GOOD ROADS OF FRANCE.
Government Keeps Up Perfect Sys-
tenn of Care Year in and Year
Out.

A traveller is especially struck with
the fine roads of France, of which
the people are justly proud. The gov
eminent keeps up a perfect system of
care and inspection, and wherever one
goes he may be sure of finding the
principal roads in excellent order
They are often bordered with trees for
miles and are in a perfect state for
bicycle riders.
All the underbrush and small twigs
and even the lower branches of the
trees have been cut for firewood; and
not twig is wasted. All are gathered
and tied up in bundles ready for use.
Every foot of ground is cultivated, or
so it seems to strangers. There are
mountains and barren places where
nothing will grow, but every bit of
ground that can produce anything is
made to do so. The winter is so mild
south of the Loire that vegetable are
f1ourishing in the gardens at all times
There are, of course, certain seasons
for the different ones, except the hari-
cots verts (string beans) and the dwarf
radishes. These are always in season,
and the quantities eaten in France
must be enormous.
The fields are not generally separ-
ated by fences or hedges. The divid-

nett has made an unsuccessful attempt
to kill his wife.
The Benefits have been employed
in the Capital hotel The wife is
waitress. She possesses striking beauty
of form and face and became very
popular with drummers. Attention
paid to Mrs Bennett by the festive
commercial lotharios rendered Bennett
insanely jealous. A climax was reach
&c yesterday and he made dash for
his wife with a knife, crying Il will

THE THOMAS CASE.
The mystery surrounding the sudden
disappearance of Dick Thomas and his
wife from their stock farm in Owy'hee
county is still enveloped in gloom. De-
tectives learn that Thomas secured
$1,000 recently from the sale of cattle,
but have not learned what part, if any,
was in the house up TO the time Thomas
and his wife disappeared. Robbery
and murder are naturally connected
with the story concerning the money,
still there is absolutely no evidence of
any struggle in the house. The only
plausible explanation in the line of the
murder theory is that Thomas and his
wife were lured from the house and
then killed. If a murder was commit
ted. it stands as the boldest and most
artistic crime IN the history of the
state Another theory is that Thomas
and his wife left the country, after
selling everything they had to escape
their debts, but this is not supported
by any showing of indebtedness sufti-
cient to cause them to leave behind
such a large amount of property.
The officers are completely baffled,
Sheriff Sullivan went to Silver City
from Pocatella to identify a man who
answered in a degree the description of
the hobo who stabbed and killed Off
Ger Scanlan at Pocatello. He found he
was the man.

ANCIENT HISTORY.

Napoleon stood with Marshal Ney, the
bravest of the brave, at window in the
Nevskoi Prospect. Moscow was burning.
Defeated at the very moment when they
were about to reap the fruits of a great
victory, the soldiers of France were al
ready deploying from the doomed city,
and the long, thin line of march had
commenced across the frozen wastes.
Beyond them, and stretching out flames
of fire, the CONGREGATIONS which the des-
perate inhabitants of Moscow had them
selves kindled, burned fiercely. Vast col
umns of smoke extended as far as the
eve could reach, and the smell of The
burning wooden houses was in the air.
The two great soldiers coughed painfully.
Suddenly an idea seemed to occur to
them, almost simultaneously, and each
one asked:
rs this hot enough for your
The phrase has since become historical.

Something About the Promontory
and Sink Hole Discoveries.
1t seems that the anticipated deal be-
tween the owners of the onyx beds near
Promontory, Box Elder county, and the
Chicago syndicate failed to materialize.
Still the discoveries and owners claim
they have the best onyx lind in Utah,
and that is saying considerable. The beds
are situated on the mountain from nine
TO eighteen miles south of Promontory
station on the Southern Pacific railway.
Samples from them have proven that they
embrace seven distinct kinds of a super
ior quality of this invaluable building ma
terial, running from nearly pure white
TO dark shade. Almost fawless slabs
have been taken from near the surface
weighing from 500 to LOO pounds.
At present nothing is being done with
the Sinkhole onyx find that created con-
siderable interest hereabouts last summer
Tons upon tons of an excellent quality
of onyx were carted out of these beds
last summer, proving beyond question
that they were valuable deposits.
What is lacking in these budding pros
poets is the warming, nourishing sun of
capital to make them burst forth IN all
their splendor bringing life wealth and
activity to this neighborhood.
The Bugler would like to see some one
get hold of these beds and push them to
the front-Bugler.

Several Box Elder people have claims

Having successfully disclosed the hy-

medical science has now turned its at

phiiatelist's art. According to DR..
Unna, says the Science News, a pa
tient was recently attacked by pecu-
liar parasitic growth in the beard. On
making minute examination of some
of the hairs, the doctor recognized the
disease as .'piedra,' which is chiefly
met with in British Columbia The doc
tors friend had never been in Colum-
bia, but he frequently received letters
from correspondents there, and, being
a collector of postage stamps, he was
in the habit of removing them from
the letters. In DR.. Unna's opinion the
gum on the postage stamp is an excel
lent material for retaining any disease
germs that it may receive from the
applica ton of the tongue, and in re-
moving stamDs-even when moisten-
ing is done with the sponge-there is
always a danger that the collectors
fingers may receive and communicate
