to the original special committee with power to bring about a settlement.
 This committee, with the highway committee! representatives of the state board, and MT Coy, held a ses- sion Monlay on the Coy-Welch prop erty and MT. Coy made his final prop osition. He said he would give a strip of land sufficient for a road fifty feet in width through the meadow land for a distance of about fifteen hundred feet. This would make a strictly straight section of road from the Coy -Welch barn to the Albert Langworthy bar1 and for a distance of ] about half a mile. It will mean the abandonment of section of the orig inal road that is as crooked as the traditional rams horn, and be one of the best stretches of state road in the county. In return. MT. Coy wished to have the town or state, or both. build walls on both sides of the new layout, just as was agreed with property own CTS all along the line who gave prop | erty for road improvement.
 Agreements were made Monday that
 are to be incorporated in deed that
 is to be properly signed and rAcorded.
 Then, so far as MT. Coy is concerned.
 the whole matter will be satisfactorily
 adjusted and the whole town will be
 the beneficiary.

A FEW QUESTIONS

Some time since ". J. Bryan put
series of questions to Col. Roosevelt
and in as much as the third term
candidate has not as yet attempted to
answer them except by abuse, it may
be well to call attention to them again
especially in view of their pertinency
with reference to the real necessity
for the third term party. Here they
are.
would Mr.. Roosevelt have favored
the organization of new party had
any one except himself suffered the
modification of defeat at Chicago by
President Taft? Would the defeat of
Minis at the hands of the bosses have
furnished him with sufficient rea-
son for leaving the Republican party
and enlisting under the banner OF
another man?
Would Mr.. Roosevelt have regard
the bosses as an insurmountable OBJ
lection if he had succeeded in seating
enough of his contesting delegates to
give him a majority in the conven-
ton?
IF Mr. Roosevelt had controlled the
national committee by one vote and
it had seated enough of the Southern
delegates to dominate the convention
would he not now regard the Repub-
lican party as a peoples party and
the only organization to be trusted"
Surely no intelligent voter doubts
the pertinency of these questions, for
are they not the very questions he
must ask himself to arrive at any ra.
tional conclusion as to the necessity
for the third term party movement ?
Col. Roosevelt knows they are peril
nent, but he can not answer them with
any show of honesty without admit
ting the weakness of his position and
therefore he resorts to abuse as usual.

Roosevelt and His Party.

Had a new party sprung into the
field in consequence of reactionary
nominations by both the old parties,
it would have been party in reality
and one greatly to have been desired.
Roosevelt might have forced himself
upon it, as he would certainly have
tried to do, and, bitter as this pill
would have been to it's projectors
they might have been obliged to swal-
low him. But when the Democratic
party was captured by it's progressive
elements, under Bryan's leadership
and with such a candidate as Wilson
not only did all reasonable possibility
of genuine new party disappear, but
so did all reasonable necessity for

the country has seen in thirty years
behind them, and each day, accessions
are noted. In other words, democracy
is united and republicanism divided
This being the condition it requires
not the services of a prophet to de
termine the result.
In the state of Washington, similar
conditions prevail, only to a greater
extend. The primary campaign
through j. c. Lawrence and others
has laid bare the weaknesses and ex.
travagances of the Hay administration
as could have been exposed in no 9th.
er manner No one would believe a
democrat in the story of riot and ex.
travagance related by Mr.. Lawrence.
But, coming from this source our re-
publican friends are estopped from de-
NAL and so it reads, that the United
States and the State of Washington
will pass from republican rule after
November next.

In this county next month is going
to be the grandest exhibition of indie

twenty-five years certain element in
this county has been enabled to shift
it's burden of governmental support

able to bear it, The cruise of the

THOMAS r. MARSHALL
Slightly Prophetic.

With the November elections but
three weeks off, fair prognositcation
OF the results may now be made, at
least so far as the national ticket is
concerned. The most optomistic Taft
man is forced to conclude, from the
press dispatches, that indications all
point to the defeat of his man.
The reasons vary in different local
tiles, but, underlying all of them will
be found general belief that Presi-
dent Taft, worthy gentleman and an
excellent jurist, is unable to cope with
the powerful influences that have
come to control the republican party,
and through that party the nation
not to the nations good.
1t must be conceded that the

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life " is most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion Of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhan,'s Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
