The Instruments for the telephone line betweon Yankton and St. Helens are 'all placed, the one at this end being la the drug store, and telephone communi cation between tbe two places, including Houlton, is now possible. Connections were made Wednesday, and everything is working perfectly smooth. The Yank ton people, who are so keenly interested in the success of the line are jubilant. The convenience of the line cannot be overestimated. Benton county is also troubled with an epideinlo of bad roads. It seems odd that in so wealthy a county as Benton and one . of the first settled sections of the state there should be such condi tion of roads as are described in the following item taken from the Corvallis Gazette; "It la a publio outrage that the county roads should be in the con dition we And some of them at present. For instance, between Philomath and Corvallis, a distance of about seven utiles, the roads are in such a bad condl tlon in many wlaites that a feathur bed would sink out of sight almost instantly, For this deplorable state of affairs there is no excuse. This is one of the mainly traveled roans oi the county and is old enough to have had something substan tial dona on it. The public Is largely to mame tor this condition and It Is a sad commentary that if the public deserved any better roads they would have them." "Murder will out," notwlthstandin the saying of the old woman, who toll that site killed her husband twenty years ago, and because) it had not been discovered before, she knew there was no truth In the saying. About two years ago mere were two light wagon wheels stolen from the charge of Fred Zellar, who was to take them to Ver nonla tor some party over there. On Monday, while Constable Godfrey was at the Kenowski place, lie found, two wheels hiu under tne hay in the barn, which are said to do me wneeia which so mysteriously disappeared. From all accounts there is no telling what has been stolen and secreted away about the premises in question. It might be well for the parties at Vernonla who lost the pair of wagon wheels to examine the ones recent ly lounu. George Clark was up from his home back of Reuben. Wednesday, paying taxes and attending to other business matters. Clark brothers are three of the progressive young men of that por tion of the county, at present being ex tensively enguged In tbe manufacture of tutu Der ami shinnies, tbe latter in ner ticular. About a year and a half ago these gentlemen purchased the tiorgren mill, refitted it and operated it until aboat two months ago they purchased an entire new lot of machinery, which has just recently been started in opera tion. Thev have not erected a kiln, bat as their product is cut from dead timber their shinnies need but little drying. They expect to deliver their product at it en oe n during the summer, and being of first-class quality, will find a ready market. Tomorrow (Saturday) night the Rain ier Dramatic Club will present the roar ing farce comedy "Captain Rocket," at the epera bouse in that city. The cast Is competed of strictly home talent, all popular young folks, who have devel oped much ability in their work and the several roles thev take. There are eight characters in the piny and thero is no doubt at all but that those who attend will witness a production highly enter taining. The proceeds from this effort are to he donated to tbe public school fund of that city, a moat laudablo thing, and tbe people of the community will show their appreciation by giving tbe players a crowded house. The Houlton school closes today, after a several months' successful term. The schoolchildren there and the people of that pluce are to give an entertainment and basket social at Perry's hall next Monday evening. There ia to be a mis cellaneous literary programme rendered, followed by the social, a general invi tation is extended to everybody to be present.

Georire Mnvgar met with a very severe accident in this city last Monday morn ing. From the enecta ot morpnine taken to relieve neuralgia in his teeth, he became faint, while sitting on the porch railing at Dr. Ross' residence, and fell backwards to the around, a distance of about five feet, striking en his head, where a very severe wound was sus tained, besides receiving injuries to bis back.

Miss Estella Lindsay, who has been since last fall employed in Portland, came quite unexpectedly to the heme ot her aunt, Mra. Joseph Reed, last Sun day, March 16th. Very fortunate tor Mrs. Reed as she had been confined to her bed several daya with the la grippe, but is much improved at the present writing. Louder and nearer and from every di rection comes the rumbling of railroad news. Yes, yes, we just as much ex pect to be relieved of our present toil some mode of travel by snch promises as we would think to be relieved from toothache by a dose of cod liver oil.

"I contracted a severe case oi rheumatism early last winter by getting my feet wet. I tried several things for It without benefit. One day while looking over tbe Gazette, I noticed that Pain Balm was positively guaran teed to cure rheumatism, so bought a bottle of it and before unlnr two-thirds of it inv rheumatism bad taken its flight ana i nave not uaa a rheumatic pain since."
