BEARING ON TAX TITLES.
The New Law Is One That will Do Away
With Much Trouble.


The legislature has passed one very
important law 1t will result in put
ting an end to much expensive litiga-
ton. Heretofore tax certificates and
tax deeds have been held to be void
if any mistakes or irregularit7 occurred
in the proceedings on the sale or
issuance of tax certificates or deeds
Thousands of tax certificates or
deeds have been held void by the
courts for some technical defect or
omission in the tag proceedings ante
rior to the certificate or deed. But by
chapter 215, law OF 1897, it is expressly
declared that no sale certificate or con-
veyance shall be deemed invalid fol
any errors or irregularities in any Of
the tax proceedings not effecting the
ground work of the tax; nor shall any
county be liablesto.paY or refund any
money by reason of any such mistake
or irregularity. This will tend to
strengthen tax titles and break down
the network Of technicalities by which
they have so often been overthown.

They Have Raised $50 Toward the Build

ing of a Bicycle Path to Berryvil1e.
Says the Racine Journal: 1T was
announced several days ago that the
bicyclists of Kenosha were hard at
work building a bicycle track, or path,
as far north as Berryville. Racine
lovers Of the wheel propose to meet the
Kenosha brethren half way. Last night
a large and enthusiastic meeting OF
wheelmen was held at the offices of the
Racine Wagon & Carriage company
a: the preliminary steps were taken
to commence the building of path to
meet the Kenosha boys at Berryyille
Fifty members subscribed ST. apiece at
this meeting and great enthusiasm
prevailed. 1t was decided to hold a
general meeting at the same place on
the evening of May 3, to which every
bicycle rider in the city is invited.
This is the right step and spirit to
show, and it is hoped that the meeting
will be largely attended and that sew
eral hundred dollars will be raised for
the good Of the cause. A path from
this city to Kenosha would prove one of
the most popular routes in this state
1t is intended to build the path -four
feet wide, Of cinders, and first class in

WHEELS IN A RUNAWAY.
The Mishaps of Young Man Left to Guard
the Rear End of a Load

The United States Express team ran
away Thursday evening about 6 o'clock
and left Sterling bicycles to mark its
route. Jake Davis, the driver, had
driven up to the factory for load OF
wheels put up in the crates and had
just put the last one on and started off
with FL. NJ Ayres on the rear of the
wagon to look after things, when it oc
Cured to him that there was still
something that he had forgotten. He
accordingly stopped the horses and
went back to the factory on his err
rand In the meanwhile the team took
fright at something and started down
the road at a break neck pace. Mr..
Ayres was in the wagon completely
overwhelmed with wheels. Like the
" six hundred" ''cycles to right Of
him, cycles to left of him, cycles in
front of him" were pitching and tum-
bling The pace of the horses waxed
faster and so did the position of Mr..
Ayres' feet in the bottom of the wagon,
so fast they could not be moved. The
team turned into Market street and
approached the railroad. Wheels were
topping off on all sides, but still had
Mr.. Ayres held down. A locomotive
whistled and things took on a serious
aspect The pile of wheels swayed a
little, then all came to ground with
Ayres in the midst. There was con-
siderable mud at that juncture. After
trying to stop the team, but in vain, it
was allowed to go on until it drew
peaceably up at the States Express Of
fee. Mr.. Ayres proceeded to drug
glst's to have the blood washed from
his head. The blood proved to be mud
and no damage was found.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: ''For six years | have been
sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. G,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re.
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone. though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease aud forces it out perma'
nently.

A STORY OF COUNTRY ROADS
A Mud Hole Makes Two Men Get out and
Let the Girl Drive Away.

Let the Girl Drive Away.
The country roads are still a source
of tribulation tothe Wayfarer. Numer-
Gus stories are told of the incidents and
accidents that befall those unwary
ones who for the purposes of either
business or pleasure, ride into the city
or country. Only day or so ago a
couple of young gentlemen and one
young lady were riding along county
road when they suddenly came upon
long drawn out mud hole. 1t soon
became apparent that one of the men
must get out. SO out he gets, and the
carriage goes on for another short
distance and stops. The whip was
applied with no other effect than to
make the horse rear AID plunge, and
incidentally, the man swear. Finally
the other man got out, and the lady
drove majestically through the mire,
and at the end waited half an hour by
the watch for her escorts to wade
through the mud and join her. An
other story says that young man
having his best girl out for a drive,
took to the country, and had proceed
ed quite considerable distance
through)next to impossible roads, be-
fore he discovered that the hour was
quite late. On being admonished by
the young lady to hasten, lest her
father make trouble, he tried to put
the horse into a trot The horse re-
sponded for a moment, and then
stopped entirely, too exhausted to go
further. After some debate and very
much anxiety, they concluded that she
would drive home alone as speedily as
possible, and helm the meantime would
seek shelter with a friendly farmer.
The young lady succeeded in reaching
the city at a late hour, but latest
reports say nothing of the man.

Mr.. James Rowland, of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. 4 few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went to the store and secured
a bottle of it, His wife did not APP
prove of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at
first, bnt nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in an hours time was
able to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much good.
