Year, One Dollar!

Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Vail left for
Los Angles, Cal. Thursday evening
where they will spend the winter
thus avoiding the severe weather
we usually experience here.
Col. Beal of Cherokee, la. who has
for a few days past been looking
after property interests in the
northern part Of the county, stopped
at this station on his return home,
Friday and spent the day with his
friend, W. Jones.
Rev. Father Bartholome returned
from Wabash, his old home Friday
evening, after a weeks stay there
with relatives and friends. He was
accompanied by his brother and
sister who will make their home
here with him
The shortage in freight cars is
enormous. 1t is estimated that at
least one hundred thousand more
cars are necessary to handle the
traffic Of the country. The railroads
are making every effort to increase
their rolling stock, but the shops
are unable to turn out the new
cors and engines fast enough to
relieve the need to any graet extent
Democrat, Adrian. Think Of
the above being taken from a
democrat paper. Bro. Schaetfer
will be expelled from democracy.
It is reported that Mrs. Isgrig
created quite scene at St. Peter
asylum on arrival there She went
willingly but became inquisltive as
to where she was being taken,
while in a hack after leaving the
train. At the asylum when asked
by the Supt. if she knew she was in
an insane asylum, she became
violent. He called the lady superin-
tendent and she asked the same
question, resulting in another
spasm. A nurse was called and en-
deavored to persuade the patient to
20 with her but was informed if
she-did not go away she would get
her nose broke and assumed an
attitude that indicated she would
carry out the threat. Finally several
female nurses were called and after
some tussling which resembled a
foot ball scrimmage when both
teams drop on the ball the patient
was taken to the ward.

RELIC OF BUReoYNE's DAY.
An Old Corduroy Road Brought to Light
That Recalls His Invasion.

An Old Corduroy Road Brought to Light
That Recalls His Invasion.
Workmen engaged in making exca-
vations for the foundation OF a rail-
road bridge over the Batenk1ll river,
near Greenwich, N. Y, made an inter-
esting discovery short time ago when
they uncovered a corduroy road. con-
structed probably long before bridges
across the BatenlSill were thought or
The old road was found to be in hne
state of preservation.
Hemlock logs about Is inches in
diameter were found regularly LAID
down, and the uneven spaces between
the logs were leveled up with triansu-
lar-hewn strips of wood. A deposit OF
earth. four or five feet thick. covered
the whole and directly above the road
large hemlock tree was growing
when the excavation was made. The
presence of the tree shows conclusive
" that the earth had been undisturoed
for more than a century.
Without doubt the road dates back
| to the time of Burgoyne's invasion In
| 1777, and was built by troops under
| Col Baum. or some of his officers.
For century and quarter the logs
| have been hldQen Dy IhS uepoSA'
brought down by the stream. Thel1
existence had been forgotten and the
| exact point where Baum's Inflated ex-
petition crossed the Batenkill has been
only legend until now.
1t will be remembered that Burgoyne
led his army from Canada into the
valley of the Hudson, intending tt
force his way down the river until he
could communicate with Gen. Clinton
army. which was then stationed a
New York. Before he was hemmed II
by the American forces he ordered
Col. Baum, with a force OF men, u
march to BENIN gton, VT, and destro!
stores at that point. On his march II
Bennington Baum crossed the Baten
kill, and there is little doubt that tn
road lately unearthed was laid during
his march.
Col. Baum met with disaster at Ben
, nington and not long afterward Bur
goyne himself surrendered at Schuyler
Vile. not three miles from the plac
where the road was discovered.

: vent the British artillery from sinkin

Oil in Cleveland

The Rockefeller residence is even
larger than it appears in the picture
It towers above the old shade trees,
which are on a level with it. There
are two main entrances to the spacious
halls of the first floor. One is at the
front, the steps from the porch at this
point leading directly to the lawn
within a few feet of the long slope.
The other entrance is opposite the
carriage porch on the east side The
family carriage pulls up in front of this
entrance when the family is to go FOR
a drive The porch is a wide one and
here and there is furnished with rugs,
small tables and chairs of fine wicker.
There are, too. some very common
| looking chairs, and several of the porch
| rugs cannot be said to possess any
! particular elegance. The interior OF
the house is finished in the dark-col-
ored woodwork of the day in which II
was built The interior, though hand
somely furnished, does not differ ma
terially from the ordinary fine resi-
dence of the wide and long hall type
Not a single Cleveland workingmaI
was employed in the erection OF the
| elegant stone lodge at the entrance tt

noticeably beautiful pieces of architec
.ture on the outer portion of the ave

ming. 1t stands three stories high,
with porches at the front and across
the western side of all three floors.
This house. taken apart from its vast
and magnificent surroundings, would
rank with many Of the fine city resi-
dences, but at Forest Hill 1T becomes
the central figure of an immense estate.
The immensely of Mr.. Rockefeller's
holdings here would indicate that he
does not propose to be outdone by even
the lords and barons of monarchical
lands. Eight hundred acres, with for
ests, brooks, gardens, walks, drives,
golf grounds and residences of atten-
dants, form one of the most interest
ing sights of the buckeye state

