GOV. RICH'S IDEAS.
HE GIVES THEM TO THE STATE
LEGISLATURES.
In . Brief but Comprehensive Message
Good Roads an Important question:
The Miner Bill Is FarIty---Free Passes
Drowned Upon---stase Institutions.

In compliance with the time honored
custom 1 respectfully submit for your
consideration the following suggestions
and recommendations:
GOOD ROADS.
This important question is now at
tracing widespread attention. Its i'm
portance can hardly be overestimated.
In these days OF sharp competition
farmers cannot afford to stand a four
months mud embargo on the getting OF
their products to market, nor can they
afford to take one-half the weight they
would with good roads at other times:
What Is true of farmers Is true or all
who do business with farmers, or have
occasion to use the roads either for bus
mess or pleasure.
My predecessor. In his inaugural ad-
dress, strongly recommended that some
action be taken for the Improvement
of the highways, which took form In the
appointment of a highway commission,
whose report will be laid before you, and
of which i ask your careful considera-
ton. While 1t is possible you may not
conclude to adopt all the recommends
lions made by the distinguished members

The intermittent general protest in
the press against the custom OF tip
ping has required. The protest is
grounded on reason, but it is quite
useless nevertheless, The practice
has been imported from Europe and it
is here to stay. 1t is spreading year
by year, and will continue to spread.
al don't believe in tipping, but al
ways tip" remarked a gentleman, and
he accurately expressed the attitude
of the average American who is able
TO pay for what he wants. Time was
in this country when the proffer of
tip would have been resented by any
waiter, barber or other citizen of the
republic who made his living by rem
dering personal service. But with
the increase OF population and wealth
and progress toward the social organi-
cation OF the old world that spirit o.
manly independence has disappeared.

the doctors have not been able to find
any internal injuries.
The shock to his nervous system Is.
very great and he is bruised up about
the right shoulder where he struck

these injuries are. complicated with

has been built up gradually, and there
are four or five wings each with

iion. One OF these had been set
apart for guests OF the hotel and an
other for the help. Both were

The roof upon which McKiernan
was standing is one on which no one

In earlier ages Of mans develop
opment, population and civilization
kept closely to the plains OF rivers.
Here was found first the most fertile
and easily tillable land. Later, the
river, If deep enough, furnished
means OF reaching the outer world by
boat and ship navigation. Still later,
waterfalls were utilized to. furnish
pcwer. The invention of electrical
power, into which all other power
may be changed and stored, has
changed this. States that have great
water power will in the future find
the cheapness of stored electricity
giving its people great advantages for
all manufacturing enterprises, and
undoubtedly in time for doing many
kinds OF work on the farm that now
must tax human and horse muscle.

HYDE PARK, one OF the suburbs of
Chicago, has been enjoying a cheap
quality OF an ;llIminant known as
water gas. T:ais gas is an odorless
fluid which has way, now and then,
of insinuating itself into dwelling
and destroying the inmates as thor
oughly as would dose of hydrocy-
anic acid. 1t has thus taken posses
sion Of several Hyde Park dwellings,
and as a consequence several Hyde
Park people have received the tender
attention of an undertaken. The kind
of gas that ordinary nostrils can not
detect the instant it begins to escape
is a dangerous kind to fool with, and
that is precisely the kind water gas is.
