seer had as we'll not present his
claim to the county judge. 1t

This brings out the idea that
there is no system of road work
in Sharp county. There are
nineteen townships in the county
and nineteen overseers, conse-
quently our roads are worked &C.
cording to nineteen different
ideas.
No sane individual would con-
duet his private business affairs
as loosely as Sharp county tran
sacts it's business with the road
overseers. No other branch Of
the oounty's business is as little
looked after by the authorities.
Claims are presented to the
county court for work put on the
roads and these claims are allow
ed; that's all. There is no one
to go over the roads and deter
mine that the work is done and
done substantially; worth paying
for. The individual who would
conduct his business affairs in
such a way would become poorer
every day. The county that will
do it may expect to get buncoed,
The editor OF this paper has for
years been convinced that but
little progress will be made in
building good roads in Sharp
county until the county elects a
competent, practical man as road
commissioner. Extreme care
should be used in the selection
of such a commissioner, but
good man in this place would be
the first step toward good roads
in this county. 1t doesn't stand
to reason that we will never have
good roads under the methods
now employed. We never will,

PUCCINI VERY NERVOUS
OVER HIS NEW OPERA

Rome.-Glacomo Puccini, always
nervous, is more than ever so now as
the time for his exit for New York
to produce "The Girl of the Golden
West" is growing nearer
He has learned with pleasure that
Nine. Destinn and Caruso and Anna
to are to interpret the leading char
acters of the new opera, but he is as
much agitated over the details of
presentation a. ever. Friends who
have visited him at his villa at Bagni
Di Luci, in the Tuscan hills, say that
his nervousness is almost distressing,
and they are trying to disuade him
fiom encountering the worries of re-
hearsals in New York.
The composer is taking the matter
so much to heart that he is showing
age, and New Workers will see a very
much older looking man than he was
when he visited there in 1906.

TWO DEPUTY GAME
WARDENS APPOINTED

Two deputy game wardens are to
fill the place recently made vacant
by the resignation of o. F. Aurner.
This was the announcement made in
this city Saturday by State Game War
den r. o. Stevenson, who was here
for the purpose of making the an
nouncement. The two new deputies
are James Estes and Doc Maple of
this city.
stevenson explained that owing to
the large amount of territory to be
covered, it was next to impossible to
do it right and for that reason he
thought it best to appoint two men.
He said that he would also use them
in connection with the goose hunting
along the Columbia river.
Both Maple and Estes were appli-
cants for the position and had been
highly recommended by many local
sportsmen. 1t is believed that they
will both put forth special efforts to
enforce the game laws and endeavor
in every way possible to preserve the
game from ruthless slaughter during
the closed season.

well to American visitors as to Paris
ians as La Morgue, is to disappear.
Until about two years ago, when Il
was closed to the public. the morgue
was one Of the sights. and was duly
mentioned as such in the guide
books, so that American tourists in
Paris seldom missed a visit TO 1t, its
proximity to Notre Dame being very
convenient.
At all times from early morning un-
til dusk an incessant stream of men,
women and children passed in front
OF the large panes of glass behind
which were exhibited the bodies of
unknown persons found dead or mur-
dered in the streets or dragged from
the river beneath.
The hiddiousness of the sight was
added to by the clatter Of feet and
the chatter of voices of children, who,
with the convenience of it's two doors,
made playground for hide and
seek on the small space in front of the
lugubrious glass case. But the fact
that the ever-moving semf-circle of
visitors, who came in by one door
and went out by the other, came
there more out of curiosity than with
intentions of identifications caused
the authorities to decide to close the
doors so that the morgue is no long
er a place of public interest, and the
unknown are no longer gazed upon by
thousands Of people from all parts
Of the world. Since that time 1t has
stood more dismal-looking than ever,
solitary and lifeless.
The history of the morgue is a long
one. 1t was first instituted in the
fourteenth century, and since then
has been connected with many famous
crimes and tragedies During the
revolution hundreds Of corpses were
sent there. many of them headless.
Later, during the struggles of 1S4s
and 1851, and during the siege of the
Commune, countless. bodies were car
ried in carts and literally stacked
under the roof of the island mortu-
ary
