IFrom Good Roads.l
League of American Wheelmen, whose
membership, understand, is fast climb.
ing to the 100000 mark, has done a
vast amount of work in making right
public sentiment.
"We must not forget that among these
wheelmen are thousands Of farmers and
their sons; statesmen, diplomats, mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers,
capitalists, mechanics, workmen-men
from all walks of life-as good people
as we have, patriotic, public spirited,
pushing citizens, whose power is being
felt more and more in many laudable
directions. fused to look with suspicion
upon their efforts. do so no longer, fot
T have never known them to take up any
work that did not mean more for Others
than it did for themselves.
81 must not forget my own profess
sion. Why, can hardly pick up an ex.
change in which there is not reference
to the good roads subject. Look at this,
just clipped from widely circulated
publication. The editor was talking
about a proposed piece Of good road be-
tween two western cities. His closing
paragraph is worthy Of close study and
is as follows:
"'But these roads cannot all be built
In one year. The county board should
lay out a plan for road improvement
covering a number Of years. A given
number Of miles might be allotted to
be completed each year. All parts OF
the county might be included, and in
time a system Of roads would be built
that would be a credit to the county
and a saving to the farmers. Perhaps
if the sessions Of the county board were
to be held in the early spring months,
instead of in the fall, when we nearly
always have good roads, we might see
something substantial accomplished
"Here is paragraph from Mime
sofa paper that attributes the failure OF
four merchants in March to bad roa5s.
The roads were so bad that collections
could not be made. Oh, yes, my profess
sion is doing it's part in Fastening the
good roads era"
The conversation was encouraging,
very, and indeed rather inspiring, for
what the old editor said is true. The
agitation is indeed widespread. 1t must
result in the upbuilding Of the required
good roads sentiment.

Canned Pears.

Bartletts are considered best for can
ming. but here are many other good
varieties. Peal and cut into halves,
then throw into cold water until ready
to can, to keep from discoloring. IRE
pare sirup of one pound of sugar and
twice as much water four pounds of
fruit. If the pears seem very hard
steam for few moments before put
ting them into the sirup. If not, put
them in the sirup and cook slowly
until tender, lift out carefully and
put into jars, fill very full of juice and
pnt the covers on.

A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.
The Tunneling of a Big Mountain al
sherman, WyO.. by the Union
Pacific Railroad.

Omaha, Neb., May 1.-The wonder
ful achievement of tunnelng d big
mountain at Sherman, Wyo.. by the
Union Pacific. in order to reduce he
grade and shorten the track, has beer
accomplished, and to-day, MAY first
regular service will commence on the
new line from Buford to Tie Siding
which becomes part of the main line
The contract for this work was
awarded about year ago. and its
completion is reckoned as one of the
most astonishing feats of rai;road en-.
cheering yet accomplished.
The Sherman hill tunnel. forming
an important part of the project, is
situated between Dale creek and Tie
Siding, nearly half a mile long Ir
the mountain it pierces is found the
est of granite rocks.
Standing conspicuously out in this
great engineering work are two fills.
Lone Tree fill and Dale Greek fill The
embankment at the last-named fill is
JAS feet in the highest place. 9O0 feet
long, 40 feet wide at the top. $50 feet
at the bottom. The Lone Tree fill
is southeast of the town of Sherman.
and the embankment is 13H feet high
at the highest point. These two fills
involved the handling of 100000 cubic
yards of earth and stone.
Two other entertainments adjacent
required the moving of 100000 yards,
SO that this particular part of the
work, all within a distance e. mile
neeessitated the moving of more than
seven hundred and fifty thousand
cubic yards of earth and rock

Mrs. AL. Wetzel, 81 South nth street,

"Peruna is the greatest medicine ON

your medicine l could not smell nor

sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud

Peruna cured me. Mrs. AL. Wetzel
If all the tired women and all the
nervous women, and all the women
that needed a tonic would read and
heed the words of these three fair La
dies who have spoken right to the
point, how many invalids would be
prevented and how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in q normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
If the nerves Jingle, If the brain il
tired, il the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
fabby mucous membranes of the d.
gestiye organs, Peruna reaches the
spot at once by giving to these menu
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-
ments. Peruna is an absolute specific
in these cases. The women everywhere
are praising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such multitude of women.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use Of Pc
runa, write at once to DIR. Hartman,
| giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

