Roads improved Under the System Of
Paying Cash for Work.

The plan of paying road taxes in cash
and hiring men for the road work has
been successful where it has been tried
in Freedom county, according to c. III.
Farnsworth, secretary of the Freedom
County Good Roads association.
Under the law passed by the last
legislature, townships may vote to col
lect all the road taxes in money instead
of collecting them through labor. Some
of the towns in Freedom voted to do
this this year and the results have been
much better than under the old system
The town has three road overseers, Sc
lected because of their previous expert
ence. They have hired men and put
the work where it was most needed.
More and better work has been secured
by this system, he says.
Mr.. Farnsworth is in favor of chang
ing the law so that the road tax shall
be collected in money unless the town
votes to the contrary.
"The cOmmendable efforts of the state
press, good roads associations and the
road inquiry department of the govern
ment appear to be bearing excellent
fruits in our county and others in the
southern part of the state he said.
Travellers and the rural mail carriers

Attorney General and the
MinneOpa Park Matter.
CONFERENCE WITH OFFICIAL
Wa nts to Help This City Secure Spot
For Park Purposes; Legal Fight
in Sight.

st. Paul, July PA committee from
The Board OF Trade of Mankato, con-
sisting of DIR. j. w. Andrews, c. n. An
lrews and Thomas Hughes held con-
ference with Attorney General Young
this afternoon regarding the matter of
the state securing possession of Mime
opa park. The attorney general inform
ed the committee that he would insti-
tute condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Young has changed his attitude
toward the park deal and now says that
he is with Mankato in her efforts to Sc
cure control of the property for a state
park Mr. Young claims that the prop
erty is not worth as much as the own
er wants for it.
In the event of condemnation proceed
ings, it is expected that Mr.. Buck will
appeal to the courts, provided the APP
praisers do not award him the price he
thinks the land is worth. 1t is predict
ed that there will be endless litigation
before the state secures control of the
land.
The state legislature made an appro-
priation of $1,000 for fiftyfve acres
surrounding the falls. This is not con-
sidered an extraordinary price by men
in st. Paul who recognize the value
of beauty spots and taking into con-
sideration the fact that the falls and the
scenery adjacent are equal if not super
Tor to Minnehaha Falls.
Attorney General Young has never
been friendly to the park deal, but of
late has been brought to realization
of his duty in the premises, that the leg
islature directed the purchase OF the
property.

Made the Deaf Hear.

A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn,
says that that city is in the midst
of an excitement over the work of
Cooper and his new preparations,
that is beyond anything that it has
experienced in recent years.
According to reports Cooper ar
rived in Nashville several weeks ago
and began demonstrations with his
medicines. In short time he an
nounced his intention to publicly
demonstrate what they would do for
deafness.
Newspapers We're printing stories
daily of the wonderful results that
were being accomplished for victims
of Stomach trouble, Kidney trouble,
Rheumatism, and Catarrh and inter
est was at its height. In conse
quence, at the appointed time
great throng awaited the appearance
of the young man at the drug store
where he was making his headquar-
tiers. About three o'clock in the aft
ernoon Cooper appeared on the scene
and INVITED all those afflicted with
deafness to step forward. Picking
out an elderly gentleman carrying an
ear trumpet, Cooper questioned him
and elected the information that the
man had been unable to hear with
out the aid of the trumpet for sew
eral years. He then poured pecu-
liar preparation into the mans ears
l.
hands. After about three minutes he
requested that some person in the
audience ask the man question
Several complied and from all APP
pearances the man had no difficulty
in understanding everything said to
him in an ordinary conversational
tone. A dozen or more of others

fort" The thread of his theme was ''that
character was the element which would
dominate the successful man or woman
hereafter" He said that the exposure
of crimes in high places was good
sign of the quickening conscience of our
nation and serves to teach that the
time is going when wealth and politi-
cal influence would be the stepping stone
to fame and popularity.

were treated likewise with the same
result. With one or two exceptions
all declared that they could hear as
well as they ever could.
The newspapers have since been
full of the reports of the work and
Cooper seems to have become the
talk of the town.
The names of several prominent
persons have appeared as having
been greatly benefited by his medi-
cines.

bank clerk, living at Ala Ash street,
