Paris, May 12.-Paris todey resem-
bles a city in state of siege. During
the night troops took possession Of

even in the sewers of the city to pre-
vent the cutting of wires. Further.
more. 500 military telegraphers and
several hundred automobiles have

Mr.. McLaurin chided the Repub-
licans with having abandoned the
theory that the foreigner pays the tax
and asked who did pay the tax If the
duty did not raise the price.
Mr.. Lodge insisted that the destruc-
tion of American manufacturing would
result in the destruction of a cores
ponding portion of the worlds compe-
tition and made the point that even
under free trade prices of commodi-
ties would not be reduced in the long
run.
MIR. Cummins offered several amend
ments to the window glass schedule,
saying they were intended to prevent
In the future any combination among
manufacturers or. others in that In
dustry from putting up prices. He
said at this time the domestic price
of such glass is less than the duty
added to the cost of manufacturing the
product, so that competition was fix
ing the price to the consumer.
An animated colloquy occurred be-
tween the Iowa senator and Senator
William Alden Smith, Mr.. Smith de-

der obligation to do.

Mr.. Smith, land I have no apology to
make for that vote. The senator
from Iowa, fearing some possible

ers in the future, wishes to bring
the foreign manufacturer little near

and DR.. A. ]. Coon, to perform an
autopsy.
Poison in Sfamach.

In the stomach of the child traces
OF laudanum were found. Later the
stomach was sent to Georgetown hos
pital for analysis. The jury returned
verdict of death from a dose of lau-
danum, given by the hand of Frances
Williams.
.e< FROM the statement Of Mrs. Collins,
T0n.. Is grief-stricken, it appears that
H. Hca, a hen which wanted to set,
ant " 'ent the colored girl to a
neigh. 00c,. get eggs. The girl re-
turned ". Nef, eggs. and during Mrs.
Collins an> - from the room
punched a ht.e in the end of each
egg. When Mrs. Collins returned she
scolded the girl for her prank.
A little later Mrs. Collins went to
the neighbours to get second lot of
eggs, leaving the girl in charge of
her two children-a girl two years
old and a baby boy. She was gone
but few minutes, when she returned
and found the baby in deep sleep.
All efforts to arouse the child failed,
so in desperation she sent for DR..
Smallwood, who in turn called in DR..
Coon. The physicians said the child
had been poisoned with laudanum.
They worked over the infant for sew
eral hours, using heroic efforts to re-
vive him, but the child remained un-
conscious, succumbing at midnight
Friday.
Had Scolded Girl.
Mrs. Collins said that when she
went out for the eggs the baby was
in his crib, and that the girl stood
near by trying to make him laugh.
She had never known Frances to be
cross with either of the children in
the six months she had been employ
ed. On the contrary, she had always
manifested much affection for both Of
the little ones. The oldest child was
in the room all the time Mrs. Collins
was out of the room, according to the
colored girl.
Mrs. Collins said that shortly after
the first child was born an old nurse
told them to get laudanum and keep
1t in the house, as it was good to
give to children when they could not
sleep.
DR.. Smallwood was called in short
time after the laudanum was pur-
chased, and, seeing it, he ordered it
put away, and warned the mother nev-
er to give it to any one. Mrs. Collins
said she placed the bottle, which had
never been opened, on the top shelf
of the cupboard, and that she had
seen it but day or two before, still
intact.
Bottle Hidden Away.
When the authorities, including
Sheriff j. R. Allison and Justice Farr,
first went to the home thew were un-
able to find the bottle. The girl was
questioned, and she declared she
knew nothing of it; that she had never
seen it. Later, it was found under a
box in the cupboard, together with a
spoon. When the bottle was found
three teaspoonfuls.-, had been taken
from it. DR.. Smallwood says that
three drops would have killed the in
fant.
J. N. Carter, who lives near the
Collins home said Frances Williams
worked for him when he was living
in Washington, and that he discharged
her for cutting pair of his trousers
and other wearing apparel while in a
fit of rage.

Washington, May 12.-Mr. Aldrich
looks a little worried. Perhaps he's
only bored. Men who stand at his ell
bow say that so far he isn't able to
count majority for his bill. He
must have forty-six votes to pass it.
While he can use Democrats in adopt
ing his schedules, he does not and
cannot count on them for support for
the final roll call that is to adopt or
defeat the entire bill. MIR. Aldrich,
on that last vote, looks for the Demo-
Gratis to present against him an un-
broken front.

The ROADS.
a Short Talk to the Tax Pduers
and Road Builders OF Wayne
COUNTY,.

THE ROADS, This is and
ough, to be very important sub.
Ject to us all, for we all know the
condition OF our roads. We can
learn what money is expended, why
we do not manage TO get our mou.
ey's worth on the roads In work and
not so much of il IN time on the
road. Let us all set the resolution
and work TO 1T, and put the PROPER
TOOLS OUT ON OUR ROADS and work
them right and at reasonable cost
and we will all be pleased in a few
years 10 see how much better roads
we will have at no more cost than
the old-fashioned way of working,
with pillow and scraper. Perhaps
some may think I am talking a little
loud, but | am one among many of
the taxpayers and am anxious to
see good roads. This last winter /
TOOK road to build from Sweet
Run 90 Ceredo, a distance OF near
two miles. A great many persons
were guessing at the probable cost
of this road and the most of them
guessed wild. Some estimated the
work would cost $1,000, 9TH
ers SO, 600; but the actual cost
of work done on said road, from
Sweet Run to the corporation line
OF Ceredo, was just s467.3O. If the
reader will examine the road and
see what work was required TO build
1t he will very soon see whether or
not there was any money spent un-
necessarily. If there is road
builder in this section who thinks
he could do the job, or a similar
one. for less money, would like to
know his name and where he ever
built road any cheaper, or as
cheap, for the tax payers of this
county.
We often hear many finding fault
with the county court for spendin Q
so much money in building roads
and almost in the same breath, as il
were, charge them with the bad
roads we have to travel. Now, iet
us stop and think for a few mo-
ments. Did any OF us ever see the
court out on road managing the
construction of a new road or man.
aging the working of the roads we
now have? Why don't we find
fault with those who are managing
the work and spending the money Z?
DO you think our money is spent to
The best ADVANTAGE Do YOU think
what is expended is done in the
right way to get the best roads for
the least money? This is very
important question. Let all OF us
think more about this and when any
OF US undertake TO spend the pub
lie money IN the way of building
new roads, or working the old ones,
see that we have the proper tools
when we get ready to commence
and then see that the work is done
for the least money.
Perhaps ! am the only one among
many WHO has built n piece of road
in this community and then publish
ed the cost of same. Why is it.?
Why don't we all make known the
amount Of the publIc's money we
spend2
