Gillam Gravel Road Accepted.

Benjamin Faris was in from Gillam township Tuesday, on which occasion the commissioners finally accepted the Gillam gravel road, which has been in course of construction for the past four years. Mr. Faris has been acting as superintendent of the road for several months, having succeeded A. W. Prevo, the former superintendent who went to Idaho for the benefit of his wife’s health. The road is 13 miles long, in three sections, as follows: The Vernon road of 4 miles, the Independence road of 7 miles and the Gillam road 2 miles in length. The contract was taken for the construction of the road by Glidewell & Son, of Greencastle, and was taken too low. which accounts for the length of time they employed in completing it The contractors have been building road down near Greencastle, the elder Glidewell says, to make money to build the road in Gillam township. The completed and accepted road la a good one, and worth all it cost

HERE’S A RINGER FOR WARREN SPRINGER.

Chicago Judge Grills Him Severely and in Reversing Decision He Charges Springer With Fraud. Warren Springer, owner of the big Springer ranch near Kniman, was handed a hot one by Justice Adams, of the appellate court in Chicago Monday. Springer is an extensive land owner in this county and is quite well known in Rensselaer. The following account is taken from the Chicago Tribune, which also published Springer’s picture: Justice Adams, of the Appellate court, in an opinion filed yesterday, grilled Warren Springer, a real estate dealer, in reversing judgment in a suit by Gertrude A. Kouechle against Springer for damages. The lower court instructed the jury to find for Springer. Justice Adams, in reviewing the case, said: “The evidence discloses a deliberate, premediated, malicious, and cunningly devised scheme by the defendant, Springer, and his confederates. to defraud, by means of the worthless notes of an insolvent person, unsecured by anything of value, any person whom they could induce to purchase the notes or take them in payment for anything of value, and the plaintiff fell a victim to this scheme. The fraud, beside being proved by the plaintiffs evidence, is impliedly admitted by the defendant’s failure to produce any evidence in contradiction of it.” In 1897 the plaintiff and her husband were living at 4727 St. Lawrence avenue. Each owned a half interest in Council Bluffs (la.) property valued at SIB,OOO and incumbered for $3,500. Mrs. Kouechle also owned 36 acres of farm land at Merrill, Wis., Incumbered for $3,500. Her husband, acting as her agent listed the Wisconsin property for sale with a man named Silver, a real estate broker known to Springer. The latter visited Kouechle and said he would effect a trade for the farm land. Kouechle was to receive $4,000 face value mortgage notes on property at 588 Monroe street in return. The Monroe street property was represented as worth SIOO,OOO and having an annual rental value of $9,000.

Before making the trade Kouechle was introduced to a man who said he represented a Methodist church fund and had $400,000 to loan, and that he was ready to, buy Jhe mortgage notes tor cash from Kouechle. After signing an agreement for the trade Kouechle learned that the notes were without value. He brought suit in Wisconsin and recovered that property, and his wife then filed action in the Superior court to recover damages from Springer. From the evidence offered the court it appears that Kouechle was taken to Silver’s office, where he was introduced to a man named Baddeaux, who said that he was willing to produce a person that would pay cash for the mortgage notes. Baddeaux introduced one McKinnon, who said that he represented "the Methodist church fund” and was willing to buy the notes if Kouechle had them with him. Kouechle hadn’t the notes, but gave John E„ Maginnis, brother-in-law of Springer, a warranty deed for the Wisconsin property.

Kouechle then obtained the mortgage notes and went to Silver to obtain cash for them. Silver referred him to Baddeaux, who referred him to McKinnin. The latter declined to cash the notes on the ground that he had learned they were secured only on the leasehold of the building.

GOOD COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never used anything other than Cham berlain’a Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction.” This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult For Sale by B.

Popular Vote for Superintendents.

Representative J. G. Harris, of Bloomington, who will represent Monroe and Brown counties in the next legislature, will introduce a bill for the election of the county superintendents of schools by popular vote instead of the township trustees, as at present “I can see no reason,” said Mr. Har rls, "why the people should not be permitted to vote for the county superintendent the same as for any/other office. If they are capable of electing a good man for county treasurer or county auditor it seems that they could likewise select an efficient man to manage their schools. “In many instances tie campaigns of those who are seeking the office of trustee are managed by those who are after the county superintendent's place. Often the .expenses of a candidate for trustee are paid by the candidate for county superintendent It seems to me that it would be much better to let the people vote.” ’
