within the last six years the State
has built a thousand miles of macadam
highways and is planning to build thou

other kind of highway will last without
constant repair and maintenance, and
the rapid deterioration of their surface
from any cause means the expenditure
of more money to maintain them.
The remarkable increase in the num-

LEGISLATURE and Public.

The state press has frequently said
hard things about our legislature, but
never anything like the things it is say
ing about the General Assembly which
closed its prolonged session this morn

The Randolph Herald even calls on
Percival Clement to assume the role of a
new Moses and lead the state out of the
wilderness. Somebody" it says, with
more interest in the welfare of the state
than of greedy individuals, must come
TO the front and lead in genuine re-
form. If p. w. Clement is the only
available man in whom the people have
confidence at this time, let him lead.
The state is mad-mad clear through.
One hears it everywhere-loud and in

Anthrax is Il disease common to cat

generally fatal. There have been sew

vine Tells How Fire Began.

Chicago, Ill. Dec. S.-Public refer
cnce on Sunday by preacher to the
story that Mrs. O'Leary's, COW kicked
over a lamp and caused the fire of 1871
that destroyed Chicago, called forth
another denial of the tradition yester-
ton from James O'Leary' former pool
room operation and son OF the owners
of the COW. The preacher had re-
hashed an old story that the COW re-
scented the attempt of three boys to
steal milk for punches and became so
recalcitrant that she upset lamp
and started the great fire.
The COW story has been told in many
