NEW WHEAT
j. B. Conley the First to
Market New Grain.

]. B. Conley, residing south of this
city. hauled the first load OF new
wheat for the season to the mill of
the Marion National Milling company
on North Prospect street Wednesday
afternoon. SO far as is known this
is the first wheat to be threshed in
the county this season and the grain
is Of very good kind. He received
$1.07 per bus1el for the wheat.
For the most part the old wheat
which has been used from last year
is all sold and but little is being kept
at the mills here. The new wheat in
general is not turning out to the
complete satisfaction OF the farmers
but is very good considering the COM
ditions. Mr.. Conley has a large
amount of wheat this year and is haul
ing the grain to market daily.

John Began Passes Away at
Bucyrus Home
Mr.. Began Was Born In Marion Coun-
" and For Several Years Resided
In This City.

John Began, VINO was seriouely in
jured in fall as the result of a
broken scaffold on which he was
working while repairing the Reformed
church at Bucyrus some time ago died
at that place Tuesday and funeral
services were conducted there this af-
ternoon. Began was born in Marion
county and resided here during the
early years OF his life. He was en-
ployed as carpenter.
He was raised on farm In this
county and after living in this city
several years moved to North Robin
son and thence to Bucyrus. where he
made his home with relatives. He
was married Mt North Robinson. For
some years he was connected with
the T. and O. c. at Bucyrus as a car
penter He has many friends in this
city who will remember him.
At the time of the accident Began
was working on the steeple of the
Reformed church at Bucyrus doing
carpenter work and when the scaf-
folding gave way he was precipita-
ted to the ground. His injuries were
very serious ard his death was ex-
pected at any time. The accident oc-

rest of his life. His physicians have
advised him to keep in the open air
all that is possible and for that rea-
son he is making the trip overland. He
told Mr.. Leeper that he is suffering
from consumption and does not expect
to live longer than the fall. He had
every symptom of being in the last
stages of the disease.
After looking ut the old well and
te interior of the old homestead, Bar
nett bade adieu to those whom he
had talked with and started south,
planning to go to Waldo where the
body of his mother Is inferred. Those
with whom he talked knew nothing of
the whereabouts of his relatives and It
is thought that he believes them all
dead. After visiting old places, dear
to his youth, he will start for Flor
ida. hoping to reach there before the
cold weather and to die in the land
of sunshine.

Excellent progress Is being made
in the preliminary survey of the Lit

line has been run to point hve
miles south of the point where the
river enters the county while the
second squad having the leveling and
the making of the cross sections In

a mile.
According to the surveyor the pre-

MIR. Ault stated to the Mirror to-
day that he is very highly pleased
with the way the work is progress
ing. "The farmer along the line as
interested in the project and are as
sisting US in every way. have con-
ferred with every farmer through
whose property the river runs and
each has told me how he would like
the course laid. In every case l have
done as nearly as / could what they
requested and we have gotten along
nicely. / would like to request other
farmers to make their desires known
to me as we proceed down the
stream.
"You have no real idea of the con-
dition of the stream nor can you gain
such without actually seeing 1t. 1t Is
badly choked with trees. underbrush,

everything else you may think of.

will flow through a new bed for a
quarter of mile or more but the new
bed will serve the purpose of mile

1t is the purpose of Mr.. Ault to
rush the work through to completion,
He Will make no estimate of the
probable cost until the preliminary

How I wish ! could have been here
to have seen my brother, to have talk
ed with him of his mother and of his
life" tearfuily said Mrs. Wesley Cook,
of 263 North Seffner avenue, this
morning when she visited the Frank
Detwiler home on South Prospect
street, where her brother V. r. Bar
nett took drink at the well, inspected
the house and passed on after walking
over 1000 miles to see the place of his
birth before he died.
Reading of the visit of a stranger
to the Detwiler home in the Mirror
last night Mrs. Cook says she knew at
once that the stranger who refused
to tell his name, was her brother who
left here almost a century ago. she
then commenced a search for him,
using telephone and telegraph to To-
cate him. 1hus far she has been un-
successful. but she Is praying that
her search may be rewarded and that
she may be united with the brother
for whom she has hundreds of times
prayed and for whom their mother
asked for on her death bed.
Mrs. Detwller was not at home
when Mrs. Cook called at the old
homestead, but William Leeper, a
neighbor, who talked with Barnett
told the sister of the meeting. Al

