W Grave's lmrn" l no rh hnx tic Representative Delegation of Inde pendence Business Men Urge Im portance of Sidney Road. A representative delegation of Inde pendence business men came over on a special motor Wednesday morning and made known to the County Court the wishes of the people of Inde pendence ana vicinity concerning road extensions and improvements in the east end of Polk county. The principal object of the visit was to lend support and endorsement to the petition of citizens of Polk and Marion counties for a County road from Inde pendence to Sidney, but the improve ment of the Independence-Salem road between the Brunk bridge and Inde pendence also came in for a large share of the discussion. Dr. O. D. Butler, president of the Independence Improvement League, stated the object of the visit and urged the importance of favorable con sideration of the petition for a county road to Sidney. David Calbreath ex plained to the Court that there are 25 families in Folk county and a larger number of people in Marion county who would be benefited by the con struction of the road. He said that the cost of the road would be small, and that a large amount of trade that now goes to other points would come to Polk county if this road were built. Charles A. Park, of Marion county, informed the Court that $1000 had already been expended in the con struction of the road on the Marion county side of the river, and gave it as his opinion that Polk county would receive a greater benefit from the opening of the road than would Marion county. After a brief dis cussion, in which the members of the Court and the visiting delegation took part, the petition was taken under advisement. The improvement of the Salem-In dependence road then came up for consideration, and earnest pleas for the repairing of the Brunk bridge and the graveling of two miles of the road were made by W. W. Percival, P. M. Kirkland, Walter Lyon and David Calbreath. The claim was made that this road has been sadly neglected of late, and the members of the Court were invited to drive over it at the ex' pense of the Improvement League. The invitation was accepted, and the inspection will probably be made this week. W. W. Percival called the attention of the Court to the importance of ap pointing a Deputy Stock Inspector for the stock yards at Independence, and asked them to take the matter under consideration. The members of the Leaguo com prising the delegation were : President Butler, Walter Lyon, U. L. Frazer, J. M. Stark, E. E. Paddock, W. W. Percival, G. A. Hurley, W. A. Messner, M. Porterfield, David Calbreath, M. Kirkland, J. Dornsife, C. Kurre, Charles Brown, Riley Craven, Dr. J. Thompson, McCready and Charles Calbreath.

People are learning that con sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of bcott s hmulsion and begin regular doses. The use of Scott's Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt use of Scott's Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Send for free sample. SCOTT & EOWNE, Cbemiiu, 409-415 Foul Street, Hew kufk. oc. and f i.oo-, all dreggisU. The Renewal a Strain. Vacation is over. Again the school bell rings at morning and noon, again with tens of thousands the hardest kind of work has begun, the renewal of which is a mental and physical strain to all except the most rugged. The little girl that a few days ago had rose3 in her cheeks, and the little boy whose lips were then so red you would have insisted that they had been "kissed by strawberries," have already lost something of the appearauco of health. Now is a time when many children should be given a tonic, which may avert much serious trouble, and we Know of no other so highly to be recommended as Hood's Sarsapa rilla, which strengthens the nerves, perfects digestion and assimilation, and aids mental.development by build ing up the whole system.
