ALMA CITY's FAME.
An Ex.Preacher Now Conducting a
Saloon at That Point.
From Thursdays Daily.

rIOu luuiou Dohys
j. NJ. Gunsolus, of Alma City, was a
visitor in GAINESVILLE last Friday for the
first time in many months He tells us
that Alma City is cosmopolitan in one
respect, that of having an up-to-date
saloon keeper, an ex-preacher, and a
mighty smart man who can talk an arm
off any man. He is of the opinion that
the man is preparing the way for further
attacks on the pulpit-that is he will
90 back into the ministry eventually
after he has made his pile and is indie
pendent. He will then be fully equipped
for his work and can pose as reformed
saloon keeper and will be enabled to say.
Il have seen it with my own eyes for
have been a saloon keeper" Too often
with noted evangelists this is the case.
But it is certainly somewhat refreshing
to note that Mr.. Gunsolus is satisfied
Politically he admitted that he had been
blind all his life, but that in his old age
he had seen the error of his ways and
would hereafter conduct himself as to
atone for his past offenses. He did not
say so but we inferred that he was a
strong Roosevelt man-Janesville Argus.

This county should own a

nothing. This county should own a
stone crusher, with so much material
going to waste One that will crush Is
tons day with a l0horse power engine
can be purchased for less than $1,000.
They are used by every little place in
Missouri and elsewhere. The time is
cominy when you will have one.
1t will pay to put man on a road
and pay him to keep the roads good.
Ruts should never be allowed, as they
are expensive. \ man should take
charge of eight or ten miles of road, the
same as a railroad has section men. The
best road making man in the township
should be kept in office as road over
seer This will give double the results
for the money that you get now.
j. j. Shanahan advocated reducing the
road tax and paying it in cash. Some
times a parcel \of bummers and blow
hards are gotten for overseers. Under
the present system we get mud instead
of roads.
Mr. Lossow suggested that the meeting
suggest some uniform width for turn
pixies in this county.
Mr.. Shanahan said that the money
expended ON the roads the last thirty
five years would put iron plates over
them twelve feet wide.
Mr.. Cooley, in reply to a question,
said that driveways fleet wide on the
level and 80 feet in cuts is sufficient.
In crossing a marsh the bitches should
be fifty feet apart.
Mic Juliar believed in a wider road.
Mark Wildes favored going according
to the law.
One gentleman stated that in his
township the roads are % feet from the
center of the road to the outside of the
ditch. This had given satisfaction.
Mr.. Juliar said that this was his senti-
ment.
Mr.. Lossow asked all who favored this
t. rise, and the majority did so.
Mr.. Lossow urged the farmers to re-
member and t1y for legislation. The
ocean road is smooth and does not need
appropriations as much as the country
roads.
MIR. Wildes said that the action taken
was contrary to law. He started te
read from the law, but the meeting want
ed to break up, and did so ON motion
to adjourn.

From Thursdays Daily.
Russell B. Craney, switchman on the
Chicago & Northwestern road, was
badly injured early this morning. He
went to the end of the switch and wait
ed for the train to run off of the switch
track onto the main track, and lay down
beside the track. He fell asleep and
when the train went by the engine
struck his head, tearing the scalp and
perhaps causing internal injuries to the
head.
Craney was brought to this city at
5 a. m. and was treated by the local
surgeon of the road. DR.. Warner is un.
able to state how seriously the man is
injured, but at best he will be laid uI
for two weeks. Craney's parents live al

REMARKS ON THE SIDE.
From Wednesdays Daily.

w euucSudy Oduys
More than twenty two per cent of the
men who enlisted in the United States
army for the war upon Spain have APP
piled for pensions and it is estimated
that more than fifty per cent will have
filed their claims before the end of the
year, says The Minneapolis Times. To
men of the north a campaign in tropi-
cal or semi tropical country is a desper-
ate experience and in some instances
camp life within the borders of the
United States was deadly during the
war with Spain, but fifty per cent seems
a heavy percentage of applicants for pen
sions when only five years have passed.
The New York World of May 10 con-
sisted of 1876 pages and after 600 tons OF
the first edition had been printed the de-
mand was still unsupplied. The paper
contained contributions from such men
as Grover Cleveland, Justice Brewer,
Admiral Dewey, General Miles and
other distinguished persons. Altogether
il was. remarkable production, showing
the great possibilities of modern journal
ism.
Here is a hard luck story from Miller,
S. d: "The servant girl problem is
growing interesting here. One man
about used up $3.50 team in locating
and capturing one. The wages asked
were eXhorbitant, but the man brought
her along. The morning following when
she failed to respond to the breakfast
call he was much surprised upon investi-
CATION to find that she had eloped with
the hired man.

KILLED AT NEW ULM.

From Wednesdays Daily.
John Elder was standing on the track
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis road in
New Ulm yesterday morning when a
Minneapolis & st. Louis train struck and
killed him. At the time of the accident
Elder was watching some cattle to keep
them off the track.
