WHAT THE KING DRAG DOES.

Chas. Chapman and daughter, Vel
ma, returned Saturday from a visit
at DreXel, Mo, at the home of the
formers brother-in- law, Henry Irish.
Mr.. Chapman called at this office
Monday and told of the conditions of
the roads around DreXel where they
use the King drag and use it proper
ly. He says that the middle of the
dirt roads is about a foot higher than
the sides, and they are packed down
until they are very hard, all of which
has been accomplished by the use of
the drag. During the first two weeks
of Mr. Chapman's stay it rained near
ly every day, and yet the roads dried
almost Immediately, they being so
smooth and hard that the water had
no opportunity to soak in and soften
the foundation. Mr.. Chapman says
that every one down there uses the
drag on the roads fronting their farms
Immediately after every rain, for
which work they are allowed on their
taxes. They build their drags light
enough so that one team can draw
them easily and get much better re-
suits than when a heavy drag, which
removes too much dirt and requires
three or four horses to draw is used.
We wish that some Of those Missouri
farmers would move up here and
demonstrate to the people in this
vicinity how easy and inexpensive it
is 10 have good roads.-BlOomington

CONGRESSMAN PARKER DEAD.
One of the Best Criminal Lawyers in
the State and a Gentleman.

Congressman William II. Parker
died at his home in Deadwood Friday,
June 26, of cirrhosis of the liver and
dropsy, after an illness of about three
weeks. Most of the members of the
family were present. He was a native
Of keane, \. H.. and was 81 years of
age. His remains were buried at the
National Cemetery at Arlington this

Colonel Parker served with distinc.
tion in the Civil war from 1861 to
1865. He resigned from the army and
commenced the study of law in Wash.
ington, ID. c.. where he was admitted

by President Grant to be collector of
internal revenue for Colorado territory.
He subsequently became United States
district attorney for Colorado, and in
1877 moved to Deadwood. where he
has since practiced law.
Colonel Parker was one of the best
criminal lawyers in this state, and a
powerful orator. He gained distinc-
tion three years ago when as states
attorney of Lawrence county he closed
down the gambling which had existed
in its widest form ever since Dead
wood was town.
He served in both branches of the
legislature and was member of the
constitutional convention in 1889. In
1906 he was elected member of the
siXtieth congress and while in Wash.
ingtOn last winter it was noticed by
his close acquaintances that his health
was failing him. He was a genial gen
tleman and a worthy friend
