MACADAM IN KANSAS.
The Rock Pile" for State Prisoners and
Good Roads.

Good Roads.
The principal streets of Fort Scott
are macadamized, have been for years,
and it costs almost nothing to keep
them in repair, although it is city OF
some $4,000 people. There is also a
government road two miles long-from
the town to the northern cemetery
which is macadamized and also covered
with coat of gravel. 1t has been com.
pleted sevetal years, and SO far costs
nothing or next to nothing for repairs,
while it is a wonderful luxury and re-
lief to drive on it, in contrast with the
clay roads in a muddy time. OF course
macadam will wear out in the long
run, and involve expense for improve
ments, as Mr.. Gilbert says, but the out
lay will be much less than to keep in
repair our present mud roads; and the
result is good roads, instead of the
quagmires so common now. For dur
able road the rock should not be broken
too fine; if it is, wagon-wheels coming
on it covered with mud will stick to the
small pieces and lift them out of place.
thus holes will be dug, and have to be
filled up. This would be apt to occur
on a gravel road, but in that case it
would cost but little to repair.
When the government road was built
those who had it in charge insisted, in
opposition to advice of experienced
men, upon breaking the material too
fine. The result was that while our
streets remained smooth the road was
soon full of holes and was then covered
with gravel But the government Off

attributed the wear to the loaded wag-
ons instead of the fineness of the rock,
and required the city to prohibit their
travelling on it. A man was stationed
folly was soon given up. The best ma
terial is granite, but limestone or any
other rock, if not broken too fine, will
answer good purpose. Our city keeps
its convicts breaking rock; for crime a
man is sentenced to so many days ION
the rock-pile:" so it always has material
ready to repair its streets. Why could
not the labor of state prisons be thus
utilized? Manufacturers object to COM
petition of prison labor in their bust
ness, but convicts should not be kept
idle. Why is not this.the way out OF
the difficulty?-Rev. j. b. Sake, in N.

warm room. Doubtless many of the
individuals which are belated in their
trip from the leaves to the twigs are
carried away with the falling leaves to
perish, or possibly to gain a foothold
on other trees. This seems to be the
principal means of distribution from
place to place, except as they are car
ried with the cuttings of trees from one
locality to another. With the expan-
sion of the leaves in spring, the mites
which survive need only to fasten
themselves to the surface to be carried
out with it's growth and find their food
at hand and conditions favorable for
their further development. During
summer, eggs are developed in the bod
les of these adults, a new generation
probably several of them) are pro-
duced and the young individuals spread
themselves over the leaf to extend the
work begun by the first brood of spring
Mr.. Graham suggests cutting off the
twigs showing the blistered bark; but
as most of the mites, at least, will be
found in the buds, blisters on the twigs
are no indication, and it might be nee
essary to trim the affected trees very
severely to receive much advantage. 1t
frequently happens that certain trees
are severely affected while others near
by are free. This is doubtless because
of the Slight facilities the mites have
for travelling. In such cases it might
be profitable to destroy the badly af
fected trees. 1t was thought at Ames,
in the horticultural department, that
trees treated with fungicide solutions
were noticeably more free from mites;
and it is quite possible that spraying
with the copper solutions will be useful.

CABLE CAR COLLISION.

-Four Lives Lost ut Kansas City by % Gable
Car Running Into 10 Freight Train.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 13.-At 6:97
o'clock yesterday morning an eastbound
Santa Fe freight train running on the
Kansas City Belt line tracks ran into a
westbound Fifteenth street car at the
Belt line crossing on East Fifteenth
street The gripman and two passen-
gers were instantly killed and one pas.
senger was fatally hurt, dying few
hours afterward.
There was fearful crash when the
collision occurred, the echo OF
which was heard for blocks and
a binding cloud OF dust Immediate
~ hid everything from sight. For
several seconds until the dust settled,
the extent of the appalling accident
was not known to the few spectators.
The freight train must have struck the
cable car near the center as the heavy
trucks were thrown on either side OF
the track. On the east side of the track,
twenty feet from where the collision oc'
Cured, was found the body of Mrs. Re-
Wis, partly underneath truck Seachrist
and McKenna were picked up on the
other side, while Gripman Barbee was
found 200 feet down the track with his
head resting against the rail in n pool
of blood and brains. All were dead
with the exception of Seachrist, who
was carried to his home and given med
ical attention, but he was beyond aid
and breathed his last ut $3.50 o'clock.
The accident occurred at exactly the
same place where Warren Watson was
killed few months ago.
An examination of the scene of the
accident demonstrates that Barbee
should have seen, if not heard the up
preaching train when the forward por-
ton of his car was nearer than sixty
feet from the crossing.

DILATORY DOlNGS.

Three Of the Political Parties Of Missouri
Fail to File Certificates.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct l3.-Up to
last night the peoples party had not
filed u solitary certificate of nomination
for any office, state or district, and upon
inquiry it was learned from the secre-
tary of state Office that it has only pre-
scented two papers, each OF them being
for the nomination of candidates for
congress and each lacking the requisite
number of names to make the petition
legal.
Only seven days remain in which
nominations can be filed and neither
party has yet completed its ticket
Even the democrats and republicans
are remiss in the important duty OF
fling their certificates of nomination
and the chances are that many will
come in in an imperfect form, necessi-
tating their rejection, when 1t will be
too late for corrections TO be made.
Somebody's carelessness is going to
cause lots of disappointment to hopeful
candidates.
October 10 is the last day for filing
certificates Neither the democratic
nor the republican state ticket has been
filed. The only state ticket that has
been filed is that of the prohibitionists

EXCITEMENT AT SEDALIA.

Caused Isy an Attempted Outrage on
White Girl by - Negro.
SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct 13-Ben Simms, a
colored boy of 10 years, who lives in
ST. Louis and follows the races as a
stable boy, made brutal criminal as
sault on Miss Fannie Gruber, u prepos-
sessing white girl, and had it not been
for her superior strength he would have
accomplished his purpose.
The young lady was alone at home
when Simms approached and knocked
her down. She arose, only to be
knocked down a second time. Then
followed hand to hand contest that
lasted several minutes, in which the
negro was worsted.
Grabbing up few dollars that were
lying ut hand, he fed, but was captured
an hour later and is now in Jail.
There has been no such excitement
in Sedalia since the assault on Mrs C.
L. Taylor last February, and even
early in the evening the angry mutter-
ings that were heard on every hand be-
tolxened no good to the negro. An extra
guard has been placed in the Jail to
guard the prisoner, but II a leader is
found the chances are in favor Of n
lynching bee.
