CROSS THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Proposed Sewer VIII Traverse County
Property.

About one thousand feet of the new
sewer which is projected for Martini
Dennis addition will be constructed
across the, fair grounds. The estimates
nave not yet been prepared as to the
probable cost of the sewer but the 1000
feet which will be built on the fair
grounds cannot help but amount to
several thousand dollars.
Property owners in Martin-Dennis
addition do not relish paying for this
part of the improvement and think that
the county commissioners should ar
range to meet the expense.
The county commissioners, it is stat
ed, in order to make this outlay would
have to have the authority of the leg
islature through a special enabling bill
and the council intends to suggest to
the county commissioners that they
have the legislature at its special ses-
sion pass a bill covering this point.
Councilman Tandy called on Mayor
VIM. Green yesterday with reference to
the protest for the Improvement of the
fair grounds. e
Some of these days I presume the
grounds will be laid out as lots and
built on and the people then would be
getting the sewer for nothing and the
other people would have paid for it,
sand Councilman Tandy. This does
not look fair to me- The sewer will be
an Improvement to the fair grounds
and 1t should be paid for by the county
commissioners"

The Health Departments of both New

alarm. The growing deaths from KID.
ney diseases are appaling-now over l1U
per day. These are the census ngures-
kidney disease is getting to be ma
tfonal menace. Every one snoulo
watch his kidneys.
Kidney trouble Is not only curaole
the first few weeks but often gets well
of itself After it has become chronic
(fastens) all known medicines were fu-
file. This was the situation till recent
Nv There is late treatment for Kid
new disease that is new in this pro-
foundIy important particular-it is the
first thing yet discovered that is effec-
tive AFTER the disease has become
chronic as well as before. Hence, 1T
is curing the most fatal forms of kid
nev disease and it is the only thing in
the world that is.
If you have kidney trouble don't take
chances but start right. No one knows
whether it has been developing long
time or has come on suddenly; hence,
the only safe plan is to take the only
thing known that will control 1t in
either event.
This treatment is superseding kidney
medicines We sent for 1t. People with
kidney trouble now have their oppor-

Money bribery has always been
harshly condemned in American poll
tics. though it is to be feared that not
ten per cent. of IL has ever been ap-
pretended and convicted. But 1t is a
dangerous thing to do.
Patronage has until the latter years,
always been held the prerogative of
even the president OF the United
States. James Bryce in his mastery
book on the American Commonwealth
alludes to frequently. and declares
that it is one of the weapons of the
executive. President Cleveland, in

chase bill by distributing fat jobs to
the friends of senators and representa-.
