needed at several places and good

change was required. One of the
bridges will take the place of the
Standish bridge on Pleasant street
and will put an end to the perpetual
work of repairing the plank floor.
1t will he Il yirder bridge similar to
the new Central street bridge, 20
feet wide, with one sidewalk SIN feet
wide The flooring will be of
cement and concrete, probably Il
little higher than the roadway, which
will have to he graded at both ends
of the bridge. The present bridge
will be taken to pieces and set up IN
place of the bridge near the O. II.
Mackenzie place, where bad ACCT
dent occurred last spring. 1t is Just
the right length tor that location and
will make great improvement in the
highway there. New bridges will

place ON tie south road. The hnpr-
ing "f both these bridges will be OF
cement and gravel, making wider

TOO BAD.

A few of the farmers of Pittsfield town
ship continue to stand in their OWL
light, and the prospect for the early COM
pletiOn of an electric road between this
city and Oberlin never seemed so dubi-
GUS since the inception Of the project as
at the present time. Indeed, the refusal
Of these few men to grant the concession
required by the company, threatens to kill
the scheme entirely.
A week ago it was believed that there
would be some difficulty, but not much,
in securing the right of way through
Pitts6eld; but strange as it may seem,
the territory which would be most hpne-
fitted by such line, has placed the most
obstacles in the way of those who have
been active In its behalf OF course, it
is the part of shrewdness to make the
best bargain possible, even at the ex'
pense of another, but in this case the
pity of it is that no one, not even the
men themselves, seem likely to profit by
their illiberality.
The delay in securing right of way
through Pitts6eld will cost the company
dearly if the road is ever built while
present prices prevail. Steel rails, iron,
oak timber, wire, and everything that
enters into the construction of electric
railroads and bridges, have advanced in
price until, it is estimated, the advance
has now reached figure where the COM
pany would have to pay at least $4,000
more to build the line than the same
nine miles of road would have cost if the
contracts could have been let five or six
weeks ago.
The impression seems to be quite gen.
eral that the city council of Wellington
has already granted a franchise to the
promoters of the WellingtOn-Oberlin
electric line, but such is not the case.
The ordinance passed by the council
last night and published in this issue OF
THE ENTERPRISE, is merely what its IL
tie purports it to be-"An ordinance ia
establish street railroad route,
and to prescribe the terms and cOndi-
tions" under which the council is will
ing for an electric road to be operated in
Wellington. 1t is simply the prelimi,
nary step toward granting the franchise

STORY OF 4 SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says; "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters she is wonderfully improy-
ed and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless,
ness, melancholy, headache, backache
iainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend TO weak,
sickly- rundown people. Every bottle
,uaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by
Near & Wells, druggists.
