BALTIMORE. Md. May 80. 1905
From present indications the democratic
party will just float along In the present
campaign. General apathy is apparent all
along the line.
This is due in a great measure to the
fact that there is nothing in it, for the
big leaders, who will rest on their oars
until the early fall when they will begin
to lay plans to push through the disfran
chisement amendment.
Senator Smith, the state boss, will sail
for an extended tour of Europe two weeks
hence. and will not, therefore. be one OF
the big four to the Denver convention. 1t
is limited that the departure of Smith is
due to the fact that he wants to be out
of range in the big factlonal fights now
raging on the eastern shore.
His enemies claim that he fears to take
decided stand in favor of any faction
because a defeat might still further dam
age his already frayed prestige as a state
leader.
In the political world Smith had but one
ambition and that to go to the United
States Senate. This ambition has been
grarfied. and it is more than likely that
Smith will remain inactive until the time
rolls around for his reelection.

Hardly had the street paving graft cases
been disposed of before there came
charges of graft and protection for
what is Known as the cocaine ring AS
a result of these charges five policemen
have been suspended from duty. two
druggists and a number of negroes are
under arrest and further developments
are anticipated
At the preliminary hearing one of the
negro coke vendors testified that he
first got into the business through poll
tics. He said that one of the policemen
now under suspension came to him and
asked him If he could not keep some of
the Chestnut street negroes from voting
at the last election. The witness stated
that he had kept sixteen from the polls
and has received s. for each of them
from the democratic executive of the
ward. After the election the witness
stated that through the policeman and

MILITARY ROAD FOR KANSAS.
First Steps Taken For a One Hundred
and Twenty Mile Pike

Representative D. r. Anthony. who
recently returned to Kansas from the
east, while in Washington talked over
preliminary plans for the building OF
the proposed military road between
Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley,
says the Kansas City Times. At his
request road engineer of the public
roads bureau is to be sent on to make
an Investigation and prepare detailed
plans -of the road The engineer is to
report in time for action by congress
the coming winter.
1.-The prospects for the government
favorng the building of the proposed
military highway between Fort Leav-
enworth and Fort Riley are very
bright" said Mr.. Anthony. '.The d.
rector of public roads, which is the
bureau connected with the department
of agriculture, assures me that the
plan to build this 100 mile highway
connecting the greatest army posts IN
the country is heartily favored. They
believe the construction of this roac
would be great object lesson to the
agricultural west in the building Of
| modern highways, which mean 81
| much in the way of aTording an &C
cessible medium for the farmer II

MODEL ROCK ROAD.

First Strip Constructed In Wisconsin
Under Direction of u. S. Engineers.
There has recently been completed
In Rock county, Wis. the first strip of
road built under the supervision of
United States engineers SAGE Wiscon-
sin emerged from territory into the
dignity of statehood, says Ianesville
Wis.) correspondent of the Milwaukee
Sentinel. Incidentally 1t is the first
model road to be constructed in Wis
consin on rural roads with proper ma
chinery on rules laid down by the
government This strip of road is
three-quarters of mile i'll length and
lies half mile east of Clinton. in the
township of that name.
When the county board met last
spring the towns of Clinton. Plymouth.
Center, Fulton. Bradford, Beloit and
Milton all appropriated sums ranging
from $40o to $1,000 for the construc-
ton of good roads. According to the
state law, the county board was Of he
cessity forced to appropriate from
county funds an equal sum for each
town equal to their appropriation.
Just at this time Samuel G. Lancas
ter of the bureau of good roads at
Washington spoke before the state
legislature, and Mr.. Hotchkiss, secre-
tary of the state good roads move
ment, prevailed upon him to visit Rock
county as the only county in the state
which had appropriations for the pur-
| pose His visit resulted in the good
roads bureau at Washington being pre-
vailed upon to send complete set of
road building machinery and engineers
to construct three-quarters OF a mile
of model road as an example for the
rest of the county to follow.
/ While the cost Of the road ran over
the $1,000 appropriated. this was due
i to high prices Of material and long
hauls and can be easily overcome in
future roads.
The road is built with twelve foot
crown or macadam center. The rock
bed is eight inches deep, the stone be
ing crushed from thickness of four
teen to eight inches. The regular mae
adam process was used. A layer ol
coarse rock four inches thick was frs

she lowered herself to the first ledge

The descent was too difficult to be

the sun had already dragged its rays

ed, but realizing that she must get out
Of the gorge before darkness came on.
Bending over. she laid her hand up
