For Better Roads
Open Forum ror Suggestion and In
formation Helpful to the Cause.

Miss Leoni McMillen sends us the
following .sclipping from The Ohio
State Journal, published at Columbus,
and bearing on live topic in Oska-
loosa just now:
Special interest centers in the COM
ing sessions OF the second annual ma
Cional good, roads convention to be
acid in Cleveland September y, ~
md %, because OF the fact that Column
bus has model roads now under con-
strutcion in Nelson avenue, embody-
ing the various methods in use to lay
the dust and to furnish smooth and
durable roadbed, all of which are to
be discussed at the Cleveland meet
ing.
In speaking of the approaching
meeting, George w. Lattimer, treas
lrer of the Ohio good roads fedora
ion, and a man fully conyersant with
the situation in the United States, last
night said: The old fashioned macad-
amized road is doomed because it has
proved unsatisfactory. In New York,
or instance, it has been entirely
abandoned. The growing tendency Is
10 use a concrete base, finished with
,arvia-a composition OF tar and oil
Or asphalt with, the surface rolled
and hardened. This is entirety differ
snt from the oiling process, which is
uow being extensively used What
we want is road that will shed wat
sr and resist the suction Of automo-
bile wheels. This is recent devel-
opment. Automobiles wear ruts in
the road and cause wearing away
Of the base by reason of the suction
power of the wheels on the gravel.
Among the many interesting
Kings to be discussed at the Cleve-
prominent. No subject at the pres
ent time possesses such widespread
interest to the motorist, the farmer
driving to town with his produce and
indeed, everyone on the highway, as
hat of dustless roads. Provost Hub
bard, the United States chemist in the
office OF public roads, will explain the
many difficulties in dealing with this
problem, in addition to showing the
degree of success obtained in various
practical experiments in a paper on
Bituminous Road Materials Logan
Waller Page. director of the United
States office Of public roads, will
bring out some sharp contrasts in mis-
discussion of the road situation in the
United States as compared with for
eiga countries, The farmers interest
in road Improvement will be present
ed by the Hon. t. c. Laylin, master of
the Ohio State grange In this con-
nection' it ID Interesting to note that
in many sections of the country far
mers are now using wide steel tires,
thus preventing the cutting up of or
binary roads due to the constant use
of narrow tires.
The papers and discussions on
these important road problems will be
supplemented by many practical tests
OF the highways in and around Cleve-
land. There will be also an exhibit
ton of road-making machinery, the
largest of its kind that has ever been
in the United States, afford
ing engineers and highway commits
sioners an opportunity to study every
appliance used in road construction"

WAS KNOWN IN BEACON
Brother of Founder of Peoples
Church Lived There.

DR.. H. w. Thomas, of Chicago, the
noted pulpit orator and pastor OF the
famous Peoples Church." Of Chicago,
of which he was the founder, died last
Thursday at De Funiak Springs, Flor
ida, at the age of II years. The
BODY was brought to Chicago for fun
erai and interment, which occurred
yesterday. ~a FLA. a1r.| H.
Dr.. Thomas was formerly connected
with the Methodist Episcopal church
OF the Iowa Conferences, and filled
numerous appointments in the state.
He was a student at Iowa Wesleyan
university at Mt. Pleasant before APP
pointment. He took advanced ground
upon some of the orthodox teachings
of the church and following trial
upon the charge Of heresy was eX-
PEELED from the ministry membership
in the Methodist Episcopal church in
1879. The trial was countrywide
sensation and the minister was sup
ported by some of the ablest men of
the land at that time. Following his
expulsion he was urged to establish
an Independent church, which he did,
and for twenty-five years had one of
the largest followings in Chicago. He
retired from the ministry in 1902 since
which time he has devoted his years
to writing and featuring. His Origin
and Destiny of Man." and Life and
Sermons" are widely read and well
known books.
DR.. Thomas was Of Welsh parentage
and was brother of the Rev. S. II.
Thomas, who for an extended term of
years was minister of the NJ. E.churCh
of Beacon and who for four years
was postmaster at that place. DR..
Thomas visited with his brother dur
ing his residence at Beacon and was
present upon the occasion of the fun
eral. He was known to many people
of that community and of Oskaloosa.
This was while William Beardsley
was still a resident of the place, and
DR.. Thomas was guest of the
Beardsley home.
The Chicago Record-Herald in an
extended notice of the mans death
has the following:
"Dr. Thomas retained his marvel
Gus mental powers up to the time of
his death. He never was out of touch
with advanced thought, and as late as
June IL last, writing from De Kuniak
to The Record-Herald,h pennei what
probably was his last message to the
world touching matters of religion
What DIR. Thomas then wrote showed
that he still held to the views that
caused him to be accommodated
from the Methodist church thirty
years ago. His letter to The Record
Herald was prompted by the attempt
to expel Professor George Burman
Foster of.tthe University of Chicago
from othe Chicago Baptist Ministers
Conference. boot AZ
The letter, which ended with a
clear-cut Endorsement of the writings
OF Professor Foster. was devoted
mainly to an attack on various ortho-
dox religious teachings.
Referring to the refusal of many
persons longer to accept the early
teaching OF orthodoxy, DR.. Thomas
wrote:
There may be some excuse or ex-
PLANTATION at least for these things in
the darker past, but we have come in
TO the larger light Of these great
years; the mind Of man is asserting
its rights to see and think for Itself.
Great changes are coming in the
world Of religious beliefs, not only in

Rurlinaton Going Good.

Burlington is going good right now
and seems to be recovering from her
slump. The shifting of Burg to third
and placing Andrews at short is a
stronger combination than Donovan
at third and Burg on short. The
Burlington club is now going at a
fast clip and will give Keokuk and
Hannibal a race for the rag.
