REPAIR OF HIGHWAYS,
Should Begin as Soon as the Roads.
Are Open to Traffic.

Should Begin as Soon as the Roads
Are Open to Traffic.
The Massachusetts state highways
commission says that repairs should
begin the day they are opened to traf.
fc, and the attention which they re-
ceive the first few months of use deter
mines their usefulness and length of
life.
Accordingly the commission has
adopted the system of continuous re-
pairs, the cost of which SIS about
equally distributed over the roadway
and roadside" Where the length of
road warrants it the work is done by
men who devote their whole time to it;
otherwise it is done by local men, IN
der a division engineer which proves
much more costly than the first named
plan. Thorough rolling with a steam
roller as soon as the frost is out in the
spring and before the subgrade is dry
sis one of the best means of keeping
a stone road in good condition"
The report contains a table showing
the cost of maintaining roads by towns
prior to 1900, in 1900 and the total to
the close of that year, with the average
per mile, both total and for 1900 The
maximum expenditure for maintenance
was S660.6S per mile per year for 1.61
miles of road in Athol, or a total of
$4.254 since the road was built. The
expenditure per mile in 1900 for this
stretch was S1O33S Considering the
year 1900 alone the repairs per mile
of road ranged from 90 cents for EOS
miles in Haverhill to SLIPS for 4.19
miles in Leicester.

And very cold and tired was 1.
Across the wide, deserted void
We trudged beneath heavy sky.
We felt of friends and joy bereft
Since my bright second we had left.
In sooth, twas bad enough to plod
From scenes so dear to beau and belle,
But fate had still heavier rod
My first without a warning fell
And on the ground lay white and still
Just as we reached the castle hill.
We ran, and as we ran we pressed
My first into my second small.
Not ours to sleep, to sit, to rest,
If we would reach the town at all.
But still we stopped my first to roll,
And thus that night we made my whole.

What the skin is to the outside of the body, the mucous membrane is to the fn- side of the body. Every organ, every duct and passage of the body is lined with mu- cous membranes
 A general fiabbiness of these mucous membranes constitutes what pr. Hartman calls systematic catarrh. A person with systematic catarrh cannot stand exertion. He is all tired out. He is nervous and fidgety. He is sal1ow and depressed He has little zest for life and is unfitted for business.

In systematic catarrh there is more or less catarrh of every organ in the body. The catarrh may have originated in the head and throat, but it has finally per- vaded the whole system.
 It produces a wretched condition The mucous membranes of the whole body re- fuse to do their work properly Sight. hearing and taste are slightly affected. The lungs are weak; the voice husky. The tonsils are red and inflamed The stom- ach does not digest food well. The liver acts sluggishly.

 'December IS, 1S90.-I am still following your advice and am getting along we'll February 12, 1S91.-I am still improving in every way. The catarrh is leaving my head and throat.

 For sometime my wife had been sick. She was very thin, had no appetite. could not sleensssshs. and was troubled with constipation. 70 8s
 "The physicians we consulted said it was dyspepsia. One of them said it was catarrh. She could get no relief until she began to take Peruna and Manalin Be- fore she had taken half bottle of each she was conscious of a marked change.
 "She began to sleep at night, appetite came back bowels were regular, and now, after taking five bottles, she is entirely well. She looks like a new woman
 We cannot say half enough in praise of your medicines. The physicians we em- ployed were very much surprised when they learned that Peruna and Mana1in cured my wife" se
 There are no substitutes for Peruna. Peruna is the only systemic catarrh reme- dy on the market. No remedy before the public today can boast of as many com plete cures as Peruna.

CORONER VIEWS
 CREMATED NEGRO Undertakers Only Attendants at
 AIexander's Funeral.
SHERIFF MAKES STATEMENI I
Said He Did All in His Power to Pre- vent the Burning But Was Over whelmed by Superior Numbers.
 Didn't Want Malitia.

Leavenworth, Kan, January IS. = The funeral of Fred Alexander, the negro who was burned at the stake yesterday after noon, took place today and was attended only by the undertaken and his assistants The remains were inferred in the potter s field. The coroner empaneled jury, which viewed the remains before interment, but he has not decided when he will hold an inquest. He is looking up evidence, but IS unable to find any one to testify. Nothing has been done toward making any arrests, and when the Mayor was asked if he would take any steps in the matter he answereds
 Ut is a State case; I have nothing to do with it."
 Officials Preparing Defense.
 Officials responsible for the life of Alex ander today began the preparation of their defense. The negro's guilt of the assault and murder last August of Pearl Forbes, which he denied with his last breath, was, they say, proved conclusively by the mans own statements while held at the Lansing penitentiary. The evidence will be gathered and published.
 In addition Sheriff Everhardy said today that the report that Alexander had assault ed a third girl at Stallings, near here, was true, and that the young woman had ap- peared at the penitentiary before the start for Leavenworth was made and positively identified the negro as her assailant.
 Sheriff Everhardy, who, together with Warden Thompson of the penhentiary, IS responsible for the removal of Alexander from the penitentiary, offered his defense this morning. Last night, overcome by the strain under which he had been worked since Alexander's arrest, Everhardy went to bed and sent word to the newspaper men that he was too i'll to make statement. He said:
 The Sheriff Explains.
 Those who condemn me should place themselves in my position. I did my duty so far as lay in my power, but l was over whelmed by superior numbers. l told the warden I would land Alexander in the county jail and I did. When l realized the crowd was bent on getting my prisoner I stood up in the carriage and called to the driver to drive through to the county jail in spite of the crowd and overrun anyone who should get in the way. l locked up the man and did not give up the keys, al- though several demands were made upon me. I deplore the fact that Alexander was burned. I did my full duty as sheriff of Leavenworth County
 When asked regarding the report that he had begged Governor Stanley for State militia, Sheriff Everhardy said:
 q did not request that. am now glad the troops did not arrive, for if they had there would have been several innocent lives lost. The militia could have done no good Two companies would have been powerless to suppress the mob, and have not the least doubt but that every Ma tional Guardsman would have been killed. It is not for me to say whether think the man guilty of the crime"
