TO BE A FINE BRIDGE.
Edward Wilder's Artistic Eye Is
Greatly Pleased
NTH TIE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE

figured for a T me by the Electric
Street Car Bridge.
MIR. Edward Wilder is much pleased
with the plans for the new bridge across
the river on Kansas avenue which have
been adopted by the county commits
Eioners.
Mr.. Wilder said to a STATE JOURNAL
reporter. The proposed bridge is all
right / have always been in favor of an
under arch bridge and this meets with
my approval. Yes, / think the roadway
is wide. enough. Twenty-six feet will
allow three teams to be driven abreast
and that is Just the bridge to build, es-
pecially rom al artistic point of view
'.The idea of building bridges with a
great overhead structure is all wrong.
OF course railroad bridges are built that
way, but railroad bridges are built for
one purpose only a.d) that is to carry the

Every owner of property, especially
north Of the river. ought TO be thankful
that the commissioners have MADE the

] 81 as seldom as possible because l so
dislike to cross that old bridge.
1.-THE concrete is all right and from the
tests 10 which it has been subjected, il is
estimated that il will stand almost for
ever
Another thing about this bridge and
one Of the important reasons to be con-
sidered in making this selection is that
in the use of concrete we keep a large
part of the money that goes into the
bridge at home. We have the stone
here and our laboring men will have an
opportunity to do the work, while il it
was \ steel bridge the money would GO
to Leavenworth, to Pittsburg, or some
pla &c else.
"We will, suppose, have to put up
with the street car bridge where it is for
a while, but the street cars should never
be allowed to cross on a wagon bridge,
especially on Kansas avenue. For while
the city horses gradually get used to the
cars. new horses are coming in all the
time that are not used TO the cars and it
is dangerous.
Il think the bonds will surely be voted
for this bridge when the people are as
sured that an honest bridge is to be
built, aud that there is to be no job in it.
Il will be satisfied with the MeIan arch
bridge for fifty years ye.."

give the peopIe OF stanton and other
cities the truth. the whole truth, and no

as II was able. 1t stands firmly by the be-
lief that the simple truth cannot injure
any one: but even II IL did It's duties 10
the public in and beyond Stanton de-
mand the exact truth. We know that we
are being criticised and censured. IN most
cases very unjustly, by some OF the Stauh-
tor people, who contend that the truth
should be suppre ssed or toned down lest
their trade should suffer by the publica-
ton. We contend that a simple, truthful.
conservative statement from the physi-
clans treating the epidemic Is due the peo-
ple of the town and county and OF other
towns and counties, and being hrm In our
convictions there Is no other course 1or
ms to pursue Calm and unparalleled con-
templation must convince any one that
we are right Who has the interests or
Staunton and our county people more at
heart than the press?-The stanton
Post.
The Poet is right. The press publications
have done much 10 overtake and remove
the errors spread by rumor. But for them
the public mind would be filed with gross
ly-exaggerated and harmful ideas of the
situation in stanton
When the smallpox was in Richmond
some ten or twelve years ago our news
papers had TO undergo the same heed
less criticism and stupid Misrepresentation
that the Post is now suffering from
suffering from in consequence OF its hon
est efforts to serve the best interests Of
| its community At last however, an
agreement was reached and acted on by
| the Richmond papers until the epidemic
was over, by which our Board Of Health
furnished to the press under its own sig
nature a daily account OF the number OF
| new cases. number OF deaths. number OF
cured etc This official statement-this
and nothing more-was published every
morning and It did much toward restoring
the confidence Of the public and overturn-
ing the work OF malicious tongues. Nine

| concerned does far more harm than a
