part is that the cost would be
comparatively small and easily
within our own means. If each
would help as he could there
would be no lack of funds, and it
is a certain proposition that the
roads would be profit-paying in

The idea is offered and it
remains for the people of

The school authorities of Lafa-

April % as a public school rally
day, upon which the pupils
of the public schools and their
parents shall get together. The
interest in the event will be in
creased by the annual athletic

high schools of southwest Louis

day. Lafayette people seem to
be almost alone in realizing the

AN UNSUITABLE MYSTERY.


One of the unsOlvable mys-
teries is why the citizens of a
small country town dependent
upon the surrounding country
for support commonly display 50
much Indifference towards such
a vital subject as good roads
leading into town. It would
seem that self-interest, and that
is generally recognized as the
strongest human motive, would
stimulate them to form organiza-
tiOns whose object and steady
purpose would be the main.
tenance of the best kind of roads
so as not only to facilitate those
whose necessities lead them to
trade at their particular town.
but to induce others who have
no need or inclination to come.
It is q solid fact that bad
roads are a serious discourage
ment to travel, and no man will
pull his teams through mud
holes at the risk of injuring them
or breaking his wagons unless
compelled to do so. Nor can he
afford or does he care to waste q
whole day on what should be q
forenoon trip. When the roads
are hard and firm many q dollar
will come to town, that wouldn't
wade through mud and water to
get there.
And Lafayette, though wide
awake and progressive in many
ways. is just like hundreds Of
other country towns, still unalive
to the vast Importance of having
not good but excellent highways
leading into town; highways
that are high and dry. hard and
firm and in perfect condition the
whole year through; highways
that attract travel. that are a
q pleasure to ride on, that make
. five or six mile drive ON q
shopping tour Q pleasant after
noon occupation; highways that
reach out for twenty miles
around Offering daily q bid for
trade that never dreams of com.
ing this way.
With such roads enterprising
merchants would know well how
to second the attraction Of
good roads with attractive prices
and strong inducements SUM-
cient to bring in . volume Of
trade that would more. than
double the business Of Lafayette
in one year.
But what have the people here
done towards securing good
roads? Save COR q meeting, long
enough ago now to be forgotten,
ct which some resolutions were
.psssed-nothing. Doing nothing
won't bring good roads. the only
way to get them is to work in .
business-like way, vigorously
take up the matter and use dis.
patch and unstinted effort to

Mt. Pleasant Congregational Victo

Mt. Pleasant Congregational finally broke
into the won column again yesterday in the
Sunday School League, but got a big
scare by the st. Stephens team before
they accomplished it.
1t was a pot-pourri game. There were
all kinds of base ball, but errors and slug

the game over to st. Stephens in the fifth.

they commenced trouncing Ballenger in
the sixth and seventh for eight runs. bring

pandemonium reigned.
Victory must be placed to the credit of
Captain Chittenden, as he not only stopped
the cannonading in the seventh and per-
mitted no more scoring by St Stephens,
but he also crossed the pan with five runs
and raped out two singles, two-bagger

Hideous misfortune smote Jacobsen for a

Bows Soundly.

The game yesterday in the Departmental
League was another one-sided affair, in
which the Agriculture team trounced the
Treasury boys to the tune of Is to I. The
great number of runs scored by the Farm
ers was due to the poor fielding of the
Treasury team. Field was on the rubber
for the winners and pitched a fair game.
Sander played good game at second. For
the losers Daily at second was the best.
Sander and McGinity did good work with
the stick for the winners, each getting
three hits, Loving, for Treasury, also Sc
cured three hits.
Both teams started off by hitting the ball
well. each securing three runs in the initial
inning. The winners made two more in the
second, and in the third piled up five more,
giving them total of 10 to Treasurys 5,
as they scored one in each of the second
and third innings. Treasury scored only in
one more inning. this being the seventh,
when two runners crossed the plate. Agri-
culture did likewise they secured six in
the seventh. The members of both teams
were fast on the bases, as Agriculture Sc
cured fourteen stolen bases, while Treasury
