over tlle whole sufficient gravel is shoy-
cled to mound up the path. In this
way the outer edge of the walk is
kept straight and true and the center
free from grass, the horizontal board at
the bottom excluding much which
would otherwise grow in under the up
right board. Provided coal-tar could
be mixed with the top layer. of gravel,
it would cause it to harden down and

An Oddity in RaIIroadinr.

"The craze for fast time on railways
Is taking a new feature" observed
prominent railroad official 20 a Star
writer recently. ''It is the shortening
Of lines and reconstruction of surveys
in order to make a given line as
straight as possible between two points.
1t is, in fact, scheme to make time
by saving distance. A railway with.
out a curve or a cutting is, of course, a
splendid thing from an engineering
standpoint, but it is a very tedious
affair to the passenger. To thoroughly
realize how extremely monotonous a
long journey on a railway without a
curve or cutting is, one must travel on
the road from Buenos Ayres to the
Andes. That railroad beats all known
records for having 200 miles of tracks
almost on line, such as mathemati-
clans describe as the shortest distance
between any two points. No one who
has not seen this remarkable stretch of
road, straight in front and behind as
far as the eye can reach, even when
aided by field glass, can grasp what it
means or what an amount of wearisome
monotony it involves and entails. -

In q Missouri court recently a rather
novel case came up for decision. Dur
ing the civil war certain Northern
soldier went into the service, leaving
young wife at home In due time the
news reached him that his bride had
died and when the war ended he did
not return to his old home, but settled
out West. He married again, and with
his second wife accumulated large
amount of property in Pratt county.
Not long ago he learned that his first
wife had not died, but, surprising him
to have been killed, had married an
other man. This man died, leaving
her & widow. When the Pratt county
man learned these facts he brought suit
for divorce, and the woman in the East
heard of it and went out and fought
the case, asserting claim to part Of
the Pratt county mans property.
However, after the lawyers had made
a great fight before him, the judge
granted the divorce and left the Pratt
county man free to marry the woman
who has been living with him for many
years as his wife.-N. Y. Tribune.

OHIO SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE

The republican state convention at party for whom it spoke in it's admir- ably stated platform, which contains al the essential issues upcn which the
 republican party vii rest it's case be-
 fore the people this year and next It is particularly appropriate that Ohio
 should first speak fer the party, for
 out of that state came the president
 whc has given the country an admin
 istration sc brilliant in it's results that
 every rival among the world powers
 holds us in immensely greater respect,
 and every American may carry his
 head a little higher than ever before.
 Speaking comprehensively there IS
 but one issue for the republicans to
 press on the attention of the country
 That is the endorsement of the patri-
 otic and fruitful administration of
 William Mckinley. But within that
 issue is wrapped a dozen incidental is
 sues for eloquent lips to expCund. As
 the Ohio platform recOuntS, the pres
 ent administra has placed the na
 tional credit and the nations finances On the firmest of foundations, which
 has developed the prosperity Of the country to an unprecedented extent; it
 has expanded our commerce to an amazing degree, which has given wider employment to American labor, and has furnished new fields for the ex- ercise Of American capital; it has given to this nation a new and su- preme place among the powers of the world. and, above all, has guided the army and navy of the people to the successful and brilliant termination of a war with foreign country. To this platform every republican in the nat tion subscribes, and upon it relies for the ccuntry's patriotic endorsement The contrast thus presented with con ditions in the other great party is striking. The democracy is hopelessly divided on every issue which it's lead CTS have taken under consideration in the desperate search for something on which to present a united front AnX- ious conferences, one-dollar and ten dollar dinners, antitrust alarums, inn perialism bogies, the mad caper of Bryan up and down the land with his tom-tcm, open disagreement between the bosses-alI of these show the dis organized and demoralized condition Of the democracy. Meantime the gold supply increases, wages rise, mills and factories hum, commerce expands and confidence grows. Unless the country is insane the next national campaign will be but a perfunctcry affair, neces- sarv only because the law demands it.
