Gentlemen; The law which

point a county highway engineer.
This law also provides for a com
pensation to be fixed by you be-
tween $500 and o., 900 per aunum;
that the engineer shall devote his
entire time to the duties of his of.
fee and shall engage in no other
avocatiOn. II takes away from the
ex. ofilcio bridge commissioner that
portion OF the comfy work pertain.
ing to roads and makes the county
highway engineer virtually the
custodian and builder of your roads
aud bridges while yet remaining
under the general supervision Of
the county court. He is the advis.
er of tue county court uTon oil
matters pertaining to roads and as
such the county engineer
will stand in closer relation to the
actual improvements and mainte-
nance Of the roads than any other
man within the state. Since he
will have no time to engage in olh.
er work while attending to these
duties your honorable body should
therefore fix the. compensation at
such figure as to command a good
mau and be an incentive TO him to
put forth his best efforts in the
work. Whatever this salary may
be, the right man can save the
county more than this amount.
The county surveyor may be ap.

You will see at once the impor.
tance of the county engineer anG

Cherry was married to Miss
Lima Basbett, daughter of for
mer State Building and Loan In
spector William r. Basket, now
resident of this city. Miss
Basket was considered the most
handsome young woman In the
town and was immensely popu-
lar. Her marriage followed a
brief but ardent courtship on
the part of Cherry. She is now
at Jacksonville, ILL.,, where she
was installed as mistress of his
splendid mansion the day of the
wedding, which was solemnized
while she was visiting in that
city on June 1 last.
The woman who filed the suit
against Cherry tells a pitiful
story of her alleged wrongs in
her petition. In it she asserts
that, prior to the death of Cher
ry's first wife, from whom he
had separated, but was never
divorced, she and Cherry lived
together in st. Louis and East
st. Louis as man and wife.
The petition recites that she
was reared in a small town near
Bloomington, ILL.,, and states
that her parents turned her out
of their home because she per-
sisted in receiving Cherry's at
tentions.
AS soon as Mrs. Cherry No. l
was dead, she alleges in her pc
tition, she insisted that he full
fill his agreement to publicly
make her his wife. He put her
off, she states, and finally
agreed to enter into a common
law marriage with her. This,
she alleges, according to the
record, was performed in their
apartment without witnesses,
Cherry, according to her state
ment, stating: Rachel Pierce,
you are my lawful wife" To
which she alleges she replied:
John Cherry, you are my law
full husband"
The woman asserts in her
complaint that she can prove by
city officials and other promi-
nent people at Jacksonville, ILL.,,
and Centralia, ILL.,, that Cherry
afterward introduced her to
them as Mrs. Cherry.
To substantiate this, accord
ing to the petition, she declares
she has a telescope full of let
ters in her room at a Paris ho-
tel, nearly 200 of them, alleged
to have been written by Cherry,
in which he addressed her, she
declares, as his wife and signed
himself your affectionate hus-
band"
She alleges in her petition
that just before his marriage
to Miss Basket he persuaded
her TO go to New Mexico and
gave her $3.50 for expense mon
ey. When this gave out, she
states, he sent no more, and she
was left in destitute circum-
stances. Letters written to him,
appealing for relief, were re-
turned unopened, she says. In
the petition she says she finally
borrowed enough money to get
back to Jacksonville, III.
A contract which figures in
the case is among the papers she
says she brought to Paris to-
day.
The woman alleges lin the pc
tition that it was drawn by Mr..
Cherry and that his signature
to it is genuine. 1t specifies,
according to the complaint. that
the bearer, known as Mrs. Rach-
el Cherry, shall receive $40 per
month the rest of her life. Fail
ure to pay over this money,
she alleges, is the direct cause
of the suit she filed today.
