1t is time of great talking and little
doing. There is prodigious contest of
words and ink. Not even public officers
are exempt from the fray; indeed, some
of them lead in it, loudly roaring.
There is fine fury for writing "open
letters" and telling grandly what ought
to be done and what is to be done. So
fast they follow upon one another's
heels that the tumult is bewilderings
Not in such frenzies is work done. The
great doors in the world have worked
and let other persons do the talking.
1t was not by "open letters and open
mouths that the thought of the world
translated itself into action. Nor, in
this noisier time, is the fabric of states
reared and cemented by the public
clatter of ypewriters.-Boston Herald.

Mrs. Samuel Stuteville, of Morgan
township, was brought before the in
sane commissioners Tuesday, but after
the commissioners had examined sew
eral witnesses they decided that there
was no evidence of insanity and she
was discharged. Mrs. Stuteville has
been in poor health for some time, very
nervous and irritable and imagined that
different persons was stealing her prop
erty. 1t is thought that under the
proper medical treatment at homo she
will soon be in good health again.
The Osceola county board of super.
visors is evident up to the times. The
board has resolved that hereafter brid-
ges in the county are to be built Of
steel and concrete. The high price Of
lumber is given as a reason for the
change, but even at low prices for lum.
Der, the wooden bridge is not cheap
and the concrete and steel bridge
which will virtually stand forever and
which requires no paint and no repairs
is the cheapest in the long run. The
boards of supervisors throughout the
state are rapidly falling into line and
the concrete construction is being used
wherever practical.

through the mail contained the key al

took him at his word and retained the
cash and did not say who the finder
