Summer Homes.

In the Lake regions of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota, there [are hundreds of .charming localities pre-eminently fitted for summer homes. Nearly all are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out.

These resorts are vsily reached by rail way and range in variety from the "full dress for dinner" to the flannel-shirt cos tutne for every meal. Among the lifot are names'familiar to many of our readers as the perfection of Nothern summer resort.

Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them are so far away from the "busy marts of civilization" that they cannot be reached in a few hours of travel, by frequent trains over the finest road in the northwest— the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.Paul Railway. A description of the principal resort?, with list of summer hotels and boarding houses, and rates for board will be sent free on* application to Robt. C. Jones, Travling Passenger Agent, 40 Crew Building, Cincinnati, O. 128x2 od&w

The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past few years proves that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Century Catarrh Cure. This safe and pleasant remedy ha9 mastered Catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and surgeons concede this fact. The most distressing

M. C. Fort, of this city, is spoken of prominently by leading citizens both Republicans and Democrats as a man who can be elected Commissioner of the Middle district.

We do not know Mr. Fort's feelings in the premise, but he is quite popular among Democrats as well as Republicans. He is a retired farmer and has demonstrated his ability as a financier all through life.

If such is the law we see no reason why the commissioners could not award the contract to the highest bidder if for any reason they desired to do so. Where does such a law protect the tax payers. We should like to have seen that case tried on its merits as some grave charges are made and tkere should be the fullest and freest investigation. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court at once by the attorneys, R. A. Black and Downing & Hough.

HELD GOOD.

The Demurrer to the Complaint in the Mandamus Proceeding «••»«!.

Today Judge Oflutt gav in the mandamus proceedings brought by contractor, Aaron Campfield, of Richmond, against the County Commissioners to compel them to award the new court house contract to him on account of his being the lowest and best bidder. Judge Offutt held the demurrer to the complaint to be good. He held that the commissioners had discretionary power and wer» not necessarily compelled to award the contract to the lowest bidder, but conld award it to the bidder deemed by them the lowest, responsible bidder.

typhoid fever.

The circular shows that there were in Indiana last year 8,100 cases of the fever, and 2,400 deaths. It is estimated that this loss is .equivalent to $5,235,000 in money. Ninety-fire per cent, of all cases of typhoid fever proceed from drinkingwater, and therefore a close investigation must be made of every well from which the patient'may have drank from 7

days preceeding the attack. Communities that are thus forewarned of danger ought to take advanced steps in the matter of self protection. Several localities in Hancock county have for several years suffered from the ravages of this dreaded disease. We trust strict care will be given to the water supply, and that no chance of pollution will be permitted to exist. In this care lies the safety of the people.
