Good Roads.

The time is near ut hand for the
annual scramble for the road over
seerships. Those who now hold the
office, and want re+appointment,
should be judged by the quality of
their road work during the past
year The question is, did cacI,
and everyone of the oyerseers work
the roads to the best of their abil-
ity! In the affirmative, which of
them can answer, "Aye:" On the
other side there are those who

Explanations Wanted.

Gov. Stephens has challenged
the proof Of Virgil Conkling' 5
charges by denouncing them as
lies. He says he is not owned by
the railroads and that he did con
tribute to the partys campaign
fund.
nput in answering the charges
the Governor made several state
mcnts that require explanation.
Remarking that he had given away
in the campaign about $4,000 the
Governor adds, ''it is true that MIR.
Higgins and Mr.. Dick Speed, who
arc my appointees, helped me in
the contributions, but that l did
not contribute personally is false"
How did Mr. Higgins and Mr..
Mr.. Dick Speed help the Governor
in his contributions! Did they
turn over to him sums of money to
be used in his name as he thought
best! The Governor seems to in
innate that because Speed and Hig
gins were his appointecs he had Il
right to their purses. Is this his
view.
Finally the Governor accuses
Mr.. Conkling of betraying party
secrets. Has MIR. Conkling really
told the truth! Has the party Sc

Discovery of the southern Icef,olds.


The home and origin Of the south.
ern iceberg are matter full of ro.
mantle interest. In 1874 Captain
Cook sailed down into the unknown
Antarctic regions, and after terrible
hardships reached spot where he saw
a snow-white brightness in the clouds
to the south, and he knew he was near
the icefelds. Four hours later he was
stopped by great ice barrier in latt
tude seventy-one degrees south, where
the mountains of ice, rising one above
the other. tier upon tier, into the
distance, were lost in the clouds Of
the polar sky. The desolate grandeur
of that 10y coast appalled, the great
navigator, and, seeing no possibility
of pushing to the pole over those i'm
passable mountains, he contented
himself with having gone further than
any one had ever been before, and, he
thought, as far as any man could 60.
He speaks of vast glaciers descending
from the interior, and Of ice islands
and floats near the coast; and from
his remarks it lis easily seen that he
had found the home of southern bergs.
