Trustee Lesher Of Grant viii Make
Travel Safer at Corners.

Trustee John T. Lesher Of Grant
township is preparing to cut the
hedges at every corner where there is
obstructed view. II the property
owners do not do it, the township
board will do it and charge 1t up as
taxes. This is right. Many corners
are very dangerous, especially with
SC many automobiles in use. One
cannot see the coming team or car
until almost upon 1t and several acct
dents have occurred already. Every
township ought to do the same thing
Grant is making some Of the best
roads in the county and Its excellent
example is deserving Of praise.

"Our country has been at peace
both internally and with nations.
While the Hague conference seems to
have been farce in many respects
nevertheless beneath it lies the prln-
chile Of the Lord Peace in whose name
sooner or later it will be declared that
war shall be no more. We must not
expect speedy process Of elimination
of such monsrous evils.
"Marvelous strides have been made
toward the greatest day the nation
has ever seen, when Uncle Sam shall
sever forever partnership from the
greatest evil the world has ever known
the saloon. We are thankful that
the beautiful star which has made Its
appearance In the expanse OF blue on
our great national banner Is pure
white and shall be thus till the stars
and stripes cease to float over the
dives Of vice and iniquity; aye, even
till every star shall be cleansed from
its sin Of license and partnership in
evil.
"Evideuoes that the Lords prayer,
which must be answered, is soon to
have its elimination in the uniting OF
the great Christian brotherhoods oil
the world into one great and marvel
GUS force toward the bringing OF the
whole wide world to the feet Of King

GOOD ROAD MAKING.
Enterprise to Abilene Road Is Q.
Model Now. \

1t is too bad that every road over-
seer in the county, including the
street commissioner of Abilene. can
not inspect the Abilene-Enterprlse
road. This used to be very rough
road but it is now dragged after
nearly every rain. At present it is
far smoother than most the Abilene
streets while all other country roads
around town have ruts and bumps in
them. Good road making is easy II

BIG FAILURE AT HAMBURG.
Halter, SOehle & Co. Go Under For
35,OOO,OOO.

S5,OOO,OOO.
HAMBURG, Oct. 1S.-The old pri
vate banking firm Of Halter, Soehle 4
Co. here has failed with liabilities es
timated in the nelghborhood of 49,,
100000, but the Hamburger Nachrich
ten says that the liabilities will reach
$7,500,000.
This will make the crash of this firm
the biggest bank failure In Germany
since the famous breakdown of the
LeipZlger bank In June, 1901. The as
sets Of the firm have not yet been as
certained, but In banking circles the
capital of the partners is declared t.
be $2,250,0O0.
Nearly all the joint stock and pri
vate banks in Hamburg are affected IN
varying degrees by this failure, but q
number Of them say that their claims
are adequately secured. Among tn,
firms liabilities are acceptances fol
S3,7J0,000. The largest amount held
by any individual house seems to bt
$4,000 in the hands of the vereins
bank.
The difficulties OF the firm arose
chiefly from its connection with q
mining company at TepIltz. Bohemia
In which much capital was locked up.
