Those who looked so confidently fol
the speedy completion of the Panama
canal when Uncle Sam saw fit to take
over that stupendous undertaking, are
beginning to have doubts concerning the
practicability Of the building of thai
waterway across the isthmus. as the closer
our Government engineers study the
problem the more difficult it seems to
become. The latest information giver
out is that four different plans are under
consideration, varying from a sea leve
canal to one with locks at go feet. The
eo-foot level canal would cost $500, 900,
900 and take about ten years to complete
the 6o.foot level canal would cost $225,
600, 900, and could be opened for traffic
in ten years and completed in twelve; the
3o-foot level canal, which would cos
$3.50, 900, 900, could be open for traffic il
twelve years and completed in fifteen
while the sea-level canal would cos
$500, DOC, 900, could be opened for traffic
in fifteen years, but would take twenty t.
complete.

There seems to be screw loose in our
road law some place which fails utterly to
provide for such emergencies as have
arisen this winter with the heavy SHOWS
that have visited this section, and which
will permit road to remain closed for
weeks without an effort being made to
open it. Other States compel the super
visors to open their roads and make pro-
vision for paying for the work, but in
Cecil county the law tends to prevent it,
as bills presented for shoveling snow are
not recognized as such. Cecil's road law
after years of tinkering and changing falls
far short of accomplishing the practical
results it should either in the way OF
building or maintaining our roads.

The organization of the Delaware Sen
ate having been effected by the surrender
of three Regular republicans to the Union
republicans, the chief interest of politics
in the State now centers on the senatorial
contest. Both houses of the Legislature
will vote separately for Senator on Tues
day, Feb. 7, the joint session beginning
on the following day.
]. Edward Addicks will be the choice
OF the 20 Union republicans. The q
democrats will likely nominate theil
State Chairman, Willard Salisbury, while
the nine Regulars will support Col. Henry
A. du Pont. This will be the condition
of things at the start, with subsequent
events likely to change the program. 4
is declared that of the ~ Union republi
can Legislators II of them will nevel
desert Addicks. If this shall hold goot
it will again be Addicks or nobody fo
Senator, with the chances in favor o
nobody.

Notwithstanding the adverse conditions

The Institutes have always found favor

rested and brought to the jail
at Minot, and the injured man is
taking treatment at the hospi-
tai. The doctors fear his arm
will have to be taken off.
The source of the trouble dates
back quitea while. Young Lend
blom boarded at the home OF
Chas. Thompson a farmer living
Mckinney. Thompson's wife is
26 years old and very handsome.
She has two children, a little girl
OF four years old and a son of
seven. Not long after Lendblom
started boarding at Thompson's
it became the general report
that Mrs. Thompson was infatu-
ated with the young postmaster.
She told the young mans sister
that she loved Lendblom. The
father advised the son to quit
boarding there which he did.
Thompson urged him to go
back and as he could save a dol
lar a week by boarding at the
Thompson home, he did return.
Since the Fourth of July Thomp-
son has been away from home
farming his claim on the prairie.
His wife refused to go with her
husband, preferring to live at
Mckinney.

young Richardson saw Lendblom
and asked him not to 90 to the
Thompson home any more; Lend
blom promised the..lad he would
not, and signed a paper to that
effect. FRIDAY night Lendblom

fore they had retired,a shot was
fired outside the house. Lend
blom told Mrs. Thompson thatit

if he did they would be afraid.
They did not go tn sleep until 2
o'clock Saturday morning and
all slept on the carpet.

READY FOR THE RACES.

The management Of the Fair

the announcement that every
thing is in readiness for the
great event. The last touches
have been put on the ..ace course,
which is pronounced by expert
horsemen to be in perfect condi-
ton. Secretary Champine sta ties
that the entry list is swelling at
a lively rate, several new horses
from Minnesota and Iowa points
having arrived during the first
days of the week. Entries for
the harness races have closed,
but are still open for the trot-
ting and running races, and will
so remain until the Dist. From
the tone OF the county press, as
we'll as many outside papers, it
is now an assured fact that the
attendance will be far in excess
Of meetings Of the past. Special
pains have been taken by the
management to see that hotel
accommodations be given to the
visiting public. A letter from
Prof. Stoddard brings the pleas
ing information that he will be
here, balloon and all, and will
make his first appearance among
the clouds next Tuesday even
ing from the grounds. The
ascension will occur in ample
time for those visiting from the
country to witness the enter
tainment and get to their homes
before dark. The INDEPENDENT
hopes that everyone will come
and have one Of the most enjoy
able times of their lives.
