Marking Country Roads.

The talk of general naming and
marking OF country roads ought not to
be permitted to end In talk, says Motor
News. Ii is too important that high
ways in the country should be carefully
designated and suitable guideboards
erected and maintained by the proper
authorities. Such aids to travellers are
most needed, Of course, where the roads
are most used, especially In the vicinity
OF cities. 1t is there that the highways
are most frequented by strangers to
the localities where the roads are often
permitted TO go unmarked In these
days Of many automobiles and much
use of interurban and suburban trolley
cars an ever increasing number Of city
dwellers are apt to take outings within
fifty or sixty miles of home. They find
unknown and unmarked roads draw

points as road names and road guide

INTERESTING PLAYHOUSE
The Tacon Theater, Sold in Havana
Built by Pirate.
Cuban Revue

CUBAN Review.
The history Of the Tacon theater of
Havana, which was recently purchased
by the Spanish Dramatic com pany for
$55O,OO0, is very interesting. In the
year 1885 Francisco Marty, who was
then the leader of band of pirates
which infested the island of Cuba, and
who had a price of 100000 on his
head, was captured and ordered to be
put to death. Seeing there was no hope
for him, he asked leave to see General
Tacon, who was then governor general
Of Hayana, and told him if his life
was spared he would denounce his en-
tire band and assist him in Kidding the
island of the number of pirates which
infested it at that period. Accord
ingly General Tacon gave him a two
weeks parole, and inside Of a week
Marty had denounced his fellow pirates
and turned them over to the govern
ment. For this service he was par
doned. ~. 49,. :.
In 1886 Marty asked for the conces-
sion to build a national theater on the
site of Parque Central. 1t was granted
him. General Tacon went further and
allowed him the privilege Of the use
of fort convicts who were then con-
fined in MORO castle to assist him in
the work, each convict receiving the
sum Of twenty cents & day. In 1888
the theater was finished and Marty,
as a proof of the gratitude he felt to-
ward General Tacon for spariug his
life, named it FL Teatro Tacon. Dur
ing the insurrection in Cuba many ex-
citing incidents took place here. In
one instance regiment Of Cuban in
surgents barricaded themselves in the
theater and held it against the Span
iards for three days. Finally they were
starved out, and as they were making
their escape all were shot. 49,.
The theater is built of white stone,
with decorations of marble, and facing
Central park, being in the center Of the
fashionable district of Havana. It is
one of the largest theaters in the world,
seating over 5000 persons.

SAW HAND AND ARM MAEGLED
Burt Braced Feet and Held Back or
Body Would Have Been Crushed.

FERGUS FALLS, MINN.-A threshing ma
chine accident occurred in the town of West
ern yesterday, John Burt having his hand
and arm mangled in pulley about which he
was working The wheel was moving at the
rate of more than one thousand revolutions a
minute when his hand was drawn in, but
with superb nerve he braced his feet against the
machine and held back while the hand and
part Of the arm were being broken, torn and
mangled
The friction Of the rapidly moving machin-
cry was SO great that his coat sleeve took
fire and was scorched and smoking when the
machine was stopped. BY holding back as he
did, he saved his body from being drawn into
the machine and will survive altho very weak
from loss Of blood when brought to the hos
pital here.
The young men who were arrested here last
week complaint Of Grant county farmers,
who charged them with shooting ducks on
Sunday, have paid their fine, amounting to
$40 in each case. They thought at first Of
worth while to spend the time and money
necessary to carry it thru the courts.

AMENDMENT sIDETRACKED
Delay Of Officials Is Fatal to Vote on
One Proposition in North Dakota.

FARGO, N. D.-As a result Of too much delay
on the part Of someone. said to be in the secre-
tary of states office, the constitutional amend
ment which was to have been voted on this
fall to give the state board Of school lands more
discretion in making Investments, will not come
before the voters. The state funds are in
creasing so rapidly that the board finds great
difficulty in securing proper loans under the re-
strictions to which it is limited and the last
legislature provided for the submission Of an
amendment to the voters giving the board q wild
err scope The plan met with the opposition Of
many who feared improbable Investments, but
the majority Of the people appeared to favor
the idea as the fund Is growing 90 large that
it cannot possibly be invested under the original
provisions.

Special to The Journal. .ts -
st. Cloud, Mimi, Oct. 16.-The new regula-
ton requiring the inspection of the baggage of
laborers sent out by employment agents was the
cause of a party Of fifty being held up in this
city and notified to return to Duluth, from
which place they had been shipped. The men
had been sent out from Duluth employment
agency and were on their way to Montana.
When they reached here a representative Of the
agency, John T.. Wilson, who was in charge Of
the party, was notified that the men must be
sent back to Duluth at once. ..-- 2. p.
The baggage Of the men had not been inspect.
ed before the party left the head of the lakes.
The regulation requires that the baggage OF
laborers sent out by employment agencies a
greater distance than 100 miles must be in
spected by the health officials to see that 1t
Is In frst-class shape and contains rags or
old clothing which may contain disease germs.

Ing much trouble for the agents who are unable

OF men requisitioned Hundreds of men, be
says, are being turned away every day because
they refuse to submit to the regulations, and
men are being held up all along the line, caus.
Ing great inconvenience and expense. In most
Instances the men will not go without their
baggage, even II it has been condemned, and
the only way out of the difficulty is for the
agencies to purchase entirely new outfits for
them, which they cannot afford to d.

WADENA. MINN.-The argument on the de-
murrer Of the defendant to the action brought
st. Cloud was heard yesterday by Judge Baxter.
Judge Bruener represented Mayor Robinson
and George w. Peterson represented the state.
Judge Bruener argued that the court had no

against its mayor in case he refused or failed to
enforce the law concerning Sunday regulation Of
the, liquor traffic. = '.>t.T e @i,S.1 -,
The defendant commended that the action would
