Street Improvement.

At the special meetings OF the Council
held Wednesday and Saturday evenings
at the office OF r. N. Goodwin the matter
Of improving the streets was the pro-
gram for the sittings. The committee ap-
pointed, Messrs. M. W. Lang, Fl. Allyn,
and CIV. Hemenway, had visited Oberlln
and Elyria and investigated the improve
ment recently made on streets in those
places and returned with report signed
by each member that in their judgment
similar Improvements constructed in this
place would be OF untold benefit in time
and recommended that the Council pro-
coed to get the consent of the property
owners to carry out theproposed improve
ment the coming season. The report of
the committee was accepted and they
were discharged. The plan for the pre-
posed Improvements is to lay stone eight
feet wide and eight inches thick in the
center OF the street, with proper drainage
on each side, and tine property owners to
pay one-eighth OF the expense per running
foot; that is to say one-fourth of the ex-
pense will be charged 10 the street and
three fourths to the corporation. One
fourth being divided will cause an assess
ment of one.eight to each side of the
street. This opened the way for discus.
sion, which was quite animate d for sea-
son, but each member heartily favored
the proposed work. Several plans were
submitted foI consideration, but the one
named appeared to meet with the appro-
baton of all present, as ii appeared to be
nearer justice than any other plan laid
down in the statutes. Mayor Hustled was
instructed to procure proper blanks and
cause them to be presented to the property
owners to get consent 10 prepare for the
work and report success at the next regu-
i lar meeting The committee took special
pains to inspect the improvement in the
towns visited and Interviewed the officials
and business men and they all heartily
approved of the Improvements made and
were contemplating petitioning for more
of the same kind at an early date.

Very well. we have taken you Ut

calmly await the benefit promised us.
That 1t will come, and be Of such:gen-
erous dimensions, no one who knows
how well DEBORAH likes good thing,

advices from Mr.. Coneen, Capt.

wind the clocks during our Fair.
Their fine Band will be here and give
us charming music, while their
brawny base ballists with Burdick,
the slugger, will make leather hunt
ing lively business.
We will be pleased to see, and

that is trust, pure and simple.
When several corporations or indi-
viduals form another company and
transfer their property and good

trust, but an evasion Of the anti
trust laws.
When q number OF persons buy

When several concerns engaged in

All these are for the sole purpose
Of preventing competition in buying

In 1868 was taken with bilious col

Yearly attacks followed, and Ut

that Vinegar Bitters cures hundred

The New York Weekly Witness, a
religious paper whose god is Mammon
and whose heaven is Wall Street, in
answer to a correspondent in it's is
sue Of August 7th asks:
IF government could give real val
claring it to be q dollar, what is to
even beyond the dreams OF Aladdin
with his lamp?''
Indeed, and IL government can
make an untaxable interest bearing
bond out Of paper which will bring a
premium in the gold dollars that the
Witness idolizes, why should any
body work? Let the government is
sue and distribute the bonds, and the
free American citizen can sit under
HE vine and fig tree and without la
Dor he can live OF the interest the
bonds draw without being taxed. All
he has to do is to clip the coupons
and draw his interest.
Tiffany, an acknowledged authority
on government and constitutional
law says, on page 211, Sec. 400:
The act of coming money consist.
i'm affixing to that which Is to consti
tute money, the stamp or seal Of SOW.
ereign authority by which it may be
known or recognized in market q
authoritatively entitled to be received
at the price or value stamped there
on. The authority which coins OF
stamps itself upon the article can sc
lect what substance it deems mos,
suitable to receive the stamp and
pass it as money; and can affix what
value it deems proper, Independent
Of the intrinsic value"
Our y. s. Supreme court recognizes
the same principle and has given it,
unqualified sanction to the validity
of the legal tender acts, SO called.
The attitude Of the Witness to thi
law and decision Of the Court Of Las
resort is fully as reprehensible as tn,
attitude Of the whisky ring towar,
prohibitory legislation and il fraugh
with graver consequences to tn,

ments which afford it much grief

This il q question frequently asked
by Cresco people nowadays, and
various answers are given. In years
past Cresco has treated her sister
town very nicely at Fair time. Save
one year, very few have come back
to lis, and many Of or good people
without stopping to think have bsen
quite pouty over it. But Tor gears,
DEBORAH has held its fair 0nst, and
our stock exhibits were always to be
seen there SO that DEBORAH people
need not come here to see them
again. But this is not all. Like peo-
pie who move into a new house and
look back at the old one, wondering
how they ever lived in it, we have
moved into q new home aid every
body wonders how we ever stood it
where we were. Has it not been ex-
pecting too much, that with . track
unsuited and unsafe, and . ground
almost destitute of buildings for any
purpose. without q solitary attrac-
ton to offer, how could we expect at
tendance from people however kind
~ disposed, under such circuln-
stances.
But the troubles that operated
against us in the past no longer ex-
list. There may be better track,
more beautiful grounds and q more
commodious and handsomely finished
lot Of fair buildings in several coun-
ties Of Iowa, but il SO we have never
seen them. There may also have
been instances where more and better
attractions have been offered to visi-
tors than at Cresco this year, bat il
SO we have neither seen nor read of
them.
No. the tables are turned most CON-
pletely, and our DEBORAH friends will
not have any good reason for
longer withholding liberal patron
age at our Fair. As things now are,
all further reciprocity in this respect
would and should terminate il our
neighbors come not.
In January last the President of
the Winnesiiiek Agl Society wrote
our Sec'y, Mr.. McHugh, as follows:
Il am glad to hear that You have
taken hold Of your Fair matters, and

of it, and that you will have attrac-
tions that will draw. Our people ap-
