father, Colonel Simeon Woodrow,
was an officer in the war of 1912.
On the farm of Major Woodrow's

Chester county, Pa. known as the
Woodrow farm, was fought the bat

GOOD ROADS HELP VALUES.
Excellent Work aud Excellent Results
In Massachusetts.

At the present time Massachu-
setts seems to have set the example
and pace for the country. Accord
ing to recent report Of the road
commission of that commonwealth,
the total expenditure of the state on
its road work this year has been
100000, and it is expected that the
Legislature will be asked for $780,
600 for 1897. The commission has
been in exiEtence for only three
years, and during that time 1870
miles of improved highways have
been constructed. The fact that a
larger sum of money is expected
to be voted during the coming year
than in the present one is sufficient
evidence that work done is satisfac-
tory to the people and is regarded
as IN economy in every sense of the
Y6rd.
1t is computed that in some dis
tricts of Massachusetts there has
been an average rise in the value
of property along improved roads of
over So an acre. 1t is moreover es-
timated that the losses to farmers in
that state in hauling it over improv-
ed roads amounts to more than
enough to pay for the Improvements.
1t will be seen, therefore, that as the
profit in the hauling of produce pays
for the cost of the road the advanced
value in the land is clear gain to
the land owners.

Newsy Letter from n Former Monon-

| To the Editor Of the NEW DOMINION:
WESTON, ILLINOIS, December 2Sth,
1896. The battle is over and We are
still waiting, hoping and looking for that
confidence which was promised as soon
as Mckinley was elected. 1t appears
that the confidence has taken the back
shoot as grain, corn especially has not
gone up any--it is lower If anything.
The banks are failing and many other
things too numerous to mention would
seem 10 indicate that the confidence
bubble burst Just as Mack was counted

who voted for Mckinley bowling and
declaring that II the election were to
be held next Tuesday that they would
know how to vote this. time, butt pre-
sumo they would be so blown up with
confidence that they would again cast
their ballots for Mckinley and conf
dence.
We have a tremendouss crop.ofs corn
this year in Illinois; ii is claimed that
it 18TH largest crop thes state. lever, pro-
duced but it is only worth Is cents per
bushel oats are worth thirteen cents.
1t is hard on farmers who pay cash rents
at from five to five dollars and a half per
acre. Estimating corn at an average OF
60 bushels per acre when one pays the
necessary expenses and markets the
crop there is little left for hisipains but

FArHER-N-LAw SHOT soN-IN-LAw
Attorney N. F. DRYDEN, of Wheeling,
Had very Close Call.

WHEELING, w. Va. Dec. 31.-At-
torney NJ, +. Dryden. formerly one
of the most brilliant Methodist min
listers in the Wsst Virginia confer
ence, and now a leading lawyer of
the Wheeling bar, had a narrow es-
cape from death at the hands of his
father in law to-day Dryden and
his wife, it is said, were quarreling
at their home on North York street,
when Dryden, ii is alleged, threw a
bundle Of papers at his wife.
The woman screamed and her
father, Thomas Workman, who lives
in the same house ran to her assist
ance with a revolver in his hand.
The old man was thoroughly arous-
ed and before Dryden could retreat
Workman shot him. The bullet
passed through his left side Just out
side the ribs over the heart and
plowed through his arm, making a
wound that is No serious, but Civ
ing Dryden a close call for his life
Five years ago Dryden was the
MOST brilliant and conspicuous min
lister in the West Virginia confer
ence, though only 30 years old. At
that time he conducted remarka-
BILE theological doctrinal controversy
with Bishop John j. Kahn, now
Archbishop of St Louis. The con
troversy was watched with interest
all over the country and Pedestrians
everywhere were gratitied by Dry
denis efforts, while the fame attained
by Bishop Kain was largely the
the cause of his elevation to the
Archbishop of st. Louis.
About four years ago Dryden re-
nouneed his religious profession de-
claring his disbelief in much of the
Methodist doctrine. He attempted
to start a liberal church here, but
failed, and after months reading
was admitted to the bar, where he
has made rapid progress.
Mr., Dryden was formerly pastor
of the Methodist church here and
is well known in Morgantown.
