Cost of Bad Roads.

Col. J. Killebrew, il the Southern
Farm Magazine of Baltimore. says:
No portion Of the South can afford to
pay such eNtOrtionate rates as are ROW
paid to get produce to market. This
cannot be less than % cents Ger tom
mile, not to mention the wear and tear
of wagons and teams and the loss of
time on the roads. One twO-hOrse
wagon on good macadaI road should
be able TO convey in one load ten
bales of cotton to market or two hogs
heads of tobacco. A good load with
such 4 conveyance over the miserable
roads Of the South is two bales. of cot
ton and one very light hogshead of to-
bacco, attended, then. with frequent
miring Of both wagon and team. Pub
lie spirit needs to be aroused to this
pitiable condition of the great majority
of the highways of the South. No
money can he expended for public i'm
provements which will bring more
comfort and happiness to a greater
number of people. No money expend-
ed in building good highways ever
causes regret after the roads are COM
pleted. The improved roads become
source of pride to all taxpayers and to
all public-Spirited citizens.

for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always

never could find place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting. which
we had great difficulty in stopping.

In the following July, however. she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. was away from home fill

my return I found her very low; the

death, and it took some days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
Il had also experienced the same
trouble, but not SO violently, and had
relieved it each time by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the Use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles. and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared, and during the
8 years that we have been using Pos

had a recurrence OF the vomiting. We

Cork Ire. In Arizona.

o. E. Sewers, the mining man, has
just come In from Pinal county and
has brought with him a sample of
cork bark taken from a tree on the
1rions ranch. 1t is perhaps the only
cork tree in Arizona and one Of the
very few cork trees in the United
States, but the thrifty condition of 1t
proves that cork can be produced

This tree was planted by Mr..
1rions about nine years ago, is about
twenty-five or thirty feet tall and is
about nine inches in diameter. That
is as tall as the average tree ever
gets, but at a great age trees some.
times reach a diameter of five feet.
It is understood that the plant was

Food of the Cod.

About 1874 William Drysdale won 6
medal at poultry show in Dudley
Staffordshire, England. The center
part of the medal consisted Of a gold
disc, on which the winners name was
engraved. Mr.. Drysdale's son seems
to have worn the disc and lost ii
whilst on a visit to Ashington, In
Northumberland, in 1894. Naturally
he concluded he had seen the last OF
1t, but nearly ten years afterward a
cod fish was caught off the mouth OF
the Wansbeck, in the stomach OF
which was found the long missing
disc. A Blyth gentleman who had now
become the owner Of it published an
account of his find in a newspaper
This caught the eye of Mr.. Drysdale's
son, who then applied for it as his
property. His Lotion was that the disc
must have been carried to sea With
refuse and swallowed By the cod.

last.
The sins Of the children are visited
upon the fathers and mothers.
A storm is better than a calm.
Courage is a common quality. per.

at the wheel of the Meteor Ill most of the
time and was in very good humor, and
had Ambassador Tower, Wilson Marshall

owner of the Endymion, who were among
his guests on board the yacht, hauling on

Emperor William at the conclusion of the
dinner which he gave on board the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern last night to the yachts
lantic race, arose and said that as there
were more Americans present than persons
of any other nationality, he would, with
the consent of Lord Brassey,. who was one
of the guests. propose the health OF the
president of the United States.
Privately, the emperor said he was de-
lighted with the success of the race, which
had attracted more entries and had turned
out to be more interesting than he expected
He also added that he felt indebted to AL

the Americans had occasion to say that
Commander II. G. Hebbinghaus had han

with much tact and judgment.

COULTER CHILDREN AT CANTON
Such Opinion il Held at sioux Falls,
Where Doctor Now
Resides.

SIOUX FALLS, S, D., June 23-(SpeciaD-
A great deal of local attention continues to
be directed to the matrimonial difficulties
of DR.. Frank A. Coulter of Omaha. who
some months ago arrived in Sioux Falls,
since which time he has been member Of
the local divorce colony.
At the time of the kidnapping by DR..
Coulter of the two children 1t was thought
the children would be brought direct to
Sioux Falls, but no trace of them can be
found here From what can be learned
the kidnapped children are being kept at
Canton, town twenty miles south of
Sioux Falls, their nearness to Sioux Falls
enabling Dr. Coulter TO see them frequently
without the danger of having the mother
discover the whereabouts of the children
and securing their return to Omaha.
The fact that Mrs. Coulter received
letter from Roberta, the younger of the
two girls. and that while the envelope was
postmarked Sioux Falls, the letter itself
was dated at some other place. the name
of which was unntellgibly written Is
believed to confirm the opinion that the
children are being secreted at Canton.
The divorce case of the doctor was set
for trial at the last term of court, but for
some reason was continued to the next
term. 1t is thought DR.. Coulter had the
case continued to such a time as would
enable him to cure such defects as might
exist in his legal citizenship in South Da-
kota He now maintains an office In this
city and doubtless intends that his resi-
dence shall be legal in every respect by the
time his divorce suit is called for trial at a
future term of the circuit court.
