The district township of Howard
has levied a tax, we understand, to
pay damages of establishing a public
highway, and the board of supervi
sors have established the road on
payment of damages and costs. What
puzzles us is. where the district town
ship finds authority to appropriate
any of the funds it may raise by tax
ation for any such use. If there is
no authority for it the payment should
be enjoined.

H. Marshall of St.

Rumsey of Cresco, la., Sept. 18th at
8 p. m. at the residence of the
bride's mother l£ miles east of Cres

The bride and groom are well
known having grown up In Howard
county. The presents were numer

in St. Louis October 1st.
Although there were no saloons in
Cresco during Fair week, whiskey
was about as plentiful on the grounds
as water aud as easily obtaiped. This
farce that is called prohibition, with
the drug stores wide open to the sale
of whiskey, is a sort of regulation
that don't regulate. Druggists ure
like other men, after the money in
the traffic. A Mitchelll county man
who hud twice supplied his friends
with a filled bottle of whiskey with
out being asked to sign the regulation
application for it, said that ''Cresco
didn't need a saloon, the drug stores
could supply the demand."
Our experience with mankind forces
the conclusion that all men in a bus
iness way are alike that the saloon
keeper and the druggist alike are in
the liquor traffic for the money that's
in it, not for the health of the dealer
or that of the publio. The man who
doubts it has much to learn.

that makes it plain to the dullest
comprehension. Transportation, tax

a very intelligent and readable way.

humor are numerous—needless to
say taken advantage of. The addition
of an electrio calcium is valuable as
it shows the Persitm silks in all their
