The Good Roads Convention.

Public interest in the improvement
OF country highways is attested in Q
significant manner by the presence OF
seven hundred delegates at the good
roads convention Milwaukee. Good
roads conventions have also been held
in several Illinois towns for the dis
cussion of ways and means for secur-
ing state legislation favorable to the
building of improved highways.
As Governor Scolield said in his adj
dress Of welcome at Milwaukee, the
future prosperity of the Industrial
classes will depend not upon large
advances in prices of farm products,
but rather upon the ability to reduce
to the minimum the cost of produc.
ton. If the farmer had followed the
example set by the manufacturers
and had studied more closely the cost
per pound OF getting his products into
market we would now have much
better roads than we have.
Singularly enough the farmers are
slowest to appreciate the advantages
to be reaped from improved highways
The many defeats met by legislative
attempts to provide system Of state
aid for road building can nearly all be
traced to the opposition of the farm
ers. The Curtis good roads bill which
was introduced in the last general
assembly in this state was most
meritorious measure in that it en-
bodied the results of the experience of
those states that have made greatest
progress in road building. IL en-
braeed the principle of state co-opera-
lion in the construction of highways,
which has been found TO be the only
practical and effective plan for in
augurating system of road building
throughout state. Patches of good
roads in widely separated counties
are OF little benefit to the state as
whole. The system must be general
and comprehensive, bassed upon a
progressive plan that requires the
of certain number of
miles of roads each year
Until the farmers are willing to
give legislation of this character their
unq lalilied support very little pro-
gress in road building is possible. u

The Ballad OF The Pluskin.

When the crowd has cheered the hostile
teams aud the band has played its best:
And the roaring rooters warm the lungs
within the coolest breast;
When hat and cane and flag and feet has
marked each rolling shout
And the coin has told its little tale and the
whistle sounded out
Then the untried slippery pieskiu lies al
rest upon the ground
And silence wraps the people with expect
ancy profound,
Q the kickoff aud the tackle and the sud
/ den-footed funt.
And the stiffness OF the PLAYERS on a down.
And and the plunging and the lunging in the
swaying battles brunt,
And the megaphonic cries OF tow and gown
Now the ball comes floating downward to-
| ward the full-back's opening arms.
And he hugs it for zigzag shoot through a
host OF threatening harms;
But the clutches of the tackle Snan him
hard upon the earth
And the fumbled ball goes bobbing like a
thing OF mock and mirth:
Till the center rush bends motionless above
the resting sphere.
And the from ting lines stand statuesque in
hidden hope and fear.
The mighty mingled scrimmage works its
arms ana legs and teet
Heaplng heads and twisted bodies in a choas
most complete,
But FIVE yards is Journey for head that
isn't stone.
And harder than wooden wall Of human
bone,
So the bleaehers lift their megaphones 10
breathe bracing cheer
Ana the rooters' Hold en- Hold en-
smltes the players anxious ear.
Then out from the mass of strugelers like
comet from its course
SHOOTS runner on tangent with cata
pultic force
And the field sreads fair before him as the
path TO paradise,
And MS soul leaps up to win il ut the dear
est sacrifices
For he hears the yelling nennle ana The
mighty stride behind.
AID ne hopes 70 live forever in the football
heart enshrined.
But his strfding hot pursuer on the fve-yard
holds him down.
And his hope burns low within him as he
clutches for renown:
Net ne twists and squirms and struggles
mid the trumpet's blast
Ana the touchdown with his nerveless hands
he reaches at the last:
And his head whirls Ikea pin wheel and his
eyes bewldered close
AS the chorus of the people lifts his name
above his foes.
Q the touchdown ana the goal kick ana the
sudden-footed punt
And the Stiffness of the players on n down.
And the punging and and the lunping in the
sWaying battle brunt
ANA the megaphonic cries of town and gown
We copy the above poem from the
Witness of last week. 1t was written
by II. S. Fiske formerly teacher in
The Platteville Normal, now of the
University Of Chicago.

