Formerly the only intelligent concep-
ton of a road anywhere on the Atlantic
tier of states was two sand ruts. varying
in depth from 8 to 8 inches, carried on to
infnity or as far as the eNigencies of the
travelling pubic demanded. The inter
vening space between the two ruts was
filed in with sand. Surcease from the
torture of these roads was sought by &C.
casional turnouts to the right or left, but
soon new ruts were formed, and the last
condition of the unfortunate animals
compelled TO travel them became worse
than the first.
Toward the interior of the state, where
gravel beds are found, decided improve
ments We're made on the sand ruts. A
degree of hardness was impaired by the
gravel, which, for most practical pur-
poses, was encouraging if not satisfying.
Great centers of population soon de-
manded sounder and more solid road
beds to resist the general tendency to
rut, which is everywhere apparent where
heavily laden teams are numerous

What might have been a serious acct
dent, but for the fortunate intervention of
young man, occurred yesterday afternoon
on South Main street. James j. Carey
had left his horse and a two wheeled sulky
hitched near Liberty street, with two
young children in the wagon. The horse
suddenly dashed up South Main street.
Peter Lamb and his cousin Morgan
Flaherty saw the approaching team, and
realizing the danger Flaherty dashed into
the street and seized the runaway horse
and stopped him Spectators say it was a
very heroic and brave act.

O'Donovan Rossa.s Lecture

On Friday evening the Irishmen, sons of
Irishmen and liberty loving citizens of
Waterbury and its surroundings. who
honor the standard bearer in the warfare
for freedom, will have the esteemed pleas
ure of gazing upon and listening To one
who was often tried and always found
loyal in his mistaken determination to
keep unfurled the banner of justice which
meant freedom for Ireland and home for
exiled Irishmen, or an immediate death to
the fearless bearer. But the question may
be asked even by Irishmen, why is this
man, ODonovan Rossa, so bitterly op-
posed to English rule in Ireland?'' 1t is
because he has not only learned his coun-
try's eheckered history, but also has re-
ceived and seen acts perpetrated in the
name of justice at the thoughts of which
he himself has shuddered. He has learn
ed of Grattan's parliament where the
members were bribed and the Irish people
taxed to pay the necessary bride. He has
seen the broken-hearted mother without
fire to warm her, or food to nourish her,
sitting by the side of n murdered son, who
was the only support of her declining age.
He has been an inmate of the dungeon and
has heard the groans of the captives as
their strength and life slowly ebbed away
in their dreary solitude. He has seen
them dragged, faint and tottering to the
scaffold to satisfy the vengeance of I'M
righteous and disgraceful laws, vigorously
enforced in the name of English Justice.

have been untiring in their efforts to give
him genuine welcome to this city on the

auspices of their club. in City hall.

Hon. John Walker of Howard county,
No, ventilates n plan which has the
merit of originality and probable FEAST
bility also. Mr.. Walker says:
Il will give 81 per acre ON every acre
of land own toward the building of
gravel road from Rocheport to Jack
mans mill. My farm consists of $50
acres-hence l will take stock in said
give the same amount for gravel road
from Rocheport to Ashland church or
from the church to Fayette.
IF we could get the farmers once in
terested in such an enterprise, it would
be but few years until we would have
the best roads in the west. The build
ing of these roads can be accomplished
with less cost in the long run than the
present system of road working is now
costing the farmer. 1t must also be re-
membered that each individual who pays
in as much as 800 becomes 4 stakeholder
in the road. In fact, stock can be issued
at 800 share, and l will venture the
assertion that this money will return a
larger dividend than in any other way
invested"
This has the right ring. 1t hits the
nail squarely on the head and shows that
Mr.. Walker knows what he is talking
about. Next to railroads, substantial
and lasting public highways are worth
more to a country, including both the
farmers and the townsmen, than any
other single investment that could be
made. The press and citizens of Mis-
souri, and Kansas should take this ques-
ton up and not cease agitating it until
the principal towns of every county with
in the two states are joined by lasting
macadam or gravel roads.-Kansas City
