Dnr 90 Nation. PROGRESS.

Considering the country as 4 whole
our roads are disgracefully and de
plorably bad. They are bar to the
financial, social, educational and re-
ligious progress of the agricultural
classes which they affect directly and
4 source of loss to every other class
which they affect indirectly. The first
great step toward the correct solution
of the road problem IS recognition
OF the fact that road Improvement is
not wholly local question. The rural
population has n larger interest in good
roads than any other class, and it will
doubtless always be found willing to
pay the lnrCer part of the expense.
But the condition of the roads affects
the prosperity of the whole community.
1t is therefore Il proper subject for
state and national Iegislation.-Co Con-
gressman i5rown!ow in Golfers.

Carr was the engineer of engine No.
403, freight train No. 80, eastbound. The
heavy freight train was what is known
as a double header" being pulled by
two engines. Cars engine was behind
the other. A defective switch was the
cause of the wreck. The first engine
took the switch properly, but Cars en-
CINE was derailed and overturned. The
big locomotive turned over twice in its
descent of a 20-foot embankment and
landed on its back in a small ravine.
The overturning of the second engine
caused the derailment of the first, but
it was not damaged and it's crew was
not injured. Fireman Fisher as well as
the fireman and engineer of the first
engine, went to the assistance of the
engineer who was CAUGHT in the wreck.

Rockefeller Said to Have De-

A New York special by G. S. Beachel
TO the Chicago Post says:
Railroad loans furnished the prin-
cipal subject of discussion in Wall
street today. Still specializing on the
purpose to which the Pennsylvania will
put the $4,000, 900 it borrowed last
week. a conclusion has been reached
in at least one intelligent quarter that
a large part of the money may go to
take up Atchison stocks. which for
months have been well bought by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. It is this firm which
foated the Pennsylvania loan
The story that the Pennsylvania will
acquire the Atchison is an old one, but
far less unreasonable than the average
person regards it. In fact, the asser-
ton that the deal will take place is
backed up by the strongest circum-
stantial evidence Here is an actual
fact that has never been published:
Two years ago last June a certain
expert was commissioned by the Penn
sylvania to go down to Mexico and
locate a large area of coal lands within
work was done, all the expenses being
betrayed by the Pennsylvania. The
location was made with a view to con-
venient connection with the Atchison
It is confidently expected by some OF
the best railroad men in the country
that the Pennsylvania will take over
the Atchison. In connection with the
AtchisOn it IS declared that John D
Rockefeller recently deposited TO- 00(
shares of Atchison stock with thai
firm.

THE Japanese squadron could not

Chefoo, Feb. 15.-The steamer Wen

ports that IL Russian ships were struck
in Wednesdays engagement. 1t is
stated that the cruiser Askold with a
big hole at the water line, has been
towed into the inner basin and beached.
The battleship SevastopoI has a shell
hole just above the water line and is
useless in rough weather. The cruiser
Novik has a hole in her after port side.
The battleship Retvizan is on the beach
and her bottom has fallen out. The
cruiser Pallada was torpedoed abaft
the engine room. The battleship Care
witch which was also torpeGoed has
been locked. The others We're chiefly
damaged in their upper works. The
whole fleet has been taken into the in
ner harbor and Port Arthur is depend
ing for protection on her forts which
have been reinforced. There is fire.
Quent firing which is presumably drawn
by Japanese torpedo boats. Firing
was heard at midnight February II at
intervals, also on the night of the 18th
and 18th On February IA, the firing
continued until o'clock in the after
noon. An eye witness claims to have
seen Is dead landed from the Russian
ships Wednesday. 1t is understood that
Admiral Stark has been reduced for his
| failure to repulSe the Japanese attack
The cruiser Novik was the only vessel
| to do effective work. She gave chase
to the Japanese torpedo boats and ac-
cording to the Russian account sank
two and captured one.
| The Wenchow had 400 Japanese
refugees on board and there was an ex-
citing time during the battle of We'd
nesday as shells fell all around the
Wenchow After several orders were
given her to leave port and as often
revoked she was allowed to Sail Feb
ruary a. The Russian authorities sup
piled her Japanese passengers with rice
but paid no attention to signal for a
fresh supply of water. 1t is stated that
the European residents of Port Arthur
have been treasured, but that the Chi
nese are making efforts to get away.
Reports of Russian victories are, it Is
said, being circulated to buoy up the
hopes of the residents. 1t is apparent
that the Russians have for the present

depend on the land forces. Eleven
ships will, it is stated, have to be re-
paired before she can take the agsres-
sive on sea.

