RISE OF THE AMERICAN CITY.
The Wonderful Story of the Cen
sus of 1900.

sus of 1900.
Walter Wellman telling ''I'he Won
derful Story Of the Census OF 1900" in
the September McClure's, says:
"rhere should be some way OF setting
forth the marvellous facts without
choking all the heroics out OF them
with the dry dust Of statistics. I'm
consciously Mr.. Wellman has found
way. His article, "Rise OF the
American City," could not be made
more entertaining for Americans. who
are justly proud OF the remarkable
growth OF their country. IL Is indeed
u wonderful story which the last CEN
sus has to tell. This rise of the
American CITY, rs most people view 1t,
IL at the expense Of the rural districts.
Mr.. Wellman explains how 1t Is that
"the cities OF America can multiply
by ten In the same half century that
the farming community Is multiplying
by two, and that without any false
proportions or insecure foundations
for the great industrial structure TO
stand upon"

SUSpENDS PUBLICATION.

Editor j. w. Chambers, who during
the last three years, has given the
people OF Belmont an excellent local
newspaper, announced In The Bee Of
last week, that his newspaper career 10
that village was at an end. The print
ing Office will be moved to Benton,
where Mr.. Chambers will establish n
newspaper in the near future. Mr..
Chambers says:
awhile IL IL not pleasant to ac-
knowledge defeat, yet IL Is but fair to
our subscribers that they should know
some OF the reasons for suspending
publication OF The Bee. For the past
three years IL has taken 80 per cent.
of the Office income to pay for the
Improvement and running expenses Of
The Bee. Had the publisher been
compelled TO pay salary for the
work done, Mt n fair rate OF compen-
sation, the paper could not have
existed six months. Having an ad-
vantage OF doing all the work, and
by engaging In other professions TO
help maintain the office and home
expenses, we have been able to
struggle along, with the hope Of In
creased support In days TO come.
II we were asked to name the chief
reason OF our non-support In Belmont,
we would say that II was the lack OF
appreciation of the need OF n local
paper, Many view II paper In the
light OF u luxury and not n necessity.
A second cause has been IN honest
conviction OF many business men that
local newspaper advertising WAS not n
profitable Investment, and consequent
ly shifted the responsibility of the
PAPERS support on other shoulders,

THE ISLAND OF LUZON.
A Months Ocean Voyage on the
Samoa.

Mr.. J. A. Meserole recently re-
ceived the following letter from his
brother John, under date of Angeles
Isle of Luzon, July II, 1901:
DEAR BRoTHER-I sent you postal
card before leaving Seattle, Wash,
about my leaving for Manila. Well
| arrived safely after splendid voy-
age OF about one month. That S
about the time it takes for the moder-
ate class OF steamers. The one |
came over on Is the largest freight
carrier in the Y. S. service-the
Samoa, about 1900 tons. We car
ried forage for Manila and different
stations in the Philippine Islands. ]
did not stay In Manila but one day,
but went into the country. This place
is about sixty miles from Manila and
free from mud and swampy land. 1t
Is about the healthiest part OF the
Island, with sandy soil, and although
this is the rainy season, it is nice and
dry here. The natives here are not
so bad as painted. They are psac-
able class. OF course, they have not
much education, because under Span
iSh rule they could not obtain 1t.
That Is what has ruined the Spanish
government. And in other things
mechanical they lack just on account
OF not having modern tools. OF
course they will now have lots OF diff
ferent articles. Already the Ameri-
cans have introduced lots OF different
things. And they catch on quickly.
They are not 50 apt at using our
tools and our ways, but In course of
time they may beat us, for they can
do fine work. The u. S. government
has sent over about one hundred
school teachers to be stationed in diff
ferent parts of the new territory. Two
have located here, introducing our
mode OF teaching. Only the other day
| saw a group OF young boys and
girls having our old time primary
books with pictures Of animals and
so forth. II reminded me of my old
school days. But to see than look at
Them and ponder would do you good,
Tor they never had seen such books
before You would be greatly sur
prised to see how quick the young
sters learn the English tongue. They
will ask you what we call so and So
and they will tell you what they call
It in their tongue, so you see we both
learn.
About the climate: we'll, rather
warm in the middle of the day but
pleasant evenings. The houses here
are made of bamboo, that is the
frame, and the rest is made OF woven
strips u cane and different brush.
They have no windows like ours.
Instead they have one big opening
held up by IA bamboo pole. You can
close it or leave it open. All they
seem to want is enough covering to
keep the rain out.
Well, | will close these few lines by
asking you to send me any kind of
literature, ms reading matter is
scarce. II you should send over n
cook book It would come handy to
me. hope these few lines find you
and family all we'll and everybody
doing we'll, especially yourself.
was never in better health myself.
like it here. SO far | can't tell how
long may remain. Hope to hear
from you soon. 1t takes one month
TO send this letter and for another to
come, so you see | can't hear much of
you in year. Love to all, especial
ly to yourself and wife.
Your Brother Jack.

