What RndRoads Cost.

Mr.. Otto Dorner, chairman of the
Highway Committee of the League
of American Wheelmen, says in The
Forum:
The losses from bad roads in the
U. S. are enormous. The U. S. Office
of Road Inquiry explains that our
average load of crops weighs practi
cally ton, while in Europe it is up
ward of four tons, and often six tons.
J. NJ Stahi, editor of the Farmers
Call, estimates that the annual cost
of wagon transportation of the coun-
try is 5000, 600, 000 of which $1,000
600 might be saved. Gen, Roy Stone,
chief of the Road Inquiry Office, has
verified this by careful computations,
and reports that the total haulage on
the public roads each year is 313, 349-
227 tons, costing $946, Ala, 695. "a, which
constitutes over one-third of the to-
tai value of farm products. He
states that nearly twothirds of this
cost is due to bad roads.
The complaint has often been made
when road-improvement is suggested:
1--WE can't afford it." The foregoing
figures will present forcibly the cost
of bad roads, and the question would
better be: Can we afford to do
without good roads,

HOW to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
mOnia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that
the attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of Il cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. 1t
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every bot
tie warranted. For sale by Oakland

of removing the court house from

On the face of the returns Elkins was
victorious. The people of Beverly
alleged fraud and demanded a re-

have the court sit as a board of can
vassers. Beverly asked the Supreme
Court for Il mandamus to compel the
county court to recount the ballots.
Contest petitions were then applied
for by the people of Elkins. The

A Teacher rincd $40 and Costs.

Some days ago Principal W. f.
Beeghley of the Selbysport school,
had occasion to correct some of his
scholars among them being a son of
&. j. Stuck and also a son of W. w.
SchlOssnag!e. He gave each of them
a thrashing with stick, the Stuck
boy being let off easy by the teacher
but the Schlossnagle boy after hav-
ing been severely thrashed made a
lunge at Mr.. Beeghley who gave him
a second whipping, at which Mr.
SchlOssnagle, father of the boy was
present and upheld the teacher in all
that he did Prior to Furnishing the
boys the teacher was informed by
another pupil OF the school that the
Schlossnagle boy had a revolver in
his possession and also u knife and
said that if Mr.. Beeghley attempted
to punish him he intended to 'cut
his heart out" This didn't cut any
figure with Mr.. Beeghley, who is
rather small in stature, but made
him the more determined to perform
his duties as teacher and also to set
an example to other incorrigible boys
of his school.
On Saturday following the trouble
a warrant was served on Mr. Beegh-
ley by the constable which had been
issued at the instance of Mrs. Schlos-
snagle and Mrs. Stuck by Justice l..
G. Fike. He was taken before the
Justice where a trial was had and Mr..
Beeghley fined s. in each case, with
costs, aggregating in all $3G, the JUS
tice holding that he had exceeded his
authority in giving the boys q whip
ping, although he was unable to cite
any law in the case. Mr. Beeghley
promptly took an appeal from the
Justices decision to the Circuit Court.
In the trial before Justice Fike Mr..
Beeghley was represented Mr.. N. r.
Selby and Mr.. f. j. Frantz conducted
the prosecution.
Mr.. Beeghley, who is a good, con
scientious teacher, is being upheld by
the majority of the people of Selbys
port and vicinity in his endeavor tc
conduct the school properly

eAaO'Mea.pu1s1ox BRIDGE HEARING.
Attorneys Make Their Final Arguments il
Matter Before Judge WisweII.

The continued Gardiner Pittston
bridge hearing was finished in the
court house. Saturday. the attorneys
making their final arguments before
Judge Wisweil of Ellsworth. Hon. A.
NJ. Spear appeared for Gardiner and
Hon. o. d. Baker for the town of
Pittston.
Hon. o. d. Baker in his argument
held that the town of Pittston could
rot be holden in the first instance for
more than the amount necessary to re-
place the two spans carried away by
the freshet in 1895, with the same kind
of material that the bridge was con-
the town of Pittston cannot be holden
as it was the duty of Gardiner and
Randolph to keep the bridge and piers
in good condition. The two piers which
had been repaired stood up while the
others which had not been sufficiently
repaired were carried away with the
bridge
Hon. A. NJ. Spear contended that
while the piers were not perfect that
the freshet was so extraordinary that
even the tworepaired piers would have
gone out if they had been
subjected to the same strain. The
ice and log jam was of sufficient
strength to take off the bridge regard
less of the piers. He claimed that by
the act by which Pittston and Gardiner
took the bridge from the toll company
that they were to keep it in repair for
ever. The town of Pittston has the
same liability now as it had before the
town of Randolph was set off from 1t.
He claimed that his clients were not
bound by any division of the old town.
Judge Wiswell took the matter under
advisement and will render his decis-
ion on the matter later. 1t will be
eagerly awaited by large number Of
people. for there is a great deal of in
terest in the matter.
