approval from prominent public

his profession is so impregnable.

unable to successfully assail him.
"Mr. Wedderburn's advent in
the important field of patent So

a recent issue, ''has done more
than any other one thing to kill
off the so-called 'no-patent-no-

STOP MAKING RUTS.

of trouble and expense in the
maintenance of highways and
have been condemned by all au-
thorities on roadmaking. "A
writer in the Davenport { Ia. Re-
publican makes some suggestions
in this connection, which, while
not entirely new. are worthy of
consideration. He says
Since the question of good roads
Is being considered with more in,

a few suggestions to our present

attention required to speak OF.
after they are once properly lev
eled off and graded, allowing the
necessary fall for good drainage.
Would it not be feasible to urge
the use Of broad tired wheels for
wagons, say 3 or 4 inches wide.
and, in order to secure their early
adoption, levy a tax on all wag-
ons having tires less than 3 inches
wide, while wagons with 3 inch
tires, or even wider, should not
be taxed as much, if at all!
In this, as in other cities, the
use of narrow tired wheels for
heavy hauling, particularly over
paved streets, is prohibited by
law, and Why should this law not
be applicable to all wagons with
narrow tires used in the country
for the betterment and improve
ment of the common dirt roads ?
With few exceptions the present
/ J inch tire wagons are cutting
our country roads into ruts
and making them almost impas-
sable. If it were not for the ruts
our country roads would drain off
nicely and be in good condition
the year round, but during the
wet season, especially in the
spring, after the frost leaves the
ground, the II inch tire wheels
act as plow and find their way
some s to ~ inches into the soil.
The narrow tired wheels are be-
ing used in less numbers every
year, since the farmers fully real

broad tires in order 90 tighten the
load for the horses, especially
over the soft meadows and fields.
Farmers would be only too will
ing to abide by the law by using
broad tires, providing the law is
ridigly enforced. The use of broad
tired wheels would enable the
farmer to haul heavier loads to
market, and where he now makes
three trips to transport the pro-
duce to market only two would
lie necessary. This to him would
be saving of labor, time and
horseilesh.
1t is said the average cost OF
moving ton one mile over our
country roads at the present time
is about 25 cents and for five
miles 81, not including the time
lost by the farmer. Such a tax
for hauling is heavier than tina,
paid for simply keeping ordinary
roads in repair. AS a natural con.

Three Directors Elected by the
Masonic Cemetery Asso.
citation.
The Opposition Voted for a Full New
Board, and Will Garry the
Case Into Court

The contest between the "ins" and the
"outs" OF the Masonic Cemetery Associn-
tion resulted, upon a casting OF the vote
Wednesday afternoon, in distinct victory
for the ''ins"-that is, the present admin
istration.
The question at issue was as to the cleo
ton Oh three directors at this time or a
full board OF nine.
The ''ins" in their action follow the law
OF lo5S-the rural cemetery act-under
whicn the association was incorporated.
which requires that the directors be
elected Tor three years, but that the term
OF three OF them expire every year and be
hlled by ain election. This has been the
course since the incorporation. Oppo-
sitlon to it being raised by certain persons
interested this year, the advice of Ex-
Justice OF the Supreme Court NJ. H.
Myrick and Charles l.. Patton was sought
and they declared that the statute of 1858
still governed.
The opposition still protested, however,
declaring that the State Code repealed that
law. They set mp full ticket of nine di-
rectors, and declared If their votes were
not counted for the nine they would carry
the matter into the cour:s.
The relative strength of the "outs" and
the 'lns" was tested by a vote on the re-
port OF the committee on proxies early
yesterday afternoon. The committee was
composed of Frank w. Sumner, Charles L.
Patton and A. H. Phelps. They reported
against nearly ninety proxies OH the
ground that they did not represent full
lots, which alone entitIe the holder
10 vote; that the joint owners of lots had
not all signed the proxies, and for other
such reasons which seemed to them good.
The vote in favor of the report was 567,
against 313.
The ticket of the sins" for the three d.
rectors carried the names of Thomas
Kyle, George ]. Hobe and F. w. G.
Moebus. 1t received the 566 votes.
The opposition ticket was as follows:
Aaron Doud, Charles Bone, Joseph Klop-
ens.1ne, j. Il. c. Hobbs G. Howard
Thompson, f. W. G. Moebus, L. M. Root
w. f. McAlester, w. B. Brad bury. 1t re-
ceived 3l9 votes. The former was OF
course elected, and would have been in
any case, but especially so inasmuch as
the votes for the nine were thrown out.
the teilers being unable to count them,
the election being called for the election
OF but three. This forms the ground upon
which the leaders OF the opposition will
go to court-the refusal to count their
votes.
The proposition was made to those
opposed to the administration to name
some suitable person for trustee and he
would be accepted by the majority and
made one of the three. This was refused.
The board of trustees as now constituted
IS as follows: Henry L. Davis, +. w. G.
Moebus F. H. Day, George J. Hobe, Co.

PATTERSON, }. Anderson, George Johnson.

five foolish virgins" arrive only to find it

The end of the parable is almost tragic,
for the girls seem to entirely lose their
identity and become in reality the foolish,
foolish virgins. According 70 the pastor
the representation will almost undoubt-

teach.
