On Country Roads a Cheap Substi-
tute for Paving,

Crude oil will be sprinkled on the
country roads hereabouts for the pur-
pose Of shedding water and in the hope
that a cheap substitute for paving may
be found. Major M Melgs, United
otates Civil Engineer, at Keokuk, Iowa
stands sponsor for the idea, and the
standard Oil Company has been asked
for sufficient oil to make the expert
ment.
1t is claimed for the crude oil APP
pllcation tnat a road so treated sheds
water like ducks back. Major
Meigs admits the impracticablity of oil
oil on paved streets. He admits that
it is Objectionable on account of the
odor, and the damage it will do to the
rubber Tires of bicycles and vehicles.
The method of applying the oil is
explained by Major Meigs as follows:
To get the best effects from the use
of ,le oil the roadbed should be care
fully graded up and crowned, to make
the water flow on rapidly. Ilnefe IS
no machine so good for this as the or
dinary road grader In my opinion 1t
would be well to run harrow over
the roadbed, so as to cause the oil to
penetrate more deeply and quickly.
Follow the harrow with some form of
sprinkler that will distribute the oil
in thin stream all over the road.
The oil will not soak in at once, and
ought to be followed by roller to
consolidate the surface and drive the
oil into the ground. A three to six
ton roller would be the best in ordin-
airy cases."-Des Moines Correspond
ent to New York Tribune.

The public generally, We think, is
disposed to be kindhearted and gener-
Gus to man for his shortcomings, but
there are occasions when the short
comings cannot be well overlooked
without some show OF the public's
knowledge of conditions, or the ad-
ministering of a rebuke to bring a
man to his manhood.
On the Fourth the city of Marietta
had to bear the sting of seeing its
chief official in a condition unfit to
properly receive and entertain the
city's thousands of guests. Excuse,
there was none. It was an occasion
when the city was on its good behav-
ior, and any breach OF t4at condition
was surely in bad form.
The way the citizens are criticising
this act Of indiscretion is certainly
sufficient to have an Influence in pre-
venting recurrence of such an cpl
sode.
It's unpleasant to discuss matters OF
this nature, but in case Of this kind
there is a trust imposed, and that trust
should be respected.

The Origin of the EIks and How
They Have Spread,

The order of Elks is diffused
throughout the whole country. 1t or
iginated in New York City in 1867, its
founder being Charles A. y ivian, a
ballad singer. 1t was at first restrict
ed to members of the theatrical profess
sion and to singers. In the beginning
it had only 10 members. It's scope,
however, soon broadened, and it adj
mitted other persons besides those to
which it was at first confined. A So
cial organization at the outset, it de-
veloped into a benevolent order hav-
ing lodges in every state, and having
on its rolls representatives of every
profession. First calling itself the "Jol-
ly Corks," it hen adopted the name
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks. 1t is one of the most popular of
al the fraternal orders of the United
States, as is shown by its rapid in
crease in membership and the growth
of lie surplus in its treasury. The re-
ports at ST. Louis showed that there
was a gain of 11,1S7 members in the
order during the past IL months, the
present membership being 5,439
This is the largest increase ever made
in any one year. Ohio leads in num-
Der of members, which is 1884, follow
ed in this order by Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, New
Jersey, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Colorado
California, Illinois, Washington, Miss
ouri and Connecticut The other states
of che Union have less than 1000
members. The largest Individual
lodges are in this order, in New York
City $50 members), Grand Rapids
Jackson, Mich, Baltimore, A4egnaney
Cincinnati, Detroit. Minneapo.s, and
,tsburg. All the lodges and no 9th
ers have over 500 members.-Leslie's

Capt. Bowie Not Married,

Gallipohs, o., July 3.-The reported
marriage of Captain " M. Bowie and
Miss Marie Harvey, daughter of Coin"
Harvey, was all hoax, executed so
well that their most intimate friends
wer deceived. Miss Harvey had been
visiting here, and was accompanied on
her way home as far as Columbus by
Captain Bowie. At the train their
friends showered them with rice, and
they permitted heir friends to con-
clude that they were to be welded just
for a Joke. The local papers publish
ed che story, and the popular Cap
tain's father was deceived by the re.
ports to an extent that he wired, ant
found he had been imposed upon.

A Health Giving Exercise.

