Of the cost Of draining, the build

other things which make the es-
Inmates of the highway division
for permanent Improvement look
disproportionately high until care
full comparisons are made; and
fourth, the total lack of apprecia-
ton of the saving to the commit
nifty and to the individual of good
roads over poor ones. The roads
on which aid was applied for the
year were naturally the more i'm
portant roads in each county, or
those most needing repairs of ma
tnre beyond the means of the
county alone. For instance, one
county applied for aid on a road
which, from the breaking of an
old canal bank, had become for a
quarter ola mile the bed ola brook.
The county had tried for several
years to maintain a road at this
point. One was necessary for pub
lie convenieuces, and a swamp on
either side prevented any reloca-
ton. The only thing to be done
was to go into a neighboring rise
in the road, secure material and
raise the bed of the old road above
water level at high water by a fill
ofabout five feet for the distance
mentioned, A new bridge had
to be constructed as well, and so
the estimate for permanently i'm
proving this mile of road seemed
higher than the county thought
it could afford. At least, it decid
ed not to go ahead with the con-
templated improvement. Even
tually this work will have to be
done, however. Until it is done
the public must put up with the
present conditions, in all probabil-
ity at far greater cost than the
investment in the Improvement
would call for. Both individuals
and communities lose sight of the
aggregate of sums spent on CON
tinual repairs or ineffective at
tempts to remedy present poor
conditions. 1t seems that the sum
lost, which are due to impossible
roads at certain seasons or only
partly passable conditions most of
the time, are much like indirect
taxes, which are not realized by
the bulk ofany community.
Public sentiment for good roads
is on the increase in Maryland the
main criticism of the work thus
far seems to be due to the regret
that more has not been accomplish
ed in the actual construction of
modern roads. SO far as it has
been possible to determine the
finished work is most pleasing to
the travelling public, and the i'm
provement in every case over the
previous conditions most notice
able.
Preparations arc now being made
for the work Of 1906 with the idea
of thus being able to begin actual
construction at a much earlier date
and to secure far larger mileage
of improved work. Il is believed
that the applications for aid by the
various counties will next year be
greatly in excess of these of 1905.

Superior, Minns July 13.--Judge
Sanborn, in the federal court today,
directed verdict for the defendant
in the case of the Knudson- Ferguson
Fruit company of Duluth, against the

Omaha railroad
The suit was one whereby the plain
tiffs sought to recover S45 for icing
charges paid on a car of peaches ship
ped from South Haven, Mich, 10 Dur
iuth in September. 1908. They CON
tended that no mention was made in
the railroad company's freight tariffs
for extra service other than the regll-
lar freight rate and that they SHOULD
not be obliged to bear the burden of
any extra expense while caring for
the shipment en- route
Judge Sanborn said; "rhe S45 was
paid without objection after the car
Of peaches had been delivered and 1t
was eighteen months afterwards be-
fore action for recovery of the money
was commenced and further 1t must
have been known that tile money
would not be retained BY the Omaha
company, but wcsld be turned over to
the refrigerator people. BY agreeing
to the s45 with such knowledge, the
plaintiff acquiesced In the manner of
doing business through the Armour

CHANGE IN JAPANESE LANGUAGE

The progressive spirit Of the Japa.
nesa Is about 10 show itself In new
direction, though success nthe deyel
opment Of the idea may not be imme-
diately accomplished. A government
commission has been appointed to
make q report on the advisibility of
adopting Roman characters in the
written languagt of Japan, and a
prominent member Of the commission
has arrived In the United States Tia
pursue inquiries along the lines OF the
proposed change.
The Japanese language has many
features that are puzzling to all except
special students, and now that the
Kingdom Is taking its place among the
foremost nations Of the world In the
various arts of war and peace an i'm.
provement In this matter is felt to be
most essential In connection with the
advances being made IN other direc-
tions. Chinese characters and idao
graphs have been used ever since the
introduction Of writing in Japan, and
these have been frequently modified
and adapted to local conditions SO
that even the Chinese DO not recog-
nize them. Increasing intimacy with
the outside world calls for change,
and II is interesting to note that "the
little brown people" are as eager to
advance In civilization as TO win In
war--Spokane Spokesman.

OWNED IN CAIRO
Is the Hat "BiIl" Rudolph Wore
While He Stood on ScaffOId
BLACK SLOUGH HAT WAS BOUGHT
FOR THE OCCASION AT WEIR
NER's ST. LOUIS STORE.

The hat Of fBill' Rudolph, the noted
bandit, bank robber and murderer,
who paid the death penalty on the
scaffold in Union, Mo, few months
ago, is owned by Cairo man and is
on exhibition in the store of Alder
man Edward Werner.
The hat, which shaded the bandits
eyes as he stood ON the seaffold was
bought for the occasion by Rudolph at
IWerners large store in st. Louis and
bears the firms trade mark on the
| band.
The following letter which is self
explanatory was sent with the hat to
Mr.. Tom Johns. of Centralia by Mr..
Carthy, a well known reporter on the
St Louis POST Dispatch, who fell heir
| to the hat, and who gave ii to the Cen
tralia man. Later he gave 1t to Mr..
Frank Tracy, of this city, who, be-
cause the hat bears Werner's trade
mark. gave it 10 the First Ward Al
derman to display in his store.
The letter is as follows:
st. Louis, Mo-, June 26, 1905.
Mr.. Thomas John Murphysboro, Illin-
/ ois.
My Dear MIR. John: Was sorry that
you and Mr.. Stoker could not find time
to cali at the Post-Dispatch off ce Sat
urday evening, as you stated earlier In
the day you hoped to- be able to do.
| | had the hat we spoke of, and take
pleasure in sending il to you today
+ by express.
The hat was worn by 'sBilI' Rudolph
during the latter parJ OF his life. On
the day that he was led from the lit
tie jail at Union he wore the hat as he
| ascended the scaffold. It shaded his
eyes while his hands and feet were be-
ling bound, and 1t was not removed
| from his head until the sheriff and hts
deputies We're ready 10 adjust the
black cap Then the priest, Father
McErlane. handed il tc me and re-.
lauested me Id keep 1t, stating that he
did nor wish the hat til fall Iii the
hands OF any of the residents of I'm
Ion. who were 50 hitter against Ru-
dolph.
"Bill Rudolph was certainly des-
perado. But he was as brave as a
Lion, and had his early life been cast
\ in different lines his end might not
have been so tragic. Certain 1t is
that on the days Immediately pre-
ceding his death he was gentle, and
was resigned to his fate When he
| died the only property that he left was
mis- hat and his collar and neck tie.
Father McErlane kept the former and
gave me the latter, which am today
sending you.
Yours very truly,
