MODEL ROCK ROAD.

First Strip Constructed in Wisconsin
There has recently been completed
IN Rock county, Wis, the first strip OF
road built under the supervision of
United States engineers since Wiscon-
sin emerged from territory into the
dignity Of statehood. says Janesville
Cwis) correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Sentinel. incidentally 1t is the first
model road TO be constructed in Wis
consin on rural roads with proper ma
chinery on rules laid down by the
government This strip of road is
three-quarters of mile in length and
lies half mile east Of Clinton. in the
township of that name.
When the county board met last
spring the towns Of Clinton. Plymouth,
Center, Fulton, Bradford. Beloit and
Milton all appropriated sums ranging
from S40O to $1,000 for the construc-
tion of good roads. According to the
state law, the county board was OF ne.
cessity forced to appropriate from
county funds an equal sum for each
town equal to their appropriation.
Just at this time Samuel c. Lancas.
ter of the bureau of good roads at
Washington spoke before the state
legislature, and Mr.. Hotchklss. secre-
tary OF the state good roads move
ment, prevailed upon him to visit Rock
county as the only county In the state
which had appropriations for the pur.
pose. His visit resulted in the good
roads bureau at Washington being pre-
vailed upon to send complete set of
road building machinery and engineers
to construct three-quarters of mile
of model road as an example for the
rest of the county to follow.
While the cost of the road ran over
the $1,000 appropriated, this was due
to high prices of material and long
hauls and can be easily overcome In
future roads.
The road is built with twelve foot
crown or macadam center. The rock
bed Is eight inches deep, the stone be-
Ing crushed from thickness OF four
teen to eight inches. The regular mac.
adam process was used. A layer of
coarse rock four inches thick was first
laid. then layer.of thinner rock plac.

Liquor Men TO Hold on.

Attorney o S Blanchard thinks that
the CouTier's conrt reporter was bit
msinformed regarding the status Of
the liquor license application of Wise-
man q Light. to dispense liquid re-
freshments to the people Of Leland.
He asserts that the said permit was
granted for period Of six months. al
though the minutes of the court only
state that 800 was paid, for a period
of three months. And as to the
saloon keepers having to close up
their place of business. he emphatic.
ally declares that no such understand
ing was expressed or implied, when
the county court granted the license.
The reporter states that he obtained
his information from persons who
were in attendance upou the court,
when the matter was up for consider
alton and that he had every reason
to believe that his informant was
telling him the truth about he mat
ter. On the contrary, Mr. Blanchard
affrms that his clients will continue
to- deal in booze. after the six months
are up, as he AYERS that they have
been granted six months license
by the county board. In reporting
the courthouse doings, the Courier
endeavors to give the facts and to
confne itself to the truth in all such
matters Just what were the actual
facts in this controversy seem to be
matter upon which several persons
fail to agree.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE

When it is the morning after the
night before you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the
stomach is upset the head is aching
with dull rhythm and that all the
world looks black and dreary.

that looked much better at night than

to look at the tongue Thermometer
then for symptoms of trouble. You
naturally go TO your box of Miona

little relievers bring Joy and gladness
to the physical system.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all of the time. II it is coated with
white fur or possibly with dark
trimmings even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains Of
indigestion that it needs help yet the
coating shows that you are getting
into bad way and that there is need
of Mi-o-na.

Republican, iterated and reiterated even when
threatened with losing the postmastership Of
Athens, Ohio, that Taft can not carry Ohio,

Bryson may be mistaken, but he is on the
ground, and is familiar with local conditions
and local sentiment. In matter Of judgment
on the strength of Bryan in Ohio we incline
to favor Mr.. Bryson even against the esteem

was told that the bank was not paying out
money, but was using CASHIER checks. He
could not understand this, and insisted on
money The officers took him in hand, one
at time, with little effect. At last the
president tried his hand, and after a long and
minute explanation some intelligence of the
situation seemed to be dawning on the far
mer's mind. Finally the president said:

This looks as if Governor Noel means bust
ness. The firing on mob is serious, to be
sure, and should be carefully considered as to
it's results and effects. It is not so serious,
however, as the outburst of anarchy and the
trampling Of the law under foot, and the
law must be sustained, as the Birmingham
News has said before, even though this method
be employed as a last resort. Distressing as
it may be for the military to fire upon a
mob, it would have splendid moral effect
by thus convincing the citizens that they
must bow to the majesty of the law. Had
the troops fired on the mob at Brookhaven
and killed dozen of those taking part in
the lynching an excellent lesson would have
beeen taught and it would have been better
for the community and the state at large
than to permit ynching.-Birmingham

GOVERNOR NOEL's STAND.

Governor Noel, of Mississippi, is emphatic
in denouncing the lynching at Brookhaven the
other day, and declares that he will employ
the entire National Guard of the state, if this
be necessary, to prevent another such out
rage. He declared that the guilty parties
would be brought to justice so far as lies in
his power.
It is interesting to note what Governor
Noel says as to who shall have command of
the troops and give orders to fire in the
event of repetition of such outrages He
declared the commanding officer of the troops
shall be in full charge henceforth, and shall
decide when the order to fire shall be given.

Mr. Bryan deserves much sympathy. Ev-

the clothes that Mr.. Bryan had stolen from
the Populists. Some Of them are worn out
by this time. Besides, Mr.. Bryan has had
several new suits and makes frequent changes
