The Toll Road.

The owners of the toll road on the south
side, complain that the state of affairs as
portrayed by the Business Mems Associa-
ton is not ms represented by that body of
gentlemen, in all particulars. They admit
that the road has MT paid expenses for the
last three years, but besides this they claim
everything to be regular and above board.
They explain that the omission of the
name Of the court from which they were to
receive permission to build the road was
purely accidental and that the charter was
drawn up with this portion blank, in order
that the committee of legislature might use
its discretion in the matter This, however
was of no consequence, as the consent of the
property holders along the road and the con.
sent of the towns through which it passed
had been secured and nothing additional was
needed.
The charter provided that they should
build three lilies of the road during the first
two years and gave them all the time they
desired to build the remander-build it in
the year 1000 if they so desired Four
miles were constructed in all, and with the
work, the Covel Creek bridge, which cost
$1,000.
The stockholders had always been liberal
to the public One mile Of the road had been
given to the towns of South Ottawa and
Grand Ridge. They would sell the road to
the Board of Supervisors for $1,000, which
was about what the Covel Greek bridge is
worth today.

Cant. Osman's Lecture.

Capt Moses Osmsn delivered an address
before Seth C. Earl Post, G. A. R., on Tues,
day evening on the Mexican War. He ana
lyzed the government organization and
described the condition of the people before
and after the condition of the conflict Mexi-
co had advanced more rapidly since war,
notwithstanding her great loss of territory,
than she had during the preceding two hun.
bred years Her school system, her business
methods and her general standing in the
eyes of the world were better and higher.
His lecture, from historical standpoint,
was very interesting. The march of the
First Illinois through Mexico and their
part in the historic battle of BuenaVista were
graphically described. The story of the
battle was very entertaining, and was made
more 30 than it otherwise would have been
by the introduction Of map Of the battle
field. The 6, A. r. quarters were crowded
with members and their wives, and the
Sons Of Veterans attended almost to a man.

Start it in the public schools, where those