Breathing exercises alone will do
much to improve the general health
of nearfcy all women. Stand before a
mirror, in a room into which good
supply of air is coming, and raise the
hands straight over the head; then let
them drop naturally to the side, with
out attempting to square the shoulders
Then, closing the mouth, take long
deep breath and hold II in the lungs
for a few seconds. Repeat this as Of
tea as you can without feeling tired
Each day repeat the same exercise
unt4 you can hold breath for min
ute and a minute and a half This
will increase the exterior of the chest
and develop the interior. Short, quick
gasps are not normal breathing. By
reducing the respiration to ten min
ute for FIVE consecutive minutes three
times a day one via soon acquire a
full breathing. This is most import
ant for weak and sickly children As
the fresh air Is a great stimulant Il

else at all bring the same results

Gnnd AM Man.

A few days ago the Washington
Post had an instructive and entertain
ing editorial on "AthlItlcs and Vital
ity' Surprise was expressed at the
oft-heard chatter in sporting circles
about old men at 81 and stale pugllists
at So The ground was taken that any
system of physical training by which
men retrograde when they pass the
age of % or 26 is stupid and vicious.
The point Is very well taken, and at
tention to it has not been called any
too soon The system is stupid and
vicious. Men should be in tie very
prime of life at 40, and perfect as far
as vitality is concerned, at SO. And
even at the half century mark a man
will retrograde but slowly il his years
have been spent with due regard to
right living In fact, there are scores
and scores of men in all walks of life
today who are well up in the sixties,
and many in the seventies, who are in
almost every point as we'll fitted to
stand great strains as some in the for
es who have been put through a too
rigid physical training in their youth
full days.
Man is but piece of machinery.
He is capable of doing just a certain
amount of work, just as a steam en-
gine is capable of developing a certain
horsepower with fixed steam pres
sure If the pressure is increased and
the engine overtaxed danger is near. A
little more and the collapse comes all
at once, and most complete it is. The
beautiful machine becomes a heap of
scrap iron.
So with man. He can do a certain
amount and he can keep up that gait
until he reaches three score and ten
All his faculties are alert, his eyes un-
dimmed and his vitality in general un-
abated But if during his days of
youth he is overstrained for a boat
race, a boxing contest or a four-mile
race he has drawn on his savings. AT
40 he finds that he is not quite as ro-
bust, perhaps, as his father who is
well up in the sixties or seventies. He
has burned the candle at both ends

Rinards Mills, Monroe county, which
was drilled into the pay last Saturday,
was agltated yesterday for the first
time The we'll had dropped off from
100 barrels an hour to about 40 barrels
but when the tools were run in the hole
the production at once jumped up to
the former high figure, and at last re-
ports 1t was holding up in production
in fine shape. From the manner in
which the well responded yesterday. it
is proven that tna well is not a mere
flash in the pan, but that the juglar
vein of the pool has just been struck.
The company is preparing to rush
work on its property with more vim
from now on than ever before. About
700 600 feet of timber have been pur-
chased on the stump and a saw mill

Our city-just about the fairest in
the land-once owned a flag which was
used, as 1t should have been, on top of
the city building; and in the course of
time whipped itself to pieces in the
wind. Tuesday, the day of all days
when the emblem should fly, there was
none at hand, and the stars and stripes
had to be borrowed for the day.
We should own flag, by all means,
good dig one, and furthermore it
should be hung to the breezes every
pleasant day.

The Elliott Pardon.

The pardon of w. ]. Elliott by Gov
ernor Bushnell yesterday comes as a
peculiar commentary on executive
clemency The Elliott case has been be-
fore the pardon board repeatedly and
that body after thorough and eXhaus-
tive examinations has decided that
interference was not justified and that
E.ncCt should continue to serve his
sentence.
The governor by granting the par
don dlsregards the mature judgment
of his pardon board, reached after a
careful judicial inquiry, and rides
rough-shod over their verdict 1t is
not strange that the public should be
surprised.
1t is true that a number of years
have passed since the commission of
the crime for which Elliott was par
doned. The people of Columbus, how
ever, have not forgotten that crime,
and they feel tnat the punishment
meted out was the least that the case
warranted Now a mistaken executive
clemency steps in and ,4e prisoner is
released
The State Journal does not believe
there remains any fierce feeling over
the case, such as exercised when Ell
liott was sentenced, but that feeling
has settled into a conviction on the
part of the public which Governor
Bushnells pardon cannot shake and
which censures his clemency only in
a less degree than it condemned thf
original offense-Ohio State Journal.
