COUNTY SEAT WAR.
To Be Settled After 80 Years
of Hard Fighting.


of Hard Fighting.
Lewiston, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-The
Fulton county seat fight that has
been going ON for 80 years seems
in a fair way to be settled at last.
The board of supervisors met in
a special session last night to con-
slider LewistOn's propositions to
erect another building and pre-
sent it to the county, and passed
Il resolution to accept the same
without a dissenting voice.
The building is to cost not less
than $4,000 exclusive of heat
ing, light and other fixtures,
which the county is going to be
asked to furnish.
There has been for years one
of the fiercest fights going on be-
tween this place and Canton, and
it has led to bitter feelings be-
tween the two towns and to no
end of litigation. Occasionally
Cuba. a smaller towns but more
centrally located than either of
the others, has taken a hand and
tried to get the courthouse, but
without success.
County seat elections have Oc-
Cured in this county every ten
years, just as often as the law al
lows, since 1910. The next one
would take place in 1898 and to
prevent this Lewiston had agreed
to build a new courthouse, the
old one having been destroyed by
fire in 1893, for the burning of
which three Lewiston citizens
were arrested, but who were af-
forwards acquitted.
The most historical of these
county seat. elections was the one
between Canton and Lewiston in
1873. That year Lewiston built
the Fulton county narrow gauge
railway, sixty miles in length,
running from Havana to Gales.
burg, through the center of Full
ton county. The cost of this was
$4,000. Lewiston and Canton
both put many thousands into
their county seat campaigns that
year.
The arrangements now making
are expected to end the ancient
feud.

SAVED A TRAIN

Washington, Ind, Nov. 10
a tramp saved an express train
from being wrecked by dynamite
a short distance east of Mitchell,
Ind. He found enough dynamite
and nitro glycerine placed on the
track to blow the engine to pieces
as soon as it struck it. Having
no other mode of signalling he
ran to the nearest switch, tore off
the lamp and returned and sig
nailed the approaching train. AS
he did so he was shot at by the
wreckers and was found uncon-
scious by the trainmen. The Of
ficers of the b. & o. Railway are
inclined to doubt the tramp's
story, as they have no Informal
ton of his being wounded nor
his having shown any dynamite.
However, they ordered blood
hounds to the scene and will in
vestigate the matter.

there were ten (1O) abortions here on
the Agricultural College Farm, and
but three (3) calves were dropped on
time and lived.
y In January, 1890, at the suggestion
of Mr.. A. l. Hayward. we obtained

Gentlemen: I had doubts about
Kow-Kure increasing the flow of
milk. To make test weighed the
milk. After giving the medicine for
three days this cows milk increased
2 pounds, 1 ounce, and a gradual
increase through the week until she
had gained 234 pounds per day. This

the medicine as she did before. con-

Dear Sirs: We have been using
Kow-Kure and can heartily recon-

condition and as a general regulator.
One of our cows had been securing
badly and was so weak she could
hardly walk. Kow-Kure has brought
her around in good shape. Another
cow has large bunch in her udder.
We have been giving her the medicine
but two days and notice that the
bunch is growing less. We think
Kow-Kure is all you claim for it.
Our cows are in much better shape
since we commenced using it.
