KILLS LIKE LIGHTNING,
How DEADLY RHEUMATISM OF THE
HEART CONES On.

Those pains you feel when you first
arise In the morning-aching pains in
the Joints, shooting pains In the muscles
are signs of warning. They are dan
ger signals, evidences of a deep-seated
trouble that ii not removed may affect
the entire system and cause chronic
disease, or it the cause Is not removed
they may develop suddenly into the
deadly Rheumatism of the Heart,
which kills like lightning.
Better get rid of the cause at once.
Rheumatism and its kindred diseases
are caused by the accumulation OF
poisonous acids of the blood. Rubbing
with oils or liniments will not cure it
it is an internal disease, and can be
conquered only by an internal remedy.
There is just one complete cure
RHEUMACIDE. RHEUMACIDE
neutralizes the poisonous acids, sweeps
all the dangerous germs out of the
blood and makes you we'll all over.
RHEUMACIDE CURES because it is
the only remedy that "gets at the
joints from the inside"

writes:
-Four bottles of RHEUMACIDE

Our Rural Deliveries.

There are three rural mail delivery
routes from Scotland Neck. Nos. ]
and 2 have been in operation for two
years or more, and No. 3 has been in
operation since June, 1904.
Mr.. w. T. Tyler, the carrier for
route No. 3, says that the discon.
tinuing of the post Office at Norfleets
las added considerably to the amount OF
business over his line, and that it has
doubled since the route was opened
outside OF the business for the Norfeet
post office.
Route No. l has improved about as
much as route No. 3, but route No
has not made so much gain.
The service is quite a convenience
along the line OF the different routes
and the people greatly appreciate them,

Slim chance for the Electric Railway.


The common council at GAINESVILLE Of
fered Mr.. Clough franchise for his rail
way enterprise, modified in many re-
spects from what asked for. The freight
carrying clause which he so much de-
sired has been so changed that only
hight package freight, express and mail
can be transported. Sugar beets and
other carload freight is excluded. The
general impression is that Mr.. Clough
Will not accept of these provisions. To
an outsider it is hard to understand what
controlling influence determined the
action of the council, for the citizens of
GAINESVILLE seem very much united in the
opinion that the Clough franchise should
carry. The Gazette Tuesday evening
sets forth the situation as follows:
Last summer Mr.. Ell. FL. Clough came
to GAINESVILLE and at an informal gather
ing of the council told the city fathers
what he wanted in the way of fran
chise. They agreed informally to grant
it, and upon this promise Mr.. Clough
went ahead, expended in the neighbor-
hood of four thousand dollars in surveys,
drawing up of franchises and other mat
tiers. Then he presented his franchise,
the same franchise he outlined last sum-
mer and was told would be granted, and
the opposition of the council began. 1t
eliminated last evening in the first and
second reading of franchise drawn up
by the council, which takes the meat out
of the franchise requested by Mr..
Clough. 1t is now before the council
for the third reading and passage.
Whether Mr.. Clough accepts the fran
chise as it stands or not is doubtful. In
view of his past statements it is prob
able that he will not. Ii he does not,
GAINESVILLE has lost an opportunity of Sc
curing an interurban connection with
Madison, the opening up of new field
Of trade for the merchants, the estab-
lishment of a new city railway and the
general betterment of the city as a
whole. Not for years has any subject so
wrought up the spirit of the citizens as
has the present franchise question. APP
pearances today are that the work has
all been in vain. That the opportunity
of securing the interurban and its con-
Meeting roads and benefits is past. That
the franchise which the council have
made ready to grant Mr.. Clough and his
associates will be waste of time to dis
cuss. 1t is useless to cry over split milk
before the loss is really discovered, but
the present indications are that James
vile will suffer bitterly for the mistakes
of the present council for years to come.

Good Results from Draining Marshes.

Marshy land in the vicinity of Deer
field, Dane county, has been drained
under direction of the horticultural de,
partment of the university, and the re-
suits accomplished have been surprising.
There are two kinds of land which re-
quire drainage, first, land which is wet
and marshy, because it is too fiat to al
low surface drainage; and, second, land
which has sufficient slope but which on
account of the large amount of vegetable
matter and humus does not have good
underdrainage.
According to statistics compiled at
the university, there are over 1000 acres
of marshy land in every township, at
which rate there are about 100000
acres in the entire state. Then there is
at least 100000 acres of marshy land
which is only partially productive on &C.
count of too much surface water to al
low proper cultivation. In addition to
this there are at least 100000 acres of
upland clay soil which will require un-
derdrainage to allow it to produce maxi
mum crops. The university authorities
believe that the thorough drainage OF
this 100000 acres would increase this
land in value S1O0,OOO,0O0.

Hicks October Forecasts.

