Summer Homes.

Ill the Lake regions of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and Bakota, there re 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 easily reached by railway and range in variety from the "full dress for dinner" to the flannel-shirt cos tume for every meal. Among the list 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 "bnsy 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 resorts, 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 ote remedy has met these conditions, and that is Century Catarrh Cure. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered Catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and surgeons concede this fact. The most distressing symptons yield to it.

The New Court House Commenced.

Today a large force of workmen began the excavation for the New Court House. A prominent tax payer who knew of the suit which ||was brought to compel the Commissioners to do the fair thing by the tax payers and let the contract to the lowest bidder asked "Is there no remedy?" The case which was brought will be appealed to the .Supreme Court, but it is a rough road to litigate to secure rights. The taxpayers however have a most potent remedy against such a system and they will use it this fall. Who is there that can defend the present actions of the commissioners except interested parties.

THE SECRET OUT,

Commisslonioner W. M. Thomas Now Owns the Fence.

When the fine iron fence around the Court House was sold last week every one was surprised that it went at such a low price, $3.00 a rod. It would have brought four or five times as much had it been properly advertised and sold in lots to suit purchases. When it cost $30.83 per rod and sold for $3.00 some one got a big bargain. Linza Walker of Jackson Township bid the fence off but County Commissioner William M. Thomas also of Jackson Township is now owner of the fence. As he bought it of Mr. Walker some things are more readily understood now than they were before. Why not have men for County Commissioners who will protect the inferest of the tax payer.

Noble War rum Jr.'s Growins Reputation,

A copy of the Salt .Lake City Tribune states that Hon. Noble Warrum Jr., of Logan, is being considered forjthe position as editor in chief of the Salt Lake Herald, which is the leading Democratic paper in Utah. The paper hasjrecently changci both ownership and policy, hence the old editor, B. H. Roberts, who was an elder in the Mormon church resigned. «The new policy believes in divorcing the church from politics and hence wants an editor along that line. Mr. Warrum since going to Logan, Utah, has for the greater part of the time been editor of the Logan City Jourmal aud has demonstrated that he is a vigorous, aggressive and able editor, hence his consideration for the position as editor-in chief of the Herald. Mr. Warrum was appointed by President Cleveland Probate Judge, lie was «ne of the leading, active and most influential members of the convention which framed the Utah State Constitution. He is now a State Senator. Mr. Warrum is a lawyer but '.his natural tendancies are toward journalism. His first venture in that line being in Greenfield, where in connection with Harry Strickland they published the Daily Toothpick. It was a hummer and stirred things up. We wish Noble as an old Hancock county boy continued success, prosperity and honors.
