O'NEILHs VIEWS ON ROADS.
County Commissioner Corrects a State
ment Recently Made.

IAN article published in a Topeka
paper a few days ago misstated my
views concerning the use of gravel for
road improvement in this county," said
County Commissioner Edwin L. O'Neill
today. 1.-THE thing that 1 am really OBJ
jecting to is the further expenditure
of county funds until our roads are put
in shape for permanent improvement
by the use of graders and road drags,
and after they have been properly
drained and cuts and frills made wher-
ever needed. consider that we are go
ing at the road business in this county
upside down, backwards, or in other
words we've got our cart before the
horse.
wouldn't it be idiotic for the city
commissioners to authorize pavement
of a street, and then let the contractor
go and throw on a coat of sand on top
of that a layer of brick or crushed
stone, another coat of sand. and then
top 1t with course of brick without
first establishing grade, and making
excavations of dirt? Well, that's about
the way we are going at this road bus
mess.
What I am advocating now and
what l want the board to do is to
abandon the further use of gravel until
we have first made some roads, and
roadbeds, dirt roads 1 mean, and I
am Convinced that by putting on a
force of 1ren with graders, rollers and
King road drags on LONE stretches of
roads we can give the travelling public
ten miles of good roads to where we
can give them one under our present
system.
81 am not against gravel as a road
material but when we put it down
there should be an excavation of to
10 inches, the bed thoroughly rolled, and
then the gravel filed in. The excava-
ted dirt could be used in making fills,
and otherwise improving the road in
general. 1 would be in favor of the
county investing in 20 or 30 good road
drags and a few good graders and then
giving the people some roads,

JAILER IS CAUSE OF GRIEF.
He Leads Party and Arrests Liquor
Seller Who Pleads Guilty.

When man is jailer at the police
station he doesn't have much chance
at distinguishing himself in the num-
Der of arrests made. for it isn't ex-
pected that he shall make any. But
AL Hopkins. doing little extra work
out of hours Saturday night, was in
strumental in bringing grief to the
door of William Webb at 1912 Quincy
street and in transferring the key of
beer from which several of Webb's
customers were RECALLING themselves, to
the police station. Not only that but
Webb pleaded guilty to keeping a null
sance, a rare occurrence in police
court, an unusual thing as ordinarily
the jointist prefers to appeal to the
district court in the hope that some
technicality will save him eventually.
Hopkins got the information in the
case and conducted the party in which
were Patrolmen Nash. Palmer and
Woodward who made the raid. They
caught Webb redhanded and he ac-
cepted his fine of 500 and Jail sem
tence of 80 days in court this morning
before his friends, who would have
had him take an appeal, arrived.

Five Candidates for Governor.

San Francisco, Aug. 15-With the
close of the state primary campaign,
Republican leaders are predicting that
their party vote tomorrow will exceed
that cast in the general election two
years ago. The Democratic registra-
ton is light, owing to the absence of
contests for places on the state ticket.
Five Republicans-one insurgent and
four stalwarts-will compete for the
Republican nomination for governor.

Astronomers once believed that the

Pleiades. was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center.
1t has long been known, however.
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars. was incorrect. and II any uni
versal center exists It has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many Of the stars
seem TO be moving in straight lines.

A GAME OF BALL.
How 1t May Strike a Stranger Who
Sees It For the First Time.

How 1t May Strike a Stranger Who
Sees 1t For the First Time.
Nothing has set America so high in
the estimation Of foreign nations. says
Ellis Parker Butler in Success Maya
zine, as the adoption of baseball as the
national sport. If a foreign spy wan
derS into America seeking to fathOm
our real inwardness and sees a game
of baseball any feeling Of contempt
for u newness gives way instantly
to aWestruck admiration. At his first
glance baseball is to him q mystery,
and it remains a mystery to him. He
sees 10000 men and women suffering
the fortunes of the lower regions on
hot grand stands. He sees q man pick
up a small white ball as hard as a pine
knot. Facing him is another man who
holds a smooth but deadly club in his
hands. Behind this second man is Il
third man whose face is hidden behind
a birdcage. Suddenly the man with
the ball raises one foot in the air and
shows the man with the bat the sole
of his shoe. The man at the bat sees
that there are spikes in the sole of the
shoe. and it Anglers him. and he raises
his bat to throw it at the man with the
ball. But-ah. ha!-the man with the
ball is too quick for him. He throws
the hard. white ball at the man with
the bat with all his strength. The
man with the bat ave defiance by
swinging the bat in the air. The ball
proceeds. The batsman never fiinches,
Will the ball kill the man or will the
impact crush the ball? But. see, The
ball finds man u~nflinching: the ball is
panic stricken: the ball lodges around
the man: the ball is lost. buried in the
huge leather chair cushion that covers
the hand of the birdcage man behind
the batsman. Strike one!"' says the
umpire. Thirty thousand cheers!

One Man Who Discovered That War

Lem was shot through the right thigh,
and it was long before he was able to
limp out OF, the hospital and back to
his regiment. In the second year he
was shot in the left shoulder. and when
he returned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by Il shortened tendon.
but he vas still able to raise his rifle.
Early in the fourth year they got him
