SYMPTOMS of madness is chained up
and how much more of the stock will
be affected can not be determined. The
trouble comes directly from Mr.
Whltesall's dog which went mad. How
the dog became affected is not known

count of lack of men. Almost every
piece of work that has been planned
has been dragging or remains UNI
done. The directors of the Farm

building, which is undoubtedly one of
the finest in the county, was accept
ed and all arrangements completed for
the opening of the bank. The
Tribune counts it Il dull day when a
gang of surveyors are not reported at
work between Dumont and Shell Rock.
1t is quite certain that Allison will be
on the map after it's all over, as all
the surveys touch it, Some of the
other towns are wondering where they
are going to be stationed at.

YEAR ..rhe hoboes are no more nu
merous this Year than ever before" he
said, but they are much holder
think the reason for this is that prison
the all prevailing good times and are
releasing Il great number OF men on
parole in the hope they will find work
In all my experience i have never seen
so many good thieves on the road as
there are this Year. They find travel
ing around the country, begging what
they can and stealing Whit they dare
very lucrative. Mr.. Bresnan has a
remedy for the tramp problem and be
lieves il is the only remedy. "All the
state legislatures should set together
aud effect an agreement by which
every county should have its rock pile
and tranlps made to work ON it. There
is only one cure for tramping, and that
is work"
