this will thoroughly test the value OF
oil as a road maker. The road was
first graded with a slight raise IN the
center about like a paved street: Then
it was narrowed and oiled. Then II
was drenched with water to harden 1t.
After that another coat of oil was put
on. The soil is now hardening. 1t mas

and has become slightly springy like
asphalt. There is no dust. and it is
pleasure to ride over the road The
experiment is already regarded as
success. although the road will un-
doubtedly improve as more oil is put
on it The oil is sprinkled upon the
road with an ordinary street sprinkler.
The experiments have gone far
enough to show that the heavier the
oil the better road it makes. California
oil makes the best road because it runs
as low as ii in gravity. There the
roads often outlast the asphalt. Oil of
80 gravity will lay the dust, but it does
not contain enough asphalt to form
solid base. The oil used in Coffeyville
probably is about 2S gravity.

THEY LIKE ELLERY.
Famous Band Man PIeases the Chicago
Musicians.

During the engagement of his band
in Chicago, Colonel EIlery, in order to
show his friendly feeling for the Fed
Grafton of Musicians" gave d special
complimentary matinee at the Coli
scum garden to which he invited the
members of the Chicago local and
their friends and families The pro-
gramme rendered was strictly classical
and was heard by an audience OF near
ly 3,000 people, almost every man ana
woman in it belonging directly or in
directly to the musical profession. The
enthusiasm during the progress of the
concert was at fever heat. cheers and
applause breaking out time and again
until the finale. the sexette from
Lucia di Lammermoor. when the
ovation offered to the band broke all
the bounds of sanity and became de-
lirium. A few days after the great
concert Mr.. Ellery received the follow
ing letter from the board of directors
of the Chicago local:

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle With Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacal
in the way coffee sometimes wreaks it's
fiendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf says
My husband and I, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful headaches.
In my own case there was eventually
developed some sort of affection of the
nerves leading from the spine to the
head.
4 was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves drew
it to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from medf-
cine, and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble. till a friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee we drank
had something to do with it, and ad-
vised that we quit it and try Postum
Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice. and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
very short time both of us were en-
tireIy relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches ceased.
the muscles in the back of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up and the
dreadful pain that had so punished me
while I used the old kind of coffee van
ished.
I'VE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to find
that we can give it freely to our chill
dren also, something we never dared
to do with the old kind of Coffee" Name

Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs of any kind. but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poison.

Not New Case in Originally Affected
Fever District.

New Orleans, Sept. 6.-with the ex-
ception of Lake Providence and Tai
lulah. in northern Louisiana, yellow
fever reports from both city and coun-
try appear favorable in character.
Locally there are many evidences of
the success of the mosquito theory,
most conspicuous of which is the fact
that in the list of new cases for the
preceding 24 hours. there is not a
single one from the original area of in
fection, the forty-four squares in
which the fever first appeared, though
there are hundreds of non-immunes in
the district. DR.. Tichnor has stated
that the infection is growing less at
Ta1lulah. The death of Secretary Lace
of the Fifth district Ievee board at
Tallulah of yellow fever has added to
the alarm there.

AN OIL ROAD TEST.

the Grand Jury. He and District At
torney Byington consulted over the
loss sustained by the Treasurer's de-
partment and agreed that it would
amount to about $4,000. For this loss
Treasurer McDougaId and Chief Dep
uty Louis A. Devote are to be held
personally responsible. Devoto's bond,
according to Frank L. Gilbert. who
represents the National Surety Com
pany. is only for $4,000.
While investigating along these lines
Foreman Andrews discovered that
bonds for clerks and deputies in both
the Tax Collectors office and the
Treasurer's Office were ridiculously in
sufficient. The city's funds, he de-
clared, were almost without protection
in this regard.
In the evening Foreman Andrews
and District Attorney Byington held a
secret consultation with Captain Bur-
nett. In view of the fact that several
indictments will be found to-day they
asked the captain to make sure that
the people wanted do not leave town

Young Smiths nervousness increased
as the investigation proceeded.
He reasserted that there had been
shortage of S165. 900, and that it had
been made good by his brother, James
B. Smith. He declared that there
were people in the Treasurer's office
who could prove that the shortage ex-
listed and that the money had been re-
stored.
Foreman Andrews will insist upon
absolute proof of this. Where and
how James r. Smith got the money
must be shown. The Grand Jury will
demand to know what securities were
pledged to raise the sum. In fact, the
minutest details of the transaction
must be shown.

ten." was Andrews comment while
taking breathing SPELL
There were men on the payroll who
did no work and Smith made dummy
demands upon the treasury for en-
ployes who did not exist. This petty
graft ran into the thousands.
Regarding the real working force of
clerks, however, Foreman Andrews
found no fault. While the office car
ried a number of employees who did
nothing for their salaries, the others
accomplished as much work as the
clerks of any other municipal Office.
Recalling an incident of the O'Brien
regime, when some records that con-
tained damaging evidence were burned,
Foreman Andrews placed a guard over
the safe where the records of Tax Col
lector Smith are kept. When O'Brien
was under suspicion. books containing
evidence that might have convicted
him, disappeared.
James McCabe was one of O'Brien's
trusted clerks and it was charged that
he destroyed them. Foreman Andrews
was told of this incident and will take
no chances.
Handwriting Expert Theodore Kytka,
who has been working for three weeks
gathering evidence in Smiths system

treasury, was called by Foreman An

Particular attention has been given
to investigating the license office. The
graft unearthed in this department is
said by Expert Young TO be enormous,
reaching over $4,000 The jury will
probably find at least one indictment
in that office to-day.
The conduct of James McCabe. who
was appointed TO succeed Smith, is
under rigid investigation. Foreman
Andrews did not have him on the
grill yesterday, as such action might
destroy the chance of indicting him,

this morning on a train while en- route

General Lee had been removed to the
hospital this morning it was evident
to the attending physicians that his
case was a very serious one. but they
believed that his strong vitality and
will power would assist materially in
a partial recovery at least from the
attack. His condition remained fair,
considering the severity Of the at
tack, during the day, but shortly after
o'clock tonight he began to grow
weaker. his breathing became more
rapid and his pulse lower, terminating
In less than two hours In death. The
end was peaceful and without pain,
the general remaining conscious until
within five minutes OF the end. Halt

not one Of them was with him at the
