Road building and restoration in Cuba present
difficulties not to be gound in more tropical coun-
tries, but the work is Of urgent and imperative
necessity, and Governor General Wood will en-
gage in 1t at once with his accustomed energy.
The field is broad enough for the full exercise
of all his capabilities and resources. His work
may justify the eulogy of a preceding road
building general recorded in the inscription:
If you'd seen these roads before they were made
You'd hold uE both hands and bless General Wade.

Awful anxiety was felt for The
widow of the brave General Burnham,
of Machias, Me, when the doctors
said she could not live till morning,
writes Mrs. S. II. Lincoln, who at

" All thought that she must soon die
from pneumonia, but she begged fol

MRS. GEORGE FOOTIT.

Warren Sentinel Leader: Amelia
Hartley, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Hartley, was born at Mineral
Point, Wis, May Il, 1852. This CON
tinued to be her home until Sept. p,
1876, when she was united in marriage
to George Footit, of Darlington, Wis.
From Darlington Mr.. and Mrs. Foo
tit moved to Luvcrnc, Mimi, and
then to Beaver Greek, about ten miles
west of Luverne, where she united
with the Methodist church. On aC-
count of the rheumatism, of which
Mrs. Footit was a sufferer, she was
taken to Lemar, Mo-, where it was
hoped she would recover.
BY her demise Mrs. Footit leaves a
husband and four children; VIM. j.,
Sarah f., George and Mary, to
mourn her loss, that is felt not only
by them, but by many friends who
hold her in high esteem, for she was a
patient sufferer as we'll as a true
friend, whose kindly disposition will
be sorely missed.
Mrs. Footit was one of eight chill
dren: George, William and Edward
of Mineral Point, Thomas, of Wan
kon, la. Mrs. John Merideth, of
Monroe, Wis, Mrs. Geo w. Quest,
and Mrs. Geo. ID. CousOus of Nora,
all of whom, with her exception, are
living.

Cold Steel or Death.

There is but one small chance to
save your life, and that is through an
operation" was the awful prospect
set before Mrs. I. b. Hunt, of Lime
Ridge, Wis, by her doctor, after
vainly trying to cure her of fright
full case of stomach trouble and yell
low iaundice. He didn't count on the
marvellous power of Electric Bitters to
cure stomach and liver troubles, but
she heard of it, took seven bottles,
was wholly cured, avoided surgeon
knife, now weighs more and feels bet
ter than ever. It's positively guaran-
teed to cure stomach, liver and kidney
troubles, and never disappoints.
