SAVE THE GRAVEL.

Not a few level headed citizens have
watched the progress of the street
paving going on in Bellefontaine and
commented on several features of the
work The specifications call for the
removal of the gravel to the depth of
q foot or 90 and the substituting of
crushed stone and sand to a depth
sufficient to raise the paving brick
to the proper grade. Now this is no
doubt the correct way to construct
brick streets but where there is such
excellent gravel as Bellefontaine has
for years placed upon her streets why
is 1t necessary TO remove this solidly
packed bed and put crushed stone in
its placef When West ChiIlieothe ave-
nre was paved only enough of the
gravel was removed TO allow a layer
Of sand to be placed under the bricks
The street was then gone over with
the heavy steam roller and the bricks
laid Ii can plainly De seen that there
is no better section IF paving in the
city than on West Chlllieothe avenue
and there is a difference of several
dollars per front foot in the est of
thie paving and that which is now
going On in several parts of the city.
Residents on thoroughfares yet to be
paved may save money by profting by
this suggestion

this to themselves. Their WORK is Ia

Mr.. Cobb Chosen
Governor.
DEMOCRATS
Made Gains in Both
Houses.
A Big Vote POlled but PIur.

in 1900.

Portland, Me-, Sept 13.-Returns
for governor in the state election from
800 out of 522 cities, towns and plan
tations give Cobb (rep) 59.705; Davis
(dem.) 3S,399. The same places in
1900 gave Hill (rep) 51,705; Lord
(dem.) 29,302.
These returns show a republican
gain over 1900 of 15 per cent and
democratic gain of 81 per cent, on
which basis the republican plurality
for governor is estimated at about 3D.
900. In 1900 it was SO, 1884. .
Both candidates for governor were
successful in their own cities, Mr..
Cobb carrying Rockland by 367 and
Mayor Cyrus W. Davis, the demo-
cratic candidate, winning his own city
by 3S votes Lewiston also went for
Davis by SIC, which was the largest
single gain made by the democrats in
the early returns
In the First and Second congress
sional districts the returns indicate
the election of Amos L. Allen and
Charles E Littlefield by about the
same plurality as four years ago. In
the Third district E. c. Burleigh ran
ahead of his vote of four years ago
At a late hour last night very few
reports had been received from the
Fourth district, where the reelection
of Llewellyn Powers is conceded
Early returns show that the demo
Gratis have probably made slight gains
| in both branches of the legislature
but that body will remain strongly re
publican and will probably re-elect
United States Senator Eugene Hale.
The vote was the heaviest cas-
since 1888.
The election took place under con

polls.
While the various county contest
were bitter and hard fought, genera
interest was fixed on the probable
plurality for Mr.. Cobb, the republican
candidate, the democrats aiming t
reduce it below the $4,000 of 1900 an

There are some people who can lose fat

of the accepted evidences of failing health.
As flesh making processes begin in the
stomach, so naturally when there is loss OF
flesh we look first to the stomach for the

to be disease of the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts, resulting in loss of nu-
triton and consequent physical weakness

At the meeting of the City Council
Tuesday night member Chas- W. Bu-
chanan, of the B. of P. S, inquired of
Solicitor Riddle if city Improvements
and repairs, found to be absolutely
necessary, could not be made whether
or not the city had money with which
to pay for the work at the time the
same was done. Mr.. Riddle Informed
him that in cases of absolute neces-
sity" Improvements and repairs could
be made with the understanding that
the work be paid for as soon as the
city had funds to pay for the same.
This leaves the question of ''absolute
necessity the paramount one. Now
who is to decide whether or not such
and such an improvement is absolutely
necessary.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 14.-Five
bandits perpetrated successful hold
up of a passenger train on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway,
near Let's, Ia, early Tuesday morn
ing. The statements of expressmen
are that the robbers secured no
money, though the safe was blown
open and the contents taken. The Of
ficers say that the safe contained mer-
chandise of some value. company pa
pers in transit, etc, but no money.
Three special trains, on which are
posses of railroad and express en-
ployes and a number of officers, were
rushed to the scene of the robbery
upon receipt of the news, the trains
going from Muscatine, West Liberty
and Davenport. Horses were procur-
| ed at Columbus Junction, near which
point the robbers left the railroad
Mounted men with bloodhounds are
now securing the country for miles in
every direction in an effort to appre-
hend the robbers.
The officials seem to be of the opin-
| ion that the robbers, when they left
| the engine two miles east of Columbus
Junction, instead of going into that
place, where the robbery had already
| been reported by wire from Fruitland
| started off to the east into the marsh
country lying between the Iowa ant
the Mississippi rivers, where the lows
forms a delta and where the country
is overgrown by stunted timber.

der cover for the time being, the of
ficers making the search have arrang
