TRUSTEES TO PAY FOR WORK.
The trustees OF every towns hip in AL
len county have been asked to meet in
the school house at LaHarpe next Sat
urday to confer about systematic good
roads for the country. Interest in the
subject is greater now than ever before
and it is hoped by holding such meet
ing to reach an agreement whereby some
system may be secured ia the work, A
uniform price will be agreed upon as
proper compensation for read work and
an effort made to form plan by which
the work of the King road drags now in
in use in the county may be con-
tinous and the main highways across

is certainly most laudabe plan and

GOOD ROADS ITEMS.
THE ROAD DRAG BEconINd
POPULAR.
It Is Being Worked With Great
Success Over In
Kansas.

Mail and Breeze.
Never has there been such interest
taken 10 tbs subject Of good roads as at
the present time. The people have
awakened to the fact that good dirt
roads can be had at q very small cost,
and there seems to be a willingness on
the part Of farm folks generally to make
an individual effort to have good roads.
In Neosho county, Kansas, dragging
is b sing done in every township. Taxes
for road purposes in all townships were
made payable in cash this year, and the
township boards are appropriating the
funds for the building and operation of
split log drags. Fifteen drags are now
at work 10 Erie township under the direc-
tion of the trustee, and, in addition to
to this number, many farmers have built
drags for private use. Every mile OF
dirt road in the county is to be dragge
this spring.
InAtchison county, Kansas, the Globe
is calling on the township boards to
remit the road taxes Of every farmer
who will make and successfully use a
King road drag. When farmer makes
q road drag and uses it aud still has to
cough up his road taxes it is like the
church or lodge woman who will donate
a dollars worth OF eatabl0s to social,
work herself almost to death serving
them and then pay two bits for the pri-
vlege Of eating them.

The residents of North Lawrence and
the farmers in the vicinity OF .Bismark

decided improvement on the Dicker road

doing all that was claimed for it. With

The farmers south of town nave COM

Arthur Leacy's to the top OF the Stevens
hill. Every farmer along the road
has agreed to give dollar to-
ward the fund, and the township trustee
will give an amount equal to the total
sum thus raised. In addition several
town people have contributed. The
road will be dragged twice after every
rain, with King road drag drawn by 3
horses, ana the man who does the work

CONSIDERABLY ANXIETY.

that the gunboat Des Moines lei there last

NOT ALL DEAD YET.
Fraudulent Concern Continues Catch

CHICAGO. October 19.-Post Office inspec-

Market Forecast which advertised inside
information on how ''millionaires were
made over night" fraud order waists
sued against the concern. and N. c. Col
Inns, alias Harris Gates, was arrested. 80
II is charged that the Daily Market Fore
cast held cut alluring prospects to persons
wishing to invest from So to $50 for the
daily reports. 1t promised to furnish tips
on big moves which are soon to come in
Wall street and on the board Of trade.
A sample of the literature which the post
Office people say Collins sent through the
malls. says:
"Millionaires will be created over night,
so II you are at all inclined toward the fas-
cinat!ng and profitable art OF speculation,
why not get In right and help yourself

be cut?
Opportunities will arise whereby the
wideawake speculator can make $1,000 on
an investment of 500 or $4,000 on an in
vestment OF $1,000"

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.
Commissioners Preparing to Enforce
New Law.

Preparations are being made by the Com
missioners to put into operation the new
law governing the employment agencies In
the District of Columbia. Beginning with
the LIST of November. which marks the COM
mencement of this law. all employment
agencies which have operated under licenses
secured prior to June 10. 1906. will be ruled
by the law which took effect on that date
providing that all applicants for license
must make the same in writing on q form
prescribed by the Commissioners, and that
each application must contain the full name
of the applicant and other information
specified in the law.
Applications for license must also be ac-
companied by bond In due form to the
District Of Columbia in the penal sum of
$1,000, with two or more suficient sureties
In order to facilitate compliance with the
law a number of blank forms have been
prepared under the supervision of Commits
sioner West, and these forms are now ready
for distribution to the keepers OF the en-
ployment agencies Many have already
been distributed, the knowledge that the
law would be enforced in all cases of
licenses issued after the passage Of the act
having become generally known to the per-
sons interested. These blanks include
form for individual application for license
and also a corporation application for H.
cense, as well as blank forms of bonds and
blank notices. which are to be posted show
ing where the employment agencies are to
be located and who are their proprietors.
These latter notices are required by law so
that the Commissioners may. II necessary,
give q public hearing before the application
is granted.
The law Is regarded as very comprehen-
sive, and 1t required considerable labor to
prepare the blanks and meet other Reces-
sary requirements. The law provides that
the Commissioners must be satisfied that
the applicant Is person Of good general
character. It IL probable that the aid OF the
police in obtaining reports upon the char
acter Of the applicants will b requested.

BIG FIRE IN ALTOONA
HALF A MILLION IN PROPERTY
WAS DESTROYED.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALTOONA, Pa, October 19.-In the most
costly fire in the history of this city a new
five-story furniture store of Oliver Roth
cart. with I. c. Mishler's new theater and
the Elks' new home, just about completed
were utterly destroyed this morning The
Altoona Trust Company's side wall had all
railroad also suffered. The loss was $780,
COO. Rothert carried s155.OOO insurance,
Mishler $4,000 and the Elks $4,000.
After a three hours fight the fire at o
o'clock was under control. A drizzling rain
had been falling all night, and had it not
been for this fact buildings in all parts Of
the town would have ignited from the
&C ids of sparks that were carried over the
city.
flames started in the Rothert building at
18th avenue and 18th street. Charles Ben
nett. the night Waterman. saw smoke in
the elevator shaft. and running to police
headquarters. half a block away, said:
Give me hand. there's a little fire down
here"
Policemen Colderwood and Rice found
flames roaring up the elevator shaft. Two
alarms were turned in and later two more,
calling out the entire department.
Spreading west to the Mishler theater the
fire caught the Elks home across an alley
in the rear. 1t reached the stage Of the
Mishler, licking up the scenery In a flash
and getting above the automatic drench,
which was thus useless. The roof soon fell.
Assistant Manager Guy Buriey of the
thea ter and Tom Mcmahon. trombone play
err of the orchestra, were fighting fire with
the theater hose when the roof caved in.
Both had miraculous escapes. The asbestos
curtain fell on Burley, and he was dragged
out by City Treasurer Arthur B. Clark.