ing. Apparently it was not long
before a feeling Of unity reigned and
sense OF mutual cooperation pre-
vailed. When worship began the
house was well filled both in the fore
and afternoon meeting. Rev. Mund-
henke's main discourse was an able
sermon on Agall. Go. 1t was in
structive, edifying and stimulating.
The applications to mission work were
apt. Rev. Wakes main sermon was
preached from the words, 20 Lord
revive thy work in the midst of the
years" Hub 3-2, and proved that he
is gifted young man full of fervor
and zeal. lie spoke with great force
emphasizing the urgent necessity Of
aiding the great mission cause at this
time. He also indicated wildly that
while mission work at large demands
TO be up held, those present also had
special work TO sustain. These dis
courses and other addresses were well
received, marked attention and deep
interest was throughout manifested
by young and old.
The meetings were to large extent
beautiiied and elevated by the singing
of choir composed of young people
of the congregation, a number of
young people from Rev. Waalke's
church and the Rev. Mundhenke, who
also presided at the organ. The
women of the church, together with
their outside lady friends, did their
share to make the feast acceptable.
They supplied all present with sub
stantial and delicious refreshments.
Much honor is due them. The col
lections taken up were such as har-
monious and animating gathering
would naturally contribute. 1t is
hoped that none went away without
having been profited.

OCCASIONAL,

Last week a man who is working
this part Of the state was in Lancas-
ter taking orders for the Demorest
patterns, (said patterns have not been
in the market for three years.) His
scheme was something like this. He
would go to merchant and persuade
him to give him a large order for pat
terms part Of which was to be paid for
in advance and the balance upon re-
ceipt of goods. Then the man would
leave and that Is the last ever heard
from him or the patterns. He took
an order from one of our business
men. but was not slick enough to get
any money. Let others beware Of the

THE COUNTY Fair.
A Large Crowd Witness The Vari-
GUS Exhibits on the Grounds.
MUSIC BY THE HOME BAND
The Weather Fine, find Dust Plentiful
Largest CrOwG On FRIDAY.

The Grant County Fair for 1899 i,
a thing Of the past. Every thing
passed off very pleasantly and salts
factorly Thursdays attendance was
about the usual number for the second
day but Friday was the big-day.
There was one OF the largest crowds
ever in attendance, and EXCEPT for the
excessive amout of dust in the atmos-
phere the day was ali that could be
desired
The exhibits in some departments
was better than usual while others
did not have the usual display.
Several of Lancaster's business men
had space in the Art Hall where they
displayed their wears TO the best adj
vantage, among which were noticed
Jocckel Bros. fine display of gents
furnishing goods, + T.. Barnett
jewlery and siyerwear; Weber Bros.
Jewelers. and hand-painled china, H..
&. Watton's artistic groups Of beauti-
ful and interesting faces.
Three large tents in the center of
the grounds covered the finest dis
plays Of elegant, comfortable and
substantial buggies and carriages
ever shown in this part Of the state.
They were not exactly horseless car
riages, though there seemed to be
styles enough to suit every would be
purchaser The firms exhibiting were
G. w. knapp Il Son, G. J. Hyde q Son
and Fitzglbbon Bros. Of Monroe. Not
far from these was the ever present
Merry-go-round or Dewey's fleet
which attracted both old and young.
There was the usual number Of side
attractions including the little horse
and the large voiced man who owned
it,
Major Henderson, q Son entertain
ed the people by music on drum and
fife but for our own uncultivated taste
we much prefer the music OF our home
band and think it more worth the
price The chariot races would have
been better if they had driven finer
looking horses.

More "Dowle" Trouble.

A warrant has been issued for Basic
johnson. follower of dr. John
Alexander Dowie, the faith healer, at
the instance of Johnson's wife, who
says he has failed to support her and
their six children, and has given his
earnings to Zion, Dowie's church.
johnson is laborer at No. 1927 May
street, Chicago, and his wife says the
limit to his earnings is $40 week.
Out of this she says he has frequently
given 81 and So a week to Dowie,
keeping the remainder for his own
needs and allowing his family to
suffer for the necessaries of life. The
restitution of the family caused it to
become an object of charity, and the
attention of the police was directed to
the case. A recent death in the
family rendered its condition more
pitable.
When johnson was brought into
court he read chapter from the
Bible and said he had made compact
with God. The judge said You nave
no compact with any one except a
notorious old confidence man. You
are being robbed by man who is the
delirium tremens of charity"
At this iuncture Mrs. Johnson told
of having visited Dowie with a plea
for herself and her starving babies Il
went to Dowie's home and told him
that we were suffering for food. and
that my husband was not doing right
to give away so much of the money he
received she said. s'Dowie said to
me, Your husband is doing perfectly
right in giving to God. He is good
man and worthy example for you.
Do not tell me he is not doing right.
He is model husband. -
All organization is now arranging
to wage war on Dowie. Warrington
