200 PRISONERS TO
 JAIL THIS MONTH

During the first ten days of October the number of arrests made by the police de- partment is estimated to have been be- tween 250 and 300. An even 200 new prisoners were committed to the city jail up to 12 o'clock last night while there were a number of other arrests where the offenders of the law were permitted to make bond without being taken to jail.
 Other than cases of disorderly con- duet. 20 per cent of which the police claim grow out of drunkenness, charges of drunkenness were more numerous than others. The warden's docket at the city jail records 45 cases of dsorderly con- duet and 40 cases of drunkenness.

The Blue Creek road must be joined with the Tuscaloosa road at Yo- lande. We have four miles more to com plete beyond Wylam which will be quite expensive, and there are roads In every section of the county which will get at tention as fast as our finances allow. We have a road in mind in the direction of Leeds and hope to finish it before our time Is out.
 However, when we look at what At lanta is doing, when we see Los Angeles issuing S10,000,000 in bonds for the con struction of good roads, it becomes evil dent, that the only way to build perma- nent modern roads is to issue enough bonds to do it all at once. l believe the time is ripe for a s1,0o0000 bond issue in Jefferson county. great many people think this is big pile which will have to come out of their pockets. but 1t won't cost the taxpayer any more to pay the interest than to be throwing the money away in little roads and thousands each year for repairs on dirt and work roads.

and he bore her back into his retreat
under the bushes
His vengeance was glutted-now to
escape the consequences of his crime.
He knew that If left there, the body
would be speedily discovered, and from
his previous relations with the girl, and
traced down.
He had forseen that, however, and
had made his plans, bringing with him
a large portmanteau TO the spot
Let US draw veil over his subse-

that, having secreted the girls clothing
at a spot some distance away, where he

he lifted the pOrtmanteau and watching
his opportunity, left the park with II

Guido Santo was the tall man with

an Eighth avenue car, and transferred
at Twenty-third street.
Robert Graham at that same time
was at 149th street on the East Side;
but as the elevated is faster than the

were fellow passengers on the ferry

Old man Corlett, looking ten years

oh, well" the old man consoIed
him. perhaps YOU can use it on some
body else's case"
And therein he spoke more probheti-
cally than he knew, for the contention
raised by Robert has been made an es-
tablished doctrine OF our higher courts.
and many and many a time has Graham
had occasion 10 use it in handling cases
for the big corporations.

not think the straightaway fight from

must make the first turn is long enough.

Much speed Is lost on the turns, and
the machine must be In the air at least
fifteen or twenty feet, to avoid scraping
the ground. and his height is hard to
attain on so short a stretch from the

No Flight Yesterday.
A four-mile an hour breeze which
blew down the monOrail prevented a
flight last evening. Had II been against
the machine there would have been no
difficulty In obtaining favorable start,
but as IL was Orville decided against

disappointed spectators, including Secre-
tary Of War Dickinson, Quartermaster
