Cur Roads.

Ed. .Register.-I was much pleased at
Judge HoIloman's letter in your last issue
about road building.
'His head is level" on this, as on other
subjects.
Undoubtedly good rogds is the all i'm
portant question now before ths psople of
our county.
We are out of debt. Our public buildings
are all in good order. Our poor are reason
ably well provided for, and our surplus
revenue can now be applied to improving
the public roads, and opening new ones
where needed-and some new ones are
needed, especially in the Belleyiew region.
The Judges suggestion 10 open q new
road on Marble Greek to avoid several bad
fords and save several expensive bridges is
undoubtedly the correct and sensible thing
to do. Roads on creek banks and hill sides
are easily kept in good repair, while bridges
cost heavily and perish.
The new bridge was needed, and is cred
it 20 the county, but why don't the county
court make an order prohibiting fast driy-
ing over it:
1t is used shamefully, barbarously! 4 few
years OF such use Will certainly destroy 1t.
No doubt 4 sign at each end, foIbidding the
riding or driving over it faster than walk,
would soon put an end to all complaints.
The fast driving over 1t is not done mali
ciously. 1t is done thoughtlessly, and be-
cause the people have not been notified to
desist.
Improper notices should be put up, my
word for it, onr citizens will comply with
the rules prescribed.
Now that road building is to become a
prominent feature of the internal develop
ment Of our county, let me suggest that
there are many places whers the roads should
be Strengthened, and in other places shifted
on better ground. A little money spent now
in this direction, before further labor and
expense are put upon them, would eventual
~ prove the greatest economy and the great
est blessing. j. W. f.

week.

Mr.. Henry Schleuter, formerly of Pilot
Knob, will, for sometime to come, receive
his mail at the Iron county Jail.
Sehleuter some years ago was a saloon
keeper, and at that business he amassed con
siderable money and property. But his own
naoits Were bad; and was guilty Of, among
other crimes, long continued course of i'll
treatment of his wife. Among other things.
he whipped and abused her times without
number, and accused her of infidelity: while
In fact her character is above reproach, and
her patience and long suffering has been un-
paralleled.
At length she left him, and took with her
few household goods; she moved to Iron
ton. Schleuter gave notice that he would
pay no bills for her. She then uncomplain-
insiy went to work to make living for her.
self and children. He continued to modest
and disturb her and those at whose house
she was living. A month or two ago he was
arrested on three warrants and he was al
lowed TO plead guilty 10 two, and one was
dismissed upon his promise not to again
modest his wife,
Then he visits his wife, processes his peni-
fence for his past misconduct. He induced
her to forgive him and to again receive him
as husband, he promising to reform and to
take her away from here to new location
where he could more easily reform.
Under his direction she sold all her furni-
lure she could and gave to him the money.
Then he again broke loose and again abused
her and broke up what little she had. She
then refused to maintain with him the rela.
tons of a wife.
On the night of the 23d ult., he visited her
home, and as he had done many times before,
accused her of being intimate with another
man. The following morning he again came
and threw out of doors what little crockery
and glassware she had, and drawing his
knife cut to pieces his wife's only bed.
She appealed TO County Attorney Walker
who filed information and prosecuted vigor-
ously before Esquire Dinger and jury. The
trial came off on oath February, and the re-
suit was verdict and judgment of four
months Imprisonment, and fine of seventy
five dollars. The costs will ali be collected
as Schleuter Is solvent, he renting house in
the Knob to some parties at S25 month.
Gentlemen of the court and jury you have
done good days work. You have not only |
the law but the public sentiment behind you. |
Schleuter has paid more in fines and costs |
than any other man in our county. 1t is TO |
be hoped that Jail sentence, which he new
er before suffered, will cause him to amend |
his course.

The little difficulty on the Gould System

Last Sunday was the first time we ever
had the good fortune of hearing the organ at
the Lutheran Church. 1t is the finest toned
organ ever heard.
1t showed nearly all day Sunday on the
Knob, and it was pretty wet snow at that.
Mr.. Goodenough and Henry Amelung put
4 new cog in the place of the one that was
broken out of one of the cog wheels at the
Shaft, and it is a very neat and mechanical
job.
The new rope that was put on the Shep-

think differently, but right is right, and
wrong is wrong, and you can't make any
thing else of it.
And regarding labor, If am willing to sell
my labor for price, no man ihas right to
say you shall not do that; no man or set OF
men, has the right to say you shall take this
and no mere. or this, and NO less. Neither
has any one the right to take my property,
money, or time, without q proper eauiya-
lent. And as this is said to be a free .coun-
try will say it is free TO every man OF every
nation and cline to go to work and make as
much money and property as they can, and
enjoy the same, SO that they obey the re-
quirements of the moral and civil law.
That's INV opinion.
Now, il you search the histories of the diff
ferent nations of the world, you will find, in
all ages and among all nations, that people
bought and sold, owned houses and lands,
traded and made gain. One man may have
all his property in money, another in land
and houses. Now have right to take his
property and use it without his consent, but
with his knowledge: That would be robbery.
But TO take it without his knowledge and
consent, that would be stealing. And we all
know what the law is in regard to that, for
the Ten Commandments are the foundation
of all civil law.
So now, dear boys and girls, l want you to
begin life Alright; then you will be apt to
keep right through life; do to others as you
would have them do to you; never do or say
what you would not like to take again.

The Ice Storm.

The worst ice storm within the recol-
lection of the oldest inhabtant occurred
last week and the damage to the shade
trees, fruit trees and tclegraphic wires
was very great in the counties along the
coast. The central andnorthern portions
of the State did not suffer, the tempera-
ture being too low and the storm too
dry to adhere to trees and wires sufficient
ly to cause much injury. In Portland
particularly the injury to shade trees in
the city amounted almost to destruction,
the telephone, electric light and tlre-alarm
wires were broken down so that they were
entirely useless until repaired. The city
was in darkness except from lights placed
/ in the windows and the streets were al
most impossible from falling ice and
/ trees broken down. To add to the dis
/ comfort of the situation Thursday night
two fires broke out one on Central Wharf
and the other on Middle street Among
/ the heavy losses on Central Wharf was
the wholesale grocery firm, Foss & Deer
4 ing. Mr. Foss is citizen of Skowhegan
and his many friends here were very sor.
nv to hear of his misfortune. The stock
was a total loss but there was $4,000 in
surance upon it which helps the matter
greatly.
