THE MISSING PASTOR.
Evidence Turning Up Every Day That Re-
quires Ills Presence to Explain

Salt Lake. May 24.-No particularly in
teresting developments have come to
light to-day in connection with the story
of Rev. Francis Hermanns and the two
missing girls. Henrietta Clausen and An
ME Samuelson, referred to in the dis
patches last night. When the Samuelson
girl left here. or disappeared in January
last, II was given out on her own state
ment that she intended to visit her
friend, Fritz Hidden, in the employ OF
the Pullman Car company at Chicago. 1t
Is said that a letter has been received
in this city from Hidden saying that the
girl cannot be found in Chicago.
The police have found books, apparel
and other things in the pastors rooms
In the church. which have been identified
as belonging to the missing girl. The last
that has been heard from Hermanns was
letter mailed at Kansas City on May
IL, in which he said he was on his way
to Decorah, Iowa. Dispatches from Deco
rah, Iowa, Crookston, Mimi, and Kansas
City say that no trace of Hermanns can
be found. 1t is known here that ne had a
church subscription made in Minneapolis,
which he was to collect personally. The

will only sanction the export of orders
for tobacco from Cuba which were
given prior to Captain General Wey-
ler's decree prohibiting the export OF
tobacco. This is. presumably in reply
TO the presentations made by the Uni

regard to the prohibition of the export
of tobacco.
Senior Canovas' decision regarding
the export of tobacco from Cuba does
not extend the limit of time in which
the expectation is allowed. but only
authorizes the execution of orders for
tobacco which are proved to have beeB
given before Captain General Weyler's
decree on the subject was published.

ECONOMY IN HAULING.
BOmO Convincing Reasons Why Coed
Roads Should Be Built

BOmS Convincing Reasons Why Coed
Roads Should Be Built.
In talk on good roads A. j. johnson,
Q civil engineer, who has done some
very effective work in road construction
in New Jersey, gave the following rea-
sons why good roads should be con-
structed:
"It has been proved that on sandy
roads 30 bushels Of grain are load for
two horses; on so-called pike roads so
bushels are the maximum load; on ma
cadam roads 100 bushels, and on the
best grades Of telford roads 200 bushels
can be carried. If these figures are cor
rect, and there is no reason to question
them, they furnish an impressive argu-
ment for the improvement Of roads
an argument, moreover, which ought
to appeal most forcibly to farmers,
whose interest in the question has thus
far been rather sluggish. The agita-
tion for good roads accomplished little
so long as it was discussed from the
speculative point of view. People who
read appeals on the subject agreed with
them in theory, perhaps, but they saw
no reason why they should personally
do anything in the matter. But there
are other practical arguments In favor
Of good roads that also appeal strongly
to the farmer. It Is said that certain
New Jersey canneries pay two cents
less a basket for tomatoes that have
been hauled over rubble roads, because
they are injured by the jolting they re-
ceive." e."-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

In q Watch Factory.

"a watch factory is a wonderfully in
terssting place to VISIT" says the dealer
in time-pieces to New York Times re-
porter. Many Of the machines seem al
most human. They turn out the most
delicate work, and yet they can be man
aged by girl Of fourteen. You could
almost say that you put in the raw ma
tsriRl at one end and the finished watch
came out at the other-thst is, the
works.
"A watch case and the movements are
two different things. A wholesale dealer
never keeps them together. The cases
are in one set Of compartments, the
works in another. The retail dealer
buys lot Of each and combines them to
suit himself or his customers. The man.
ufRcturer Of the works sends blocks, or
actually set Of works, minus wheels, to
the case manufacturers, and they make
their cases to fit. That was the reason
the Swiss watches went out Of the mar
ket. They were not made in regular
size-each case had to be made to fit an
individual set Of works, and it was too
expensive. It is not always easy to fit q
watch several years old with new works,
for the standards change every few years.
Since have been down town-sixteen
yesrs-there has been great change In
the size Of watches. They have been
gradually growing smaller. Why, at one
time we put six ounces Of silver into
mans watch.
@But you can't expect the very small
watches to keep such good time. A wo-
mans watch pinned to her dress will
never keep good time, anyway. ItswingS
around too much. A watch should be
wound regularly, and always left hang
