Hillerud has plenty of fishing tackle
and if you want the best it will pay
you to buy of him.
At the instance of the Civic
League, composed of women of the
city, woven wire receptacles for the
reception of waste paper and other
rubbish, were put in place Tuesday
afternoon by Street Commissioner
Geo. M. Rice. Six were put up, one
at each of the following corners:
First State Bank Oscar Klonne, A.
Bucher, Merchants National Bank,
Palmer House, McCracken & Bur
CESS. Each and every citizen of
Sank Centre, irrespective of race,
color, politics, religion, or previous
condition of servitude, is especially
and urgently requested to use. these
receptacles for the purpose for which
they are designed. Pick up waste
paper and throw it in them, instead
of letting the paper blow about and
litter up the streets.

A hot wave swooped down upon
Sank Centre and vicinity last week
Thursday and staid "in our midst"
until late at night Friday. The mer-
curry held session with itself in
the attempt to push through the top
of the thermometer tube, and it near
ly succeeded. General Humidity"
was on the job, too, and his presence
made life anything but one glad,
sweet song. The heat was something
terrific and humanity sweated, and
suffered and swore. Friday night
the heat was broken by rain storms
in the Dakotas and farther west, and
Saturday morning dawned clear end
fair with the heat wave exhausted.
Sunday was cooler with some rain.
The crops, as a result of recent
rains and the heat, look fine, in fact
finer than usual at this time of the
year. The outlook is excellent for
a bountifql harvest.
Hillerud prides himself on carrying
in stock the best fishing tackle made.
Try some of it and you'll see he's got
right to feel good.

New Railroad Bridge.

The Boston & Maine railroad have de-
cided to replace the old bridge across the
Connecticut river, known as the Sulli
van bridge, north of the station, with
double track bridge of the girder type.
1t is proposed to change the present pier
in the middle of the bridge. and use two
piers instead of one, making a three-span
bridge. A number of contractors have
been here this week looking over the
specifications and making bids. The
present bridge has been in use 30 years,
although materially strengthened Is years
ago. The strength of the bridge at
present time is not considered adequate
to class of rolling stock now using it,
and the necessity of a double track
bridge Is considered imperative. The
railroad is also discussing plans for re-
modelling the tunnel, so as to permit of
two tracks running through that also.
This latter change is made almost i'm
perative by the proposed increase of
business in the building of the Grand
Trunk line down the valley, which is
to use both the Rutland and Boston &
Maine tracks in order to get through the
local yard

demands of business, the wants Of the

worthy effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in a weakened
or debilitated condition of the nervous

fective nutrition of both body and brain,
and in extreme cases in complete nervous
prostraton. 1t Is clearly seen that what
is needed is what will sustain the system.

Armlstlce In Mexico.

Just as Madero. the Mexican rebel
leader had drawn his lines about Juarez
and given notice that he should attack
within "a hours came an announcement
that a five-day armistice had been agreed
upon and that proposals of peace would
be considered. These are now in prog
ress. Apparently, the parties are not
very far apart Madero says he does not
require Diaz to resign at once, and asks
no place in the government himself. He
will be satisfied to have any member of
the present cabinet lead the way to a
constitutional election of new officers for
the republic. The Mexican government
seems equally plant in concession offered
and the prospect of peace is excellent.
