Hutchinson, Kan, July s.-Death,
presumably from cigarette poison.
came to Daniel Cherry, 40 years Of
age, shortly after noon. Seen about a
half hour before he appeared to be
in the best of spirits. After he had
eaten a hearty dinner, he went to the
rear of Welchon's livery barn. where
he was employed as a hostler, and
ing board, he was found dead.
Dick Weir, a former police officer,
was passing by and noticed the man
with features set and a pa1lid look on
his face. He spoke to other employees
of the barn and they merely laughed.
He went towards the man as if to
awaken him and found him dead.
Cherry was a cigarette fiend of the
worst type. DR.. Schoor, the coroner,
was notified and viewed the body. He
decided that death had come by a sud
den attack of heart trouble brought
on by frequent use Of cigarettes.

From The World of Wednesday:
The forty thousand dollar bond is
sue won out handsomely at the spe
cial election in this city yesterday
The necessary three-fifths OF all the
ballots cast favored the bond issue
with some to spare-in fact three
fourths or rs per cent of the tota,
vote endorsed it. The victory for the
levy of five cents to pay the interest
on the bonds and to create a sinking
fund for their final redemption was
equally decisive. The levy, however
only required a majority vote to carry
1t will be noticed in the above figures
that eleven more men voted against
the levy than the bond issue, while
the vote for the levy was II less.
The result of the election could moi
be other than exceedingly gratifying
to the city council. the board OF az
fairs and to all the many other advo
vocates of the public measure, so that
it may be said that there is general
rejoicing over the victory.
The next thing now is to advertise
the sale OF the bonds. 1t is con
fidently believed that the bonds will
be quickly snapped up by capitalists
as first class investment.
The vote yesterday was lighter than
either the friends or the opponents OF
the bond issue and special levy ex
pected. This was in part due to the
Indifference of that element in every
community who think nothing is
worth while, and then some hadn't
time to go to the election. The op
position put up pretty stiff fight
against the bond issue, though they
only got 25 per cent of the total vote
cast.
1t is noteworthy fact that the
bond issue and levy carried in every

meant Charles p. Light, West Vir

money alone would bring good roads
He declared the work on which they
were launched big one and said tina;

each engineer must have in him the
right kind Of stuff. He was literally
applauded.
Congressman Hubbard, whom Judge

remarks, began with "if the court

occasion. He knew that because
Charley Light was serious and it took
a serious occasion to have that sort
or effect on the road engineer. He
praised the good roads movement
launched on this occasion and embrac-
ed the opportunity to throw a few bou.
quets in the direction OF DR.. I. c.

his hand on Mr.. Light he declared
that this brilliant young man would
make his name great If he would say

NOTABLES GATHER
AT PARKERSBURG
Prominent West virginians At

GOVERNOR GLASSC0Ck AND
CONGRESSMAN PRESENT

Charles p. Light, Road Commissioner
OF This City, Was Present, and De-
Iivered Ringing Speech-congress-
man Hubbard Makes Some Good
Natured Remarks.
Parkersburg, Dec. 16.-There was
notable gathering at the Elks club
last evening when the Parkersburg
Automobile Club rendered a banquet
to the distinguished visitors who are
In the city attending the state road
engineers meeting. The guest list in
cIuded the governor of West Virginia,
Hon. w. E. Glasscock, two congress
men from Ohio, two congressman
from West Virginia and several other
prominent men of the two states not
to speak of a delegation of the leading
citizens of Parkersburg.
The banquet and speechfest lasted
three hours and was presided ever by
Judge Hunter f. Moss, jr., who was
the happy selection as POSTMASTER
for the evening. Good roads was the
principle theme of the talk and those
present heard the matter discussed
frora every standpoint and secured
many valuable pointers"
OF the afterdinner part it can be
said that the three hours were inter
estlng from the first minute to the
last. Fifty-seven different phases OF
the road situation in the state were
discussed and threshed over.
To enliven the meeting were two
interesting little brushes on the roads
subject which would have been a
credit to the congress of the United
States. In one of them no less a
parsonage than the governor of the
state and the state geologist were the
opposing champions, while in the 9th
er the two county road engineers OF
Wood and Richie counties presented
the merits of the types of highway
for which they stand.
From men in high official positions
from private citizens, from the COVER
nor of the state, from congressman
from the two big states of Ohio and
West Virginia came expressions in
favor OF good reads.
Hon w. E. Glasscock in a pithy ad.
dress became the President Taft of
the road improvement scheme when
he told the road engineers and the
good roads enthusiasts that the idea
OF building brick roads in the state
at present was impossible He deprc-
Gated the impression that he was try
ing to throw cold water on the prop
osition but declared that in his judg-
ment the question would have to be
solved in another way.
President w. T. Carter called upon
Parkersburg's ideal toast master,
Judge Mess, to preside over the
speechifying. He acquitted himself
in characteristic manner adding one
more laurel to his record in this kind
OF work. Judge Moss called the ban
quet commercial meeting, declaring
that its fruits were sure to be big.
The meeting, he said was fraught
with great Importance to the public
at large mentioning the good roads
and bridge promoters as certain to be
able to accomplish much for the city
He was given an enthusiastic recep-
ton.

Moss said, "Now. wen turn on the
