Seeming game, they started into the
shop to ask the darlxies some frivolous
busy in escaping. They flew gracefully
out at the back door, and proceeded TIC
elOpe, through houses, under houses and
over houses. Frank Hendrix, who goes
by the pet name Of Baby Elephant
got into the game, and ran himself to
a standstill, and incidentally ran one of
the negroes into the same box Lucas
chased the other several blocks, firing
occasionally to increase his speed. 1t
is alleged that one of his bullets found
a resting place in the rear Of the
escapee. If so. it was not a serious
wound, as he has not been seen since.
The other negro, who was captured,
had in his possession a good suit of
clothes, which he had been endeavoring
to hook for any fraction of the value
thereof, which was about S35- He tolG

was the guilty party. and had stolen the
clothes in Leavenworth. The tailor's
mark had been carefully removed from
the garments, and they have not as yet
been claimed. The captured negro, who
gave the name of George Ellison, was
booked as a vag and is still in custody.
Mary Wade was turned over to the

horsewhipped Mayor Parker, returned
to Topeka yesterday from Hoyt, and
Governor Stanley should keep his Office
door locked and have the state house
electrician look after his police alarm.
Miss Boies returned to Topeka sooner
than she expected and the reason is
said to be because she did not get the
warmest kind of welsome at home. Or
else it was too warm. Her relatives

The Good Roads organization of the
State OF New York has at last
reached the conclusion that good roads
cannot be achieved except by paying
for them, and has therefore decided to
press for an appropriation from the
Legislature of $1,0o0,000 for the cur
tent year, the full amount to he eX-
praded upon the highways of the
State.
As Il starter, and in the absence Of
securing anything better, 1t is TO be
hoped the efforts of the organization
may prove successful. If the appro-
priatlon of million dollars per annum
could be made continuous for sufti-
cieni number of years, undoubtedly in
due time the State would End itself
In possession of frst-class highways.
Continuous appropriations, however,
cannot be counted upon, and in the
meantime the sporadic millions ap-
pCpriated will be so spread out over
the State as to really accomplish no
practical or permanent results.
The great State Of Ohio years ago
solved the good roads problem, when
its Legislature passed a law divid'
ing the State into districts and max
ing it compulsory upon each district
to build it's own roads and keep them
in repeir, the lands themselves being
taxed for the cost in proportion to
the benefits received, The owners Of
the lands put up an energetic kick
against the scheme, but the law stood
the test, with the result that Ohio
to-day has the most perfect system
OF public roads Of not only any State
in The Union, but Of any equal area
in the world.
The roads cost the farmers q good
round sum, and for several years the
burden upon the land seemed almost
too heavy to bear, but the end justi-
fed the means, and now no farmer
would be willing to surrender the
roads and take back his proportion
of the cost.
The good roads have more than re-
imbursed the lands for their cost, and
they are there for all time to come, the
keeping of them in repair being to a
very large extent a labor of love-

RitnminouR MacadaIn.

BY the use of carefully and sclen-
tifically prepared bituminous cements,
skilfully mixed with crushed stone
under the direction Of men who have
had years of practical experience In
handling bituminous materials sulta'
BILE for street pavements, a great I'M
provement is made over the ordinary
method employed in constructing ma
cadam roads.
The advantages of bituminous ma
cadam properly constructed are Its dur
ability, its being impervious to water,
frost proof in winter, and preventing
mud, dust and loose stones in summer.
1t makes n clean, comparatively noise
less and attractive roadway, while the
ordinary nacadam road in general use
in this country soon wears badly under
traffic, making mud or dust, and soon
allows the stones to loosen.
A bituminous macadam road Is wa
terproof. 1t does not absorb the filth OF
the street, and prevents the washing
by heavy rains to which the ordinary
macadam road is subject.
Good and uniform results cannot be
obtained by the use of common coal
tar obtained from gas works in differ
ent sections of the country. In fact 1t
is impossible to secure a bituminous
cement from the products Of the aver
age gas works which will produce
good result.
The construction Of this form Of road
way demands the services Of experts
in this line of work The ordinary
coal tar has been tried repeatedly dur
ing the last thirty years. With a very
few exceptions it has been a total fail
ure.
The crown Of road when finished
may vary on different roads, or even
on different grades Of the same road
from one-half inch TO one inch to the
foot. Of course, no infeXible data can
be given until the requirements Of that
special road are known.
Where the travel is light a good road
can be built with six inches Of gravel
and a light coat of crushed stone placed
on top This works well on a steep
grade.

Rear Broke Up the Dance.

South Heberton. twelve miles from
Hazleton, Pa, has Just gone through
an exciting experience with a tame
bear until recently the property OF
Hugh Malloy, who bought the animal
from circus.
The bear behaved well while in
Malloy's care, but the latter had no
particular use for Bruin, SO he was dis
posed of to Henry Krause, tavern.
keeper at South Heberton, Krause
chained the bear in his barn, where
he had intended to keep it until sum-
mer. He conducted a dance at his
place Saturday night, but the music
disturbed the bear, and, breaking his
chain, Bruin entered the dance hall
on his hind legs, Constable Ludwig
and Lorah Schwabe, two Of the dane
ers, attempted to get hold Of the part
OF the chain the bear dragged but
they were knocked dowr and rendered
unconscious. The animal then attack
ed Krause, who, with a Winchester,
killed the intruder.

American ANN unItion.

Gen. Chaffee was not long in proving
beyond any doubt that the Cuban could
never be q match for the ordinary
American soldier. This was strikingly
illustrated in the following incident:
When Chaffee was advancing on El
Caney he sent a Cuban officer with
some Cuban soldiers over to take
certain Spanish blockhouse. They
marched away triumphantly and took
a position several miles distant on a
convenient and comfortable hill. Here
they rested, the officers and men shoot
Nng in the direction Of the blockhouse,
but, Of course, not reaching anywhere
near 1t. An American scout. think
ing the blockhouse had been taken,
went around 1t, and to his surprise
discovered that it was filled with Span
ish soldiers all sound asleep. He went
away ard reported to Chaffee. Soon
afterward the Cuban officer rode up
with much excitement and said:
1--WE are all out OF ammunition. Give
us more"
"The kind of ammunition you are
out Of" replied Chaffee, 'is brains,
sir, and the kind we have got would
not fit your heads"

HOW CrimInn,n Mnn ne petected.

When the hand touches anything it
leaves upon the object touched repre-
sentation Of that part which came in
contact with the object. This impress
sion is not visible to the eye; it is
made by the acid Of moisture exuded
from the skin. II you place the palm
of your hand fiat on sheet of blank
paper you may not see the taintest
trace Of the hand, and many people
will be angry at the suggestion that
there is any exudation-their hands are
perfectly dry, they do not suffer from
perspiration. Nevertheless, if metal
plate covered with a certain chemical
preparation be passed over the paper
the representation OF the hand becomes
visible in great detail.
A French expert declares that when
a burglar touches curtain or a door
post, or anything else, he leaves the
mark behind him, and it is possible to
get a picture Of 1t. Even If he walks
across the carpet in his socks he will
leave a picture. AS the markings OF
the hand are quite distinct in each in
dividual, these pictures may prove use
full in bringing crime home TO the per
petrator.
