THE STORY

I1Au O1OlVA
People throughout this country ars
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the market,
but no ono doubts the purity Of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they ara
Just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are tie result Of long research
by well-known physician, r. v. Pierce,
IL. D., who compounded them from
health giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DR.. Pierce's
reputation as q leading and honored
citizen Of Buffalo, is q sufficient guarah-
tee for the purity Of that splendid tonic
and blood medicine, the Golden Medical
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonic and system builder for women's

WILL IMPROVE
THE BIG HILL

Surveys have been made and as
soon as spring opens work will begin
on relocating the road on Trunk
Highway No. II where it ascends the
Baraboo bluff from the south. The
new location will pass the spring far
Their to the west ard the road will be
sufficiently winding to greatly reduce
the grade. The highway will be suf-
ficiently west of the spring to permit
a number Of cars stopping without
congesting traffic.
Another change will probably be
made at the school house in the Haz.
Spencer district about nile
south of Pansy Heights. The plan is
to continue due south of the Hazel
tine corner, near the school house,
to the bluff and either go straight
scutu ever the bluff or turn &c tbs
right and join number II again at the
Spencer barn. By building the road
In this location there will be one turn
to make instead of three and bridge
sufficiently large will be constructed
over the west branch of Skillet creek
to carry the water At present the
highway is sometimes flooded. In
case the road goes over the bluff
straight south from the Hazeltine cor
ner there will be saving in distance
of about 1000 yards, an important
item in road construction. The high
way departm ent has the two routes
under consideration but no decision
has yet been reached.
The improving of these two loca-
! lions on number IL will set at rest
the proposition to build highway
through Pine hollow To follow the
Pine hollow route would be very ex
Densive and not likely to be under
taken in this generation.

DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
TO PERLEY B. CLAWSON

Suddenly and apparently without
warning, Mr.. Perley B. Clawson died
Wednesday morning about o'clock
of apoplexy. From the time he was
stricken until his death was not
over ten minutes. Some weeks ago
he had sick spell, but of late had
appeared better than usual, and his
death came as distinct shock to
the family. He was about 65 years
or age, and was son of the late
John and Elizabeth Wymer Claw
son. He was born and spent prac-
tically all of his life in Morgan
county. He was good farmer, and
at the time of his death owned two
farms on Lemon Hill About four
years ago he retired from the farm
and moved to this place. In the
year 1884 he was married to Miss
Alice Fogle. She survives; also the
following children: Edward Claw
son of Lemon Hill; Mrs. Edna Stew
art, wife of E. E. Stewart of East
Bloom, and Chester Clawson of
Deerfeld. One son, George, died in
infancy Mr.. Clawson leaves nine
grandchildren, and sister Mrs.
Phoebe Gillespie of Salt Run. The
latter is the only surviving member
of a family of seven. Mr. Clawson
was member of the Lemon Hill U.

SEVERAL STORES BROKEN
INTO EARLY THIS MORNING

During Wednesday night the
stores of Frank Finley, Geo. Lowell
and the Morris Hardware of this
place were broken into. In each
place entrance was made through
the back windows. Just what was
taken can hardly be determined at
this time. At Finley's they broke
into the back door of the meat shop,
and broke the glass in the middle
door leading into the grocery. They
were in the matches. cigars, candy,
etc, and took 50 in pennies from
the cash drawer, but left 50 worth
of nickels At Loyeil's, entrance
was made by breaking the windows
over the toilet. Two suit cases are
missing. also shoes, sweaters, shirts
and caps are known to have been
taken. At Morris Hardware the
window glass was broken and the
sash lock unlocked. While the
cases were rummaged through,
about all that seems to be missing
is some pocket knives.
Women residing in the Stanbery
building heard parties trying to get
in, and state the time was about 2
o'clock. 1t is said that there is a
pretty good clew as to the guilty
party.
