ROADS AND DRAINAGE.

B. F. Tilton, the we'll known Cresco
township farmer and horse breeder,
has made up his mind that what Kos
suth county roads need is the same
treatment given the roads back where
he came from in Illinois. In Illinois
the ditch is on the extreme outer edge
of the broad roadway and the dirt is
carried to the middle of the road by a
large road grader which has carrier
something like a straw carrier on a
thTesiling machine. THE grader Is
drawn by a steam engine nowadays
but it is used to require twenty teams
of horses to pull the huge machine. Mr.
Tilton says, the ditch being some dis
lance from the grade, the latter is not
constantly soaked with water and
therefore dries out quicker than our
grades. Besides being drain for roads
the ditch serves as a drain for ad-
jacent lands. and is considered of great
value for farm drainage. These grad
ers cost several thousand dollars but
Mr.. Tilton thinks it would be a splendid
investment for Kossuth county where
the roads need so much betterment.
and almost every farm is in need of
of drainage.
SCIENCE AND THE sLAv WOMAN.
[Belle PLANE Unionl
Not in recent times have scientific
experts been so dumfounded, so hu-
inflated and so confused, as when
live men We're brought forth from
the Cherry mine. Seven days in a
living tomb, shut in by fire and
smoke that swept like a holocaust
thru the galleries of the mine. starved
for food and parched with thirst
breathing the foul and fetid atmos-
phere of an air tight cavern, weak and
emaciated, they lived to teach man
kind the folly of egotism and the un-
certainty of human calculations.
The lamp of science has lighted the
feet of men thru centuries of marvellous
progress. Scientific investigation and
research has multiplied the blessings
and the opportunities of humanity. But
occasionally an interpretive flash light
reveals primitive instincts more de-
pendable in a crisis than all the cum
ulative wisdom of the ages.

Detroit, Oct. 12.-Detroit evened VI
the contest in the worlds champion
ship baseball series today, winning
the fourth game from Pittsburg by
the decisive score of to Q, and ad-
ministering a clean cut defeat over
the Pirates.
Detroit outclassed Pittsburg in every
department. today. The feature OF the
game was Pitcher George Mullins
phenomenal slab work. He held the
pirates to four scattered hits, all
singles, and proved invincible with
men on bases. He pitched a sharp
breaking ball that was unhittable and
which made the heavy hitters of the
Pittsburg team look like amateurs as
they vainIy swung at the ball.
On the other hand, Detroit made
hits when hits meant runs, driving
Lefty Liefield from the box In the
fourth inning, after a total OF five
runs had been scored, three in this
inning, following fusillade OF hits.
Clarke then sent in Phillippi to stem
the tide. He stopped the scoring, but
too late to save the game, as Detroit
had already secured a commanding
lead.
Today's game was witnessed by the
largest crowd ever gathered at the De-
troit ball park. Although the sun was
shining, it was very cold. The fans
were encouraged by Detroit's rallies
of yesterday and their hopes were
not in vain, as today's score shows.
1t was announced last night by
Chairman Hermann, of the National
Baseball commission that Clarke,
Leach and Camnitz, Of the Pirates,
had each been fined $25 for talking
back to Umpire OLaughlin yesterday.
This is the first time that the players
were ever fined in world series.
So great have been the receipts at
the four games so far played. that it
is now certain the players will divide
between $65,OOO and $4,000 as their
share of the receipts.
