A few hours after the mourn

to all appearance came from the newly

and the earth was hastily removed from
the grave and the coffin lifted out. Upon
opening the coffin it was found that the
doctor had been alive when he was buried,
but had subsequently died from suffoca-

Good Roads.

Frank G. LEM, who is now in China
bound around the world on bicycle
passed through Michigan on his whee
last fall, and he speaks of Michigan
roads as follows:
1T seems strange that the roads
should be so poor. The best class o.
farmers are here, living in fine houses,
having large barns and immense farms,
working nothing but the most modern
agricultural machines, always having
large crops; they haul their immense
loads of wheat, oats and corn over miser
able sand roads to the railroads for ship
ment. The wear and tear on vehicles
and horses must be something tremend
Gus over such roads. Their mode OF
road work is sickening. Scraping the
sand, weeds and grass from each side OF
the road, all is thrown in a heap in the
center, to be beaten down by wagon
wheels. This is the result of allowing
farmers to work out their road tax
The question of good roads is now an
all important one, and the people at
large are arousing to the necessity OF
the improvement of the highways. Col.
A. A. Pope, of Boston, is doing much
for this cause. He has prepared blanks
for the purpose of securing signatures
to petition to Congress asking for the
establishment of a Road Department.
an Institute of Road Engineering, and
a permanent road exhibit in the city of
Washington, and also for a compre-
hensive exhibit of road construction and
maintenance at the Columbian Exposi-
ton. Mr. Pope hopes to be able to Sc
cure at least million signatures to this
petition; and will be glad to send copies
of it to any one interested in the sub
ject. Send to him for copy and circu-
late it in your vicinity. In no way can
an era of good roads, and an attendant
era of prosperity be more quickly
brought about. With our highways
under National and State supervision,
the time would not be far distant when
American roads would be n source of
pride, instead of disgrace to American
civilization and progress.
Lansing Journal: The highway com
mission, consisting of William l.. Web.
Der, of Saginaw, Reuben Goodrich, of
Traverse City, and Jas. II. Kinnane, OF
Kalamazoo, which was appointed by
Gov. Winans several months ago to
formulate a plan for improving the
highways of the State, and consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of employing convict labor
on the work, held its final meeting in
this city last evening. The members OF
the commission have been diligently al
work ever since their appointment, and
although they served without pay they
have done valuable service for tho
State. AT last evenings meeting then
report to the Governor was completed
and this morning it was filed in the ex
ecutive office. The work of the com
mission was designed to aid the coming
Legislature in its consideration of the
important subject of good roads and as
the report recommends sweeping
changes in the highway laws of the
State which because of their radica
nature will call for vigorous defense
at the proper time it has been deemed
advisable not to give the report to the
public until it is transmitted with Gov
Winans' eXaugural message.