A MONSTER COFFEE ROAST.
The ROth-HOmeyer Coffee Co.'s Es-
fablishment, in ST. Louis. Conn
pletely Quilted by Fire.

st. Louis, May 2.-Fire, Tuesday ev-
ening in the five-story brick build
ing occupied by the Roth-Homeyer
Coffee Co., at No. 200 South Eighth
street, destroyed the stock, with a
loss of about $125,O0O.
AT $3.50 o'clock Henry Ledde, second
miller of the Eggers Milling Co., a few
doors south of the coffee house, no.
ticed smoke coming from the second
story front windows. He called an of
ficer who turned in the alarm. The
whole building was in flames when
the engines arrived. The firemen con-
fined the fire to the coffee building
and saved the property of the G. II.
Oliver Wall Paper Co., to the south,
and that of William Koenig e. Co..
manufacturers of harvesting machin-
cry, to the north.
Half an hour after the third alarm
mad been turned in a crash in the
building and a burst of smoke an.
nounced the fall of the heavy grind
ing machinery on the fourth floor.
Owing to the intense heat the fire.
men had been unable to enter the
lower part of the building. and were
thus saved from probable destruction
in the fall of the four floors.
The loss was roughly estimated by
Chief Swingley at 100000 on the
stock and $4,000 on the building, the
walls of which are still standing. The
amount of the insurance, it is be-
lieved, will cover the damage.

THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
See""" Dc"fh Has Resulted Frca
the Fricdbcrg Poisoning. and
There May He n Third.

st. Louis, May 1.-Alma Fricdberg.
the five-year- old daughter of Mrs.
FANNIE Friedberg. the woman who
committed suicide Sunday night, after
nrst administering poison to Alma
and her seven-year-old sister Emma,
dIed Monday afternoon. Physicians
worked constantly with the child up
10 the hour of her death. She passed
away in the greatest agony.
The other child, Emma, is in a dan
gerous condition. and grave fears are
entertained for her recovery, Physi-
clans are in constant attendance upon
her, and she is kept walking continu-
ally, to ward off the effect of the
drug. Arthur Friedberg, husband of
the dead woman, is Frustrated with
grief lie talks constantly of his be-
reavement and refuses all consola-
ton.
1t is learend that the probable
cause of Mrs. Friedberg's act wss
temporary insanity, induced by un-
grounded jealousy of her husband.
For several months the woman be-
heyed that her husband had ceased to
care for her and loved some other
woman. This belief caused discord in
the household, which terminated in
the tragedy.
Arthur Friedberg is 40 years old.
and has always borne the reputation
of devoted husband and a man of
exemplary habits.
According to his story. he took sup
per with his wife and family Sunday
evening and went cut to visit a friend
at seven o'clock. He returned at nine
O'Clock and knocked at the door, but
his wife refused to admit him, and
threatened to shoot him unless he left
immediately. FrieGberg argued with
her, and tried to persuade her to open
the door, but witlu recess. Finally.
giving up in despaif departed.
Emma Friedberg sag $ that her moth
err was very much excited all evening,
especially after the incident with her
father. Just about bedtime Mrs. Fried
oerg sent Emma cut to buy some ice
cream. When the child returned with
the confection her mother went into
the kitchen with it, locking the door
after her. 1t about ten minutes she
called the children in to eat some ice
cream.
There We're three saucers upon the
table, each one heaped with the
cream. Alma and her mother quickly
ate their portions, but Emma SAYS
something restrained her from eat
ing hers. Mrs. Friedberg insisted that
she should do so, and she swallowed
few spoonfuls. Presently Mrs. Fried
berg went into the front room and
fell upon the bed unconscious, and
Alma was taken with a violent vom-
ting fit.
Emma, terror-stricken, ran into the
street screaming for help. Neighbors
rushed into the house and medical aid
was summoned. Immediately upon
the arrival of the doctors it was dis
covered that the woman was beyond
assistance. and all their attention was
devoted to the two little girls.
A search of the premises disclosed
that bottle of cocaine and one of NOR
phine, which were kept in a medicine
chest in the kitchen, had been emp
tied into the ice cream.
