CHICAGO, April 10.-The most impressive
lesson ever given by cocaine was done In
the suicide Of DR.. Willard Doser, due to
use Of the drug, and the subsequent discov-

the drug. The suicide of DR.. Doser was
the climax of years of tragedy, In which
was involved the curse of a habit passed
from husband to wife, from parents to chill
dren wrecking their home and their lives
His death was carefully planned and exc

The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

up in front Of the Warren residence. and
Mr.. Hunt and the former Mrs. Bassett and
an eight-year-old boy emerged.
May Re-Enter Ministry.
Mr.. Hunt, who wore dark business suit
seemed to be in the best of humor. Mrs.
Bassett, who was also in a cheerful mood,
was attired in a gray cloth costume. She
lovingly patted the little boy on the head
and it was said he was her son, Rice Bas-
sett. At the close Of the brief ceremony
Hunt said he would probably re-enter the
ministry.
The couple having brought no witnesses

sons marriage to Mrs. Bassett. Her son,
she said, left the house at s am, saying
he was going over to Newark to pay visit
to Mrs. Bassett.
The Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt first came to
public notice in March, 1905, when Charles
Chester Bassett, a clerk in the United
States geological survey at Washington,
filed suit In the District of Columbia for an
the correspondent. Mr.. Hunt had been in
charge of the Washington Heights Presby-
terrain Church at the national capital. The
Bassetts were married in 1891 and had four
children.
Divorce Trial Was Sensational.
Sensational testimony marked the Bassett
divorce trial in Washington In November,
1905. 1t was alleged, among other things,
that Hunt had been seen in Mrs. Bassetts
room in a hotel at Atlantic City. The d.
vorce suit ended in Bassetts favor. Mean
time Mrs. Bassett brought a counter suit
for divorce in Omaha, Neb., which was
thrown out or court owing 10 tne WASH
ington decree. Judge Redick OF Omaha
awarded the elder Bassett boy, Chester,
to the father and gave the younger son,
Rice, to the mother. No judicial decision
was made as to the custody of Lawrence
Bassett, the child whose paternity was de-
MED by Bassett.
At the time of the Omaha trial Hun an
nounced his resignation as pastor of the
Noble Street Presbyterian Church, but not
before the congregation voted him out.

lDent has been one OF the most useful
representatives this state has evtr

MIR. Martin first entered congress

most men so gifted in being thorough

Messrs. Burke and Martin worked

Mckinley, Blaine and the greatest

TIE GOOD ROADS QUESTION.

ApropoS OF one or two articles
which have appeared in The Repuo-
lican On the question OF good roads,
We want to append some remarks from
the CHICAGO Tribute on the points OF
hauling the crop to market, which
were obtained by the Tribune from
an authoritative source That paper
says:
Few people have any appreciation
OF the outlay which is necessary on
the part of the farmer to haul his
crops from the farm to the point OF
shipment. The sight OF wagons on
the way to town is n which is
familiar in the country districts.
That a farmer must have wagons
and teams is taken for granted with
out any consideration OF what such
an equipment means in the way of
initial cost or of what it represents
in dollars and cents in connection
with the farm profits.
The Department of Agriculture has
published a bulletin upon the sub
Ject, "Cost OF Hauling Crops from
reveals some surprising facts. The
method of compilation illustrates the
work of the department in the in
tereSt of the farmers, and the results
of the study suggest the enormous
saving which might be effected ur-
der improved facilities for Transport
tation.
a circular letter sent to $500 cor
respondents OF the department
brought answers from residents in
1884 counties. The questions asked
included the weight OF the average
load, the number Of horses or mules
used for hauling such load, the COST
of hiring a team for the purpose, the
greatest distance to a shipping point,
the principal farm products hauled,
and the time ordinarily taken for the
round trip.
Using the information gained from
these anwsers, an expert has pre-
pared tables showing the cost Of
hauling the principal crops to the
nearest shipping point. Taking the
more common product for illustla-
tion, 1T is shown that nearly S29, 000,-
600 vas spent in a single year to get
the corn crop shipped, this item re-
presenting nearly 10 per cent of the
value Of the average load carlied. In
the case Of wheat the aggregate cost

: per cent of the value of the load.
Taking twelve OF the principal pro-
ducts the aggregate cost Of hauling
to a place of shipment was $40, 00O,-
600, this making no account Of the
expense Of hauling grain to mill.
Such a large outlay in a given year
has its. own eloquent language of the
average saving from better roads,
which would allow larger loads or
fewer horses. No better argument
could be made in favor of good roads
than this table OF figures. The sta
tistics indicate also the possible saw
ing through the development of
freight carrying trolley lines. bringing
