The organization of a good roads as
scciation i'm any city is movement to-
ward reformation. The people who
live beyond the city limits have more
interest in this matter than the town
people. but nearly all do more or less
driving or wheeling, while every family
- interested in the cheap transporta-
''on of farm produce.
The farmers have more to gain by the
Improvement OF highways than any
other large class of people. Preachers.
doctors. mail drivers and travelling
agents are all small classes who indi-
Hdually have large concern i'm the
state of the roads. but collectively do
not suffer privations at all comparable
To that which the farmers endure hV
rcaSouc 81 bad roads. The produce which
the farmer sends 10 market is hauled to
town or taken to the railroad station
over the country highway. The goods
he purchases for his own use must bc
conveyed part of the distance To his
home over this route. lie drives his
family To church, or To town. or visits
the neiChbors over such roads as are
provided in his district. II the road is
when he is caiting produce. and can
only travel at a slow pace when hc
drives. His toll is increased when he
works; his pleasure diminished when
he takes his pleasure; his horses suffer:
his wagons and carriages have shorter
lifetime than If his district were pro-
vided with n firm and smooth highway.
IL might be possible To compute the az

consequences of loss of temper and OF

city shares the trouble. When IL is

A PIONEER SHOEMAKER.
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EIGHTYHE YEARS OLD.
NM James MCMen Of Champaign Has Followed the ShOemaEeTs
Trade All His la-EVey Day His Bench Working with Appa
enythe Same VigOr as Young Mana Sketch Of HSLife

Az the advanced age Of eighty-fve years,
James MoMillen, Of 1l2 West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham
paipn Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form rs as familiar
ON the streets as that of any citizen Of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMlllen has tol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vig0r he CONF
mnnded when he was q young man.
He has little shop ON North Wright street
I'm the vicinity of the University Of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students Of that institution
About a year ago Mr.. McNilleu was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was a
sufferer but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again. and they we're more surprised
when he told them the cause Of his recovery.
There was no small amount Of local inter-
est in his case, and q reporter visited him D.,
TO haze him relate the story.
q" feel" said the spry old gentleman,
" that I owe my life to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like a
year ago it appeared 10 me that was almost

disease Of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and nhamed

"I read in the newspaper testimonials from

it would do me no harm TO give them a trial.

felt the benefit of them almost as soon ns !

os black as tar and / noticed at the same
.lne that the pain and soreness were leave
ing my kidneys.
"a few days later the swelling began to go
out Of my ankles, and No the end of five
weeks it had entirely disappeared, taking
with It that terrible scurf which had formed
ON the bottoms Of my feet and caused me SO
much trouble, / continued to gather my
lost strength, and at the end Of six weeks
felt entirely recovered and resumed my work

Mr.. MCMillen's residence on West WASH

from his shop but nearly every day he walks
the entire distance, morning ami evening"
and he could not do this if that swelling
still existed.
Mr.. McMillen hns no backwardness in talk
ing Of the merits Of Or. Williams Pink Pills.

AGAINST THE GOLD DEM OORATg

Chairman Price Unwilling to Nomi-
nate Any Man who Opposed Bryan,
ana Is Upheld in This view 10y Nearly
All the Members of the Committee.
Trenton N. j.. June 17.-The Demo-
cratic state committee met i'm this city
yesterday Sie principal reason for
the meeting was the desire Of state
Chairman Price TO consult the nem-
bers of the committee about the selec-
ton of the Democratic election boards.
These election boards, under the law.
are composed of four persons appoint
ed by the governor upon the nomina-
tion of the chairman of the two lead
ing parties MIR. Price expressed him
I self unwilling te nominate any one who
did not support Bryan for president
last fall. He was upheld i'm this view
by nearly all Of the members of the
committee.
State Committeeman Budd, Of Bur
lington county, was not present, but
he endorsed the reappointment of sam
uel Temple a gold man, for one of the
two Democratic members of the Bur
lington county election board. DR..
Conrow, the defeated candidate for
| congress last fall, and a radical silver
man. sent a protest against Semple's
reappointment The matter was re-
ferred to Chairman Price, to make
such appointment as he thought prop
| er. He is not at all likely to name
/ Semple.
| There is also a protest against the
reappointment on the Passaic county
| board of John II. Demott, another gold
man. and the same action was taken
/ as in Semple's case. The county cleo
| tion officers for all the other counties
We're agreed upon without friction.
/ and i'm most cases the old officials were
/ retained. The committee received the
| resignation Of Richard ]. Byrnes as
state committeeman for Atlantic coun-
! ty, and elected John r. French. of
! Hammonton, in his place
1t was decided TO hold another meet
ing, and while no action was taken /,
was made clear that it is the purpose
of the committee i'm due time to pre-
pare an address to the voters of the
state in time for the coming campaign
The address win be confined to state
issues. The monetary question will be
avoided. The sentiment of the COM
mittee yesterday was that the gold
men would be welcomed back to the
party fold as individuals but no move
would be made to welcome them bacl
as body, and that they would have
to take a back seat for the present il
the matter Of managing party affairs
The silver men are very much in tn
majority in the state committee, an,
did all the talking.
E. f, c. Young, the Jersey Cit,
banker who is a member Of the com
mittee, but who took no part in tn,
last campaign for Bryan. was no
present at yesterdays meeting. CoIone
Price, the chairman of the committee
and Senator DAILY were both aggres-
sive, and while they were disposed tc
receive the gold men back in the party
they would not concede that gold mer
who voted for Mckinley were entitled
