strokes and his army life undermined his
health and he soon found his brain, heart
and kidneys were affected. For eight
years he was with the West Chicago

creased his bronchial and asthmatlc trou-
bles. His constitution gradually but sure
ly breaking down, strange dizzy spells be
coming more frequent, he finally sought
relief in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
He said TO Il reporter: 1T was some time
about year ago when | was very poorly.
that my head was giving me a great deal
of trouble, dizzy spells, aches and queer
feelings, and then | also had strange
feeling of uncertainty in the use of my
lower limbs when walking.
"Physicians examined my condition
closely and were of the opinion that l had
all the first symptoms of locomotor ataxia.
and | believe they we're right, also last
summer | had very hard time with an
attack of tonsilitis and neuralgia, from
which l did not recover for some time. 1t
was then that L commenced to take these
Pink Pills, and had only taken few
boxes when | discovered a remarkable
change for the better in every way. The
pills seemed TO relieve me of aches and
pains, the symptoms of locOmotor ataxia
have left me entirely. and they have made
me strong and feel like myself.
Il am going to continue with the use of
the pills for the reason that having re-
lieved me of the ailments l thought had
come to stay, having been caused thirty
years ago from hardshlps in the army,
am practically rid of them and will lose
no efforts when | have the remedy at
hand to keep them rid. | am only too glad
TO tell all my friends what experience l
have had with DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and when they see the good physical con
dition | am in now, although near sixty
years of age. they will come to the same
conclusion as myself.

AS between public monopoly
and private monopoly intelli-
gent people have no hesitancy
in choosing the former. The
evils we have already suffered
should emphasize to every
thinking mind the necessity of
cities owning all their own
public utilities. There should
be a prompt facing about. No
more franchises should ever be
delegated, and those that have
been foolishly thrown away in
the past should be recovered as
promptly as circumstances

The Duluth & Southwestern
Bonds.

The project on foot to vote
bonds for the Duluth & South
western Railroad may be a good
investment. We have not had
the opportunity to know the
merits of this particular enter
prise, but in relation to the mat
ter of voting bonds there is this
to be said:
The county is expected to put
money into the enterprise and
then like private investor take
stock in exchange. So far, so
good, the county has a right to
be treated just as good as any
other investor and, we presume,
no better. But here comes the
rub. The road is mortgaged,
the mortgage is foreclosed and
the county gets nothing. That
is the record in 9999 out of
10000 such cases.
Now what is right?
Tit is proposed to give this
money to the railroad company
let the promoters say so and
come before the people with a
plain and honest proposition, so
that the men who vote for
the bonds know that they
are voting gift to the company.
In similar case a few years ago
the commissioners refused to &C.
cept the stock provided for in the
proposition, and justly, because
they knew the stock eventual y,
through foreclosure proceedings,
would become worthless, and
that the county would very
likely become liable to themselves
for an additional assessment to
pay the debt of the corporation.
If there is to be a pretense of
reciprocity in this matter let it
be gone about in a business-like
manner and in good faith. Let
the money be voted and given to
the company but let the county
have in exchange-not stock but
first mortgage bonds. We can
help the company in that way
and not do business like bloomin'
