THAT BELVlEW BRIDGE,
A Conference at RenviIle, Which
Left Things Unsettled.
RenUille Record.

Senator Nixon and Representative
Peterson held a meeting at the Rus
sci House Saturday afternoon to hear
all who were interested in the ques-
ton of the Belview bridge.
Both factions were represented and
presented their views. Nothingnew
was presented however and it is
hard to see where anything was
gained by holding slch a meeting.
Attorney Winje and 0. 7, Ramsland
presented the side of the upper site;
Messrs. Enestyedt and Tufte rep
resented the lower site party. The
main contention of the people favor
ing the upper site was that the
question the legislators had to con
slider was not which of two sites
should be chosen, but whether the
law, which requires Redwood coun-
ty to build half the bridge, should
be repealed and the county run the
chances Of building the bridge
alone. The farmers favoring the
lower site merely appealed to the
legislators to make it possible to
build bridge on the lower site as
matter of justice to the farmers
there, to whom it was a necessity.
Both sides were correct in their
contentious. There is no doubt in
the minds Of an unprecedented man
that the lower site is the proper
place for the bridge. A glance at
the map of the two counties shows
that. The people, who need a
bridge across the river are the peo-
pie who live near the lower site.
1t is the logical place for the bridge.
On the other hand it is very evident
that if we desire to have any hold
on Redwood county that will force
them to bear half of the cost of the
bridge, the present law can t be re-
pealed although it requires the use
OF the upper site. 1t is also worthy
of mention that there is a suit on in
the supreme court at present invol-
wing the present law.
The county attorney of Redwood
county claims that as the bridge has
been destroyed they are not COM
PEELED under the law to rebuild it at
the old site. If the supreme court
decides against the commissioners
and the law is not repealed, Red
wood county will have to bear half
the cost of the bridge and the upper
site be used. If the law is repealed,
the bridge could be placed on the
proper site where it justly should
have been placed originally, but
.Renville comfy will be obliged in
all probability to bear the cost alone,
as Redwood county is at present
bearing more than her share of the
cost of maintaining bridges between
the two counties.

Washington, D. g. & When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with a rash which was thought to-
be measles. In a few days he had q
swelling on the left side Of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it Twas scrofula and ordered q
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became q running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered blood medicine. a
neighbor told me Of q case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. decided to
give it to my boy and in 9 short while
his health improved and his neck
healed SO nicely that I stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, WhereuponI again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a COM

The recent marriage of Louis
Meierding and Mary Kamholz of
Morgan, which had some hints of a
run-a- way match, turns out to be
entirely satisfactory to father Kam-
hoIz and all concerned. The re
ported substitution Of the rame of
Mary Campbell by the bride was
the result of a misunderstanding of
the name by the clerk of court, and
both parties to the contract declare
that they were not aware Of the sub
stitution until they saw it in the
papers. Mr.. Meierding and his
bride have taken up their residence
on farm near Morgan, and The GA
zETTE trusts that the sequel will
realize the proper ending Of all
stories of true love, and that they
will Give happy forever after

ordinance has long been held a
dead letter, but the mayor having
announced that it was his busi-
ness to enforce it as long as it re-
NAMED law, the council took ac-
tion to pasta substitute which re-
dnces the license for hawkers and
peddlers from $40 to S. per dav,
and for pedd oilers on foot, 50 per
day The license for auction ers is
reduced from $50 to So per day The
ordinance was passsd unanimo usly,

Ecept Alderman Peterson. At the

imously passed, to dispense With
