Tolls Abolished at Last.

The Rock river bridges are free
at last. The toll which has been
hanging over one of the most i'm
portant gateways to the city since
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary, has been abolished.
The well planned move to attain the
end for which the wideawake people
have struggled for many years has
triumphed. What city councils have
been urged to do, the present mu-
nicipal body last night accomplished
by unanimous vote. In years past,
time and time again this matter has
sheen brought up for consideration
and action, only to meet with delay
and in the end failure. Too much
cannot be said in commentator of
every instrument that has in any
way contributed to the final accom-
plishment.
In the dim and distant pioneer
days, when toll bridges we're the
order of things all over the land, the
practice of paying for the privilege
of entering city was not regarded
so seriously as has been the case in

WHAT CURES ECZEMA9

We have had so many inquiries
lately regarding eczema and other
skin diseases that we are glad to
make our answer public. After care
full investigation we have found that
a simple wash of Oil of Wintergreen,
as compounded in ID. d. D., can be
relied upon. We would not make
this statement to our patrons, friends
and neighboTs unless we were sure
of it--and although there are many
so-called eczema remedies sold, we
ourselves unhesitatingly recommend
D. D. D. Prescription.
Because-We know that it gives
instant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. ID. ID. starts the cure
at the foundation of the trouble.
Because-It enables nature to re-
pair the ravages of disease.
Because-The records of ten years
of complete cures of thousands of
the most serious cases show that d.
D. D. is today recognized as the alb
solutely reliable eczema cure.
Drop into our store today, just to
talk over your case with us.

more recent years. For fully gen.
Grafton the Rock river toll bridge
has been looked upon as nuisance
and an obstruction to the city's mer-
camille and commercial advance
ment. Yet with all that has been
done, the tolls have stuck The toll
is a tribute, which like the tariff,
in its latter day abuses, has outlived
its day and must be relegated to the
customs of other years.
Happily, too, the city retains pos
session of the bridges and highway
approaches: 1t may require some f.
nanciering to maintain an improved
and permanent avenue from beyond
the border of the river Rock into
Rock Island, but the way will be
found. Like all other things that
make for the common welfare and
mark the march of progress. the
money question will take care of it.

to succeed Nelson w Aldrich. The
republicans have one congressman in
doubt.
Connecticut-As in Rhode Island,
the republicans have the best chance
to win, although the democrats have a
strong candidate for governor and are
making an active fight. The republi-
cans are expected to win the legisla-
ture, but whether Senator M. Ct. Bull
kelley will succeed himself is a mooted
question.
Hottest Fight in New York.
New York-Here the hottest fight of
the fall elections took place and the
outcome is in doubt. The fact that it
is in doubt is an acknowledgment of
the gains made by the democrats since
the Saratoga and Rochester Conven-
tions. that party not having carried a
state election in New York since 1894.
The democrats seem to have gained
strength among the business men and
the smalLsalaried men and will re-
ceive the silent assistance of many of
the "old-guard" republicans who do
not admire Roosevelt.
Democrats Claim New Jersey.
New Jersey-In New Jersey the
democrats claim victory with consid-
cradle reason. Woodrow Wilson, until
recently president of Princeton uni
versity, is their candidate, and aside
from his native ability is making one
of the most attractive campaigns of
any candidate on the stump this fall.
Some Doubt In Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania-A combination of the
democrats and the independent Key
stone party, with an attack on the al
legged business relations of the repub-
lican candidate for governor to certain
well-known interests in the state, has
raised an element of doubt as to the
success of the republican state ticket
and at the same time seriously imper-
lied a dozen republican congressional.

elect the Legislature and republican
senator to exceed Oliver.
