Another accident has occurred at the unlucky Cary gravel pits. An engineer had bis right arm severed at the should- der and his left hand cut off last Wed­ nesday.

Illinois nimrods may now shoot squirrels, the law permitting their destruction between July 1 and Nov. 15.

The North Western has installed a first class telephone service from Chica­ go to Baraboo, and every station is equipped with a telephone of the latest patteru, to be used by the train dispatch­ er.

A disastrous fire, starting from a de­ fective gas lighting system, nearly de­ stroyed the business porti»a>of the vil­ lage of Kingston, three miWs west of Genoa on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, early last Thursday morning. The total amount of the damage is in excess of $13,500, and .Jt is understood that a large portion of this sum will be a complete loss, because the owners of several buildings had no in­ surance. A movement is on foot to extend the present Y. M. C. A. library at Wood­ stock and persons interested in the work among young men are being asked to contribute shch books as they wish, to make up a better library equipment. A number of contributions have already been made, and it "is expected that others will shortly come in.

G. gldredge, who has been engaged as the additional teacher, will have the fifth and sixth grades, Miss Birdie Small the third and fourth grades, and Mrs. Grace Keyesthe first and second grades. The northern Illinois dairy district is producing more milk this summer than at any time since the record-breaking dairy season of 1893, according to the unanimous statement of Elgin creamery- men. Creameries, bottling plants and condensers are flooded with a mammoth supply of milk, which it is predicted, will make 1908 the record dairy year in the history of the milk industry. The Borden Condensed Milk company, which for years past has accepted all milk pro­ duced by its dairymen, is said to be holding the dairymen to their contracts. It is said that hundreds of gallons of milk are being turned daily from the doors of some of the big companies' Itotoriet in this dairy district "The rural mail carriers of ifcHenry as well as in other towns are accomo dating fellows and are always willing to -do errands for patrons along the route. Whether they have a buggy full of mail and no merchandise or a buggy full of unstamped bundles and no mail their salary is the same. But your Uncle Sam has a word to say regarding the carrying of bundles, and no matter how accommodating the carrier would like to be he must live up to the law or lose his job. The ruling laid down by the post office department regarding this matter is found in Section 98 of the code of instruc­ tions for rural mail carriers, and reads as follows: "Rural carriers are permitted to carry outside of the mails, for hire for and up­ on request of patrons of their routes, only nnmailable articles or packages of merchandise, articles and packages of mailable matter weighing over 4 pounds and mailable and unmailable articles when combined in one package whether weighing in the aggregate more or less than 4 pounds, provided such articles are received from one merchant or pat­ ron. But intoxicating liquors (ardent, vinous, spirituous, or malt), explosives, liquids liable to explosion by shock or jar, or to spontaneous combustion, or any article exhaling bad odor, shall not in any circumstances becarriad by rural carriers in their vehicles while on the service of their routes, or while they have mail in their custody for delivery or dispatch." For the Public Oood. An independent and ably edited news paper which commands a great circula­ tion is probably the most potent in fluence for good in the United States to­ day. The power for the better things in public affairs and policies, for in stance, which is wielded by such a newspaper as the Chicago Record- Herald can scarcely be exaggerated, and[ much of that strength comes in the case of this leading Chicago daily from the fact that it is absolutely independ­ ent, fearless and fair. It is not the mouthpiece of any interest except that of the public. The Record-Herald champions the cause of the good, the clean, the beneficial in every matter of city, state or national moment. It is the knowledge on the part of its read­ ers that it cares not whom it hits or what enemies it makes, bo long as it is battling for the welfare of the commun ity, which gives to the Record-Herald much of the influence it enjoys. It gives in its news columns the most com­ plete and impartial reports of political events, another evidence of its splendid news service. The Remedy That Does. "Dr. King's New Discovery is the remedy that does the healing; others promise but fail to preform," says Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Auburn Centre, Pa. "It is curing me of throat and lung trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieved only temporarily New Discovery is doing me so much good that I feel confident its continued use for a reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health. " This renowned cough and cold remedy and throat and lung healer is sold at N. H. Petesch's drugstore. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Government Land Opening. Tripp County, ,S. I).

Thoasaods Hare Kidnaj t Trouble and Never Suspect It Prrvnli'iicr of Kidney Disease. Most people do not realize the alarm­ ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney dis­ orders are the most common diseases that pre­ vail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and phy­ sicians, who con­ ten t themse lves with doctoring the- effects^ while the orig­ inal disease undermines the system. What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne­ cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, aiid to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis­ tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by drug­ gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may"have a sample bolt1 ""•1 book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kihner & Co., Bittg- haroton, N. V.

Corris, the Russell mail man who discovered the presence of the deadly loco plant in Lake county, noted only fifty in the space of twenty-five miles along his route and believes that if prompt measures are taken the pest which is so deadly to horses and cattle may be exterminated. It is believed that seeds of the weed were dropped from freight cars or come in hay or grain from the west and were thus fixed in Lake county soil. The plant grows twenty-four inches high or so and bears a blossom something like those on pea vines, to which the plant itself bears a similarity in many ways. The flowers are a yellowish white and long and narrow. The stem is Btiff and pithy and the leaves are lance shaped. Farmers are exercised over the presence of the weed and will take measure's to stamp it out at once, before any cattle get "locoed," as the term is on the western plains. Horses and cattle that eat the weed become insane, it would appear, and are unmanageable. It Can't Be Beat. The best of all teachers is experience. C." M. Harden, of Silver City, North Carolina, says: "I find Elect!ic Bitters does all that's claimed for it. ̂ For Stom­ ach, Liver and Kidney troubles it can't be beat. I have tried it and find it a most excellent medicine." Mr. Harden is right; it's the best of all medicines also for weakness, lame baifk, and all run down conditions. Best too for chills and malaria. Sold under gnarantee'at N. H. Petesch's drug store. 50c. Low Rates Knit via The North Western Line.
