are
iwo large lakes and the whole is inter

Three branches of the Rock River run

A Singular Phenomenon.

From the Corning Uo.) Free Press.
Our attention has been called to yery sim
gular phenomenon connected with the residence
of Mrs. D. s. Sigler. The house Itself is one of
the finest and most commOdious in Southwest
Iowa, having cost s25, GOO, and has every mod
ern convenience attached to It, The roof ia COM
posed Of slate, the structure of brick. It is
warmed by Paige heater and lighted by gas.
1t will be remembered by our readers that Mrs.
Sgler has been quite sick for the past six weeks.
1t was during one OF the visits of the family
physician, DR.. Newell Of this city, In attempting
to give his patient medicine from spoon. that
sparks Of fire were emitted. This led to a
further examination, and finger pointed at or
near the chandeliers would produce the same re-
suit; In short, 1t was discovered that the entire
house, In all parts, was complete galyanic or
electric battery. The effect was felt in all the
rooms, and the same result could be accom-
pllshed upon the person Of any one.
1t Is explained upon no known scientific prin-
ciple as yet. but it 10 supposed to be caused by
the generation of electricity through the heat
ing apparatus, which extends from the basement
to all parts Of the house. 1t Is supposed that
this electric condition Of affairs has in great
measure contributed to the prostration of Mrs
Sigler, and measures will be taken at once to
have scientific examination made Of the diff
Guilty, and II found in the supposed heating ap-
paratus, the same will be removed and steam
substituted. There is certainly nothing In the
location OF the property that produces such q
result, unless it be that the house is situated
upon some kind of q bed Of metal or iron ore.

Phenomena Which Are Unexplained

From the st. Louis Republican.
In conversation with Republican reporter
yesterday afternoon, Bishop Bowman said:
81 am not believer in modern Splritualism,
and do not believe that spirits upset chairs and
move tables. but can say that have never been
able to account for many remarkable expert
ences have had during my life under different
circumstances. We are much nearer the spirit
world than we think, perhaps, and the spirits
OF the departed dead, l believe, have a certain
influence over our minds.
when vOya@ing OH the Red sea made 1t q
practice to pray every night and morning for
my Wife. from whom l was absent, and who at
the time was an invalid. One evening l knelt
down As usual and tried to pray for her. but
found could not do it. This worried me very
much, but l attributed my incapacity to pray
for her to nervousness. as had preached SER
mon to the passengers on board that afternoon.
On the following morning again tried to pray
for Mrs. Bowman, experiencing the same diff
Guilty that prevented me from accomplishing nv
purpose on the evening previous. l wondered
what had happened. Was | losing my senses?
wife may be dead" But this / considered Inn
probable. as had received a letter few days
before stating that she was much better than
she had been for long time. However, was
anxious to reach point where | could expect
to receive additional tidings relative to her con-
ditiOn. Finally, on my arrival at Rome found
letter awaiting me- conveying the news that
Mrs. Bowman was dead and buried She had
died on the same evening that | found myself
unable TO pray for her while voyaging over the
Red sea. This experience was never able to
acco unit for. yet shall never forget it,
About the same time my daughter had
another extraordinary experience. but it was
not similar to mine. When in Paris she would
shut her eyes and could then see her mothers
face distinctly. On the evening OF her mothers
death she att ompt ed do this and go fortified
at not seeing the face that she ran out of the
room into another apartment. She felt that
something had happened, but her friends told
her that her fears were all imaginary Suisse
qrently she received news that her mother had
died about the time she found it impossible to
see her face with her eyes closed. In this house
(reierring to his residence, where the CONVERSE
ton took place. about this time last year. was
lying sick. at the point of death. the physicians
being unable to predict " whether would live or
die. Then had some very happy visions, as
