the local agent for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st Paul, has been written about a
good deal, but somehow the accounts of
past days are somewhat garbled. To
straighten some of the facts he has told
his story. He says that the road, then
more of an experiment than business
proposition, reached Milton the last
week in December, 1852. Edward Bar
bour, now of Milwaukee, was the first
agent, serving one month, and Mr.. Tom
klnS was MS nelper. Mr. IOmklnS SerV-

became agent in 1856, among them be-

manager of the Santa Fe route. Mr.
Tomkins has been agent of the company
nearly forty three years, and is active at
70 years of age, devoting his time to the
company's affairs, working at his desk
several hours each day. Notwithstand-
ing published accounts to the contrary,
Mr. Tomkins says he has always had an
annual pass for himself and wife and
both have used it as occasion required.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced itincura-
bic. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
