Maine own one-tifth of the property o.
the state, and that one-fifth of the prop
erty has paid the entire expense of
building and maintaining the roads of
the state, which are just as necessary to
the people who live in towns, and the
people of other occupations than farm
ing, as they are to the farmer. Concern
ing New York, he said that there the
farmers WI only one-fOurteenth OF
the property of the state, and that every
farmer has been making roads for Il
other men to travel on, and he is getting
tired of doing it. He is now about tC
stop it, and he finds the people of the
cities and large towns, the manufactur-
ing people and the commercial people,
ready to bear their share of the eX-
pense of improving the country roads.
The only drawback is that the farmers
themselves have been afraid to let any
change be made in the road laws of the
country, for they imagined that the
people of the cities design to impose
heavier burdens on them, instead OF
being ready to help them carry exist
ing ones.
By degrees all classes of the people
will begin to better understand each
other on the subject and will get closeS
together. 1t was not strange, at first,
that country people should be supicioas
of city people who took the trouble te
tell them how much they would be
benefited by better roads-it was natu-
raj for them to think that such philan-
thropy was not wholly disinterested.
But as it becomes daily more evident
that all classes. trades and occupa-
tions will reap the advantages resulting
from improving the highways, that TIE
ultimate burden will not be increased
and that all are ready to share it, the
movement will acquire 40 impetus that
will insure its future succeSs.-Good

Lake CRYSTAL. Mimi. july 3lst. 1897

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 5th, 1892, my little boy, Just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into a pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such a manner that he re-
manned doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ng all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing OF his stomach.
The sores were incident and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant. My
attention was then called to Aliens Ulcerine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any,
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once: 1t at
once aroused the sores to action and stlmu-
lated a healthy discharge. We kept the
boys strength up with a preparation of
beef's blood and wine. and in about two
months he was well on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. 1t
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. | believe
that Aliens Uterine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment. 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be-
gan to use the Salve. Signed, H. Z. WOODS,

THE MARKETS.
MnII ktrcciRoyicM

New York, May 26.-Thc movements of
prices worthy of particular notice in the
stock market today wus confined to few
special stocks. as was also a large part
of the activity in the trading The ma
jority OF the list was somewhat dull and
neglected. The fact of the matter is that
the market has been expecting for some
time a sensational naval victory and its
failure to reipcnd to the mere prosaic re"
suits of successful naval strategy is dis
appointment to the bulls and gives some
encouragement to the bears. There were
however, very positive elements cf
strength in the market which served to HIT
prices at one time quite materially above
last nights close. The mainstay of the
market was Rock Island which rose at
one time 2ia points The local traction
stocks enjoyed their season of strength
as well. Great Northern preferred rose
an additional points to Ill, Illinois steel
mounted over 4 points with subsequent
reaction. The reactionary tendency CEN
tered in Manhattan which was active and
fevcrish all day and fell an extreme ga
points with n net loss Of nearly a point.
Metropolitan Street railway sympathized
in this movement declining points from
the top and 112 net. This weakness COM
bned with late profit taking in ROCK
Island unsettled the market and almost
wiped out the early gains in the general
list. Net changes are in consequence
small. Total sales of stocks today were
