On Account Of Roads.

The new County Court, we
are informed, will increase the
tax rate the full limit permitted
by the constitution, which will
be only 5 cents on the 800 high
er than the levy Of last year.
In order to provide a fund for
the payment of the five bridges
recently ordered the court
proposes to devote 10 cents on
the 500 for bridge purposes and
10 cents for roads. This would
enable the County to pay for tn e
five bridges in year and a
half.-Paris Appeal.-The DEM

works for bridges and frankly

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days The blood, muscles,
and bones of a man of average size loses
two pounds of worn out tissue. This
waste cannot be rsplentished and the
health and strength kept up without
perfect digestion. When the stomach
and digestive organs fail to perform
their functions, the strength let's down,
health gives way, and disease sets up,
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables the stom,
ach and digestive organs to digest and
assimilate all of the wholesome food
that may be eaten into the kind of
blood that rebuilds the issues and pro-
tects the health and strength of the
mind and body. Kodol cures indigest-
ion, Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

FIRE INSURANCE. PROFITS.

Analyses of the 1902 statements of lO7
prominent fire insurance companies dis
closes the fact that only sixty per cent
of them made any profit on HEREUNDER
writing last year, and in many cases
the profit was almost infiinitiesimal.
For the handling of $3.50, DOC, 900 of pre-
miums, and the assumption of billions
of dollars of risks, these l07 companies
were remunerated to the extent of three
per cent upon their premium earnings,
OF So, 6S9, 202. And even this beggarly
gain was exceptional, for 1902 was the
first year since 1898 when the stock
companies reporting to the Connecticut
Insurance Department were enabled to
show any profit, in the aggregate, upon
their underwriting transactions, their
net underwriting losses in the last four
years having amounted to about S25, 500,
600. Had it not been for the income
from and accretion OF investments last
year, the companies listed in the ac-
companying tabulation would have
been unable to pay their dividends and
make remittances to their home offices
without e~ncroaching upon their surplus
funds. Their experience for the year
may be summarized thug:

Wants the President to Come Home.


The Brooklyn Eagle, a great Demo-
cratic newspaper, one day this week
headed an editorial in this way: "Mr.
Home?u Continuing the article read:
1.-THE Eagles advice to President Roose-
welt to come home and have an old fash
toned housekeeping in the post Office
department at Washington still holds
good. 1t is not too late for the admin
~istration to shake the rottenness out of
that tangle in such a way that none of
it falls on the President, but it will be
too late If Postmaster General Payne is
allowed to potter along indefinitely,
giving the impression that his principal
anxiety is to cover up the facts and to
allow men under suspicion to resign
without inquiry. y n So much has
already come to light, against the will
of Postmaster General Payne, that the
people will be satisfied with nothing
short of a searching official investiga-
ton, which makes the evidence public
as 1t is brought out. That sort of an
investigation will not be undertaken
unless Theodore Roosevelt comes home
and orders it. n Aside from the ques-
ton of public duty, it is a plain matter
of party expediency for Mr. Roosevelt
to go back and take hold of his admin
istration. The people trust Theodore
Roosevelt profoundly. If he gives the
matter his personal attention now, has
an investigation, after which he assures
the people that he has been to the bot
tom of it and that all the facts have
been made public, they will believe
him and the whole thing will be for
gotten by the time Congress meets"

From this resume it will be seen that
the investment earnings have paid all

tances by foreign companies to their
home offices, made up the underwrit-
ing losses and added $751; 1874 to the
surplus during the last five years. IL
is not surprising, in view of the un-
profitable results in the underwriting
branch, that a number of companies
have ceased business in the last half de
cade, leaving an increasing volume OF
business tt be transacted by a decreas-
ing number of companies. The remain
ing companies are endeavoring in every
a to maintain their solvency II
prestige, and the good sense of the busl-
ness community in general recognizes
the necessity of such action. The sane
business mar would prefer to pay liv-
ing rates to a sound company and Sc
cure sure indemnity, than to Deal down
rates and to so weaken the companies
as to impair the insurance upon which
his whole future financial position may
come to depend. 1t is therefore likely
that the reforms instituted in 1902, and
which are gradually being worked up
on more scientific lines, will not meet
with undue opposition from the mer-
camille world.=Ihe Spectator.

HAY FEvER's coNouERoR.
Breathe Hyomei and Escape This
Dreaded Summer Visitor.


BY the use of Hyomei you can save
an expensive trip to the mountains and
escape weeks of suffering. This re-
markable remedy for the cure OF hay
fever kills the germs OF the disease,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane, and if used two or three
weeks before the time of the usual APP
pearance of hay fever will prevent the
attack.
The complete Hyomei treatment con-
sists of a neat pocket inhaler, thru
which Hyomei is breathed, bottle of
Hyomei and medicine dropper. The
air taken into the lungs in this way is
filed with healing balsams and forms a
perfect safeguard against attacks of
hay fever or rose cold.
Those who have had hay fever know
how little help can be gained by stom-
ach dosing In this disease Hyomei is
the only scientific yet common sense
treatment for the trouble.
1t is easy enough for any one to say
that a remedy will give satisfaction,
but Mcbride & Will offer TO refund the
money if Hyomei does not do all that is
claimed for 1t. which certainly inspires
faith in the treatment.
Hyomei really gives you in your own
home a change of climate, and hay fe-
yer sufferers know from past expert
ence that this has been the only thing
that afforded them relief. BY breathing
Hyomei a few times daily you can save
the expense and trouble of a mountain
trip and avoid all danger of hay fever.

TRAFFIC GREATLY INTERRUPTED.
Heavy Rains of Wednesday Afternoon
Interfere With Railway Business

All the lines entering this city suf-
fered more or less from the heavy rains
of Wednesday afternoon, which were
especially severe in the western, south
western and southern parts Of the state.
The Northwestern is one of the heavi-
est losers, and up TO noon today not
one of the east-bound thru trains had
reached this city since No. s a s o'clock
Wednesday evening. Rains in the vi
cinity of Woodbine did considerable
damage to the track, and as result
all of the east-bound night trains We're
annulled. 1t is not known when the
traffic can be resumed
The new track OF the Iowa Central
was badly washed in places in the vic
unity of Searsboro, which resulted in
neither of the thru freights, Nos. SO or
80, being run during the night. The
rain north of here was comparatively
light.
Delays supposed to be due TO water
in the southwestern part of the state
also interrupted the Great Western
service today. No. s. due this morning
at 400 o'clock, did not arrive until a
bout noon. North on the Great West
ern and east on the Northwestern no
damage is reported.
