Progress of state Roads.

The Denver Republican OF October
22nd says:
State Engineer Carpenter is planning
to have the first surveys on all of the
state roads authorized by the Legisla-
ture completed before winter. One
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
is available for the construction of
state roads and bridges. and the work
is being carried on as rapidly as the
force in the State Engineers office can
do It,
There are now under construction
some twenty roads in the state. Some
of them will cost as high as $4,000 per
mile in the mountain districts where
great deal of the work has to be done
in solid rock.
A contract was let yesterday for
$4,000 to the Conejos Oil Company for
the sinking OF an artesian well at Man
assa, Conejos county. Bids had been
advertised for and they were opened
yesterday. The well Is to be sunk 500
feet. 1t is not expected that the water
will flow from the well but 1t can be
brought within a few feet OF the sur
face. meeting OF the Las Animas
catRffIesian well was sesa.. 49,. ee.-or =,
the fact that the representative from
the county was not present the bids
were not opened.
The board of construction OF the Rio
Grande and Conejos county road met
and bids were asked for a portion Of
the road above Jasper. This road has
been repaired below Jasper, but bids
are to be asked for on the new road.
The board Of construction of the Co.'S
tilla county bridge over the Rio Grande
river will ask for bids. The bridge is
to be six miles east OF Monte Vista and
is to be 210 feet long and will % built
either in two or three spaus.
The surveys of the La Plata county
road has been completed, and the sur
vey on the Dolores county road has
been completed but not accepted, while
the Telluride road will be taken up
very soon. Other roads in the state are
being made rapidly and all OF them
will be well under way next spring.
The surveys will be completed this
year so that work can begin immedi-
ately after the SHOWS clear away in the
spring.

The Denever Chamber of Commerce
was informed by letter which arrived
recently that there has been estab-
lished a museum of foreign products
by the Chamber of Commerce OF Jas
sy. Roumania. Its officers request the
Denver and Colorado business men to
send specimens of their products for
exhibition in this museum, promising
as result that European patronage
may be expected by the exhibitors for
such articles as are desired in Rou-
mania especially.
State Game Commissioner ]. NJ.
Woodward has established a small
park near the Denver fish halchery for
the purpose OF receiving young deer,
elk and antelope, which will be taken
from persons who have no right to
their possession. At present there are
two deer in the park. and it is expect
ed that there will be about dozen of
them in the park before all the game
law violators have been rounded up.
Certain persons in the state manage
in some way each year to get possess
sion of young deer and try to keep
them for the purpose of tanning them.
This is strictly against the law. and
Mr.. Woodward, through his game war
dens, gathers these animals in and will
place them in this park near the fish
hatchery.
Colorado will likely have state
building at the St. Louis worlds fair
after all, says the Denver News. Now
that the board has the promise of all
the money they need up to nearly $685.
900, they believe that they can easily
put up building that will not only
thoroughly advertise the state, but will
be an added attraction to the exhibit as
well. The new plan proposed Is to
erect an adobe building after the style
of the old Spanish mansions. 1t will
only be one story high, but 1t will have
nearly dozen rooms, with a large in
side court that can be used as a recep-
tion room. Such a building as this can
be easily erected for SIS, ,0OO 1t is said,
and the members of the board believe 1t
would be one of the most attractive
state buildings at the fair. At a recent
meeting the board took decisive action
on the plan for building wheat" pa
vilion in the space allotted the state in
the agricultural building and work will
be started on It at once.

GODS ARM IS NOT SHORTENED"
Gods Asylum for the Sick as Well as
the SHINING.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
l have been reading the many eloquent
and beautiful passages in the sermon by the
Rev. j. Cumming Smith, entitled Sorrows
Asylum" in your issue Of June /. Ii con-
tains many lofty spiritual truths presented
in brilliant and charming rhetoric, but it
derides the faith of those who depend upon
the power and loving kindness of God TO
aid the sick as we'll as the SHINING and sor-
rowing. If. from the limitations of creed,
or from any other cause a persuasive pull
pit orator expressly limits the power and
loving kindness of God in His dealings with
man every thinking person is at once con-
fronted with the very vital question, is the
preachers limitation sanctioned by logic
and Scripture? If il be not so sanctioned
a great harm has been done to the cause OF
religion. and the sooner the error is pointed
out the better.
Let us see If the preachers own thought
is consistent with the limitations he
breaches. In a most beautiful passage he
illustrates the truth that God is a sure ref
uge for the sorrowing. and that faith in
God Is the only wisdom in sorrow, as fol-
lows:

craving and Printing are at work on il
The same portrait OF Washington will be
retained, but the lipes will be coarser. This
is made necessary by the use of red ink
the color determined upon by the Universal
Postal Union for all issues of the denom-
ination of ten centimes or its equivalent
Any other color would be preferable for
such work as is done on our two-cent

But the chuckling expression given to the
dgnified lineaments of the Father of his
Country is not the only feature of the

of this artistic mishap The postal au-
thorities have concluded that the inscrip-
tions are too indistinct: So while the same
legends will be retained. they will be re-
arranged with view TO making them more
easily readable. The head OF Washington
will no longer occupy an oval frame but
one arched above. but fairly straight under

tered tn sundry ways.

REMOVAL OF RECEIVER
MRS. BATEs's SUIT DIRECTED
AGAINST OLD MIDLAND.
Charges Made In Connection with the
sale Of the Road-Other Cases I'm
the Local Courts.

A cross bill OF complaint directed against
the Central Trust Company, Of New YORK;
tn Chicago & Southeastern Railway Com
ptry John T Dye, receiver for the road.
HenIy Crawford, former president of the
rail-oai. Melville E ingalls, and the Cen
trail l.sosana Railway Company, was filed IN
the Federal Court yesterday by Etholinda
Bates Last March the Hamilton Circuit
Court awarded her judgment Of $3.50 for
personal injuries in a suit against the Chi
cago & Southeastern, occasioned by the
breaking OF the railway platform at Joliet,
Ind The bill sets forth that this claim
has not been paid.
The bill claims that Crawford. the former
president OF the road. was the owner Of
DIR IcticaIly all the stock and that certain
shares were issude by him to persons that
they might be eligible as directors. 1t
further alleges that Crawford has received
and appropriated to his own use more than
100000 arising from traffic and other
sources for which he has wholly failed to
account either to the company the court
or the receiver.
After detailing the negotiations relating
Company between Harry Crawford, Jonn
y. Dye, the receiver, and the Big Four
Company, she demands that all business
relating to the road be exposed. Continuing,
the bill states: 1T was fraudulently agreed
that proceedings should be instituted In this
court IN the name Of the trustee against
the Chicago * southeastern TO foreclose
the mortgage and to have Dye appointed
receiver, and, though not more than $4,000
had ever been advanced on any OF the
bonds, IL was arranged that In the action TO
foreclose IL should be charged that there
was due on the bonds more than $3,OOO,OvO,
20 as to make II appear tina the road was
tnsolvent, and show good cause why a re-
ceiver should be appointed"
II also further AYERS that Receiver Dye
has failed to perform his duty; that he be
ordered TO produce all books and papers In
the case in court and show cause why ne
should not be removed as receiver; that on
his failure TO do SO. a receiver be appointed
by this court.
