EXHIBITOR OF ROAD BUILDING

At the time of the State Good
Roads Convention in Milwaukee on
Sept 18th, the State Geological Sur
vpy will have under construction a
model macadam road such as would
he built on a country highway.
They have been granted the use of
some Of the best modern road ma
chinery by the manufacturers, and
expert operators will be in charge.
1t is likely that they will arrange to
have the stone crushed right on the
grounds so that the whole operations
of road building from start to finish
can be observed.
With expert 70 builders in
charge of the work willing to answer
questions and explain why each par
ticnlar thing is done just as it is,
everyone who attends should leave
with a more definite idea Of practi-
cal road building
1t will be of interest to those who
are going to the convention to know
that Mr.. John NJ. Stahl, president Of
the Farmers National Congress, has
promised to represent and take part.
The active interest that the farm
ers throughout the state are taking
| in this Good Roads Convention,
speaks well for the future of road
building in our state. 1t seems that
all that is needed is chance to make
a start to get most of them interested
and arouse a determination to make
the roads source o as much pride
as the fine farms for which the state
| is SO noted

"a CRAZY PRIEST"

The American Magazine is publish
ing a series of articles by Lincoln
Steffens. describing he different
forms of graft which have been per-
mitted to thrive in this country and
how some of the grafters have been
exposed and punished The Septem-
! Der number, under the title The
| Tanning of the West" details the dis
covery of the land fraud system. The
part played by the Rev. Fr. Schell OF
Tony, who was denounced by the
Rusk County Journal in II recent is
sue as "notoriety- seeking, would
he reformer whose personal record
will not sustain his profession, is
related by Steffrns as follows:
There was priest, for example,
the Rev. Joseph Schell, OF Iillamook
county, Oregon, who saw some poor
from their land claims. He folio" ed
the agents Of the gang to the bank
the banker in whose interest { ey
were working, and thence to the OF
flee Of the lawyer in Portland who
was steering the deal through the
law. Father Schell gathered facts,
records, evidence, which Secretary
Hitchcock $ prosecutors told me they
wished they had had. This tireless
priest reported his facts to the local
land offices, to the United States dis
trict attorney, to the Interior De-
partment at Washington, and TO the
newspapers. He knocked at every
door of the system, excepting only
those which opened to knock him.
Nothing was done. On thecOntrary,
his life was threatened; the lawyer
attempted first to bride, then to
blackmail him; and his church re-
buked and finally twice transferred
him. Well, Father Schell wrote to
MIR. Hitchcock and he received an ac-
knowle1 gment from him, but nothing
was done. And the priest went to
Washington to see the Secretary.
He saw the "ring" The Secretary
was busy" To break through the
ring" Father Schell appealed to
Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, and he
thought he had the Oregon pull.
But no, the ''ring" said the Secretary
was "Out." They referred him to
the Assistant Secretary of the IN
terror, who referred him to the AS
sistant Attorney Generals fiji e,
which referred him on, and on, and
on. Father Schell ran round and
round the icy circle of official Wash
ingtOn until he became known as
the "crazy priest" L h Il t 'crazy
priest" had the truth and he cried it
aloud in the wilderness; when he
needed help from on high, he was
disciplined, and when, at last, Rome
fell, and there was no man to deny
his testimony, then his superiOrs, the
church in Oregon, bOasted that sit
was a priest, the Rev. Father Schell,
who first called attention to the land
frauds"

OF interest To women.

To such women as are not seriously out
81 health, but who have exacting duties
10 perform, either in the way of house,
hold cares or in social duties and func-
tions which seriously tax their strength,
rs we'll as to nursing mothers, DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved most
valuable supporting tonic and fnvigorat-
Ing neryine. BY its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, it is believed,
seldom have to be employed If this most
valuable woman's remedy were resorted
to in good time. The rFavorite Prescrip-
tom has proven great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
Intelligent people are quite naturally
ayerse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TON, a full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list Of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refned glycerine taking
the place Of the commonly used alcohol, ,
in its makeup. In this connection 1T
may not be out of place to state that the
NFavorite Prescription" of DR.: Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure Of
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all,
ments, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the un-
animous endorsement of all the leading
medical writers and teachers of all the
several schools of practice, and that too
as remedies for the ailments for which
NFavorite Prescription is recommended

be sent to any address. postpaid, and
