The mllo and the extraordinary effect of swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's wonderful cures or the most distressing cases.

very enjoyable visit East and North.
During her absence she visited her son
and daughter at Washington, d. C.
and her old home in Ohio, as well AS
relatives and friends fin Indiana and

a number of years one of the most
painstaking instructors in our public
school and the change of scene was of
great benefit to her.
The political boodler that blot on the
body polite, must be squelched before
another election rolls around. The
condition has become unbearable when

to furnish these men with meals,
whiskey and what not, endorse their
notes or bonds. etc. A man who will
ask these things from candidate under
those conditions is not fit to exercise the
power of franchise.
A portion of the population of River

opposed to annexation. The city coun-

Killed In a Runaway.

A runaway team, plunging madly
along caused the death last Saturday
evening of Willis Hatley tenant on the
farm of Jacob Yoes near Cross Lanes.
Hatley and his son, like many others,
had been to town that day to listen to
the addresses of the candidates and
shortly after five o clock started home
in wagon. Just after passing Col.
Yoes, residence in the East End the team
took fright and started down the in
cline at a furious rate of speed On
reaching the bottom the team left the
road and while running over the rough
ground the elder Hatley was thrown
from the wagon, the right front wheel
striking his head, crushing his skull.
The injured man remained unconscious
and died within less than 30 minutes
after the accident.

II is difficult for a newcomer to Seat
tie TO realize what change has CONG
over the place within a year. Even the
people themselves have almost forgot
ten what a transformation has taken
place SO rapidly have absorbing events
followed each other. Soon after the
fire. when the new streets were laid
out, the authorities went to the extreme
of forbidding any standards in front
of stores. 1t was not until the dull
times came on and q disposition grew
to encourage the least display Of en-
terprise that occasionally clock was
permitted TO be erected at the edge
Of the sidewalk. Stairways leading
down into Easements were rigidly Ia
booed and when on one occasion an en-
terprising barber wanted to make an
entrance to his business place in one
of the principal buildings on Second
avenue the city council was consider
ably wrought up over 1t and he had
hard work to secure permission.
Now expensive. lighted signs are to
be found along the chief avenues; the
entrance to Easements is made conven-
lent and brilliantly illuminated. The
prejudice has been entirely overcome.
no inconvenience is found by pedes-
TRANS, and new arrivals are both
amazed and delighted at the bright and
lively aspect OF the streets. 1t shows
that in building up a city 1t does not
do TO be too strait-laced. People like
brilliance in color and lighting. 1t
stimulates business and tends to give
life and animation to the scene.
The city government is to be COM
mended for It's broad and liberal policy
in this respect. Within reasonable linz
its every facility should be given to
merchants and storekeepers to extend
their trade and to make their stores
inviting. They bear a considerable
share Of the taxation: and they pay
their taxes the more willingly when
free from harassing bylaws and police
regulations.
