We win from Ohio Wesleyan.

The Ohio Wesleyan University
was taken into camp by the Univer-
sity team on Saturday afternoon in
an uninteresting game by score of
fourteen to one. The Ohio boys had
played very close game with w. &
j. whom they said were loaded and
very strong but they were play
things for the local team. One thing
is shown more certainly by the game
and that is we can lick w. q j any
where and at any time. They know
this as we'll as we do and they will
not give us game for all the money
that can be given them.
Our boys put up clean game very
free from errors and each man did
WELL The Ohio men played hard
but they were unable to get more
than one run. This came to them
ON account of a lost ball and was a
home run. They were very gen
tlemanly set Of fellows and the in
tercourse of the two teams was very
pleasant.

Midnight ON a Special.
The cadet corps went to Union
town on Monday in response to an in
yitation from the committee down
there who had the celebration in
charge. They took the two brass
pieces with them and spent the day
in the capital of Fayette county. Ev-
cry one, as far as can be learned, had
the time of his life. The boys were
received royalty and were treated to
the very best that was in the town.
Each of them is loud in his praises of
the people and the town and anxious
to repeat the experiment at the very
earliest opportunity.
The parade was not a very large
one and the cadets made up the great
er part OF it. Several volleys were
fred over the graves Of the departed
heroes and the cannon gave salute
to those who slept in the cemetery.
The day was cool and the march en-
joyable except for the dust.
The base bali team played two
games with Uniontown and much to
the delight of those who were here
to root it took one OF the games with
out a single error. The score in the
first game was four to one. The game
was very exciting and in the ninth

The afternoon game was taken by
Uniontown by a score of seven to

Three errors and several bases on balls

Bowman pitched the game and after
this inning he pitched gilt edged

ABOUT ROADS.
A Citizen offers Nome Suggestions and
Criticisms on road repairing,

The increase in county as well as town
population has caused a great increase
in the use of country roads, and their
condition has during the last few years
in the rainy season, especially, been be-
coming q more and more important
question. To those who travel much
and to those who travel little it is an
equal consideration, and with the farm
er who supplies our towns with country
provisions it is a momentous question
and great impediment. The market
ing of produce from distance of from
five to ten miles has become almost an
impossibility to the farmer during the
rainy season for in many parts OF our
county as well as in other counties, the
roads are practically impossible for pro-
vision wagons. People are sometimes
found going from one to ten miles out
OF their usual roads to find road but
slightly better than the practically i'm
passible which they were trying avoid.
The roads OF our county are positively
disgrace to its industrious, energetic
and intelligent people. Certainly there
can be some means whereby the county
could supervise the building and work
ing of its roads far better than by the
present system OF uncarried out plans.
In the greater number Of cases we find
that the supervisor will not properly
care for the roads, placing his own per-
sonal interests first and that of the peo-
pie at large second.
They oftentimes do not commence to
work the roads until their spring work
is entirely done, and, consequently the
roads are SO hard that the work is doub-
led and the value of the work made less.
II the work could be properly super
yised by the county it would seem
plausible to have man appointed
whose duty would be to supervise the
work of roads in all parts of the county,
and with little difficulty he could have
work done at proper times where it
takes days to do it under the present
system. This would thus be both saw
ing to the county and an improvement
in public ways. For, as it is now, the
supervisor works the roads at two sea-
sons of the year-late spring and fall
and whatever may be the necessity at
other times, he holds to the idea that no
other time is fitting, and consequently
the county, not having the proper gem
eral management, permits its roads to
become impossible for general travel.
For instance, water is permitted to
run.ln the center and tracks of roads
during the rainy season for great dis
lance, causing what might be called a
mud-mixing box, whereas it could have
been prevented by few hours training
which would in the end save days Of
work.
To the people OF our county the ques
ton OF public roads is important and
certainly some action should be taken
to bring about great improvement in
our highways. We appeal to the au-
thorities that they may take action and
have the roads worked earlier in the
spring and and at every fitting season
when work will avail and the benefit
will be greater.

that the quarter will begin soon and
that they are expected to pay
