claimed for it should re ceive the endorsement of those it helps so that others may have a chance to participate in its good qualities My kidneys were weak and sluggish prob ably caused by too close confinement at my calling At all events their condi tion showed that I needed some medicine and I procured Kidney Pills at a drug store At the present time and it is some months since stopped the treatment my kidneys are in perfect order I give Kidney Pills the credit for the Just such emphatic endorsement can he had right here in Kenosha Drop into Starkweather drug store and ask what their

The new Sheridan road bill substi: tute for No 239 drawn up by Sena tor Eaton of Milwaukee was presented to the legislature at Madison last week and is now before the Senate committee It differs from the original bill in that it provides only lor a survey of the road and leaves the matter optional with the counties besides putting a limit of $500 on the expense required whereas the old bill authorized the establishment of the road setup definite limit to the expense and did not leave it optional with the people The new bill as presented to the legislature is as follows: A bill to authorize the making of a preliminary survey of a State road from the southern boundary of the State of Wisconsin to the city of Milwaukee The people of the State of Wiscon sin represented in Senate and Assembly do enact as follows: Section 1 The persons hereinafter named may at any time within years from and after the passage abd publication of this act survey a conu ous state road from the south line ot the town of Pleasant Prairie in the county of Kenosha at a point neat the shore of Lake Michigan thence northerly along or near the shore of Lake Michigan through the said town of Pleasant Prairie and to and through the city of Kenosha and through the town of Somers in the county of Kenosha through the town of Mount Pleasant and the city of Racine in tl'e county of Racine and the town if Caledonia in said county and the town of Oak Creek and th lV Of South Milwaukee and village of in the county of Milwaukee and through the town of Lake in said county to the southern limits of the city of Milwaukee Section 2 -Such road may be sur-veed upon such parts of existing highways or streets as to such persons may seem proper and be of such width Berlin April 7 An agreement has been reached between the three powers (the United Stains Great Britain and Germany) on two propositions namely: The appointment by each power of a high official to investigate and regulate the conditions prevailing at Samoa and the making of unanimity necessary in all decisions of these high officials The newspapers hail the result of the negotiations with satisfaction Washington April The German ambassador Dr von Holleben called at the state department Thursday to felicitate Secretary Hay on the satisfactory adjustment of the Samoan affair Even as late as Wednesday night the last possibilities of a hitch had not disappeared but late in the day official dispatches were received from Berlin stating that as a result of conferences between the German British and American representatives a settlement was assured The main feature of this conference was a determination that the high commission would act by unanimous vote and not through a majority This is on the theory that the delegates will be of high character that unanimous agreement will be certain although there is of course the possibility of a deadlock The present tendency is not to provide a final arbitrator but to assume that the commission will agree among themselves This eliminates for the present King Oscar of Sweden who has been mentioned for umpire The German ambassador and members of his staff also made a call at the British embassy thus further evidencing the agreeable relations which have suddenly taken the place of the rather strained conditions heretofore prevailing on Samoa Commissioners Met The commissioners appointed to assess benefits and damages for the opening and extending of Exchange street consisting of Messrs Charles Yule Simmons McDowell and Strong met yesterday afternoon at the City Hall and completed a large part of the work The only objection filed thus far is from the Bain interests at the south end of the street They claim it would injure their property to put the street through The commissioners will meet again Saturday at which time they will receive all objection and after that they finish all the business in connection with opening the street granted as the assessment laws pro vide for such a case On the petition of Mrs James we would recommend that no rebate be granted On the petition of Herman Gandt we would recommend to no rebate
