Commissioners of High ways

The honorable County

Wisconsin.
Gentlemen: I hereby beg to
report on the County roads,

ing on the Town of Washburn,
the Wannebo road was wild

hill was repaired and drain

the bridge over Sioux River

drift in winter; whole road
graded andin good condition.

practical, right of way was
bought from owners along
railroad grade and work in
progress on same. Orders is
sued $l186. 43, with probably
$500 additional to complete
new work. In the town of
Barksdale only $97.74 has
been turned in as expense
but S537 has been spent on
improving the bridge road to
Ashland which the most goes
to the town Of Eileen. The
Bark 3dale roads are in first
class shape, only too narrow.

very good roads, maybe un-
necessarily wide in places.

Benoit, here there are a few
places hard to drain, and
only $l37.39 has been spent
this year between Ashland
and Benoit.
Now comes the Town of
Mason, without any money
expended this year but an
elegant road clean through
only for one old bridge, which
should be replaced with an
iron one next year.
Then comes the town of
Pratt with nearly four miles
of swamp road where the
earth must be hauled from
either end, where $5O4.0 was
well spent but was inadequate
to make a good. road and a
like amount could be well

Would recommend their road

follow the instructions of the
Board in helping the most
isolated places first and have
succeeded in joining the road
system so one can reach any

It is true [ have run over
my estimate on much Of the
new work, but as a whole the
county has had good value re
ceived and a good investment
as one can now reach any part
of the county by road. Had

result would have been, the
towns who have had good
roads would have better ones,

When toward midnight the fever
ebbed, Sanderson had fallen into a
deep sleep of exhaustion from which
he opened his eyes next morning upon
the figure Of Prendergast sitting, pipe
in mouth, In the sunny doorway.
He lifted himself on his elbow. That
crafty face had been inexplicably WOW
en- with the dellrious fantasies Of his
fever. Where and when had he known
1t? Then In great tide welled over
him the memory of his last conscious
hours-the scene In the saloon, the
fight, the music, the sudden appalling
discovery of his name and repute He
remembered the sickening wave Of self
disgust, the fierce agony of resentment
that had beat in his every vein as he
walked up the darkening street. He
remem bered the thrown quartz. No

or he had been set upon, kicked and

Save This ANYWAY.

Here is simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
Kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright s disease. He states
that such symptoms as lame back,
pain in side. frequent desire to urinate
especially at night; painful and discol-
ored urination, are readily overcome.
Here is the recipe. Try it:
Fluid, Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking we'll in bottle. This mix
has peculiar healing and soothing eff
feet upon the entire Kidney and Urin-
ary structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in just a
little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure the
Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, decom-
posed waste matter, which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't well.
Save the prescription.
