Heating by Electricity.

The experiment of heating a theater
by electricity has been tried at the Lon
don Vaudeville. Storage batteries We're
employed connected with electric radi-
ators. The great advantage of this
method of heating is that insures safety
against fire, If the wiring is done prop
eriy, and 1t is valuable on account of
the uniformity with which the heat is
distributed. 1t is said that the expense
was less than 20 cents per hour.

Riverside Enterprise: The reckless
ness of the charges the gold standard
people propose to make during the
campaign against Hon. w j. BRYAN
has already been demonstrated by the
contemplate assertion that Mr.. Bryan
is the paid attorney of the silver mine

neer gold mine, in which they expressed
the opinion that Pioneer stock will, with

opinion? (2) Do YOU think that sucn

Good Roads.

The committee of eleven appoint,
ed by the good road convention
which convened in little Rock, Feb
ruary %, has issued an address to
the people of Arkansas. Among
other things the committee says;
The cost of bad roads-a conserv'
ative estimate gives the annual cost
of bad roads as 50 per capita IN the
United States. At this rate Arkansas
pays out or loses yearly over 5000,
600, on account Of her bad roads.
TLis IS one>twelfth of the value OF
all oui real estate and properly ex-
pended would build $500 miles OF
frSt>cIass turnpike every year, or
loo miles for each county,
If the people OF any community
will agree to unite and work faiths
fully their own roads, they may, by
a small expenditure for plows, scraN
pers, rollers and materials for
bridges and culverts, secure well
graded and drained DIRT roads, and
by repairing at frequent intervals,
keep these roads passable for ordi,
nary loads at any season But for
permanent highways, capable Of sus-
tanning the heaviest loads during all
kinds of weather, macadamlzed
roads, costing at least 5000 a mile
are necessary, These can only be
secured by taxation, as the labor
system will not provide materials
and skilled labor. When a new tax
rs mentioned, men say they cannot
afford to pay more-but they should
consider that they are now paying
in ,oss of time, wear and tear of
stock and wagons, low prices, and
loss of products, and deprecated
value of property, much more than
any tax could possibly be. If man
can be convinced that for every dol
lar pald in taxes he will receive 81
more in products, he certainly will
not oppose the tax, This is the
actual experience of the people
wherever they have taxed themselves
