be laid out, altered or discontinued by
committees from the two boards. of
supervisors acting for their respective
boards, and these town line roads shall
be divided into districts, salloting to
each township as wholly belonging to
it sections which will require like ex-
penditure to construct and keep in re-
pair. Roads between town and city or
village shall be arranged for between
supervisors and town or village coun-
Gil. Appeals from board of SUPER

William Hatch returned this week
from the Klondike. He and Geo.
Whittemore were spending the winter
in the interior when their supplies be-
gan to run low and Mr.. Hatch decided
to come out. He missed r. F. McClel-
Ian at Seattle, the boats carrying the
two passing a short distance out of the
harbor. Mr.. Hatch says the party
have some excellent claims staked out
and all feel certain that they have
found gold in paying quantities.
They were somewhat late in arriving
on the ground and therefore many OF
the best claims were taken, but thew
feel sure enough of the success of their
prospecting to be willing to return and
work them during the summer. He
will return in a few days to join his
companions in the frozen north.

The creamery meeting was not very
we'll attended last Saturday and there
is danger that the proposition will fall
through. Some appear to think that
because the merchants offered to give
the company a bonus OF $500 there is
danger of the farmers being robbed by
the trades people. There was moth
ing in the offer Of the bonus which
would make it imperative for the
farmer to trade a cents worth in the
town unless he wanted to and could do
just as we'll here as anywhere else.

Some Of the relatives of Mrs. Bobo,
whose death was recorded in these
columns last week, applied to Coroner
Tarbox for an inquest. It was claimed
that she died from the effects of an
operation, but as the evidence they
produced was very vague and as the
body had been in the grave for more
than week and probably so badly de-
composed that it would be impossible
to perform a satisfactory autopsy, the
request was not granted. s:. : T..

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity.
 Catarrh being constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treat ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucas surfaces of the sys- tenn, thereby destroying the founda- tion of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprletors have so much faith in it's curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials

JoE whEELER,s BOSTON SWORD.

Upon his return to Washington from Michigan, General Wheeler found awaiting him the handsome sword presented by k. w. Klns- ley Post No. 113, G. A. R., of Boston, before whose members the general delivered an address on Decoration day. Accompany ing the weapon was letter in winch emphasis was laid on the implications to be drawn from the appearance of an ex-Confederate in an assemblage of Massachusetts veterans. General Wheeler in re- ply has written to the chairman of the Memorial day reception com mittee, in part, as follows: "No event in my life has clustered about it more pleasant memories and charming associations than my visit to Boston and the Mem orial day of 1899. For the boun- tiful courtesies extended to my daughters and to myself on that occasion, l beg you will except and tender to his exccllency, the governor of your commonwealth, and the mayor of your city my profound thanks. That a wearer of the gray should, after these long years, receive so grand tes- timonial from the wearers of the blue, proves that the nation is in- deed reunited, and 1t shall be my pride to hold your gift as the token that the union of the states is indeed. in the words of your immortal son.

Municipal Philanthropy.

Mayor Jones of Toledo has organized a company to buy the gas plant of that city and operate it in the interest of the city. It is stated that if his com pany obtains the plant it will turn all the profits of operation into the city treasury, and if there should be any loss the company will bear it. This IS remarkable sort of philanthropy, if the reports lbout it are true. Mayor Jones says he desires to put the gas works as nearly as possible on the basis of municipal ownership, If his expert ment is a success It will open new channel for wealthy men to dispose of their riches in the interest of the people. and one that offers great possi- billties in addition to founding hospitals and universities and libraries and art galleries, rich men can devote some of their wealth to the purchase of municipal lighting, water and trans portation system, to be turned over to the city government and operated in the interests of all the people. It would serve the double purpose of reducing the cost of these necessities of city life and also of diminishing the taxes which property owners are called on to pay
 No form of philanthropy would bene- fit a greater mum Der of people, and what a monument to the generosity of the rich bcnefactor could thus be erected. Every water plug or gas meter or street car of plant thus donated to city should bear plate with an inscription something like this: "In honor of John Smith, who bought this system and gave it to the people. 1t is not likely, however, that advocate of municipal ownership will place much dependence on this method of recovering for the use of the people the franchises which have been given to corporations City Star.

A H0MELY MANS HANDICAP.

An unkind Northwest Missouri editor intimates that the absence of pictures of Dave Ball from the columns of the country press lies in the fact that the Pike county aspirant dosen't dare to take chances in a beauty contest with the pulchritudinous Dockery for the Democratic gubernational nomination.

ThE COPPER TRusT.

"The copper trust is making itself felt in England. It has put up the price of copper so high that the Birmingham manufacturers arc refusing orders and turning off workmen by the hundred. Even the British government will order no more copper cartridges until the price is let down. This shows how trusts can bring indus try to a deadlock.
 The foregoing from the Post Dispatch, of St. Louis, is pointer showing that those holding copper prospects near Mena should allow no time to be wasted in getting them developed, and that the cop per trust does not get possession of them.

ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.

Governor Stanley is enjoying the governor business, for he is having a chance to try all the things he has for years thought he would do if he were governor. It has long been a custom to com mute sentences of imprisonment i'll Kansas in accordance with the good behavior of the prisoner
 that is, 1t has been done within the discretion of the governor. But Governor Stanley has introduced system of conditional pardons, releasing q man on his pledge to abstain from liquor and loafng, to seek and hold employment. and report his whereabouts regularly to the warden of the penitentiary. In the first case to which the method was applied the employers from whom the man had stolen signed the petition for clemency and offered to re-cmploy him. That IS genuine prison reform, and it is to be hoped that Gov ernor Stanley may be able to ap- ply it in many other worthy cases. The difficulty will be for blm to take the time needed to examine eases properly. Kansas City Star.
