INSPECTOR
 OF PRISONS Governor to Name Him
 on Return. . WIND SAID TO BE MADE UP Immediate Appointment of Dr.. Bragg's Successor is Demanded. othsrwi.e Work wm Have Aesunu- lated Beyond Possible Repafr-- Twenty-Five Physieians Af-
 ter the once.

The agony of applicants for the of- fee. of State Prison and Cotton Mill Inspector is expected to bo ended with the return of Governor Conner Xto Montgomery the fore part of next week. Then it is said the Governor will be loaded" with the appoint ments.
 Probably a greater number of appii- cants will be disappointed by the an- nouncement than for any other State oiiice made vacant in many years. It was learned yesterday that between twenty five and thirty physicians are seeking the office.
 There is no doubt but that 1t is up to the Governor to appoint the sue cessor of the late pr. Shirley Bragg and do 1t quickly. Already the delay In selecting the man has been cost ly one. The office. it is conceded, has been handled, as well as any subor- dinate could handle 1t, by the efficient chief clerk, John Adams. Yet as there is much traveling Incident to the work 1t is impossible for one man to attend to this feature of the work and hold down the office end proper at the same time.
 zThe duties as set out in section 1915 of the Criminal Code are sufficient to consume all the time not only of the chief clerk but of the inspector him. self The latter must visit at least twice a year and oftener if he can every county jail and alrnshouse in the State. He must on these visits discover any defects in sanitation and order them corrected. must look into the management of such institutions and must make a detailed report of the investigation after each visit of the number of inmates thereof, the cost of managing them, general health conditions. etc,
 But this Is the least part of the work probably. In addition the In- spectOr or his assistant at least four times each year and oftener, if the Governor orders, every cotton mill or factory in the State, thoroughly in- spect each with reference to sanitary condition, ages of child operatives and all other such matters.
 When the inspector, even with a busy assistant, has done all this he has completed a good years work.
 But with this knowledge of the stat utory duties of the inspector the ofYice Is a much sought one. At least twen- ty-five reputable physicians--the law requires the incumbent to be a "prac- ticing physician in good standign," etc. --afe after the job. True 1t pays &2.- goo ner annum and expenses for trav- el of. himself and assistant.
 It has been several weeks since the death of Dr. Bragg, first and only i'm spector, and the office demands an in- mediate appointment. or the work will be so far behind that 1t could not we'll be made up.

BETTER HIGHWAYS URGED
Rural Delivery Division Of Postal Department
Sending Out Letters va.

The rural delivery division o
the postofice department has
force of clerks busy sending on
daily thousands of notices to loca
highway officials throughout thu
country calling attention to needed
repairs to roads travelled by rura
mail carriers.
The rural delivery service is be.
coming the greatest agency yet
known for the improvement of the
highways of the country and the
helpful cooperation of the states
which have highway commission
ers or other officer is proving high
ly beneficial. On the other hand
the state officials are thankful for
the prodding that the government
department is giving to the people
of their states, and there is the
heartiest kind of cooperation be-
tween federal and state officials.
An instance of this is in Illinois.
Superintendent Spillman of the
rural division said of A. N. John
son, the highway engineer of the
state administration: He is the
livest wire we know of, and we
have, through him, been able to
accomplish splendid results"
Illinois has more rural routes in
operation than any other state in
the union. It has 1898 routes,
covering total mileage Of roads of
6,997 miles. Of this but 1,O13
miles are macadam. The remain
der of the roads are gravel or dirt
and there is no denying that many
of the roads in the southern and
central portions of the state, where
the deep black loan is found, need
repair or rebuilding.
In Missouri there are 2,O19
routes, 46, 720 miles in length, and
of these roads but 874 miles are
macadamized. The department is
cooperating with the board of
agriculture in Missouri to improve
the roads traversed by the carriers.
Several months ago postmasters
at rural delivery Offices were re-
quired to render reports to the de-
partment of the number of miles of
roads covered by rural delivery
from their respective offices, the
material of which the roads were
composed and to indicate from Of
fetal description those roads ur-
gently needing repairs and the
character of repairs required.

Death OF John C. Huni

a. Death OF John C. Huni
From Princeton Telegraph.
"A John G. Hunt, thirty-five year
of age, and the oldest son Of Mr.
and Mrs. James M. Hunt, of thi
city, was struck by a west boun,
passenger train ON the G. B. s Q
railroad about one mile west O.
Farragut, Iowa ~batwaan the hour'
of seven and eight o'clock las
Tuesday night and received injur
les which resulted in his death 6
few hours later.
From the meager details obtain
able we learn that the deceased and
his brother, Fred Hunt, had been
firing at the ballast works near
Farragut for several weeks, but
that on the evening of the day
mentioned John had quit and was
walking toward Farragut where he
would receive his pay for his work.
At or near the point where he was
struck by the train is a railroad
crossing where the train is suppos-
ed to stop and where passengers
frequently board the train. 1t is
presumed that he was intending to
get aboard the train at the time he
was struck as it is known that he
had planned to join his wife at
their home. at Laclede, Mo-, on the
following day. Mrs. Hunt had
spent several days visiting her
husbands parents here last week
and on the afternoon before the ac-
cident had left for Centerville on
visit to her daughter.
kilograms announcing the acci-
dent were received here and Ex-
press Agent Edward Hunt left on
the first tram for Centerville where
he was joined by his brothers wife
and both proceeded to Shenandoah,
Ia, where the, injured man had
been taken after being picked up
by trainman who were eye witnesses
to the tragedy. When they arrived
at Shenandoah they learned from
Fred Hunt that John had died
peacefully several hours before.
All accompanied the body to this
city, arriving here on west bound
train No. 81 last Friday morning.
Funeral services were held at II
a. M, conducted by Rev. S. Caro-
theirs, after which the remains were
borne to the Princeton cemetery
and tenderly laid to rest. The de-
ceased was born and raised here
and leaves a wife, father, mother,
two brothers and a host of friends
TO mourn his death.
The grief stricken parents are
the most highly respected |
citizens of Princeton and the hearts
IF the entire community 60 out to
hem in sincere sympathy in their
1our of great sorrow.
