tional lines, and in n progressive spirit.
Tho Btrcota aro to bo built on mod

"A NEW STREET POLICY. .
It must bo plain to tho business men
and property owners that a now policy
of -street improvement should bo
adapted by this city.
For thirty years tho present policy
Bias prevailed, which is no policy at
sail, but has cost enough to build flno
jpavements.
Tho past year tho street work fell in
to tfio hands of conservativo influ
cneos, to put it mildly, and it has boon
gravel, gravel, gravel.
It has not oven boon intelligent
gravel screened grnvol, but tho un
screened river gravid, sand and mud,
mixed by tho hand of nnturer-
It ought not tako n slcdgo-bammor
4o drive It into tho crnniums of the city
couneil that u hotter system is badly
m ceded.
If streets are, to be paved nt tho ex
onso "of' tho abutting property then
ithcro must bo a now policy adopted of
using tho strcot funds.
If tho fronthgo Is to grade, gravel
Macadam or pavo tho stroet, then tho
property should bo relieved of furthor
tax, or that tax should bo employed to
clean and sprinklo tho strcots, nnd
vkoep them In repair. Lot the city coun
ell consider if tho tlmo has nunc for n
wow policy.

HUMILIATION OF RUSSIA.
''After months of persistent effort on
tho part of tho Japanese army and
fleet, tho ilefensos nt Port Arthur havo
nearly sueoumbod to tho sharp aud tcr
rlflo attacks, and tho proud Russians
txret compelled to admit that their days
in tho inodorn fortress nro numbered.
- 'Thq. very best cnginoriug systems
linown to wurfuro wero used in tho
construction of tho many forts, nnd
tiyory posslhlo natural ndvnntago was
utilized with a view of making it n
fioennd Gibraltar.
Tho fortllloatioiiH wero mnnned with
tho heaviest guits that nro mado, and
iTuhsIu felt seeuro in tho thought that
tho elty was safe from tho attacks nnd
could hold out for nu'lndeflnlto period.
I ,T!io Japaueso genorals undertook an
-almost Impossible task, but-they havo
lomoustrntod that they wero equal to
J I. Liven counted fur naught in tho
anurilerims warfare that they have
waged, and the loss of llfo has boon
?ippnlling. The world has viewed tho
battles from afar, but has not failed to
marvel at tho bnwory and dctcrmiua-
will como peace, but those who have rolchischo Qcsellschaft fur Meteorolo-
powers of recuperation doubt this. The I
great czar has n firm belief in the
power of tho church, and ho will not
yield to temporary reverses and suo
for peace. Ify cannot afford to. Tho
spirit of unrest which is gathorlng in
his domains will rule his actions to n
great extent, and whether he can
meekly submit to tho terms imposed
by tho victors is doubtful. t
Tho common pcoplo of Russia aro
not warriors, but they bellovo that the
great empire of which thoy nro citl-
xons is ablo to copo with tho allied
powers of the earth. Tho resources of
tho country nro almost unlimited, and
tho strugglo can bo prolonged indoU
nltcly, although tho sacrifices would bo
terrible to contemplate. Japan would
bo willing to arrango peace if it could
with proper dignity, but whether that
chnnco will como to tho Mikado is very
doubtful. Tho bear has been wounded,
lu purso and honor, humiliated before
tho world and trampled upon with a
vengeance. It will requiro a peculiar
balm to allay tho sores and hcul tho
wounds recently buffered.

"Vertigo" thedoctors call
it. You naturally fear it is brain
trouble, nervous prostration,
heart disease.
But your doctor will tell
you it is your liver. A slug
gish liver means a poor circula
tion, a congested brain, a dis
ordered stomach, constipated
bowels.
Ayer's Pills are liver pills.
They act directly on the liver. You will need
only one each night for a few nights. Your indi
gestion and biliousness will quickly disappear.

In tho maintenance of tho streets and
roads so little cxpcrlonco has been had
on tho part of tho highway commis
sioners and tho pcoplo in general that
it is usually thought that when a road
is onco built that it will maintain
itself. Many highway officers feel
this samo way toward a bridge, and no
gleet to paint it, but oven a bridge
built of iron, when neglected, loses its
strength, just tho samo ns n road built
of stone, if neglected, will go to pieces.
Tho rcnl llfo of a stono road is depend
ent upon tho enro which it receives dur
ing tho first six months after it is fin-
ished, and tho perpetual attention
which it receives nftor that. Some
think that wh.n a road is completed
that if tho looso stones aro raked off
onco in six months, that it will main
tain itsolf for thrco or four .years,
nrfd then tho rood enn bo resurfaced
with top dressing nnd a steam roller,
and again becomo as good as new, and
ready to go thrco yoars longer without
attention. This method of caring for
ronds is far from oconomical and sat
isfactory. Tho best way to maintain
n road is, as soon ns it is turned over
by tho contractors, to cngago a man
to tako charge of a fivo-milo section at
an agreed prico per year, and put him

Eighteen Miles From Home.
Uy William T. llodgo, is a study in
real llfo of n villago boy, who works
in a cooper slop aud longs to go on tho
stage. Now ho Is mistaken by n hyp
notic fakir, his dlbilluslonlzation, nud
returns to his cooper shop. Tho author
humiliates his hero at overy turn. At
last ho Is on trial for stealing a cow,
somo diamonds, some montty, boing a
detective nnd u desperado. In tho end
is ono gleam of rdensuro, whon the.
young man walks down tho street hanil
in bund with his Bweotheart in tho sunn

great merit. Humor glitters on every
page. Small, Maynard & Co., publish
