Persia's Pitifu1 Plight.

Persia is in sorry way indeed. As
if she had not been sufficiently punish
ed by having an indecent, shameless
brute to rule over her, and call himself
the king Of kings she is now tied up
in hard financial knot. She has debt
of $2,5O0,O0o to pay, and no money to
pay it with. Russia very kindly offered
to loan it to her, though where Russia
was to get it from does not appear. But
the Persian border is uncomfortably
near the point at which Russia wishes
to extend her territory. So Persia has
felt constrained to decline the courtesy,
and will now apply to England. She
may, however, find that she has escaped
from the bear only to fall victim to
the lion, for England's Indian border is
also very near to some choice Persian
territory, and when England finds it
necessary to protect her innocent
bondholders" she usually does as she
has done in Egypt, and occupies the
country of the bankrupt permanently.

Smuggling Tourists.

A great many European tourists re-
turn to America each fall with more
trunks than they took with them in the
spring. The fact has frequently been
commented upon, and now Congress-
man Hall, of Minnesota, has inaugu-
rated crusade against this well known
abuse. He says that over 100000 Ameri-
cans visit Europe each year, and lay in
clothing not only for themselves, but
for their families, and smuggle it in
without paying duty, and he proposes to
place, tax on all wearing apparel
brought to the United States from for
eign countries by tourists. It came out
not long ago that number Of large
importing houses in New York and Chi.
cage paid the expenses of people coming
to America, finding it profitable to do
SO ana to smuggle goods into the
United States in this way. So that Con-
gresham Hall is not altogether wrong
IN ms crusade. The exodus to Europe,
by tne pye, promises to be much larger
than usual this year.

An Ideal Country Road.

The ideal country road is the macad-
am. The first cost is heavy, but the
roadbed can be kept in repair at small
expense, and ultimately saves to those
who use it far more than it cost. The
usual method of laying macadam
road is as follows: First, a layer of three
to six inches of broken stone, about the
size Of ones fist, to be put upon the
graded roadbed in dry weather. After
consolidation add successive layers un-
til the desired thickness has been OBJ.
tained-all the layers except the first to
he put down in wet weather or saturated
with water and rolled. Macadam's Gus.
tom was to put three layers of broken
stone to secure a depth Of nine to ten
inches. The cost of the construction
varies greatly according to the material
used, distance of transportation and
manner of putting down. A part Of
Randolph street was macadamized last
year and it furnishes test of the cost
of such work in this vicinity. After the
roadbed had been put in the proper
shape a course of broken limestone about
eight inches thick was laid and solidly
packed by sledging. On the top Of this
course of finer stone, none larger than
two inches in its largest dimensions, of
about four inches thick was laid and
thoroughly rolled with a fifteen ton
roller. The top layer was kept sprinkled
while being rolled, and it was rolled a
second time. A thin layer of gravel or
very fine stone was put over the top to
act as a binding material Limestone
was used, although it is a little too soft
to make the best roadway, because of
the crumbling or wearing away. The
cost was about $4,000 a mile.-St. Paul

To Keep Cattle from Growing Horns.

A Springfield Qlls.) journalist says that
a man living near that city has ascheme
for making mules" out of all breeds of
cattle. He has compounded sort of
salve that he rubs on the heads of calves
which prevents the growth of horns He
applies the stuff vigorously once week
from the time the calf is three months
to year old, and every one to which he
has applied the salve grows up hornless.
he preserves the strictest secrecy with
reference to the materials that are put
into the salve and as to their proportions
IN the compound, though it is known
that he uses large amount of patent
axle grease. He won't allow any of his
neighbors to experiment. with the COM
pound, for he says he wants to first sat-
isfy himself as to its efficacy.

OF the thrifty manufacturing city of Al

twentyYcond year, and is probably the
youngest mayor of any town of conse-

Democrat, but was chosen mayor of Re-

When he was nominated by his party it
was not thought he would be elected,
and his selection as candidate was
chiefly intended as an honor to bright
young man. But a local fight on the
liquor question divided his opponents
and Mr.. Excel won, and Alliance peo-

yet.

The Necessity of Good Roads.

The need Of improvement in the quail
lty OF county roads is SO severely felt in
every state Of the Union that every in
telligent effort in that direction is
worthy of recognition.
Most OF the states can better afford to
have good roads than to worry along, as
at present, with bad ones. Our roads,
as they are, cost us vast sums of money
directly, and far greater amount indi-
rectly in the increased cost Of getting
produce to market. Better systems of
road supervision, better methods of con-
struction and repair are absolutely nee
essary. The work is a vast one, but it
IS indispensable, and it cannot be prose
cuted too diligently. Cour-

lished weekly journal. He has also
done creditable work on The Evening
Review and Leader. He was born in
jackson. Mich. His parents moved to
Cleveland while he was child, and
Matthew was graduated from the high
school there in 1888. Then he entered
Mount Union college, near Alliance,
graduating from that institution in 1891.
Immediately thereafter he engaged in
newspaper work, and says he will stick
to that business. He is unmarried, and
a general favorite in social circles. Per-
haps higher political honors await him,
for his party is seriously considering him
as candidate for state representative.

Thanks to Mr. Townsend

To General Manager Oscar Townsend,
of the C., L. and W., the Republicans of
Belmont county really owe the meeting
at Flushing on last Wednesday. Gov
ernor Mckinley spoke at Norwalk the
night previous and through a miscalcula-
tion of the State Committee he was left
there with no means of reaching Flush
ing. Mr. Townsend discovered this fact
and offered the use of his private car and
a special train to bring the Governor to
Flushing. This was accepted, and for
fear something might happen Mr.. Town
send came along to see that everything
went right, not leaving the Governor
until he saw him safely landed in Bridge
port. Otherwise the people of Flushing
would have been disappointed, and we
would have had only one meeting in the
county instead of two. All at Flushing
gave Mr.. Townsend vote of thanks.

There was well attended meeting of
the st. Clairsville Republican club on
Saturday evening. After the transac-
ton of some minor routine business
Maj. Kennon was called upon and re-
sponded with neat speech on the issues
of the present campaign. He was fol-
flowed by E. E. Clevenger and t. q. Ay-
ers, both of whom touched upon some
particular phase of the contest in which
we are engaged. The club will meet
next Saturday night when instruction
will be given in voting. Let every mem
Der turn out. Judge CASTOR will address

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
Several Newsy Items of General In
terest in this Community.
W. F. NJ. 8. Convention-M Marriage Licenses
An Unearned Distinction, and
Many Other Items.

The delegates from this place to the
Convention of the Cincinnati Branch OF
the Woman's Foreign Missionary Socie-
ty, held at Cleveland last week, met Mrs
j. H. Hollingshead at that place, and say
that she has apparently completely re-
covered from the serious accident which
befell her about a year ago, and which it
was thought at the time, would make her
a lifelong cripple.
AT this meeting Mrs. Hingeley was re-
elected State Secretary of the organiza-
tion an honor which she has held for some
years. A letter from Miss Isabella Tho
burn, who is at Lucknow, India, was
read by Mrs. General B. r. Cowen, who
is sister of Bishop Thoburn. Miss Tho
burn was the first missionarary sent
abroad by the Cincinnati Branch, and
her letter was devoted mostly to report
of the progress and resume of the work.
