chiefly in the art o. concealing true
policies and purposes. There can b.
no question but what Russia for many
years has contemplated the ultimate
control OF China. and has moved
steadily forward for the accomplish

If all reports that come from Old

mermaids sport in summer, clad in
bathing costumes of white silk, are
true. the seaside community will ex-
perience great boom this year.

forecast the season of 1904 as the
weather is at present not favorable for

hotels will probably be erected at the
beach between now and the opening of

the business district Of the town and
several cottages will probably be built
between now an another June. If all

that at every hotel improvements are

weeks, and are especially bitter to-
wards the latter.

MURDERER
Of Miss SchaeHer Not
Yet Found.

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 27-The report
that the murderer of Sarah Schaeffer
is under arrest at Louisville is dis
credited here. Every effort will be
made, however, to establish his guilt
or innocence through all the assist
ance within the power of the local Of
f1cials.
Tonight two Chicago detectives ar
rived, e. S. Reed, and C. j. Smith,
who began work at once on the case.
The belief is again strengthening that
the murderer is local resident and it
is strongly intimated by members of
the special board of inquiry that his
identity will very shortly become
known.
Fifteen negroes were examined to-
night without result.

GOOD ROAD LAW
What the Wertz Bill Pro.
videS for.

Representative Wertz has introduc-
ed a measure in the legislature that
is known as house bill No. 20 to create
in the department of agriculture a di-
vision to be known as the division Of
public roads, and to provide for a sys-
tenn of state, county and township
cooperation in the permanent i'm
provement of the public highways.
The author of the bill sends out the
following statement with reference
to it's provisions:
The bill does not provide for an
experiment. 1t substantially follows
the "State Aid" road laws of New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
where it has been a great success.
1t benefits farmers, manufacturers,
business men, and every class in the
state of Ohio.
1t provides that in roadways con-
structed of macadam, telford, gravel,
or other suitable material, the state
shall pay one-half the cost, the county
one-fourth. the township in which the
road is constructed one-fourth.
1t provides that the state makes
the plans for the improvement and
has the construction made under the
supervision of the county engineer,
by selling the work to the lowest bid
der, or by permitting the county or
township to take the contract.
Material available and close at
hand is considered first.
The state by this bill gives each
county 100000 for 1905 on condi-
tion that the county raises a similar
amount. 1t is not compulsory for
any county to accept this amount The
100000 appropriated by the state
works no hardship on the land own
ers or taxpayers of any county, as this
money is not raised by tax on real
estate or on personal property, mas
much as the state raises this money
by taxes on corporations, excise taxes,
etc. 1t works no injustice to the peo-
pie In those counties where perma-
nent highways have been constructed,
as this appropriation is available for
rebuilding, reconstructing, ETC., of
such roads. 1t creates a state engi-
neer, whose business will be to pro-
mote and look after the construction
of roads in Ohio. 1t is the intention
of the bill to create the machinery
necessary to build good roads, get the
plans made SO that actual construc-
tion can begin in 1905. 1t is believed
that the wisdom of this measure will
be made so manifest by the time the
next session of the legislature con-
venes that provision will be made for
continuing the good work until from
this small beginning there shall grow
year after year permanent road sys-
TEN until every road in Ohio is good
for travel twelve months in the year;
and instead Of having roads that are a
disgrace to our civilization, it will
place Ohio in the first rank of states
with permanent roadways.

To CIRCUIT COURT
The Case of John Skeels Against the
City Of Canton Has Been Taken
Up.

John Skeels, contractor, has appeal
ed his case against the city to the cir
cult court. He had been made an al
lowance by the council of S2,146 for
extra work upon the Graham avenue
sewer, made necessary by a food of
water due, it was claimed, to the city,
which caused cave in. One man
was killed and another injured and
Skeels settled all damages and kept
the city free from liability. The orig
inal claim was for a larger amount,
but the council cut it down before
allowing it.
City Solicitor Hughes enjoined the
payment and the court made the in
junction perpetual. The appeal was
made by Attorneys McCarty & Pom
thus
