ABOUT a year ago there was a pc
tition handed in to the council signed
by almost all of the residents on Prairie
ave. requesting the council not to mar
row the street between curbs when it
was paved. The petition was granted
without dissenting vote; what then is
the reason for bringing up the question
again at this time? 1t seems to us the
only question to be settled in regard to
paving Prairie ave. is not the width
but the kind of pavement wanted.
The pavement now in favor seems to be
brick, although nothing definite has
been heard from the Prairie ave.

A STRAIGHT COURSE
Pointed Out to Those Who Have Catarrh
in ANY Form.

You have got chronic catarrh, have
you? You have had it some time
And could not find a cure9 Well,
there are thousands more like you in
this country. Ii the slightest vestige
of the catarrh remains over during the
hot weather it will begin to make itself
felt now. If you want to really get
cured this is the way to do it. Get a
bottle of Pe-ru-na and take table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. When you have continued this
for thirty days sit down and write a
letter to DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Tell him exactly your symptoms; how
long you have had catarrh; what ef
feet the medicine has had on you. He
will answer your letter promptly, tell
ing you what to do further He will
make no charge. And if you will con-
tinue to write to the Doctor, following
faithfully the advice he will give you,
you are sure to get cured. Some cases
take longer than others. Perhaps the
average length of time it takes to cure
a genuine case of catarrh is three
months. Some get cured much quicker
than this. Stubborn eases may re-
quire longer treatment. Time or
trouble ought to be no barrier to one
afflicted with this dreadful disease.
All people who are interested in
knowing about catarrh can get an in
structively Illustrated 64-page book on
chronic catarrh in all stages and loea
ton, free of charge. The book was
written by Or. Hartman and will be
sent for short time to any address by
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio.

nnN1r narrow Prairie avenue.

DON'T narrow Prairie avenue. 1t is
Too important a street. 1t is the main
artery of the city connecting with all
the country to the west of us; in fact
it is the only street leading into the
city from that direction. As such it
holds a place of great Importance, and
Enstead of being narrowed it should be
Ridened if anything When that
street is paved and placed in first class
condition, as it is bound to be in the
near future, it would be great source
Of ANNOYANCE. if not Of positive discom-
fort. if it should be cut down. If a
vote were to be taken among the citi-
zens today we do not believe there
would be a vote big enough on the
side of narrowing that thoroughfare to
make it worth the while to count.
Don't do it by any means. It would
be positive step backward. The
CITY cannot afford it.

KENOSHA county has another reason
for congratulating itself upon the re-
election to the important office OF
district attorney of A. E. Buckmaster.
He has again demonstrated his right
and title to the office by his tracing of
the murderer of Mrs. Mohr. That the
murderer is so bound up in the tolls of
the law that he will probably hang in
Illinois instead of having been caught
Immediately after the commission OF a
murder in this county is not due to any
lack of vigilance or astuteness on the
part of the district attorney. Many
another william has stayed longer out
side the hands ofthe law and committed
greater depredations than has this
man Lang. The point of Mr.. Buck
masters record we wish to bring out is
the fact that he has left no stone I'M
turned to find clew in a case where
not the slightest clew seemed to exist
and he has found the man. Imme-
diately after the murder was reported
TO him he went to Somers and sci
agencies at work at once having nc
other object than to bring before the
bar Of justice one who had wantonly
taken a human life. It has takel
nearly four months to ferret him out
In che meantime the fiend has com
mitted three other murders as atrociou
as that of Mrs. Mohr. Now he i
before the bar of justice, and Will
ne commend Mr.. Buckmaster for hi
work, we cannot help but hope tina
che Illinois officials. will see to it tha
he gets all the law Allows.

THE COFFEE WAR.

Local Merchants Feel the Force of the
Trouble in the East.
The " coffee war" now raging in the
east between the coffee kings is having
it's effect on the local grocers, as it
causes the sale of the same grade OF
coffee to the retailer at least two cents
a pound less, but applies mostly to the
cheap grade of goods.
We make very little money on COT

that reason this small reduction to US

The Outsider.

Isn't always the favorite
Runs first home in race,
Sometimes rank outsider
Will gain the winning place;
He mayn't bear well-known colofs,
Or brilliant record claim,
He leaves them in the homestretch
And gets there just the same.
Men are much like horses,
They run the race of life,
The last away at fagfan
Oft conquers in the strife:
He may'nt be social lion
Nor bow at fashions fame,
He's just plain outsider
He gets there all the same.

AN EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED.
A Fast Flyer on the Kansas Pacific Road
Ditched by a Washout-Two Trainmen
Killed

Denver, Colo, August 3.-The fast flyer
on the Kansas Pacific railway was wreck
ed at daylight this morning, about forty
miles east of Denver. Two trainmen were
killed outright and a number of passen-
gers injured, none of them fatally. The
killed were: John Ward, engineer, Den
yer; w. B. Harrington, baggagemaster,
Kansas City.
The wreck was caused by a washout.
The heavy rains of the night flooded the
streams and carried out a portion of a
small bridge which spans Comanche
creek, between Byers and StraSburg. The
train was on time and was running along
at the usual speed, when approaching the
point of accident. Without warning, the
engine plunged into the abyss, followed by
the mail and baggage car. and other cars
were piled about in confusion.
The engine was completely under
water in almost the midle of the stream
and Engineer Ward was under it. Strange
reported to be badly hurt. Instantly there
was the widest confusion. The most
severely injured passengers were riding
in the forward car. Some Of the sleeping
passengers in the Pullmans were thrown
from their berths and more or less hurt.
but none seriously. Byers, the nearest
town to the wreck, was five miles away,
and the conductor fastened to cover the
distance on foot. He arrived there at 5
O'Clock and the railway officials in Dem
yer were notified of the accident by tele-
graph. A special wrecking train with
General Manager Duell and physicians on
board started for the scene of the wreck.
The rain storm was general in the plains
region, and it is feared that many rail-
road bridges have been washed out.