The regular storm period charted from
the End to the 7th will take up the dis
turEances and renew and prolong them
during the first week of the month. TAX
ing the country as whole, every variety
of storms from tropical and tornado
southwark, to boreal with snow and
early seet in the extreme north and
northwest, are among the probabilities
at this time.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 10th, 18th and 18th. Look at this
time for return of storm conditions
rising temperature, falling barometer
and return OF cloudiness and autumnal
rains and gales. The Venus influence
all through this part of October will
tend to extremes of temperature, with
storms all the way from vicious light
ming and thunder, to sudden change in
to almost winter storms and tempera-
lures. These autumnal storm areas will
almost certainly bring severe to danger
Gus disturbances over the northern lakes.
A regular storm period covers the 10Th
to the Goth, having its center on the 18th.
In all probability this will prove one of
the most severe TO dangerous storm per-
iods OF this month, if cot the whole aut-
umn.
A reactionary storm perion is central
on the 23rd to 25th, at which change to
warmer, falling barometer, with cloudi-
ness and more autumnal rain may be ex-
pected. Our agricultural readers should
keep all these October periods we'll in
mind. Navigators of the big lakes will
pay for all reckless disregard for storm
warnings.
A regular storm period covers the last
five days of the month, embracing the
second full moon in October on the 3lst
and moon on the equator on the 29th.
Falling barometer and change to warm
er will appear in the west early in this
period, storm areas will develop in the
same regions, and during the 18th to 3lst
wide stretches of cloudiness, rain and
snow will pass across the whole country
from west to east. The elimination of
these storms will probably center on the
31st. on or before which date an early
cold wave, with decided dashes Of an-
tumnal snow and gales, will be well on
their sweep from the northwest.

New Train Service.

A new schedule in passenger service
was put in force Monday on this division
which, it is believed, will more nearly
meet the demands of the travelling pub
lie. To satisfy clamor for an earlier
train to Madison and increased service
west to Prairie du Chen, new train
had been added leaving GAINESVILLE at
S:l5, known as No. 80, which reached
Edgerton at S:48, Madison at $50, where
it makes connections with Milwaukee
train over the Watertown division and
then runs on to McGregor. Returning
the train leaves Madison at $50, Edger-
ton at 6:38 and GAINESVILLE at 7:15 p. m.
The time of No. 5, the afternoon pas
senger which formerly was due at LA,
is now changed to leave Milwaukee at 2
o'clock instead of 1870, reaching Edger-
ton at 4:25. Edgerton passengers who
visit GAINESVILLE and return on this train
will leave that city at 1925 instead of Ito
as heretofore. The time of other pas
senger trains on this division has not
been disturbed. Commercial travelling
men will now be able to cover this terri
tory much more expeditiously than be-
fore. An early train to Madison and
west will also be appreciated by all hav-
ing business at the capital and beyond.

Carl Ziebell OF Neville, died We'd
nesday, aged So years. Funeral services
take place from st. Johns church Fri
day afternoon.
The promising trotter, Mike Wilkes,
owned by G. II. Bliven, dropped dead on
the race track at Jefferson Wednesday
afternoon just before the close OF the
final heat of the race. The horse was
driven by Gus Drager and had he lived
to pass under the wire would have been
entitled to third money. The breaking
of a blood vessel is supposed to be the
cause of his death.
A big land deal, engineered by E. M
Laid, was closed here Monday when
deed was passed for 1855 acres of land at
Rea Heights, Hand county, S. D. Eight
different parties are interested IN the
purchase, which at SIG per acre amounts
to S2O,OSO. The purchasers are largely
farmers in this locality who are invest
ing in the property on speculation. -
stock company will doubtless be formed
to handle the property.
"A little mix up of freight cars in the
yards here Wednesday afternoon delayed
all traffic on this line for about five
hours. Kelly's switching crew went into
the brick yard siding for car of brick
and in order to cut it out were compelled
to pull out large furniture car that
had been loaded with shingles end lum-
Der to the roof, but one side of the car
was nearly emptied. In going out Of the
east switch in the deep cut just below
the Whittet lumber Office, where a
strong curve is in the tracks, the top
heavy lumber line fell over on its side,
completely blocking the main track as
we'll as the switch. It is quite an un-
common thing for freight car to tip
over with it's own weight but the load
was 80 unevenly balanced that in round
ing the curve the center OF gravity
passed so far to one side that over it
went, breaking one of the steel rails as it
toppled. The brick car also went OH the
rails but was hauled back onto the track
without much difficulty The lumber
line, however, had to be emptied and a
wrecking car ordered from Milwaukee to
clear the track. This arrived about half
past seven when quick work WAS made
in righting the overturned car. In just
thirty minutes after the wrecker came
the track was clear. In the meantime
two passenger trains going east were
held at the station here and three more
were waiting at Milton junction to come
west before the mishap was Strengthened
out and the schedule resumed. The
damage done was only nominal but the
trouble occurring in the deep cut hung
up traffic much longer than troubles of
this kind usually do.
