CRUSHED STONE ON CLAY.

80 years ago the town discarded the
district system, and elected road
commissioner who has held the place
to the present time. From almost i'm
passable highways in the spring of
the year, that is, over certain portions,
these 65 miles of highway have been
transformed into smooth and dry
ronds. Nearly four miles of stone
drains have been put in, varying from
four or five rods in length to over
100 rods long.
Gravel forms the best material for
road surface. Sand has no use in the
roadbed except in clay or kindred
formation. A clay foundation is one
of the worst for good and permanent
road building. Clay packs in dry
weather but softens up easily during

Work just Yet.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 25.-The
union coal miners of the west will not
go out on strike to help the miners
of the east until all of the miners of
the east are out and the work of get
ting coal out Of the pits is stopped.
This was the decision reached at a
conference OF leaders in this city yes
terday. The representatives of the
western miners claim that it
would be foolhardy for few miners
of the west to strike when there are
thousands of miners in the east still at
work putting in full time. They point
to the fact that the miners Of Illinois
are asking the miners of Kansas to go
out when Illinois has still 10000 min
ers Mt work all the time in spite of the
strike, and Kansas, when working her
full capacity, can only show work for
0. 900 men.

Big Yield In Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 25.-The Capital
to-day publishes reports from every
county in the state, giving the condi-
ton and probable yield of corn. These
returns show that in only ten counties
will the yield be fourth crop or un-
der. In eight there will be but a
third crop. In a6 there will be
from considerably over third to
over half crop. In 90 the crop
will be three-fourths full, and in
1s the crop will be full, while in
IA the yield will not fall below so BUSH
els to the acre. These returns iudi-
cate that the yield will not be far from
three-fourths Of full crop, and possi-
bly, very much more, as the large
acreage of the good counties will out
weigh much Of the loss in other coun-
ties. There is reason for believing
that the yield will not fall short of
$50, ,0Oo, 600 bushels, and it may be near.

Captain Nolan, of Lord Raglan's staff.
Captain Nolan, the only man who
could dispute either, fell among the
first in the charge. Mckenzie says
that he saw that gallant officer riding
far in advance of the brigade by the
side of the Earl of Cardigan.
Captain Nolan had written a book
on Tactics, in which he had maintained
that light cavalry, if well led, could
ride down any branch of the service.
1t was his duty after having delivered
an order to report Immediately to the
officer who gave it. The fact that he
did not do this, but rode in the charge.
inclines Mckenzie to believe that
having perceived possibly some EVIL
dence of disorder in the Russian lines,
and thinking that the guns were not
well supported, he was carried away
by desire to exhibit to the world the
truth of his theory, and so gave false
order.
