care if the town is getting three
hundred dollars given to them to-
wards building a necessary bridge
on the principal street in town,
let the citizens who gave three

and leave us the five hundred dol
lars of public money to open a

word in reply to your statement
that two of the tour councilmen
were directly interested and per-
sonally benefited by it, to this l
wish to say it is false and without
any reason for belief, and if you
will be fair enough to state to the
public wherein either Of the four
councilmcd who voted for the ap-
preparation will be benefited by.
the building of that brid ge, farther
than the general benefit derived as
citizen Of tho town in con.
sequence OF public improvement,
and no greater than if the work
were done on any street, then yoa

tions which he will be bound to re-

LON EDWARDS.

In a spirit of fairness we have
allowed Mr.. Edwards to waste con-
siderable Of our space this week to
set himself arignt, and he writes
much but says little. Not having
space to refer to his ".waddle," we
will pass that over and endeavor to
help him in his attempt to show
the matter truly. When street
work was begun, MIR. Edwards
was rabid in bis desire for the
opening Of street across town.
and that, Fifth street, on which he
lives, but was perfectly willing to
forget his street in the face of the
job Of building the bridge. Peo-
pie who know something about
street work claim Fourth street to
be the cheapest opened, and that
is why the Editor referred directly
to that one, that the more street
work could be done. As a matter
of fair play in the expenditure Of
the public money, the streets that
are most necessary should be mad e
passable, and improved upon as the
means permit. Wonder what the
public thinks of being "robbed of
their street money" to build a
bridge! Speaking Of the settle
ments north and west Mr.. Ed.
wards knows full well that First
is not Travelled more than Railroad
street alone, and people from those
settlements never Use the bridge.
That is no argument in favor of
the bridge, as the northern Sec
ton Of the street is already graded.
The "milk and vegetable wag-
ons loaded with cabbage and o}her
heavy freight" raises a smile. 1t
is a sickly plea, and a side issue to
"Cyphert's addition" At the
Board meeting We learn that some
one stated tnat there was Sl1OO
IN the treasury, which induced two
OF the tour to vote tavorably, un-
der the Impression that street
work would 60 on. After the ap-
preparation was made the matter
OF stopping street work was
brought up. Another reason
against the expenditure of $500
on the bridge is that it will cause
the town to be- burdened with
debt, as the remaining funds,
about $50, will not last Until
August, and two thirds of the
year is yet before rs, with tho
current and incidental expenses.
1t is very short sighted, narrow.
minded policy that expends the
entire funds within the first halt
year from the towns incorpora-
ton. Not one of the "kickerso
would object to any public i'm
provement when conducted with
Judgment, and now that the ap-
preparation is to be expended pro D.
erly and accounted for, nothing
fnrther can be said except to re-
lterate that. in the opinion of the
majority of the property holders.
the money could have gone to
better use. The present BRIDGE
has stood a dozen years, and is
good for another with slight brac.
ing.

Is the fact that it does not work IN the

presented to him by James Gordon
but with negative results"
'Dr. Kellogg, what Is your own opin-
ion regarding the efficacy of these in
jectiOns2"
"Wcu, il seems TO me more than
probable that the marvellous results re-
ported by Dr. Browns -Sequard and other
oxpcrimenters a following the employ.
ment of these injections is wholly the
result of influences upon the lmagina-
ton of the patient, and not from any
magic potency of the solution injected.
Beside, there are facts well known to
surgeons which would seem 10 indicate
the utter absurdity OF the theory upon
which the operation IS based. DR..
Brown-Sequard, however, is entirely
sincere in his belief and exceedingly
enthusiastic as regards the future of
his operation.
