Thing is Proposed as Pavement for
Jackson,
The grading of Jackson street will
make it one of the handsomest thor
o1ghfares IN Americus; smooth, even
and rock balasted from end to end of
the street. Of course the sidewalks
are to be paved the entire length, and
just now the subject of material to be
used is one of interest. Among Amer
icus' ''infant industries" is tile fac
tory where the very best quality of
thing, both white and black, is made.
On many portions Of Lee street these
hexagon blocks are now laid, making
a very handsome and substantial walk
more durable than brick and far pre-
ferabie. 1t has been suggested that
property owners on Jackson-all OF
them-use thing as material for paw
ing. It certainly would make Jackson
street the handsomest in the city, if
both sides were thus paved the entire
length. This thing, made right here
can be purchased and laid at 10 cents
per tquaIe foot, q remarkably low
price. Let property owners discuss
the subject among themselves to the
end of adopting this material fol
paving.

CHARGES IN wEsTBRook CASE

tee at LAST.

Americus people interested IN the
recent Broughton-Wes tbrook vaude
vile at Albany may now look for de-
velopments, since the charges preferred
by the pulpiteer have been formally
fled with the police commission, The
official charges have been in incubation
for several weeks, in fact, ever since
DR.. Broughton made his sensational
statement from the pulpit. He wrs re.
lieved of the necessity of personally
pressing the charge by committee of
twenty-four prominent citizens, who
voluntarily assumed responsibility in
the affair. The friends of Chief West
brook have for ten days past been con-
fidently asserting that the charges
would not come TO head, that they
were based on hot air, and that the
effort TO secure tangible evidence had
ignominiously failed. There was, there.
fore, not little surprise in Albany
when it was currently reported yester-
day that the charges had at last been
presented in legal form.

Firemen Have a Sprint With Nothing
Doing.
The ennui prevailing about fire de-
partment headquarters was broken
yesterday by telephone alarm from
Spring street, near Magnolia Dell. A
small shanty caught fire but was quick
~ extinguished. The fire department
is still playing in its usual run of luck.
The alarm yesterday was the thirty
fifth for the year, since January LIST,
and yet the entire property loss within
that period will not reach ST.. 200. And
this sum is applied principally to the
burning of the Allen dwelling, on Dod-
son street, month ago. This house,
small frame structure, was fired by
an incendiary, and was nearly consum-
ed before an alarm was given. Last
year the total fire loss in Americus was
less than 5000 remarkable record

golden west. Recently an agent of
the Frisco Railway has been in Ameri-

that system and upon seemingly ia
vorable terms. Twenty lots have
been sold here at $25 each, and the
''club" of buyers has elected Col.
Robert Lee to go to Oklahoma, look
at the lots purchased and report back
to the club. Col Lee, it is said, goes
at the expense of the Frisco people,
and if the purchase is not satisfactory
all money is to be refunded. The lots
thus sold to Americus people are %
by 40 feet, and located in growing
new towns. Americus lot buyers feel
fortunes in their grasp already.

Under the caption, "The Union Pa
cifc Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair. folder is
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
while the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and
triumphs, are part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton of the region was estimated at
10000. UP to the inception Of the
Union Pacific Tin 1860) it had in
creased to 3,2S3,529. In 1900 it num-
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with its stu
pendous increase in all the many.sided
phases Of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa
cific-as a glance at the map will
show-has had a conspicuous share.
1t has opened vast regions Of fertile
country to settlers, and brought great
areas of an unknown and unproduc
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham,
lets, through it's efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
1t may be of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturing
plants, and the value of their outputs,
combined with that of the national
products as reported in the census of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $3,506, 100000
annually, or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
Q900) also show the total population
to be 13,343,255, OF which 8,303,09o in
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa
cific. On the 1900 census figures, 1t is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated at
about $13,051 ,S68,359, of which $780,
621,387 Is represented in the states
reached by this great railroad"

Dowry of a Bride.

A marriage recently celebrated at
Partick, Glasgow, has curious story
attached to it. The brides father
and mother, who had been abstainers
for over twenty years, gave as mar
riage dowry to their daughter the
sum of 9120. Every week since they
became total abstainers the amount
formerly spent in alcoholic liquor was
banked for the little one who caused
her parents to take the pledge. The
little girl had seen her father slightly
inebriated and reproved him for it
the next day. The parents have es-
chewed drink ever since, with the
above result.

TOOK THE JUDGE SERIOUSLY.
Incident Probably Cured Jurist Of the
Use Of Sarcasm.

Lord Bowen. an English Judge of
renown, was trying case of burglary
with Welsh jury. and it was argued
for the defense that the prisoner was
in the habit of walking on the house
tops at midnight and had merely
taken off his boots and dropped into
the house out of curiosity. In sum
ming up Bowen said to the jury: ''lf
you believe that the prisoner consid-
ers the housetops the proper place for
an evening Stroll, that the desire to
inspect the inside of the houses was
but natural and excusable curiosity,
you will acquit him and will approve
his conduct in showing so much con-
sideration as to take off his boots for
fear of disturbing the sleepers." The
irony was lost on the jury; they took
him seriously and acquitted the pris-
oner.

Sydney Smiths love of animals led
him into ludicrous mistakes at times.
as when, having given his pigs fer

drunk and "grunting God Save the

allowed one of his quadrupeds to swal-
low mighty dose of pills, boxes and

good idea. He had theory that every
animal delights to stretch its back
bone, SO he put up his universal
scratcher," a sharp-edged pole. rest
ing on high and low post. adapted
to every height, from "a horse to a
lamb" Before, all the gates used to
be broken; after the erection of the
scratcher he never sustained any dam

was the more pleased with the inves-
tion, he or the animals as they it'll

Korean Widows Never Remarry.

Good society in Korea has many
curious customs. One of these is that
widows must not remarry. No widow
in the really smart set" would ever
dream of remarrying, however young
she may be or however soon the death
of her husband may have followed
her wedding. Married life is By no
means an unmixed blessing to the
woman. so perhaps perpetual widow
hood might not be Objectionable If it
were not for the necessity of perpetu-
ally wearing mourning for the depart

of her life she is limited to blue, black
