SAVE THE LANDMARKS
Surveyors Object 10 Removal of Corr
nerstones and Highway
Fences.

\ circular letter is being sent out
by the Illinois Society of Engineers
ana Surveyors calling attention to
matter of vital Importance to land
owners i'm these days when the face
of the earth is undergoing such rapid
changes at the hand of man and old
landmarks are being removed or de-
stroyed. The letter. which has been
received by County Clerk Ii. Il. Hub
bard, Is as follows:
AT the last annual meeting of the
Illinois Society of Engineers, atten-
ton was called To the frequent de-
struction or removal of stones or
other marks set along the public
highways for perpetuating land
boundaries. \ resolution was passed
directing the secretary to mail a cir
cular letter to,the county clerk and
county surveyor of each county in
the state. and request that the vari-
Gus commissioners of highways be
urged to exercise special care so that
these valuable marks might not be
disturbed. These monuments are not
Intentionally destroyed, but in the
grading of the highways they are
often disturbed or removed innocent
". The commissioners and all per
sons who have charge of the grading
on the country roads should be re-
minded that a stone, rod or other
monumental mark is liable to be found
at any section corner, and also at
any well-defined fence-linc running
from the road between section cor
ners: that the destruction or rcnIuN-
al of these is prohibited by stale law
(see, Revised Statutes, Starr & Curtis,
Chapter 12); and that great care
should be exercised not To disturb
any such monuments that may exist
at these points.
Attention is also drawn to the
practice of some landowners OF NOV
ing their fences into the public high
ways. This practice should he vigor-
ously resisted by those i'm charge of
the public highways, i'm the various
townships, even if there is no other
reason than that, in the absence or
loss of n monument at the corner,
line midway between fence-lines is
liable to be assumed as the proper
dividing line. at some future date, and
thus error and often litigation fol-
low.
These are matters of great mo-
ment to every citizen, and especially
to the farmers, and we believe your
attention need only be called to them
to enlist your hearty cooperation.
which we feel sure you will accord"

when all other remedies fail. I can
heartily recommend Peruna as catarrh
remedy."-Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If q course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather, of spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures ca
tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh OF the head.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

act was to drink a tunblerful of ice

himself. This unthinking act proved
serious, for in ten minutes the first

well and declared that pain, as

of the fingers attracted the attention
of DIR. Jameson to him. In spite of
DR.. Jamieson's skill, Capt. Dickens

one to pick it up. Of course this was
long ago. Pat had soon become disil

hold of odd jobs which WoIld let him
little something to help him keep
oody and soul together. Finally, be-
coming tired of the struggle. he de-
cided to end it all and was very indus
triously tying rope around his waist
when his landlord happened in on him.
After watching him curiously for q
few minutes he asked:
whats up. Pat? What are you try
ing to do?"
'"Troyin' to choke meself. av coorse, {"
was Pats answer.
Choke yourself? You cant do it
that way. You'll have to put the rope