Kills Inside Germs.

The reason for that price is this:
Liquozone alone can kill germs in the
body without killing the tissues too.
Nothing else in the world is SO good for
the human body; yet Liquoozne is a
germicide so certain that we publish on
every bottle an offer of 81, 900 for a germ
that it cannot kill
Liquozone destroys at once and for
ever the cause of any germ disease.
And there is no other way to do it.
Any drug that kills germs is a poison,
and it cannot be taken internally.
Medicine is helpless in troubles of this
kind.

DOESN'T GET A CENT.
How the County Rents the Old
Court House.

Shawnee county has not received the
rent from the old court house for three
years although the building has been
in use by various bodies continuously
during that time.
The board of county commissioners
rented the building to the Republican
Flambeau club several years ago. The
club has sublet the different rooms in
the building to the two Topeka militia
companies, the Republican county CEN
trail committee, for caucuses and con-
ventions and to private parties but the
county has received nothing.
The building is worth a good deal
more than $3.50 rent year and the
commissioners will probably take action
at once to have the county receive reve-
nue. from the building. Last summer
the commissioners decided that the
county should receive rent and that the
renters were too SLOW Oscar SwayZe,
secretary and treasurer of the F'lam-
beau club, appeared before the commits
sioners and asked that the F1ambeau
club be given more time in which to
pay the rent due. Six months or more
have elapsed and nothing has been paid.
1t might be inquired where the money
goes that is paid by those who rent the
rooms.
The old court house and the three
lots, at the corner of Fourth and Kan
sas avenue, have been appraised al
S., 500. The commissioners wish to sell
the property for that price. The COM
missioners have received offers for the
property of part of the price in cash
and part on time, but Judge Hazen has
advised the commissioners that the
property must be sold for cash and not
on time.
If the commissioners can sell the
property the money will be used to take
up some outstanding bonds. If the
property cannot be sold soon the COM
missioners will make some arrange
ments whereby the building can be
rented for cash in order that the county
may receive some revenue from the
building. Battery B and Company NJ
have occupied the rooms on the second
floor of the building as an armory fol-
several years. The state makes an an
nual appropriation to pay the rent OF
these quarters but the county has not
received any of it.

YOUNG COUPLE ELOPED.
Run Away from Missouri to Atohison
to Got Married.

Atchison- Feb. 15.-Lena May Mont
gomery. a school girl of Andrew coun-
ty, Mo-, elcped to Atchison, with Otto
Kerns, of Fillmore, Mo-, and were mar
ried by the Rev. Ely, pastor of the
Christian church, at o'clock. The
bride is II and the groom 20, and their
marriage followed an exciting flight.
Their parents are prominent and
wealthy farmers, and their only objec-
ton to the marriage was the age of
the young folks. A marriage license
was procured by Kerns at Troy Janu-
airy 4, over a month ago, but no oppor-
tunity to make use of it presented itself
until the plan which consummated in
their elopment was made. Miss Mont
gomery was attending Spring Hollow
school, near Easton, and left home with
her books and dinner basket as usual
yesterday. morning. At noon she OBJ
tanned permission from her teacher to
go home, on the pretext that she was
youthful lover. who was waiting not
far away with a rubber tired buggy.
They drove rapidly to EaSton, and
boared a train for st. Joe.
An uncle of the bride took the same
train, catching it as 1t was about to
pull out. The young couple imagined
themselves pursued, and separated, the
bride being turned over to J. M.
Holmes, a friend of the groom, who was
also on the train. Kerns hid out, and
the bride kept out of the uncle's sight.
The uncle was seen leaving the train
at ST. Joe, and 1t was supposed he was
going for an officer. The couple, &C
companied by Holmes, came on to
Atchison The indications are that the
uncle was merely making a business
trip to ST. Joe, and knew nothing of
their presence on the train, or inten-
ton to elope. They had their wedding
supper at The Byram, and went to st.
Joe in the evening.
