a general system of good gravel
roads throughout the state would add
largely to the value of farms and farm
produce. By reducing the labor and
expense Of hauling, it would save farm
animals and reduce the cost of market
ing the products of the farm. Besides
putting money into the pockets of the
people, there would be distinct moral
gain in the improved conditions of
neighborhood life. Good roads are an
indispensable requisite and unfailing
sign Of higher civilization. Mortified
News.
The court room of Justice Blanchard
was filled last Saturday afternoon with
people interested in the outcome of the
Oleson- Matteson case, in which the
former accused the l1tter of malicious
and wrongful assault. Col. Baasen
was attorney for plaintiff and Albert
Stelnhauser argued in defense of Matte.
son. Several witnesses were brought
before tue court and, as the defendant
asked for jury trial, the trial contin.
ued through the whole afternoon. Two
stories were told, each as different from
the other as night from dav, and, not.
withstandirg the jury was the most in
telligent that ever sat on a criminal
case, they found it impossible to agree

other column, Chairman Blanchard. of
the county committee, has fixed the
place and date for holding the Republi.
can County Convention at Sleepy Eve
on the 18th Of next month. AT that
time Il candidate for representative to
the legislature and for all the county
offices will be put in nomination. The
candidates, except those now in Office,
who will bob up at this convention, have
been resting pretty low, and at this
stage of the game it would be difficult
to state just what was going to happen
and equally as hard to say just what, in.
political way, wasn't. Before the con-

voters all over the county to take an in
terest in the matter, attend the caucuses
and select delegates that will vote in
dependently and only for the best men.
If the majority only will, they have it
in their power to keep the coming con.
vention clear of the work of all rings
and tricksters.
A test of the waterworks was made
