MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS.

We would not for much wealth have
the beautiful hills of D-uison replaced
by the ugly fairness of some of our sis
ter cities. but it must be confessed
that hills are luxury and it will be
manv years before tnose about US are
tanned and harnessed to grade.
The money that other cities can place
in paving aud sewage and grayelied
roads must in l)enison be devoted to
cutting and filling. But as we have
-aid before there is no man in Denison
who does not love the hills with their
inspiring view of farms and fields and
river valley.
By increasing the city limits and de-
creasing the CITY debt, that incumbus
is now within the constitutional limit
and at least $4,000 of it should be
bonded at once, paying off the numer--
Gus out standing warrants and reducing
the interest rate. This is possibly the
first duty of the new council. With
hiking fund provided for the payment
of interest and the ultimate redemp ion
of the bonds, there will be some money
left each year for public improvements.
How and where this money is to be ex-
pended is always the most perplexing
problem for tine councilmen. In this
connection we would suggest that the
first consideration should be to make
passable and Clearly and presentable
the important thoroue hfares OF the
city. BY this we do not mean the
streets along which are the most ex ;
pensive residences but those streets uI-
on which the traffic is the heaviest.
In the first place good gravelled
roadway should be provided from the
Northwestern freight and passenger
stations. The grade for this roadway
should be made absolutely without re-
gard for pr vate interests Ifunwarrant-
ed damage Is done to any private prop
ecty the damage should be paid, but the
roadway should be made with the sole
view to public utility and with the idea
in mind that some day brick pave
ment will replace the gravel There
has been entirely too much compro-
m'slng and changing of grades to suit
/ private interests and in matter of so
great Importance as the building of
this highway no property owner should
ask any consideration beyond the pub
lie good. For our part we believe a
broken grade will be better than cor
tinuous one from Broadway to the
North western, but be that as it may,
the road should be built without fear
or favor.
This roadway being completed next
attention should be given the business
sections of Main and Broadway, We
defy any town to pro luce worse LOOK
ing street than our own Broad way from
the Court House to the old Wilson
House corner. 1t is lop-sided, run
down at the heels, bumpy 4 lumpy,
muddy when there is hes Edew and
impossible when it rains. All this
could be avoided by the lowering of
Main street from the Opera house
c'rner to Broadway, especially on the
east side of the street, and the lower
ing and leveling OF Broadway; cutting
down the north side, filling the south
side and raising the sidewalk grade

4 Physician's Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. n.-Leland Will
hanson, NJ. d., one of the clevereSt phiy,
sicians, has made a statement, endorsing
Dodds, Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape of a
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in a siclly
and malarious country | have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
TENTS whether ethical or not.
- have used Dudd's Kidney Pills with uni
form success in the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Inflammation and Congestion Of the
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; | always
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve the blood of accumulated p~oisons,

what Old Age is Like

The noted French advocate, Maitre
Labor, who defended Dreyfus and re-
Gently the Humberts, is noted in Paris
more for the polish and neatness of his
speeches than for his eloquence. An
American journalist who heard Labor
in court one day says the advocates adj
dress was full of grace, wit, tenderness.
He quotes a passage relating to old age,
wherein Labor, with a smile, said:
.sOld age-we shall none OF us quite
understand that until we have attained
10 it-for no one of lis here is old. But
the other day I visited my uncle, a very
aged man.
what is 1t like, uncle / said, TO be
old?s
ssAnd my uncle answered:
1T is like this When one is young
ones polite attentions to women are
taken for declarations of love, but when
one is old ones declarations of love are
taken for polite attentions"

There is much trucking and other
