The rurnpike.s Last Toll.


From the Boston Transcript.
New England's last turnpike road
is to be abolished. To be accurate
the road will remain, but the toll
gates. which are the modern equiva-
Tents of the ancient turnpikes, will no
longer fret the travelling public. This
remnant of an earlier system is the
six miles of stone-faced highway in
the towns of Peru and Winhall, VT,
known and dreaded as the Peru turn
pike. Local protests did not avail to
bring about the freeing of the turn
pike, but when this highway, the only
available pass through the Green
mountains in Bennington county, be-
came part of the route used by tour
ing automobilists. the tollgates had
to go.
An American traveller near the close
of the eighteenth century noted that
the only turnpike road in the United
States at that time was the highway
of sixty-six miles between Philadel
phia and the little Pennsylvania
Dutch town of Lancaster. He found
it a perfect specimen of its kind
though when first built it was really
very crude turnpike. THE company
that built this highway was chartered
in 1872, and, while the road has long
been free of tolls, Philadelphians
still call it the Lancaster pike.
Next year there was a bitter agita-
ton against it, and farmers in the
suburbs of Philadelphia were alarmed
lest with improved communication
more distant farmers would compete
with them in the semi
weekly markets of the city. The
road, however, speedily became pop
ular, and it's history for fifty years
is interviewer with that of southeast
ern Pennsylvania. The huge Cone
stoga wagons a century ago ira
versed it's whole length, some of them
with six mule teams that Travelled
to the mellow music of the bells at
the animals ears or, on the wagon
tongues. Hosteleries with hugh inn
yards sprang up along the route. and
many were the scenes of merry meet
ings of winter nights when the stables
were crowded with tired horses
and all of the beds of the inn were
engaged Farms for many miles out
ward along the line of the road i'm
proved under the impetus of i'm
proved market conditions, and the
Lancaster pike. by which name the
highway is still known, was famous
all over the State and in neighbour
ing commemorative.

Capitol Stone Question Again
Being Agitated

jefferson City, Mo-, July 6.-The
Capitol Building Commission will pass
next Saturday upon allowances to
Contractor Gill for work accomplished
on the new State house during June.
1t is expected that .subcontract
with the Ingalls, Stone Company of
Missouri for cutting the stone will be
submitted.
In some quarters there is dissatis-
faction over the recent compromise
between the commission and the con-
tractor on the stone question. The
substance of the comment is that the
contractor got all the best of the set
Element, although the notifications
in the specifications were drawn by
architect Swartwout.
1t is contended that the compromise
cheapened materially the interior of
the building.
The matter is likely to come up
again Saturday.

Have You Met Him?

~ met in town, today" said the
good man to his wife, "the friendliest
man I've ever met in my wandering
life. He smiled and grasped my hand
and called me by my name, and l re-
turned his greeting just to show him
l was game. Isupposed he was mis-
taken and that he soon would see that
it was some one else he wanted and
not just me. But he quickly set those
fears at rest when he asked for broth
err Tom and before l could answer, he
said he knew your uncle Tim. He
knew your maiden name quite well
and used to know your father, and
named your brothers, every one,
without a bit Of bother.
1T was thus he kept me guessing
and wondering who he might be, and
all the time he was talking straight
out to me. He talked about the
weather and the prospects for crop,
and asked about the hogs l sold at a
price up near the top.
FINALLY l got to thinking maybe
this was uncle Ned, who for. years we
hadn't heard of and he might be
dead. But when l thought it over
knew that could not be, for such a
friendly feeling Ned never had for
me. So l gave the quest up and for
got my CONSERVATION and started in
to enjoy the sprighly conversation.
81 had lively time with this, my
new found friend, but soon | noticed
his talk took most peculiar trend.
He slapped me on the back and asked
if l would smoke, handed me cigar
and told funny joke. And then the
truth dawned on me, or I'll eat my
Sunday coat-he was running for
office and was out to get my VOTE

Many fatal cases Of kidney disease
have reached an incurable stage be-

the symptoms. Even today in Butler
there are many residents making the
same serious error. They attribute
their mysterious aches and pains to
overwork, or worry, perhaps, when
all the time their rheumatic pains,
backache and bladder Irregularities
are most probably due to weak and
ailing kidneys. If you are ill, if your
kidneys are out of order, profit by

A Nation Ceases to Exist.

At IL O'Clock midnight, on July /,
something happened that will be
noted in all future histories, although
but few people knew anything about
it. The Cherokee nation of Indians
ceased to exist. More advanced in
civilization than any other. Indians, the
Cherokees in the matter of winding
up their tribal affairs have shown that
degree of intelligence and statesman
ship which has characterized the ma
ton since its removal to Indian Terri
tory in 1880.
They gave up their lands in the
southern states and moved to the
newly created Indian Territory under
the most solemn treaty stipulations
that there they should exist as an in
dependent nation. The land coded
to them was to be theirs, and into it
the United States should never enter
tas long as the sun shone and the
waters ram" There has been a good
deal said during the last few months
about this government regarding as
sacred the treaties that it made, but
no such sentiment ever guided the
government in the treaties it made.
with Indians. 1t entered into some
thing over a hundred treaties with
them and violated nearly every one.
General George Crook in a speech in
Boston said: 81 have never known
the Indians to violate treaty or the
government to keep one.
The Cherokees have produced more
eminent men than all the other In
dian tribes. Senator Owen is men,
Der of the tribe and among other en-
inent men have been the Benges,

Thompsons, Mays, Downings and

Walkingsticks, and these and others
are carrying out the traditions of the
tribe for ability in finance and state
craft.
One of their number, Sevuoyah, in
vented an alphabet, and they have
long had schools, courts, legislature
and a literature of their own. 1t is
said that the Indian alphabet is the
only perfect alphabet ever invented.
1t has about eighty letters in it, but
every primary sound in the language
is represented and every word is
Theoretically spelled. These Indians
are now just American citizens like

almost a sigh. Then Katharine saw
