TO WIDEN THE HARBOR.
A Conference Held With Congressman
Cooper

A conference was held by several of
the business men of the city with Con-
gresham FL. A. Cooper Tuesday even
ing at the residence of George A. Yule,
on Durkee avenue, on the subject Of
the Kenosha harbor.
It will be remembered that when the
engineer filed his report on the condi-
ton of our harbor with the proper
authorities in Washington, he stated
that the necessities of the commerce Of
this city were not sufficient to make a
larger appropriation than that recon-
mended necessary. This report was
very evidently a crippled affair, and
exceedingly lame, for the reason that
the lake commerce of Kenosha never
will be much larger than it is until the
harbor is put into such condition that
the commercial boats of the lake can
get into it. The object of this confer
ence was, therefore, to call Mr..
Cooper's attention to these facts and to
secure his cooperation ia the direc-
ton of giving the authorities true
understanding of the existing condi-
ton and the necessity of so fixing the
harbor that it can be used.
Mr.. Cooper promised his cooper
alton, provided the city would furnish
the land which would be required for
making the harbor of sufficient width
to. make it available for the purposes
of the city. The old north pier is in a
very rotten condition, and it would be
worse shan folly to rebuild it at it's
present location. AS long as ithas to be
rebuilt anyway congress will be urged
to put it at least 100 feet further north
and have all the land between that
point and the present pier dredged out.
A special meeting of the council is to
be held to arrange if possible for the
securing of the land needed for the
widening of the harbOr. It is believed
that this can be easily secured.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Gratefu Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign Of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

ARE WE GOVERNED BY RAIL
ROADS?

''Well, we are all governed by railroads
in every way, and we had best have our
time agree with theirs"
Thus spoke State Senator few days
ago in advocacy OF bill to fix a stand
ard of time.
Did he speak the truth?
The answer to this question vitality
concerns the welfare of the State. There
is no question whatever that since Lit
tlefeld and Swepson and their allies
owned tine Legislature Of 1868, and had
the ignorant and corrupt scoundrels who
composed the majority In that body to
vote them bonds by the million, the
railroads exert an undue influence upon
legislation. Under Democratic rule they
have not been permitted to steal and pill
lage. But still their influence has too
often been felt adversely to the best in
tests of the State.
Political conventions of all parties
have more or less been tainted by the
large number of dead4head delegates
transported on passes. Legislators have
been silenced by accepting favors at
their hands Popular lawyers have been
retained for political influence. Infuen-
tial factors in all parties have been court
ed, cajoled, favored, helped, praised, and
assisted by free passes to strengthen their
influence. 1t has almost come to pass
that certain railroad nabobs claim to
possess the power ''to kill and make
alive" to elevate their favorite and TO
defeat men who are not subservient 10
their wishes.
The time has come to call a halt.
If the people are sovereign, let them
rule.
II eve are all governed by the rail
roads," let US quit the sham of paying
legislators TO come to Raleigh to carry
out the decree of the railroad kings. Let
US make deed in fee simple to the capt
tai to these modern kings, retire from the
pretense Of governing, and let the real
king ascend the throne.
