WpAT PR, 14 TO liT P.B-' OtlhlXO THE CfUXOSM UI91T llU pOOB SUKU A STATE Last week we gave. i)m particulars regarding an 'alleged camr of malprao-ticeirf which a Durand lady wm Ue rlndpal i offerer, and in which a Beloit doctor figured extensively, r' The Beloit Frsi Pres champions bb causf, and in Mturdayb Whatever relation the doctor-' may have held in the matter, it net be principal in the fatal attempt to thwart theUwof natoie, but rather a ihyslcian whose professional skill and md well-known kindneu of heart, were demanded to ward off threatening, dam gers eated lion corrector not we have no means at this time of demonstrating, but with our knowledge of the character of Dr. we shall believe that it ia cor-net until convinced by bis own statement to tbe The Monday's issue of tb Press cousins along statement. made by tbedoo-or, In which be malms to be an entirely nnoctot party, and sbl fts tbe responsibility on the llrltig and the dead.1 He claims that he did not perform an abortion, and that be simply went 'through a pretended operation.

-The doctor exonerates himself, from all blame In tbe matter, and in strong terms denounces the statements made in tha Rockford fokhow nothing whatever regaining the guilt or innocence of the doctor, but we do know that tbe citizens pf Durand are very much iworked np about, tbe matter, and that the end is not yet. The Durand Argus Mltor endeavors to crawfish out of some statements he made to tha- Rockford reporters, and the- Rev. W. J. Libber ton, who -made some strong assertions, comes oat in a statement, saying tbe with ilm in theltockfoid Register to not correct.

The Register devotes considerable apace to him, and placet the clerical gentleman in a moat unpleasant post-ion. In the cduree of it remarks It saya: "Of coarse, tbe facto of the an-ortunste affslr are denied by no one, rat tbe effort Of the Methodist minister to avoid responsibility for. his state meats made moat unreservedly. It will not do, however.

Bpadmsking about to begin in tbe country, and hlghWay officers owe it to the public, whom they are employed to serve, to make their work systematic. Too much of the work every year is undertaken' without any well-defined plan. The pldws and'serapers are taken out and the work done at random. If ever; commissioner and overseer wouhl study the roads more, make a plan as If intending to bhtld a there would be more rapid? progress in the construction of highways that would not needi. repairing every year, An Important matter to be considered at tbe.

outset is drainage. Fix sluiceways and ditchos so the waterM never stand even, or nearly even, with the roadbed. Then round, up. the center ao that the. water will, run off.

Use gravel where obtainable, butonly where tbe radbed is sufficiently rounded so that uirt ill ndt have to lie subsequently used. It will pay better to make a half a mile of good road in each district than to half do a mile. Whatever if 'donrahtOulde-vrelldonei Whatever is begun should be finished. A few scrapers full of dirt, left In piles with hollows between, to catch and hold the water of every shower, may be of ser-vice to the blacksmiths and tsan aggravattofiiaid a TrulF tul source of profanity to the luckless traveler. Study the roads.

Decide how much ban he done with the means at command. Make up youf mind fully what points you will give- your attention, and having done this, go Jour work with a determination to complete what you art about, In this way only will Lake county ever secure -gold rbada.
