AN ANCIENT HIGHWAY.
England's Great North Road Is Two
Thousand Years Old.

Before we reached Hatfield a few
miles out Of London, we had already
been impressed with the magnificence
Of this Great North road. which is
said to have been built by Mr.. Gaze
sar, whose headquarters were in Rome
ut the time. 1t is the direct route
from London to Edinburgh and has
been Travelled for so many centuries
that the earliest histories of England
contain accounts OF the movement of
troops upon it. 1t is great thorough
fare for vehicles of all sorts, motor
lists and cyclists, and in these modern
days there are we'll worn footpaths
along either side for pedestrians. We
passed scores of motors. and | was
told while in England that the popu-
larity Of motoring had noticeably d.
minished the number of first class
travellers by rail We found the road
for its entire length OF 400 miles in
perfect condition. In many portions
the macadam Is said to be nine feet
thick. Long sections of the road are
oiled, and on no part Of it was there
any appreciable amount Of dust There
are few sharp curves. and the grades
are so slight that 1t has become a
great thoroughfare for speeders. with
the result that there are many police
traps for which one has to watch. We
found that we could stop in almost any
little village and get information as to
just where the traps were located-as
for instance, they told us at Bigles-
wade. which is a better looking place
than its name, to look out for traps

point E. 0. Dewey suggested that as "a
test vote had been taken and the con.
vention had expressed its sentiment the
balance of the delegates be elected by
acclamation. He also said that he fully
expected to be chosen delegate at the
district convention and expressed his
thanks to the friends in the convention
who wished to see him elected. An ex-
planation was also made concerning
the holding of the convention in this
city in October last, the approval of the
national committee having been secured
before the call was issued and the call
ing of the convention was not suggest
ed by Cong. Fordney. In fact, he at
first, opposed the same.
The other delegates were: James
Leggett, Perry; F. D. Clark, Vernon;
E. Q. Roberts, Durand; Amos Parmen-
ter, Shiawassee; G.. w. Mcclellan,

of Mr.. Barnes was presented he stated
to the convention that he wished no
misunderstanding as to his position,
that if elected he should vote for the
election of Eordney and Dewey as dis
trict delegates. Another nomination
was made but the delegates elected Mr..
Barnes by fine majority. The con-
vention showed its appreciation of O. L.
Sprague and the manly fight he made
in the convention by electing him by
acclamation, the Owosso township dele
cation withdrawing the name of E. o.
Place that this compliment might be
paid Mr. Sprague.

HUNT FOR A MURDERER
NEW ULM'S CRIME HAS NOT YET
BEEN SOLVED.
All Persons With UnSavory Reputa-
tions and Police Court Records
Are Under Eagle Eye.

New Ulm, Jan. 20.-The coroner's jury
i'll the Christian Walther murder case
will hold its third session as soon rs
the authorities have sifted down fur
Their evidence with a view of fastening
the crime on some one.
They are now convinced that the
murderer must have been some one
who had the confidence of the muir
dered man, as it was his habit for
many years to allow no one to enter
his home unless he was certain that he
knew the visitor. He always locked
his door and made observations from
a window facing the door. Thus fan
they have found no one whom they
connect with the crime.
During the second session of the
coroner's jury Mrs. Fred Walther
came forward with the statement that
on Tuesday prior to the finding of the
murdered man she was taken to New
Ulm by her husband and took an af-
ternoon train for Elkton, S. d., where
she visited a married daughter. She
said that she received telegram an
nouncing the death of her brother-in-
law on Thursday noon of the same
week, The murder was not discovered
until five o'clock in the afternoon. The
authorities have discovered, however
that the woman is mistaken in her
statement, and that the telegram was
sent after finding the murdered man.
1t developed at the hearing that her
son Fred Walther, Jr., drove her to
town and not her husband.
All persons with police court rec
ords and those who have borne more
was in the exports of fresh and
or less of an unsavory reputation
have been summoned by the coroner's
Jury and detectives have watched their
movements.

ADVERTISING THAT ANNOYS.

Here is something from The Wi
mona Republican Herald that will in
terest advertisers: The habit of ring
ing door bells by distributors of hand
bills to attract the attention has led
to the arrest of an offending party at
Richmond, Va. An item in The
Times Dispatch of that city says:
"Officers of the C. F. Sauer COM
pany were summoned to the police
court yesterday for allowing agents
to ring door bells to attract attention
to advertising matter left in yards
The justice held that this was a
disturbance of the peace, and fined
the company So, which was paid. The
decision met with evident popular APP
prevail. The justice intimated that the
next time people were bothered by
distributors of circulars and other adj
vertising devices he would make it a
case of trespass.'
Reckless annoyance of the public of
the sort indicated in the clipping does
vast harm to more legitimate adver-
Using. If the stuffing of letter-boxes
with circular matter of mondescript
and often Objectionable nature might
also be prohibited by the police JUS
tice of Richmond, that city would be-
come Utopian in character
Advertisement which creates resent
ment and annoyance is worse than
no advertising at all. For the price
of printing and distributing 10000 cir
culars in Richmond-and this number
is probably necessary to thoroughly
cover the city-a display advertise
ment might be placed in any one OF
the three excellent papers published
there, and the result would be fan
more satisfactory in all respects.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

