News Notes OF interest FROM the Bel
mont County Town.
John CASTOR, Esq. of Portland, Ore
gon, is visiting in this city after an
absence of forty-three years. When
Mr.. CASTOR lived in this city it was
then only village of few houses, and
while he lived here the plot of the city
was being made and laid out. Mr. Gas
ton also has the distinction of changing
the name of the city which was placed
name was Belle Air, a French name
meaning beautiful air. The citizens
wished the name changed to one word.
This Mr.. CASTOR changed to Bellaire,
as it is spelled to this day. Mr.. Gas
ton also started the first newspaper in
this city, which was known as the
'Bellaire Times" which has totally
gone out of existence many years ago.
Mr. CASTOR is finding much pleasure
in meeting his old friends who are also
glad to meet him.

Ultimate expenses and may properly be
charged up by government employees
against the government may have far
reaching consequences. Almost infinite
possibilities in the line of expenses, con

result of this treasury ruling. The ex-
pense accounts of persons in government
service may yet yield rich resources for
many a campaign fund, while giving the
'tip' principle official status and recog-

Woes of n World Power.

Philadelphia Record.
In its new role of world power the
Republic already feels the need of insTu-
ments and agencies with which other
earth hungering lands are well provided.
The quartermaster's department, upon
the efficiency of which depends absolute
ly the health and morals of American
troops is already sorely puzzled over the
conditions of the Pekin problem. 1t
needs transports, mules, field equipments,
guns available for foreign service and kim
dred requirements for a long and arduous
campaign against a powerful enemy.

Democratic Brand of Expansion.

New Orleans Picayune.
The Democratic party has never been
opposed to any measure of expansion
that did not involve either a menace to
their own liberties or violation of the
rights of others, but so far no territory
has been acquired with the consent of
that party without being incorporated as
an integral part of the domain, directly
under the joint control of the three CO.
ordinate branches of the federal govern
ment and all the people of any region
thus acquired have been recognized and
treated as citizens of the United States.

as General Chaffee arrives. Russia
may fairly be presumed to be acting
Independently SO far as the Siberian
frontier is concerned. This will prob
ably be the cue for Japan and England
and Germany to do likewise. 1t is a
pity there could not have been concert
of action, but Independent eadeavor

possibly more rapidly.

The looting of the city of Tien Tsin
by the foreign troops, Americans and
Japanese excepted, recalls the historic
plumber of Pekin in 1860 by the English
and French, when the share of each
private soldier was estimated at five
hundred pounds, and yet millions in
treasure was left behind at the evacua
ton because it simply could not be
carried. There will be a rich booty
when the foreigners get to Peking this
time.

An idea of what it costs to send
troops to China may be gathered from
the following facts. The government
has Just made a railroad contract to
ship men from Washington to San
Francisco at $14.65 each, which is alb
surdly low. The contract fare across
the Pacific is $40 per man, and each
man is supposed to consume $40 worth
of provisions on the ocean voyage. His
food across the continent will amount
to at least 81. 1t thus takes S108.65 to
land a soldier in China from Washing
ton. If he originally comes from Cuba
or Porto Rico the cost is considerably
increased. To send a regiment from
Cuba to Taku or Tien Tsin would cost
not less than $4,000, all things con-
sidered. The cost of sending division
may thus be estimated. And these ex-
penses do not embrace clothing. am
munition, equipments, subsistence after
the men arrive, hospital or engineer
corps expenses, the vast cost of the
quartermaster's department, or any
thing but bare transportation and food
en- route. Verify war is a costly bust
ness.

terrible force which shook every

5 o'clock. The factory was COM
pletely demolished, and pieces Of
the boiler were carried half

the factory when the explosion
occurred except the night watch
man. He miraculously escaped

ROADS In INDIANA.
They Are Maintained in II SlOvenly
and Expensive Way, Just as in
other states.

That the system of road making
and the maintaining of average dirt
roads in Indiana is wrong, no one can
seriously question. But our law MAX
ers fail to improve matters. Our
laws ought to be changed so as to
abolish the practice of working out
privileges upon the highway and pro-
viding for money tax. The rate
should be fixed at SO much on each
and this tax should be collected as
other taxes are and paid over by the
county treasurer to the township
trustee, who should be the overseer
of all the public roads in his town
ship. 1t should be his duty to let out
all the work on the several roads to
the lowest responsible bidder, who
should be obligated to keep the road
in specified condition of repair for
one year. The trustee should furnish
the contractor with crushed stone
for use on the roads. With such a
system great majority of the coun-
ties in Indiana could, in a short time,
not only have passable roads, but in
few years time have system OF
rocked country roads that would be
passable and fit for travel ut all sea-
sons of the year. The purchase of a
rock crusher and the hire of a port
able engine would not be expensive,
considering the permanent good that
they would insure to the roads of a
township.-D. T. Stephenson, in Agri'
cultural Epitomist.

long as is required to wrap two or three
times around the stem of the plant, leav-
ing enough space for development.
Make the hole in the ground. put in

the fibrous roots. Wrap the paper
around the stem and fill in with soil
both inside and out. so that one-half
the paper will be below the surface and
half above, as shown in the illustra-
ton. The plant will then not be in
jurcd by the cutworm. | have treated
cabbage and tomato plants in this way
and have not lost one. | do not know
how successful this would be in the
market garden, but in my own private
plot it has worked to perfection.
l have been informed that by plant
ing a few castor beans here and there
in the garden the cutworms will be de-
stroyed. A lady friend planted a few of
these on the south side of her pansy bed
as protection from the sun, and she
found that she had accomplished more
than she had intended, for in the morn
ing when she went to look at her flowers
she found numbers of cutworms dead
on the top of the ground. 1t is thought
that the worms eat the roots of the cas-
tor bean and find them fatal. The
great objection to this plan is that the
bean grows SO rank and casts so much
shade that it is injurious to other
plants.-Orange Judd Farmer.

squads Always Sell Well.

Some people wonder why more
squads are not raised for market, and
say that when pigeons are so very
prolific there should be no reason for
the squads selling at from 25 cents to
so cents each, even in winter. The rea-
son why more squads are not produced
is doubtless due to the fact that the
men that attempt to raise pigeons do
not confine them in covered yards, that
is, yards with wire sides and tops. The
result is that all kinds of enemies prey
on the pigeons, and the constant loss
from this is large and discouraging
If doves are to be kept for the squads
they produce it is evident that the
work, to be successful, must be sci
entifically carried on.-Farmers' Re
view.

wELL-DRA1NED ROADS.
Greatest Improvement for the Least
Expense Is in Rational system
of Tile Drainage.

Good roads would certainly be q
great boon to the farmers on our
black prairie soils; but even at the
lowest estimate the cost seems too
great to be consistent with the pres
ent financial condition of the. average
farmer, especially so for the one who
depends on sending his corn away.
But there should be some system
of permanent improvement of our
roads 1t occurs to me the greatest
Improvement for the least expense is
in tile drainage, in which many farms
would receive much benefit, farmers,
of course, to pay their pro rata ac-
cordiug to benefits received.
First secure good and permanent
outlets. Use nothing less than eight
inch tile and at intervals of 40 or so
rods connect an eight-inch sewer pipe
with surface ditch. With heavy cast
iron crate just large enough to fit
inside the fange or socket end Of
sewer pipe; the bars of the CRATE to
be about seven-eighths of an inch;
with same space between; the connec-
tiou at bottom Of tile should be made
with cement to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity Of soil washing into tile from the
surface during an overflow.
When our roads are good there are
no better. and we have them three
fourths OF the year, or nearly that
proportion of time. hope to see the
time when there viii be no surface
