IMPROVE PUBLIC ROADS.

The condition of many OF the
public roads of the county could be
much improved by mixture of sand
and clay intelligently applied, and
the County Commissioners would
place the travelling public under
lasting obligations should they give
this matter their earnest and thought
full attention at once. The road lead
ing from Lexington to Edmund par
ticularly is in need of such remedy.
Travelling over it in it's present con-
dition is almost the sane as to kill
an animal by slow torture. To
pull a load over is flesh reducing
task and is burdensome and worrying
almost beyond endurance. 1t tries
the patience of man and oftentimes
maxi him think ugly words whether
he gives utterauce to them or not.
It may be that the road isnot IN such
an awful condition as that just de-
scribed, but thst it IS in heavy one
and that it could be greatly improved
by putting on it in proper proper
tions the mixture Of sand and clay
so as to make firm and hard road
bed its entire length, is fully recog-
nized by those who are compelled
to travel over it. This is by no
means the only road in the county
which can be put in excellent trav'
cling condition by an application
Of this road building material.
These improvement could be made
at small outlay of the money OF the
taxpayers and the benefits returned
to them in good roads would be very
large. In R;cblaud they have adopt
ed q system Of road building that
has proved to be q great succe5a, AID
the expense OF keeping them in re-
pair is surprisingly low. Our County
commissioners have an opportunity
to make a new departure IN road
making in this county that will for
ever thereafter relegate badroads out
of sight and win for themselves the
auproval of a grateful constituency.

HORSE BUCKED.
Rider Severely Hurt.

A Cincinnati man visiting in Texas.
on a ranch was thrown from horse
and so severely injured that his life
was despaired of. He takes pride in
telling how food saved his life. The
heavy drugs given seriously injured his
stomach and as he says.'It seemed l
would soon have to starve in the midst
of plenty. My stomach refused to di-
gest food and 1 ran down from 165 TO
1873 pounds When my appetite failed
/ was ready to give up, and it looked
as though 1 would soon wink out.
One morning the foreman's daughter
brought in what she called a splendid
food and it turned out to be Grape
Nuts. A little skeptical I ate it and
found it was good, and just the kind
of food I could keep on my stomach
which had been almost burned out by
the vile drugs.
I felt that had obtained a new lease
of life for improvement set in at once.
A week later 1 was weighed and had
gained two pounds. My weight has
since steadily increased by the constant
use of Grape-Nuts, and I am now bet
ter than I have been in years. as my
friends will all testify.
In all kinds of athletic sports notice
I have a greater reserve force than for
merly, for which I am indebted to
Grape-Nuts. Taken in moderation it is
the greatest food of it's kind in the
world, being equally well adapted TO
athletes and invalids.'' Paul Alvin

Why G. NJ. Arthur Went to
Washington.

Love and Politics rarely get together
In the same crowd.
They are as shy of one another as a
small boy is of a wash basin.
But there are exceptions. 1t takes ex-
ceptions. you know, to prove a rule.
This is one of the exceptions.
It's a story of how the little god with
the bow and culver got ahead of the
politicians.
Everybody around the state house
knows Miss Luella Rudolph. She was
until a few weeks ago stenographer for
Frank Nelson, state superintendent of
public instruction She is bright and
handsome and capable, and consequent
iy was admired by everybody.
Among her admirers was one who
was favored above the rest His name
was G. NJ. Arthur, and he held a clerk
ship in the Santa Fe offices. He gem
orally found it convenient to be going
Miss Rudolph's way when Office hours
were over, and there were bicycle rides
and moonlight walks, and all that sort
of thing.
Miss Rudolph is also Senator Bur-
tons niece. Consequently when Senator
Burton went back to Washington a few
weeks ago he saw that Miss Rudolph
got a good place in one of the depart
ments. She deserved it, though, for she
is an exceptionally competent stenog-
rapher. All of her friends regretted to
see her leave Topeka, especially the
young man in the Santa Fe offices.

about the fashion of bringing appeal
bonds to the court already fixed and
needing only the signature of the court
When the A. S. Hatch case was called
yesterday Mr. Hatch failed to appear,
and his attorney, Hib Case, could give
no informa ton as to his whereabouts.
1t was then discovered that the bond
which he had given was IN. G." He
had appeared on it and made his plea,
and had been given a chance to go out
and secure a "rehaSh" of the first bond.
The bond was void after the first APP
pearance of the defendant, but the
court had no idea that the druggist
would jump the town, which appears
ance of Mr.. Hatch which led the court
to say in a that settles it, tone of
voice: Hereafter this court will take
no bond which has been prepared be-
fore it is brought to court, and in no in
stance will a defendant be allowed, no
matter who it is, to go out and seek
bond, but will be detained by the Off
GERS pending the appearance of a bond
which is made out before an officer hav-
ing authority to certify the same" If
Mr.. Hatch has not escaped he has
missed a good chance, and has injured
the cause of king Alec" by starting
the wheels of justice in a new direction.
Hereafter the druggist will be locked
up like an ordinary bum as soon as his
bond expires.

endless chain letter system to block his
appointment. In fact nobody knew any
thing about it until nearly a month af-
ter he had gone to Washington.
1t has been just about 80 days since
Mr. Arthur went on to Washington to
take up his duties in his new place.
which is said to be much better than
the place he held in the Santa Fe Of
fees. Nobody grudges it to him ex-
cept some of the fellows who have been
waiting around for months for Senator
Burton to get their names on the pay
roll in some way or other.
The story has just leaked out this
week, and now the fellows who have
been waiting for a reward lin recogni-
ton of party services are furious.
They think it is a shame that young
man who has usually voted the Popu-
list ticket should be given a job while
many of the faithful are still standing
in line waiting for a chance at the pie
counter.
Everybody else is glad Mr.. Arthur
landed. 1t is refreshing to know that
Cupid has a pull as well as the polite
ianS when he chooses to exercise it.

Mr.. Arthur became a candidate for a

anything about practical politics He
didn't claim to be able to control the
delegation from his ward nor to carry
fifty votes in his vest pocket He didn't
even set up a claim to any 'inf1ooence'

consisted solely in going to the polls and
voting on election days when he felt like
it, and it is currently reported that he
was more apt to vote the Populist ticket
than enything else.

KENNEDY MAY BE IN.
Burlington Man Suggested as Cand i
date For Congress.

State Senator ]. A Kennedy, of Bur-
lington, is preparing to get into the
Fourth district congressional race
against Congressman Miller. His home
papers announce that politicians in va
rious parts of the district, as we'll as
a good many Coffey county Republi-
cans, are urging him to get into the
campaign. He has not yet said that he
would do So but it is not probable that
he will turn down a cry from the peo-
pie for his candidacy.
Senator Kennedy's candidacy might
seriously embarrass the Burton faction
in the Fourth district. It has been I'M
derStood that the Burton influence
stands behind Congressman Miller for a
denomination, and this is one thing that
gives Mr. Miller his confidence. SEN
ator Kennedy has been a Burton man
from the start. and made his fight for
state senator largely along those lines.