The Madison Democrat thus reasons
from cause to effect:

Secretary Wilson, OF the depart
ment of agriculture, says that the de-
nuding of our forests at the sources OF
our streams causes the hot spell and
drouth, which we have found so un-
comfortable. 1t has long been known
heavy rainfall have caused incalcul-
able damage along the great streams.
So then these theories being correct
we may thank our tariff on lumber for
the calamities OF flood and drouth.
The lumber tariff shutting out lumber
from other regions has stimulated and
FASTENED the destruction OF our forests,
and the arid belt has been increased
We are washed with foods In the
spring and dried up in July and Aug
nst, all on account OF too much tariff

STATE AID TO GOOD ROADS.

The state of Connecticut has fixed it's policy as to good roads. For fye wears it has been experimenting with state aid to towns desiring to improve their highways. The result is that q bill is now before the legislature ap- propriating half million dollars to be expended under the highway net The bill so far has encountered no opposition whatever. Similar laws but with smaller appropriations, are now on the statute books of New York and New Jersey, and their ope- ration is proving highly satisfactory. 4 The next general assembly of this state ought to enact q good roads law. Half a million dollars might seem large sum to devote to state aid for two years, but Kentucky IS a much larger state than Conneeti- cut, and her resources are ample Tor so wise an expenditure. What Ken tuckv needs most is roads-turnpikes, electric roads and railroads -rodds of all kinds. The more that can De built the better it will be for the state. At present the railroads are heavily taxed, and the states organ ic law would not permit the exemp- ton of new electric or steam lines from taxation, even if it were deemed advisable Still, 1t can safely be said that if new roads were exempted, as new factories are in this city, for n period of years, the wealth they would develop would vastly increase the general revenues. Such exempt ion being impractible it is not worth while to discuss it, but there can De but little question of the policy oT state aid to highways Farmers ought to take up this subject and ag- itate it in preparation for the next legislature.
 State aid can be extended in two ways. One by the appropriation or money as in the state of Connecticut the other. by the use of convictsf n road building or the q1arrying and breaking of stone for road materia which can be distributed to countries and towns making application for if Bills are now pending in the IT. Inois legislature with this object in view. Tn this state the constitution prohibits the employment of convicts outside of the penitentiaries, and an amendment would be necessary un- less they broke rock for road material. In some way or other fheir labor could be better utilized in road mak- ing. and such work would profit the state more than i'll the manufacture of goods

It is proposed to add two iiewA ordinances that will have the desired effect. One will Dc felt by saloons run as concert halls, number of which arc located on Grove street. These re- sorts are conducted on the plan of tho Bowery saloons.

The authorities of tho borough also intend to get after the objection- able class of men and women who fn- fest Savin Rock resorts. It is pro-. posed to clean up the Rock, and un- der the new law people of questionable reputc are to be taken in if their befnS- ior Is such as it has been in the past seasons.

CASES OF TYPHOID.

 New Haven, Conn. April 0.r Tiie Of ficial report on the number of typhoid cases in the city is given as 135, a considerable increase over the figures made public last night. It Is prob able, however, that the actual num- lber of cases is in the vicinity of 200, the discrepancy between the official figures and the actual being due to the fact. tthnt the examinations made before reporting to the board of health can be completed at the rate of but twenty day, while the actual increase of cases for the past four days has averaged over thirty-five.
