Proposed Road Would Pass Through
Missouri, With st. Louis
on Its Line.

Bloomington, Ill, Sept. l4.-Travel-
ing overland in q buggy drawn by a
team OF Mexican burros, Charles W.
Thatcher, OF Columbia Falls, Mont, is
seeking to arouse public interest inia
national highway from ocean to ocean.
He is now in Adams county, and
will reach Springfield in time for the
State Fair, where he hopes to secure
the attention and cooperation Of in-
fuential lllinoisans. He is laying out
a route while 90 his present journey,
and will lay his plans and ideas before
President Roosevelt. He will also turn
over to him petitions signed by hum
dreds Of thousands of citizens, praying
Congress to appropriate the necessary
funds for the construction Of such a
highway.
Thatcher has been booming,a trans
continental roadway connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans for many
years. In the last five years he has
travelled 1000 miles in his buggy. He
has crossed the rockies and braved
the perils Of Death Valley, once going
four days without a drop Of water. He
carries with him maps of.the principal
roads Of the country and when bis
Journey is ended he expects to be In :
position to present Ineligible and
convincing arguments before tht
President and Congress.
WANTS ROAD NINETY FEET WIDE
According to Thatcher's idea, the
proposed highway should be niuet'
feet In width. The road he hal
mapped out between st. Louis ant
Denver is eighty miles shorter thar
the shortest railway line, according Il
his claim. He proposes to use Tn
State road between st. Louis ar
kansas City, as planned, and tn
State road as contemplated between
Kansas City and Topeka. From
Leavenworth to Topeka he says tia
the road will be constructed by Fed
eral convicts from Fort Riley. From
the Fort to Denver the route will b
via Junction City Plainfeld, Colby
Lincoln and the old Leavenworth an
pjke's Peak pony express road. II
suggests restoring the old Nationa
road between st. Louis and Baltimore
, which has been out of repair.
Thatcher is paying his own expen

Those who In July do WED,
Must labor always for their bread;
Whoever wed In August be,
Many changes you are sure to be;

AuDRAM COUNTY
CIRCUIT COURT DOCKET
The Case OF Edna Fighter, Maude

3. Ron Trial.

The cases Of Edna RICHTER, by next
friend, VS. 9. s. A. r. r., Maude Dry
VS. @. g A. and Rosa Alien against
the same road came up in the Au-
drain Circuit Court Tuesday after
noon and 1t took most nf the day We'd
nesday. All three Of the defendants
live In the neighborhood Of Bush Hill
where the O. s. A. has q station.
The incidents in the case are these.
The three young ladies went TO Louis
lana OH July IL and returned on an ex-
oursion train the same night. The
night was very dark and 1t was hailing
very hard, so hard that the headlight
In the engine was said to have been
broken out and the light extinguished.
This caused the engineer TO lose his
bearings and be could not tell where
he was. He stopped the train almost
q mile from Rush Hill to look around
and the porter thinking it was Rush
Hill, put the three young ladies, 1t Is
alleged, off in a ditch by the side Of
the track in which they claim the
water and mud was very deep.
They caught the train before is got
away and rode up to where they
again thought was the station, but
which they discovered was another
place about 800 yards from the plat
form. This time they did not catch
the train and SO had to walk to the
platform. When they arrived they
found their relatives who we're to meet
them were gone,so they bad to walk
to their home which was about 0 miles
from Rnsh Hill.
They said that the damage done To
their clothes, their health and to
their pride, by having to get into the
crowded coach after having been In
the mud and rain at the first stop was
very great and they are suing the road
for $4,000 apiece. At the time of going
to press, the case had not been de-
cided.

County Court Called In Extra sss-

Fayette, MO, Sept. 2l.-The Ctr
Council Of Fayette has aroused the ire
Of the farmers of the surrounding
country because OF 1.-THE removal Of
public hitch racks from around the
Courthouse Square.
The old hitch racks have long been
an eye sore and nuisance, but the town
hesitated to break the long establish
ed precedent.
The hitch racks were put up years
before the war. Opportunity to move
them came during the recent street
carnival held here. The streets around
the square were roped of for the
shows and when the shows disappear
ed the racks were gone.
In the meantime the City Council
had built several hitch racks ON side
streets for the convenience Of farmers
who came to town to trade, and also
provided public watering troughs.
The farmers have held indignation

question so far as forcing the issue is
concerned. The City Council and the

Within the last year an excellent
system Of waterworks has been in
stalled, miles of granitoid walks have
been built, new additions opened and
many handsome homes built. The pop

last five years and the value OF rea'

The hitch racks, which were IN.