According to figures compiled by the
North German Lloyd line, $llO,Oo0,-
600 was taken out of the United States
last year by aliens returning to their
former homes in Europe.
This computation is based on figures
furnished by steamship agents, money
changers and others in position to
be informed, and is made on the as
sumption that the average amount car
ried by returning foreigners is 5000
and that 550,045 immigrants returned
to their native land. 1t is estimated
that this 5000 will maintain him in
absolute idleness for year or more,
and when the money is gone he will
return.
A peculiar fact is that the returning
alien will not accept anything for his
American savings except the gold OF
his own country.

BEER HAS ITS TROUBLES.

Louis Silberschmidt of La Crosse,
president of the Upper Mississippi
Valley Brewmasters' association, de-
clared at a recent meeting of the
association that the arch enemies OF
beer were prohibition and whisky. In
the course of his remarks the presi-
dent said: "You are aware of the
agitation that is going on against our
industry all over the country. Now l
believe the time has arrived when the
brewers, brewmasters and all others
who are affiliated with this industry,
should get together and fight the ene-
my wherever he shows himself. 1 be-
lieve the dignified silence the brewers
have maintained thus far against the
onslaught of the prohibitionists should
be broken, and they should come out
in the open and defend their business
as well as any other legitimate bust
ness man should do. Now, when l say
fight the enemy, I mean whisky and
prohibition. ] believe that whisky
should be sold only in licensed drug
stores and, if necessary, only upon
presentation of doctors certificate.
The quicker the brewer breaks away
from whisky the quicker his troubles
will end, and the quicker this temper
ance question will be solved" Beer
is having an awful time keeping itself
out of troubles pathway.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

The severity of the losses of foreign
demands for canned meats is shown
by the government totals of exports,
which in 1903 were $6,S50,079, as
against $3,434,754 in 1906 and $2,333,-
$50 in 1907 However, the exports of
fresh beef in 1907 were S26, isl ,96S as
against S23,246,762 in 1905, and the
exports of hams in 1907 totaled $685.
529,337 as against $2l ,35S,567. 1t was
in the exports of fresh and picked
pork that the biggest gains in foreign
sales are shown, these being $l6,229,-
7SS for 1907 as against $9,S37,O29 for
1904. There was decline in the
total of exports of meats, dairy pro-
ducts and food animals from 1924 ,542,-
1884 in 1906 to $20S, 5,946, loss
of $l6,l26,43S. On the other hand the
exports of flour increased, the total
for 1906 being $5s,l30,25l as compared
with S64,642,323 for 1907, showing that
the purchasing power of foreign ma
tions was not less in 1907 than 1906.
The total exports show the same thing
-S967 ,33S,947 for 1907 as compared
with S729,34l,l5 for 1904. 1t was
the farmer who has scored the big
increase in exports, the total of bread
stuffs for 1904 being only $92,3ll,Sl2
as compared with the grand total of
1907 of $2O4, 459, 443.

LID ON SUNDAY WORSHIP.

The saloonkeepers of Waukesha,
Wis, have struck an entirely new
lead in their efforts to stand off
the ministers, who have become per-
niciously active in their efforts to
close the saloons on Sunday, says The
Minneapolis Journal. 1t is that the
Sunday church is violation of the
Sunday work law and should be pro-
hibited.
The preacher, the choir, the jaIiitor,
the boy who pumps the organ, the
ushers and the deacons who take up
the collection all come under the
ban of the Sunday law. Their efforts
are work, though the deacons could
probably testify truthfully that it
was pleasure to them to do their
part.
Is worship on Sunday illegal in Wis
consin? Here is a new and startling
issue. 1t may be brought into poll
ties. 1t may develop new under
handed independent vote. On the sur
face, of course, all parties will adopt
resolutions denouncing the idea that
Sunday worship is illegal. But will
the voters be held in line? Will the
independent who loves to lie abed
Sunday mornings vote as he "reso-
looted" or will he quietly plump for
the Sunday rest party?

IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.

Iron and steel manufactures export
ed from the United States made their
highest record in the calendar year
1907, the total being approximately
$200,000,0O0 dollars, against $63,0OO,-
600 in 1897, and $l6,5O0,00O in 1887.
The value of iron and steel manufac-
lures exported has increased more
than 200 per cent during the last de-
cade, while that of other merchan-
disc exported has increased less than
100 per cent.
While the exact figures for 1907
have not yet been received by the
bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of labor and commerce, the fig.
ures for eleven months justify the
statement that the total value of iron
and steel exports will approximate, if
not exceed $2OO,0OO,O00. In 1897 iron
and steel manufactures exported
formed but So per cent of the total
exports of domestic merchandise, and
in 1907, 1913 per cent. "a
Machinery of the various kinds
forms about one half of.g this total,
the total for 1907 aproximatings $685.
