GOOD ROADS DISCUSSED.
Enthusiastic Road Meeting at Lamar
Saturday,

The citizens OF Barton county are agi.
tatng the question Of good roads. They
have already held several meetings. A
meeting was held last Saturday concern
ing which the Lamar Democrat has tho
following.
The good roads meeting Saturday was
disappointment, iuasmuch us it was
impo' siblo for d. Ward King to be pres.
ent to deliver an address.
hut despite the disappointment there
were some warm discussions. Most OF
the discussions were concerning the use
of the Kiug road drag.
Those who have attended the-good
meetings, all along, were inclined to foy
or the drag. Those who were at the
meeting for the first time were inclined
TO oppose the idea OF using drag. The
Hon. I, W. harkless, who is good
roads enthusiast. spoke worry forciably IN
replying to the criticisms OF the new Wis
itors. lie said that while it was per
fectly true that drag wouldn't bridge
streams, nor put dirt on road where
there was nothing but rocF, upon nine
out OF every ton miles OF road in Barton
county it would do an incallulable a
mount OF good.
4. o. st. John spoke strongly in fav.
or Of a orag, He told Of the personal
experience Of his father and several
other farmers up 10 the vicinity Of Shel,
don, last winter. There was gentleman
prescott, VITO bore witness to the cor
Toctness Of what Mr.. st. John said con.
cernihg the great good the farmers,
about Sheldon, had done the roads with
drag,
Judge G.. G.. Coates was especially
anxious to stir up the people on tho
road question. lie declares that the
people must first be aroused before
many farmers would agree to 90 any
dragging.
Judge Callison, wanted commites
appointed to construct drag and have
it ready for use at tho uext meeting.
Seveaal opposed his motion, among
them being ChNirmanpetgen and L. W
Harkicss They:boih argued that wher
the next meeting occurred, conditions
might not be favorable for the use OF
the drag, and this would give many an
erroneous idea ioi Nhat it would do
Judge Cnllison family withdrew hi
motion.
Mr.. Houo!S, Of LNmNr, Was against
the use Of the drag, as was also Arthur
MAun. ,rhe latter said that on one &C
casion he bad donated five or six day;
work on the roads 10 his dirtrict. Ho

BRYAN IS WELL PLEASED.
Judge Upholds Him on All Moral
 Points Involved

New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. Civilian J. Bryan reached thls city late to-day from Lincoln, Neb., and at once went to the office of his attorney. where he read the decision in the Bennett will contest which Judge Cleveland handed down early in the day. MT. Bryan made the following statement:
 The decisiQn of Judge Cleveland in the Bennett will case iS in my favor on all moral questions raised by the heirs, and against me on the technical law points only.
 "rhe judge finds that no undue influ- ence was exercised on Mir. Bennett and that no injustice was done to the rela- tives. He holds however. that the let ter to Mrs. Bennett cannot be probated with the will. This. in effect. declares that the bequest would have been good if 1t had been made direct. as Mir. Bennett suggested. but under the decis- ion the letter cannot be probated in the absence of proof showing that 1t was actually in existence at the moment when the will was executed. If the bequest fails. it will not be the fault of MT. Bennett. but my fault, and this point will be determined by the higher court. 1 am much better plea sed with the de- Cision than l would have been If the court had decided for me on the legal point and against me on the moral ques- tion involved. His decision on the ques- tion of undue influence Is full, empha tic and all that could be desired. It Is a complete answer to all the insinuations of the unfriendly papers
 Judge Cleveland tomorrow will hear motions from the attorneys for Mir. Bry- an and for Mrs. Bennett and the heirs on the form of the decree to be entered The motion for an appeal to the Supreme Court will then be made.

HANNA HOLDS THE WHIP
MASTER OF THE REPUBLICAN,
 PARTY.
There is a Call for Him to Accept the Nomination, and Roosevelt Makes 0besiance to
 Him.

Washington, Nov. 6.-(SpeciaL) )-There is a curious state of feeling in, Republi- can circles in Washington in conseauence of the elections of Tuesday. Apprehen- sion of defeat with Roosevelt as the par tvs standard-bearer next year is unlnis- takable, and will be found general. The leaders are growing more cautious, but the rank and file speak out That there is danger of disaster with Roosevelt left to take the nomination next year There Is hope among them that Hanna Will yield to the importunities of his friends.
 Should the Ohio senator ob&drateiY SUCK 10 hls ground. being known to be lacking confidence in his own capacity for physical endurance of a presidential campaign. 1t is believed here there will be cry of distress within the Republi- can party itself. Anything to beat Roosevelt for the nomination.
 If at the last moment they can't get Hanna, they will take Fairbanks In any event the situation is one which the Dem ocrats are looking to with complacency and assurance of no ill-wind for their own party next year. whatever the Re publicans may conclude to do.
 It is said that Hanna's plan in the event he should finally decide that he can not risk the race. will be to take in hand the darkeniRg destiny of Theodore Roosevelt and attempt to save him at the price of the Presidents independnce and manhood. Roosevelt has already and re- gently made much obeisance to Hanna begging him to remain as chairman of the Republican National Executive Com mittee. but Mir. Roosevelts friends think that he has gone too far, and that he is not unlikely to subject himself to humili- alton. Undoubtedly, Hanna is the master of hour among Republicans Watkins.
