between East st. Louis and Alton,

of excitement as the result of devel-
opments in the attempts TO blackmail
prosperous residents of that district.
For several days past letters have been
found nailed to posts in door yards
threatening to blow up the homes of
four families if they did not at once
put up 81 400. Armed guards were
placed about the houses at night and
on two occasions they fired ut I'M
known persons who. Ii was believed.

it. There is disposition to resume
it this winter, and the HERALD ear
nestly hopes it may be done. An
evening every week ontwo DEVOTED to
such literary work would be benef-
cient to the entire community.
DR.. Dunn of Minneapolis, came up
on Wednesday evening to see H. P.

appendicitis. While Mr.. Hilsdale

he is doing nicely and there is practi-

Tammany, which has had its
relentless and blighting clutch up
on New York City for years, was
shaken loose on Tuesday last.
Seth Low, who resigned the presi-
dencv of Columbia University to
become candidate for mayor of
Greater New York, was elected by
10000 majority. 1t was a mag
niflcent victory-but it belongs to
no party. In its might the out
ragged sentiment of that great mu.
nlcipality asserted itself, and the
corruptest political conspiracy
which ever existed to plunder a
people of their money, their repu-
tation and even their morality was
hurled from power. Seth Low has
laid upon him a responsibility
whose weight would crush an
average man. To cleanse the
augean stable of Tammany COM
plete is Herculean task, and a po-
litical Hercules has been entrust-
ed with the laber.

Our board of trade, which
seemed to start out favorably,
never advanced beyond its birth
day. 1t lived just long enough to
do much harm and no good. The
ladies city improvement branch of
the Gradatim club hoped much
from this organization in the way
of promoting its work, and assert
ed itself with the young organiza-
ton, When the club died it
dragged to its grave the ladies' or
ganization, which had been doing
some excellect ork. Why Sauk
Centre Cannot MAINTAIN a vigorous
Boord of Trade is mystery.
There is lack of hearty cooper
alton among our citizens, and the
best way to stimulate such CO.
operation is through an organic
alton in which they shall all meet,
consider, discuss. .recommed or re-
ject suggestions for the welfare of
the city, as the case may suggest.
This | is a time when this city
should be on the alert. The coun-
try about us is being rapidly occu-
pied by strangers. The city
should take every occasion to i'm
press these people favorably to
show them that it is our purpose to
cooperate with them to the fullest
extent-to convince them that we
fully appreciate that their interests
and ours are common. No better
method can be devised than
through a vigorous, active Board
of Ira lie. All the cities and villages
about us have them, why not we?

1t costs the farmer more to hau
his grain ten miles over the aver
age country highway than it does
to ship it by rail five hundred
miles. This may seem radical
statement, but it is altested by ex-
perts who have given the matter
close and neutrality-suspicious..
And again: the average country
road can be so improved without
excessive outlay of labor and
money as to make it poss BILE to
haul from fifty to 100 per cent
larger loads with the same horse
power. This, too, being an indis
putable fact, nothing will pay the
farmer better than the improve
ment of country roads. Whether
he hauls fifty, seventy-five or 100
bushels of grain to market on a
single load means much to the
farmer who lives six, ten or twen-
ty miles from market at any time,
and there are times when it in
wolves something more. 1t en-
abIes him to take larger advantage
of a peculiarly favorable market
which frequently lasts but a short
time The farmer is not the only
one interested in good country
roads. Every business man in
this city is directly interested in
having the bestpossible approaches
to the city. 1t means increased
trade and enlarged territory. To
be able to haul to Sauk Centre in
two loads what would require three
to haul 10 another market equally
distant will bring the business
here. Some of the roads leading
to this city are in fearful condition.
A few dollars judiciously expended

Must Sauk Centre everlaStingly
stumble along under its present
patch work of incongruous and
contradictory articles and sections
known as city charter? A year
ago a little progress was made in
framing a new one, but the work
was stopped before it had taken
definite shape. That the city has
been able to do business at all is
remarkable. Any one who will
take the time and trouble to care
fully read our charter will be lm'
pressed with its weaknesses. 1t is
impossible for the council to live
up to its provisions and almost i'm
possible to violate them-for some-
where will be found a paragraph
or section so at variance with other
sections, that almost any act of the
council can find warrant for it
somewhere in the document.
What we need is a compact, yet
comprehensive charter, clear in its
provisions and shaped to meetpres-
ent conditions and future emerg-
encies. None are more thoroughly
impressed with this fact than the
mayorIand council, and they favor
a complete revision: If taken
hold of in earnest it can be ready
for submission in the early spring
before active work begins for
next season.

would improve them wonderfully.
1t certainly would be to our inter
est to encourage the township Off
ciaIs to mend such roads, and to
give them financial aid where nec-
essary. This city should have a
"good roads" committee composed
of active and energetic business
men to look after the highways and
even the byways over which trade
must find its way mther.
