The st. Louis roadmaster has adopt
ed novel, although cruel system, to
keep bicyclers off from the railroad
tracks. He has driven nails in boards
and then turning the board SO that the
points of the nails will stick up, nails
the boards to the railroad ties. After
this is done he covers up the boards and
nails so that just the points of the nails
are sticking up. The result of this is
that after bicycler goes a short dis
lance over the track bed his bicycle is
SO badly punctured that new tires are
almost necessity.

will undoubtedly be good worker in
the religious field.
The county commissioners are in ses-
sion to-day winding up the business of
the Board not taken care of at the
meeting last week. An important mat
ter under consideration is the compile
ton of the sewer system from the in
tersection of Second and Washington
streets, east on Second street to the
county Jail, in order that the Jail may
have the benefit of the system, and the
county be saved money in the long run
by not having to keep the cess-pool
clean. The commissioners met with
members of the city council Tuesday
evening for the purpose of discussing
the matter and it is understood that
the commissioners will advance the
money for the work, and that the
money, or part of it, will be returned
to the county as soon as the council
deems it expedient to levy the assess
ment, which will not be for some time.
