TO by the highway department this year.
Ex-Councilman Hines put In a petition
to the council three years ago for the
acceptance OF the street by the town At
that time the street was accepted under
the usual conditions. but until few
weeks ago these conditions were uncom-
piled with. Several months ago the resi-
dents applied to Councilman Bowen to
again try and have the street accepted.
Mr.. Bowen investigated the matter but
could do nothing until the abutting land
owners would deed away the land neces-
sary for 4o-foot street This was SUBJ
seauently done and new plat was
drawn. The deeds were finally hxed and
were filed with the town clerk before THE
council meeting last Monday and the
street was consequently accepted. At
present the street Is In q passable con 1
dition, although to conform with the plat

CASE DISMISSED
OVer.zealous Upholder Of the
Law Fails to Appear When
Wanted.


The closing scene in the comedy
drama, in which E. G. Williams
was to have been the star performer,
and the sale of venison, the subject
of the piece, was enacted Tuesday
afternoon in the court room of
Judge Wilcox.
The case of the state against AL
bert Butcher, E. T. Williams and J.
G. Ingersoll, arrested for selling
venison contrary to the laws duly
made and provided, was called on
that day, County Attorney w. F.
Donahue being present for the state.
The case had attracted considerable
attention and it was expected that
the trial would be a very interest
ing one. Those who had gathered
at the court room were therefore
somewhat disappointed, when the
complaining witness, E G. Will
liams, failed to put in an appear
ance. 1t appeared that there was
no evidence whatever against the
defendants and they were dis
charged.

Too Bad! Too Bad!

It's good thing to enforce good
laws, and good citizens ought to be
eager to assist in enforcing them.
But it can be overdone, as resi-
dent, or former resident, of this
town now we'll knows. He found
he was going so fast that public
opinion did not back him up but
rather booted him out. After sew
eral unsuccessful attempts to find a
place where he could satisfy the de-
mands of the inner man, and other
incidents not particularly crafty
ing to his sense of what the public
owed him for having done his duty
so nobly (?) he awoke to the fact
that he was not as popular as he
might be in the city. 1t was prob
ably due to the fact that his feelings
had been injured by neglect, and
that he did not care to pose again
as public benefacGor that he did
not appear in Judge Wilcox's court
on Tuesday.

Do NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own
Method-EVery Breath of
Hyomei Brings Relief.

Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by dragging the stomach. Tenn
porary relief may be given, but cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure cat
arrh would be to have change of eli
mate; but now with Hyomei you can
carry health giving climate in your
pocket and by breathing it few min
utes four times day soon cure itself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but S1.O0 and consists OF an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle OF
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
a. if one bottle does not cure, an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for SO cents. 1t is the most economi-
cal of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only one
that follows nature in her method Of
treating diseases of the respirat CRY
organs.
Hanson & Emerson sold a great
many Hyomei outfits and the more
they sell, the more convinced they are
that they are perfectly safe in guaran-
teeing to refund the money if Hyomei
does not cure.

Junior Day.

Yesterday was Junior day at the
high school, and the class of 1905 COW
cred itself with glory. In the presence
of large number of alumni, the men,
bers of the board of education and
the other pupils, they demonstrated
that their lung power and ability to
compose and utter yells-good noisy
yells, some that ryhme and some that
do not-was fully up to the standard
made by preceding classes. The Sen
iors were not far behind, however,
and the contest between the classes
proved highly interesting and ex.
citing one.
The pony episode-the inside history
of which even Prof. Stanton did not
know-was part of the program
which did not 60 off according to the
preasranged plans of the Juniors, but
was no doubt entirely satisfactory to
the Seniors.
It is doubtful If so much class spirit
has been exhibited on similar oc-
casions for q number of years, and
everyon" present voted Junior day
tits yeas 4 tiowiius. hilarious success +.

A YEARS IMPROVEMENTS
Many Notable Public Improvements and Usual Growth in the
Residence Districts the Past Year.

During the past year the city has
shown it's usual steady progress in
the way of public improvements and
additions to the residence property
of its citizens. Year by year Sank
Centre becomes more and more de-
sirable as place in which to live,
as must continue to be the case as
long as she lays any claim to being
an up-to-date city.
Probably the most notable addi-
ton to the city's public buildings is
the new Carnegie library, made pos
sible by the generosity of Andrew
Carnegie and the progressive spirit
of the citizens. The building will
cost $4,000. The location is the
best that could be selected, and the
Sank Centre library will at last have
a suitable and worthy home.
The new Congregational church
on Oak and Fifth streets, which it
is estimated will cost 81, 500, is
nearly ready for occupancy. 1t is
a substantial, roomy building of
brick and will make comfortable
and imposing home for the Congre-
gational society.
The Methodist church has been
completely remodeled and an addi-
ton put on, which makes it fine
building, and fills the long felt need
of that society for more room. The
improvement cost about 81, 800.
The German Catholic society have
completed the basement of their new
building. AS the structure is to
cost something like $50, 900, it will
undoubtedly be an imposing and
handsome church.
The city has continued its policy
of Improvement, and several blocks
of cement walks. have been added.
The work on the sewage system,
discontinued until spring, is we'll
under way, twenty-five blocks hav-
ing already been put in. The water
system has also been extended.

the past year has not seen so many

STATES BRIEF FILED.

The Washington dispatches of
Wednesday announced that the
brief of the state of Minnesota in
the suit of that state against the
Northern Securities company was
filed in the supreme court of the
United States On Tuesday by At
torney General Douglass and
Messrs. Mum and Wilson.
The brief is document of 17G
pages, and it's authors contend that
the merger of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern Railroad COM
panles into the Northern Securities
company was for the purpose of
sitting competition.
After stating that the action was
brought to enjoin the consolidation
of the two railroad companies be-
cause they are parallel and compel
ing lines within the state of Mime
sofa, and that the circuit court of
the United States for the eighth
district decided the case contrary to
the contention of the state, the at
torneys present their assignment of
errors on the part of the circuit
court.
They conclude by calling atten'
ton to the magnitude of the case,
and say:
"The judgment of this court
thereon must determine whether q
sovereign state of this union is
powerless to vindicate the majesty
of it's own laws.

improvements as were noted during
the preceding year. Horace Alden
has enlarged and remodeled his
place of bus mess, so that he now
occupies more commodious quarters.
The Boston store has been extended
In the rear, the new room being
used by the repairing department
of the shoe store A new sales
room has been fitted up in the base
ment, and stairway cut through
connecting it with the main floor.
An institution which will do a
great deal to advertise the city is
the driving park completed last
summer. The successful races last
July and the fair in September
show what the park will do for the
city.
Following is a partial list of the
improvements made by residents of
the city during the past year:
James Ingram, new home on
Main street, S2,O 900.
John Nelson, new home on Birch
street, $1,000.
George Veeder has remodeled the
Charles Nelson place on Birch street
at cost of about $1,5
Two new homes have been built
in Brooklyn addition by J. A. John
son and Patrick Brophy.
Ed Bane is now occupying new
home on lower Main street.
John Dimond's new home is oc-
cupied by him, though not quite
completed. 1t will cost 50, 500.
X. c. Parkinson, in Hoboken,
has new house. Rev. G. B. Bre-
count has improved his property by
the addition of a new barn.
This list is probably incomplete
and the hgures, where given, are
estimates, though furnished by
contractor and builder. But the
foregoing review is sufficient to
show that the city's pace in the
matter Of improvements and addi-
tions has been that of progressive
up-to-date community.
