N'allez pas au tombeau, le coeur au

Car le Christ tend les bras aux mi

Et veut pour vous gu6rir que vous

For IL Beautiful Bridge.

Some time ago the REGISTER told
of the possibility OF there being
erected cement bridge across Elm
creek ON south Washington avenue
and the removal of the present iron
structure which is inadequate for the
traffic demand to the Minor ford,
Mr.. Collins. the craftsman of the
cement company, is now at work on
a drawing of the bridge as it will look
when finished and pictures of this
drawing will be posted about town
for public investigation. 1t is claimed
that the bridge will cost no more than
Il new iron bridge and will be much
handsomer. The cement bridge will
be l20 feet long, and fifty feet wide.
There will be double drive way,
thirty feet wide through the center,
and on each side of the bridge six
foot walk. Arc lights suspended at
each end of the bridge will make it as
light as day, and the solid, rounded
cement walls will give it the appear
ance of a section of fashionable
boulevard. The bridge will be sup
ported by two arches of cement and
concrete and will be as solid as a
huge rock, without jar or tremble.

Should Investigate - Easy
Payments if Desired
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

We all understand that the princi-
pal item of cost in any manufactured
article to the user or consumer is the
enormous cost of selling the article.
1t is estimated that this item of ex-
pense alone is almost if not equal to
the cost of manufacture, at least we
have found it so. This being the case
one must add at least 800 to $3.50 to
the cost OF each piano in order to get
sufficient profit to pay the natural run
ming expenses such as salaries, com
mission to agents, etc.
We have come to the conclusion
that this business can be done along "a
different line and save the purchaser
this enormous eXper- Sc, and as an ex-
pertinent we will put conclusions and
theory into practice. We have shipped
direct from our factory twelve pianos
and five organs of the latest styles and
fancy finishes, and propose to crowd
one years business for any dealer into
ten days a saving to our customers
of eleven months of expense). The

Two Patients Down.

DIR. Wood, late of LaHarpe, has
cure for drug habits of all kinds, in
cluding tobacco and whiskey. As
stated in tine REGISTER some months
ago he tried the cure on himself and
on several close friends with the most
gratifying results and feels confident
that it surpasses anything on the mar
ket for harmlessness and efficiency.
He has been hampered by lack of
funds, lack of suitable quarters and
lack of patients. With a view to in
teresting lola people he moved here
and has been trying to work up inter-
est, but with slight success. The cure
is effected in four days aud he has to
have one assistant or nurse for each
patient. As the field is unlimited he
hoped to have company formed here
to secure rooms and help him push
the cure far enough to disclose its
wonderful merits, when he felt sure
there would be no lack of patients and
the benefit would come to the town in
the up-building here of mammoth
sanitarium which, had it two hundred
patients, would have to have 200 as
sistants, thus meaning a large pay
roll.
So far the support he has received
has come solely from men who have
reached such misery that they have
been willing to try anything and took
his treatment in half hearted way.
He is today treating two more patients,
having taken rooms temporarily in
the hotel Morrow. Why would it not
be good plan to have the CONNER
cial club appoint committee of bus
mess men and local doctors to re-
main with DR.. Wood during the full
treatment of cases which they know
are bad, and if theresult is as claimed,
why would itnot be awise thing forth
town to take action.
The purpose of the institution is
certainly most moral. The expenses
of conducting it would be moderate.
The raw material to be worked upon,
both local and otherwise is abundant,
everlasting and needy of help. The
financial results would soon pay back
all that the town invested.
If lola invested $l0,O and the sole
result was to cure all the drunkards
and dope fiends and tobacco reposi-
tories in town, wouldn't it be cheap?
Why cannot the town wake up once
in century. If this is good thing,
why not go after it? If it isn't why
not find it out? We are in danger OF
sitting down here with, cross between
country village and bustling
beautiful city, folding our hands on
our belly bands and telling all comers
"We are satisfied, just see what w
have done"
We are idiots if we do.

A New Enterprise in Town.


AS recognition of past courtesy
and patronage, and as an inducement
for the coming year Mr.. Joseph
Rosenberg has arranged with w. w.
Ha zzard, who is proprietor of the
mo st practical system of inducing new
trade ever shown He will give free
a lady's or gentleman's gold watch,
diamond ring, a genuine diamond
and large variety of other things,
notice of which will appear in these
columns in the near future. He will
send his representative to your home
with samples to select from, in few
days.
This is stroke of enterprise de-
serving the cordial support of every
family in town, and it is not doubted
but that it will double Mr.. Rosen-
berg's business for the next year,
there is no drawing, no chances, but a
full understanding. You are to trade
so much in the year for certain ar
ticle. The enterprise will be under
the care of Willard j. Cobb and wife,
who will be with us for some time. This
plan has proven quite a drawing
card in other towns and Mr.. ROsen-
berg is TO be congratulated on secur-
ing it exclusively for his store. Go in
Saturday and have it explained to
YOU. 1t will be found all right.
