OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Possible the Enrolment for
The New Term Next
Monday Will Be Great.
PUPILS RECEIVED GRADES.

Pupils of the Richmond public
schools this afternoon received their
cards, notifying them as to whether
they passed or failed in their work of
the past term, Beginning with next
Monday, the usual promotions will
take place and large class will go
into the high school from Garfield,
while changes will take place in every
building. The school term lust ending
has been a very successful and salts
factory one and has not been marred
by any epidemic or trouble of a gen
eral nature. The nearest approach to
anything of this sort was the absence
of a large number Of pupils for a short
time because of the grip. The outlook
for a large attendance during the new
term is fattering, and it is possible
the enrolment will go to high water

UNCLE SAM IS NOW
WATCHING ROUTES
Rural Carriers Out of the Rich
mond Office Win Give
Statistics.
BETTER ROADS THE OBJECT
DETAILED INFORMATION AS TO
THE CONDITION OF WAYNE
COUNTY, ROADS WILL BE FILED
IN WAS HINGTON.

That the United States postoffice
department in .ends to watch rural
routes more clos ely, and have nothing
but the best service. is evidenced by
the blanks which have been distribute
ed to local rural carriers and which
have to be filled out and forwarded TO
the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral in Washington. All rural car
riers are required to give explicit In
formation as TO the length and charac-
ter Of their routes. Tive department
will hold all blanks filed out by rural
carriers, as 1t is thought this will aid
materially the work of the rural route
inspectors who are constantly travel
ing over the country inspecting the
roads and furthermore, on the slight
est provocation dispensing with the
service. Bad roads are generally the
chief cause for the rural service sus-
pension Some Of the facts which the
department at Washington desires to
know Of Wayne county roads follow: :
Length of route.
Number Of approved boxes.
Miles of public roads.
Number of nonapproved boxes.
Miles of private roads.
Number of families served.>
Miles of macadam roads, gravel
roads, earth roads and sandy roads.
Are road building materials readily
available.
Are roads properly drained and
graded?
Number of Unabridged streams.
Description of roads urgently need
ing repairs.
What repairs are needed?
Bridges and culverts needing re-
pairs.
Is the road drag used on earthroads
Are weeds and underbrush cut from
the roadside?
How are the funds provided for
building and repairing roads-by prop
srty or labor tax?
Amount of money expended on roads
covered by route since route was es-
tablished?
Is there any general movement to
establish better roads?
Have farm values increased since
the establishment OF the route?
How many days during the last
twelve months has the service on the
route been wholly or partially sus-
pended owing to bad roads?
Owing to this detailed information
which is required, many rural route
patrons will probably more than ever
work to keep their roads in good con,
dition from this time forward. Uncle
Sam is rather particular to deal with
and unless bad roads are repaired to
facilitate rapid delivery, routes may
be discontinued on short notice.
The situation in Webster township
has not improved materially since the
first complaint was made against the
roads. The county commissioners will
probably have to show more activity
than they have in the past to aid citi
zens residing there to bring about re
lief. If the service is continued much
longer.

WHEAT IS IN DANGER

uncertainty. Previous to the recent

ton, but the blizzard, combined with a
heavy rainfall and sudden freeze. be,
fore the water had time to get off the
surface. may have done considerable
damage. This cannot be told until the
weather conditions have so changed
again as to expose the plants to view.
A heavy fall of snow has been badly
needed for the wheat for Il consider
able time, in order to give it suitable
protection.

At the time when Sir Gilbert Park
er went into parliament it was pro-
phesied that he would neglect litera-
ture and that his imagination might
be affected by the material surround,
ings of political life. The actual diff
ference seems to be only that he has
produced fewer works and fewer stor-
les. and has become convinced that
slower production is better for his
work.

Washington, Feb. Disqualification
Is expressed by the interstate CON-
merce commission over two condi-
tons that have arisen within a day
Dr. two. In concrete form they mean
that American railway officials, as a
class. are doing all that lies in their
power to meet situations that have
developed under the new laws apply
ing to interstate traffic.
Information has reached the com.
mission that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad proposes to put into effect to-
day, throughout it's system the So
called "%nine-hour law which, by it's
terms, does not become operative I'M
til March 4 next. The law limits the
hours of service Of all classes of train
operatives, particularly locomotive
engineers and firemen, train dispatch
ers, railway t~elegraphers, tower men
and signal operators.
Another source of qualification to
the commission is the very general
compliance of the railroads with that
provision OF the Hepburn act which
makes it obligatory upon carriers to
submit to the commission monthly re-
ports covering every phase Of the
operation of interstate roads.

SHOOTS SELF WHILE INSANE.
Treasurer Of Edison Manufacturing
Co. Ends Life in Cellar Of Hcme.

West Orange, n. J., Feb. 19.-John F.
Randolph, treasurer of the Edison
Manufacturing company, of which
Thomas A. Edison is president, com
mitted suicide in the cellar of his resi-
aence on New Valley way yesterday
by shooting himself in the head. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Randolph was tenn
porarily insane, as neither in his busi-
ness nor his family affairs was there
any known cause for such an act. This
belief was given further credence by
arr mentally unbalanced a few years
ago Alphonse Westee, secretary of
the Edison Manufacturing company,
said that Mr.. Randolph's accounts
were absolutely straight.
Mr.. Randolph was private secretary
to Thomas A.. Edison, and Mr.. Edison
was one Of the first to reach his house
after his death was known.
That Mrs. Randolph did not follow
her husband to death was due to the
prompt and determined action OF Mr..
Edison. When he reached the house
Mrs. Randolph was h~ysterical, wiring
ing her hands and crying out that she
would kill herself. Mr.. Edison follow
ed Mrs. Randolph to the second floor
and came upon her as she was about
to throw herself from a second-story
window. He seized the frenzied WON
an and after a hard struggle succeeded
in pulling her back to a place of safe
ty.
Several letters left by Mr.. Randolph
showed the suicide to have b 4 de
liberately planned.
