Free were granted licenses as victuallers,
subject to the usual conditions.
Alderman Ilsley at this point, raised a
question that created considerable dis
cussion. He said that he with others of
the board had signed one of these vict-
ualler's bonds before the licenses were
granted. He raised some objection to
this method of procedure.
Alderman Rounds said it seemed to
him this was the way things had been
done by the aldermen right along.
The bonds were laid aside pending the
satisfactory report of the city marshal on
the licenses.

Hard Position to Fill.

The appointment of County Superin-
tendent j. B. Maloney to the Office of
Clerk of the Circuit Court will leave a
vacancy in the county Offices that will
be exceedingly hard to fill. The de-
parting superintendent was eminently
fitted for the position he. held and it
will be very hard to find person SO
we'll equipped naturally for the posi-
ton. But there are other reasons that
promise to give the county board con-
siderable trouble in selecting man for
the place. The state law provides
that the county superintendent must
have a state certificate and it is hardly
thought that such a man can be found
for the position. Notwithstanding all
these difficulties candidates are already
bobbing up in various parts OF the
county who are willing to do the
county the favor of filling Mr..
Maloney's unexpired term.

MRS. COOPER DEAD.
Mother of the Racine Congressman Ex-
pires in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Persis Allen
Cooper, wife of DIR. j. FL. Cooper, of
Burling ton, Wis, and daughter of the
late John Allen, one of Cook county's
early settlers, died Wednesday at her
home, 667 Washington boulevard. She
leaves four daughters Mrs. Florence
Hall, of Burlington, Wis; Mrs. Lucius
Perkins, of Colorado Springs; Miss
Jeanette Cooper and Evelyn Cooper,
of Chicago; and one son, Henry Allen
Cooper, of Racine, Wis, representative
in congress from that state. Mrs.
Cooper was a sister of Mrs. James
Frake, of the board of education of this
city, and of Jesse M. Allen, formerly of
Chicago. She was woman of excep-
tional qualities of mind and of rarely
beautiful character, and was universally
beloved. The funeral services will
be held in Burlington, Wis, on Thurs
day of the present week.

ARE TOO FASCINATING.
Woman Breaks Of Intended Marriage On
Account of Kenosha Man.

A strange story has been brought to
light on the north side which has in
volved one of the we'll known young
men of the city in a rather peculiar
romance. About a week ago young
lady came to this city with the evident
purpose of being married to travel
ing man with whom she had been en-
gagged for several years.
just why Kenosha should have been
chosen for the event is not stated, but
the further Developments in the case
seem to show that it was the direct
work of Cupid.
When the young lady reached this
city she met young gentleman whom
she had known some time before in
the east and it was only a short time
until the old times were revived with a
large number of additions. In the
meantime the young lady sent he1
wouldbe husband to Milwaukee, prom
Using to join him there in few days
but the days have gone by and the
bridegroom still awaits her in Milwau-
kee.
The young people in Kenosha, low
ever, have not wasted their time, and
there is a strong probability that the
man in Milwaukee is waiting for the
woman who will never come.

Not for Eyerything e.

But if you have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will find Swamp
Root just the remedy you need. Peo-
pie are not apt to get anxious about
their health soon enough. If you are
i" not quite well" or half sick" have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back are also convlnc-
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing tina
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulflls every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp-Root give new life
and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys
it acts as a tonic for the entire consti-
tuition. IF you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar,
or by mentioning the TELEGRAPH
COURIER and sending your address to

great discovery sent to you free by

Colleges, Churches and Politics.

From ocean to ocean the land is dot
ted with colleges and universities, the
foundations whereof were laid in faith
and selfsacrifice To-day youth sets
forth TO study in one of them. Do his
parents know what he will believe when
he graduates Can they guess what his
ideal will be then? No; and that helps
to explain the look of anxiety they wear
at the parting. He may return believ-
ing that the triumph of believing Is TO
believe nothing His IDEAL of life may
be to stride before the multitude in pad
ded breeches, with a shield on his nose,
ball under his arm, and be pictured so
in the newspapers Or it may be TO put
on a white vest and apron and go be
hind the bar, where tips can easily be
had, and, properly used, be productive
of much money. Is it not so?
From ocean to ocean the land is dot
ted with churches, and the richest of
them, those with amplest resources, are
abandoning the field which most de
mands their service to the Salvation
army, TO the American Volunteers, to
this and that and the other more or less
responsible or irresponsible organization
willing to enter it. Now and then the
preacher of costly church leaves be
hind him the luxuries of worship and
rents hall, that he may reach the
masses, who listen TO him out of curl
osity, after which he goes his way, and
they go theirs.
In politics we adopt one policy at one
election, and at the next we see it over
thrown. To-day we are all enthusiasm
for cause; tomorrow perhaps we shall
despise it. To-day we glorify man as
the soul of patriotism, and tomorrow
we denounce him. What do we see?
Nothing We look for light, but be
hold darkness; for brightness, but we
walk in obscurity. We grope for the
wall like the blind, yea. we grope as
they that haye no eyes; we stumble at

man of sense make head or tail of the
principle according to which thousands
and tens of thousands of ballots were

TIE CITIZEN.
Steel Wagon Tracks on Country
Roads.

1t is the narrow tires of heavy farm
and freight wagons that do the most
serious damage to country roads,
especially during or after heavy rains,
or while the frost Is coming out of the
ground in the spring. a single wagon
track, but slightly depressed below the
surface, forms a channel in which the
water will stand on its level and down
which it will run on the hills, soften
ing or cutting out the material of the
roadway, and preparing way for the
traffic to grind out a couple of deep
and unsightly ruts. These results are
seen at their worst in country where
the soil is alluvial or clayey; but in any
country and on any road except first
class macadam the destruction of the
surface by formation of ruts is only a
question of time. The adoption OF
| road tired wagons, and care in filling
the ruts, would mitigate the evil; but
as things go to-day in most country
districts, these remedies are'conspicuous
by their absence.
The United States Departm ent OF
Agriculture is carrying out expert
ments with view to saving country
roads from this quick deterioration
The device consists of laying down in
the center of the road two fiat steel
tracks to the gage of the average farm
wagons The steel rails, for they are
nothing less, are to be 7-16 inch thick
and an inverted trough shape. They
will be bedded in grav el lad il
trenches, and they will be tied together
at the joints and in the middle. On
all hills the rails will be slightly CORFU
gated or roughened to enable horses tC
take a good foothold. In addition tC
the durability of road made on these
lines, 1T is claimed that sucf
road would reduce the tractiv'
resistance from forty pounds per ton OF
macadam surface to eight pounds pei
ton on the trough rails.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
rails and fittings for short stretch of
road will be at the rate of about 50, 50t
per mile; though line several,miles IL
length could be built for about 81 .OOC
per mile This estimate is for a track
which would weigh about 100 tons pei
mile: track for lighter traffic, weigh
ing about fifty tons per mile, could be
built for half the above named sum
These figures represent the cost of ma
terial only the grading and track lay
ing not being included.
As regards the value of such road
there may be some districts where it:
construction and maintenance would
be more economical that of first-class
macadam, but we doubt whether il
would prove to be so in cases where the
materials of macadam construction
are within easy reach As regards the
increased hauling capacity of the steel
tracked road, there is no doubt that il
would be greatly increased, through
scarcely, we imagine, to the extent
five hundred per cent-claimed by the
advocates of the system.