Handsome Structure o.

ons of the sights of Cleveland. 1t can
be seen from the main railroads east
and west and from most of the street
cars which traverse Euclid avenue.
Not long ago Mr.. Rockefeller gave to
the city coo acres of land in this vicin-
ity for park and the city is now i'm
proving it with beautiful driveways
and walks.
The New York city residence of the
family of John D. Rockefeller is in
West Fifty-fourth street and is not
especially imposing and not at all os-
tentatious. Here the fnancier, after
his days routine work, has loved to
spend his evenings with his family.
1t is a beautifully furnished house
despite the early economies Of the mas
ter.
Another favorite residence Of the
family is located at Greenwich, Conn

made Immortal by Washington 1rv-
ing and sacred, therefore, in the an
nails of American literature, the an
cestral palace of John d. Rockefeller,
the first Millionaire, will shortly be
erected.
This magnificent castle to be built
by the richest man in the world, will,
when completed. be conferred upon his
son, John d. Rockefeller, Jr., who, as
lord of the Pocantico hills, will rule an
estate vast and imposing.
The Rockefeller castle is to cost, at
the very least computation, S1,0OO,OOO,
to initiate all that is most imposing in
the feudal castles of England and
France. to be enriched with the art
treasures that great wealth can alone
command. to excel in the extravaganza
of its interior establishment Of rare
marbles, costly bric-a-brac, priceless
tapestries and plate.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., proposes
that the new house of Rockefeller
shall be the finest country seat in the
country.
The new stable on this estate is
about complete. 1t cost S250,OO0 and is
built of highly polished granite. The
building covers more tnan 500 sqSlre
feet. 1t is three stories high, count
ing the basement, which will be used
for farm wagons. 1t is replete with

there are a number of apartments for
those who go to Forest Hill to see
Mr.. Rockefeller or the members of his
family. The principal room is the re-
ception hall, which occupies the larger
part of the ground floor. Here those
who go to see Mr.. Rockefeller wait
while the residence is communicated
with to find out whether or not Mr..
Rockefeller will see the persons who
call. The portecochere is large enough
so that two or three carriages may
stand under 1t at a time, and callers
can go from their carriages to the re-

How to Diminish Crime.

In the opinion of Sir Robert Ander-
son, in an article on professional
Crime" in the current issue of Nine
teenth Century, we now allow to be
wasted very large part of the knoWl-
edge in the archives of Scotland Yard
and in the heads of its principal Of
ficers, says a London paper. They
could put their fingers tomorrow on
some seventy professional criminals
who are the inspirers and organizers
of by far the greater part of what may
be called the skilled offenses against
property in this country, and If these
seventy men, all of whom have prob
ably been convicted many times, were
simultaneously seized and shut up In
a prison or asylum for the rest Of their
lives. there would be drop in crime
comparable with the drop in typhus
cases from the end OF the eighteenth
to the end of the nineteenth centuries.

with the accumulated hundreds Of
millions that have come to joan d.
Rockefeller he has established sew
eral of the finest residences to be found
in America. The two most notable of
these are Forest Hill, on East Euclid
avenue, Cleveland, O., and near larry
town, on the Hudson.
Mr.. Rockefeller purchased his coun-
try residence and the surrounding
grounds in 1894 for $653.O00. To this
he added in 1897 $4,000 worth of land
in Sleepy Hollow. Then he bought 2O7
acres, comprising the Kingsland farm,
for which he paid 5000 an acre.

Survival in the Coronation Service
1t is SO long since we elected our
nominal rulers that many of us for
get that a king was ever on the footing
of a Roman consul or an American
president Yet a survival of that early
practice is still to be heard in the cor
onation service. "Sirs,'' said the Arch
bishop of Canterbury after Queen Vic
toria had entered the Abbey and
shown herself in the prescribed ritual
to her people on all sides, Il here pre-
sent to you Queen Victoria, the un-
doubted Queen of this Realm: Where
fore all you who come this Day to do
your Homage, are you willing to do
the same?" In this rite, now purely
formal, we see the remaining shadow
of the old Teutonic custom of choos-
ing the most capable or popular man
in the nation to be its leader or ruler