INTERESTED IN
GOOD ROADS

For some time past the officials OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad company
have been carrying ON Il campaign OF
their own in behalf of good roads and
rs means thereto have been advocating
the use of the split log drag as the
most thorough and economical means
of bringing dirt roads up to something
like a standard of excellence. Road
making in the rural districts became
feature of interest with the Pennsyl-
yania and other railroads owing to the
fact that the farmers and other rural
patrons are frequently debarred from
getting to freight stations by bad
roads. This affects the traffic of the
railroads which derive no small per-
centage of their incomes from the
farmers bushel of wheat and bag OF
potatoes, his bale of hay and so ON.
In addition to freight traffic, farm
ers furnish large amount of pasSeng-
er traffic to all the railroads OF this
country. All the means the railroads
propose to use to aid the farmers in
bringing the roads over which they
reach the stations to a better state OF
efficiency is not disclosed so far, but it
has become evident that the good roads
campaign has arrested the attention
of the Pennsylvania officials.
The late A. J. Cassatt was most
persistent fighter for good roads, and
both during and before his presidency
of the Pennsylvania, held office or road
supervisor in one of the townships of
Montgomery county, where he MAIN
tained a legal residence. Other Penn
sylvania officials also have taken a
deep interest in the roads in the sub
urban districts Of Philadelphia where
many of them reside. This interest
has spread TO practically every part OF
the system.
Mr.. Carson, general superintendent
of the Northern Central railway and
the Erie division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, like Mr.. Myers, his predeces-
sor, is notable good roads man. Mr..
Lincoln, the official head of the Will
Transport division is an enthusiast on
the question of good roads. Mr.. Lin
coin, since he has become the owner
and driver of an automobile, has given
the road question careful study and as
some ideas on the subject which he is
willing to impart for the purpose of
aiding local pathmasters in improving
conditions of the roads under their
jurisdiction. As the owner of mag
nificent farm in another State Mr..
Lincoln is keenly alive to the import
ance of good country roads from prac-
tical knowledge of what bad roads
mean to the farmer

DANv|LLE WON IN
L|STLESS GAME

Listless was the game between Dan
vile and Nescopeck Susquehanna
league teams, this and last years S
champions, here Tuesday afternoon
which ended in score of 4 to /, in
favor of the locals.
The game started out to be dandy
with neither side scoring for four in
nings. Then Danville scored in the
fifth and Nescopeck got single one in
the sixth, and about that time the con-
test went to seed A dispute over a
ball bunted by Dooley, which struck
fair, hit the batter and rolled foul, and
on which the Danville catcher was
given his base, put such crimp i'll
Ross Shipe's feelings that he started
giving the game away. That happen
ed in the seventh, and Danville scored
two runs
There was some compensation. jim
mie Beard, who can give cards and
spades in any position from center
| field to back stop, served up the sizzl-
ers during the first six innings for
Danville. While pitching is not right
/ in Jimmie's line just now, he showed
that he has a few tricks by allowing
| but 3 hits, administering strike outs
and giving but four bases on balls.
"Peck" Rove finished up the last
three chapters without hit and fan
ned five.
Honey McCloud, of Danville and
"Pinkie" Fowler, of Nescopeck, did
the umpiring, and while the game
started out as love feast, u number
of long drawn out kicks added to the
WEAKNESS of the spectators before the
end.
Nescopeck's only run was made il
the sixth. Yohe reached first on Thorn
as error Of hard catch. He was
sacrificed to second by Lavelle, and
scored on wild throw to first by Hess
Danville opened the scoring with al
earned run in the fifth. Mackert sing
