Public Highways.
Editor ONO DEMOCRAT:

We noticed in your columns that
resolution had been passed at
the Farmers Institute the 18th of
December, urging that our County
Commissioners take immediate
action to secure some permanent
improvement in building our high
ways.
Now had the roads and weather
been such that we could have at
tended we no doubt would have
been one Of those present; while
we must nearly fag the life out of
poor old Bets to reach the metro
polls of Hooking County, at least
six months of each year unless
old Sol stops short of his electric
power and Jack becomes the pike
builder, we must content ourselves
by hearing of these things as
some later date and be defeated in
the presence of many useful meet
ings and discussions.
If we remem her there was sim
liar resolution year prior and the
commissioners invited to give some
reasons why nothing has ever been
done, and after some remarks
pro and con, one were made to
believe that very soon our county
would see wonderful improvements
on the public roads, yet we have
been doomed to adversity and
dependency in those gilded pro-
misses, and who is to blame.
There is an endless complaint
from one end of this county to the
other that there is no system of
road making and than time and
money is often worse that merely
wasted and we are growing old
and gray, and poor Bets must still
wade and plunge through mud and
mire, slush and water year in and
year out and suffer with scratches
a goodly part of the year or to
owner and his family must posi-
lively stay at home and frown loud
and swear silently that he would
rather some one else owned his
property and he were more favor
ably located.
Fellow readers, are we so far
benighted in Hooking county that
nothing can be done to get an up
to-date system of highways?
If we dare swear our best we
would give some one, one of the
sharpest RIPs-RIPs-RIPs by GINGER
SNAPS and TINDER-BoXEs; we would
and no mincing about it, for we have
seen so much reckless spending of
money in doing sorter like taffy
jobs cutting the tufts off of Pixies
Peak very late in the season and
so making such hOrrid mud-holes
the next eight months that one
begins to think the money was
spent purposely to wreak "a sort
OF vengeance on that section.
Please do not get mad at these
few cuss sayings for we know of
another kinder like sort of barney
go-Lizy business by building
bridges and arches at consider
able cost where they were scarce
ly used, and in a remote and al
most forgotten sheep-path, or
some by-road.
But when it comes to genuine
road-making will some of the
readers of your valuable paper in
form us through your columns
where in Hooking county it has
been done and who the inventor
is and if yet alive, also where that
peculiar form of humanity may be
found.
Now in conclusion let us say
we favor good system of public
highways and we most truly hope
every citizen of this county will
agitate and debate and vote, too,
when the chance permits, for some
thingfar ahead ofthe present shame
full, reckless, abuseful and inhu-
man mud and gutter, horse e-killing
Give US pixies and
soon at almost any cost.

.FENCERS IN GOOD FORM
lie Roux and Mallett Work Hard
for Their Championship
Bout on Jan. rs.

The fencing contest between Professor
F. r. LeRoux Of this city and A. B..
Mallett of st. Paul at Century hall on
the evening Of Jan. rs, will be the first
bout between masters Of the foil seen in
Minneapolis for several years. LeRoux
and Mallett have long disputed the title
Of champion of the northwest, but until
a short time ago were unable to agree
upon a match. The personal rivalry be-
tween the two men will add more than
ordinary interest to" the contest.
George Heintz, one of the best known
fencing masters of Chicago, will be
referee of the bout, which will be held
under the rules of the National Fencing
association. The bout will consist of five
ipe-minute rounds. Theodore Hays, him
self an expert fencer, will be master OF
ceremonies.
Both Of the contestants have long rec
ords Of victories. Professor LeRoux won
the championship of the northwest Sept
rs, 1889, at the exposition building, when
he defeated Professor Lindley by a score
OF &C to Is. He also defeated Professor
Freeman, champion of Canada, June L.
1896, by a score of Is to 8.
Malett first learned to fence in the
Mechanic Arts school Of Manchester
| England, where he was an adept at single
stick exercises Since coming to Mime
sofa he has defeated Professor Lindley
Chustol and Postel and Miss, Helen Engle.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Of a New catarrh Cure,

~ A large and constantly increasing ma
jority Of the American people are ca
tarrh sufferers. This Is not entirely the
result Of our changeable climate, but be-
cause modern Investigation has clearly
proven that many diseases, known by
other names, are really catarrh. Former
ly the name catarrh was applied almost
exclusively to the common nasal catarrh,
but the throat, stomach, liver, bladder,
kidneys and intestines are subject to ca
tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pas
sages. - r. =.
In fact, wherever there is mucous men,
hrane there is a feeding ground for ca
tarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays,
.douches or powders, have been practically
/ failures, as far as anything more than
temporary relief was concerned, because
they simply dry up the mucus secretions,
without having the remotest effect upon
the blood and liver, which are the real
sources of catarrhal diseases. T.
1t has been known for some years that
the radical cure of catarrh could never
t come from local applications, but from an
internal remedy, acting on the blood and
expellfng the catarrhal poison from the
| system.
A: new internal preparation which has
been on the market only a short time
| has met with remarkable success, as a
genuine radical cure for catarrh. = .
It may be found in any drug store, sold
under the name Of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's, large pleasant tasting lozenges, com
posed principally Of antiseptic ingredi-
/ ents, Blood root, Red gum and sim1la,
catarrh specifics.
DR.. Ainslee in speaking of the new ca.
tarrh cure. says: II have tried the new
catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
upon thirty or forty patients with re-
markably satisfactory results. They
clear the head and throat more effectually
and lastingly than any douche or inhaler
that I have ever seen, and although they
are what is called patent medicine ant
sold by druggists, I do not hesitate tt
recommend them as know them to bt
free from cocaine and opiates, and tina
even little child may use them with en-
tire safety" - s.
Any sufferer from nasal catarrh, throa
or bronchial trouble, catarrh Of the stom
ach, liver or bladder, will find Stuart
+ Catarrh Tablets remarkably effective
pleasant and convenient, and your drug
gist will tell you they are absolutely fire,
from any Injurious drug.

Need for White STOCKINGS.

nurse who, proceeding to the tropics, on
consulting the matron of the hospital,
who was in England at the time, as to
her outfit, was advised to take out white
stockings. She must at any rate take
one pair of white stockings. Curious to
know why, she asked the reason, and re-
ceived the terse answer, "To be buried

plays cause more injuries than are in

said to be strongly against changing the

play, arguing that they would have to
begin all over. again after making big
strides In the game as now played; and
