A $1,000 Check Lost.

Monday afternoon S. 6. Hunter
of Atlantic, started for Osceola
where he was to meet with the city
council of that city Tuesday and
bid on systsm of water works for
the town. When he arrived at his
destination about mid might Mon
day he discovered that he had lost
his pocket book, which he had
placed in his hip pocket, contain
ing S2O in money and certified
check, payable to his own order, for
$500. Mr.. Hunter telegraphed to
the conductor of the train on which
he had ridden from Red Oak to o.
ceola and strict search was made
but no pocket book nor valuables
found. Mr.. Hunter then notified
the sheriffs of the several counties
along the line of the 80" of his loss
and requested that they notify all
banks in their several jurisdictions,
against cashing the check.
As this check was made PAYABLE
to Mr.. Hunters order it is not at all
likely that it will ever be presented
for payment, yet Mr.. Hunter would
feel great deal more at ease had
he the check back. The $40 in mon.
ey he would freely give to accom-.
plish this result.-Griswold Clean.

Two important measures to be
voted upon will come up at the an
nual election this spring. They are
the franchises for the Marine & Elk.

the Audubon County Farmers Nut
ual Telephone Company. The form
er are composed of a big farm pop.
ulation, Just west of town, who
wish to establish central here if
they see fit. Not to compete with
other lines but simply to come into
town, their trading point and get
connection direct with the dealers
provided they are not able to make
arrangements with the systems
now in. They will doubtless never
have occasion to use the franchise
IT granted but they represent too
large trading population to turn
their proposition down. The sec
ond is our own town people, form.
ing branch of the Farmers Coun.
ty Mutual. Almost seventy.five
shares have been sold now, which
means seventy-tive phones. The
system will be put in az soon as the
franchise is voted and within sixty
days the new system will be in good
working condition. 1t is to the in
terest OF every citizen to vote for
both measures. Show our good
will to the people west of town and
help the town in it's proposition.

Good Roads.

Editor Guthrie Times.-As YOU
requested me to write my views of
a good road, will try to do SO. Have
waited, hoping some one would
write my ideas in more lucid man
ner than it is possible tor me to do.
In building road the all-import-
ant point is drainage. A grade
should be built high enough to be
above high water, if possible, also
be built true arch, no depressions
in the grade; and where the grade
is built up about "a in. there should
be about different periods of it's
construction, each time be lust as
particular, 50 the road will be in
good shape for traffic. Then the
fifth time grade it once over. That
will I'LL any unevenness caused by
the dirt settling most where the
bitches were deepest. The grade
will be as firm if not frmer than if
a roller were used, and the water
will not rise from beneath when the
whole grade is packed, the same as
when the top surface is packed and
foot or more of loose dirt at the
bottom Of the grade. Now as to di-
mansions of the grade. 1 think
about "a #. the proper width from
gradient to gradient. Then the road
should be run over once every
spring and fall cutting out in. on
each side thus adding u in. to
width of road at each time of grad.
ing until the desired width and
height is obtained. / believe for
the main travelled roads about 80 #.
wide and #. high is the best for
practical results. OF course 1
might add how to adjust the grader
to avoid jumping, side draft and
sliding on side of high grade but
that is not what 1 started out to do;
the operator must solve that prob
lem or should before he ever sets
foot on one. AT least that is the
way | did, and when I took hold
run it the same as now. OF course
| have adjusted it differently to see
If had it set to cut and handle the
most dirt and at the some time
move it farthest toward the center
OF grade. More in the future.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of tho

For many years It has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion

opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the

Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
tho juices of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

ATTACK PORT ARTHUR ANEW.

Japs Do Great Damage to Ports De-
Tending Squadron.
The japanese fleet Monday practically
completed the annihilation Of Russia's
Port Arthur squadron. A fierce bonn
bardment, begun at 10 o'clock in the
morning, resulted in the sinking of the
cruiser Askold and a torpedoer, The Grip
pling of the Novik and the silencing of
the Retvizan. The japanese withdrew
in perfect order. The attack was in COM
pliance with the Mikado's orders that
Port Arthur must be taken at all costs
When the bombardment began the
Russian cruisers Novik, Bayan and
Askold, accompanied by four torpedo
boats, steamed out of the harbor to meet
the attack. After a fierce battle they
were compelled to retire.
The Askold was in a sinking condition,
the Novik greatly damaged, and one tor
pedO boat sunk. The Russian battleship
Retvizan, which has been Oh the rocks
since sthe first engagement Of the war,
was a special target for the japanese
fire, and was struck several times.
When the japanese saw that they had
done all the damage possible they with
drew in good order. As far as is known
their fleet suffered no damage. After the
bombardment large force of Russian
artillery was sent to Pigeon bay. it be-
ing feared that the japanese would at.
tempt to land troops there.
Port Arthur was reported very short
Of provisions. The soldiers manning the
land batteries seemed demoralized by the
repeated attacks Of the japanese squad

Wednesday and Thursday. 1t covered
the prairies of North Dakota and Mime
sofa and the hills and valleys of northern
Wisconsin with deep fall Of snow that
tied up street cars in many places and
delayed steam railway traffic.
