the determination Of the Russian

ions are made for the carrying out
of the purpose of the bill even to the
selling Of tn land upon which the
noxious weeds are found. if that be-
comes necessary.
Under the proposed law it will
become the duty of the road supe =
visor to locate the pests and serve
notice upon the owner of the land
upon which they are found to rad
icat them. If the owner fails or re-
fuses to act. then it becomes the du-
ty of The road supervisor to go. upon
the land and kill the weeds. 1t is pro-
vided that the expenses of this work
shall be borne by the owner of the
land If the amount is not paid with

cunt becomes a lien upon the land
and eventually the land may be sold
to satisfy the claim.
Refusal or neglect on the part of

Interest Money Built Roads.

The county commissioners Of Shaw

forty miles of good roads with the
money formerly used for paying in

AS rapidly as the bonded debt was
reduced the money which formerly
had been used TO pay interest was ex-

no additional burden on the taxpayers.
Instead, the tax levy was decreased

PHILOSOPHY TO THE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak, but at
That Everything Was Not
p y Lost.

Charles Nagel, secretary of com
nero and labor, says the Irish race
has, in addition to its sentiment and
romance, a lot of philosophy as one
of its characteristics.
THE best illustration l ever heard
of this" he explained to a dinner
party one evening, was the case Of
a poor Irishman who had been given
a fine, juicy piece of steak. Being q
religious man, he placed the steak in
front of him, and there, in the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac-
tors house, he folded his hands,
closed his eyes, and gave thanks to
heaven for the meal. When he was
in the attitude of prayer, a dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill.

Grandstand Nearly Done,

Lancaster County.-The g~randstand
at the state fair grounds, over which
there was much discussion and con-
siderable hanging out at the close of
tthhe last session Of the legislature be-
cause of the reticence of the house to
allow a $4,000 appropriation therefor,
is now nearing completion. The
amount finally appropriated by the
state for the structure was $4,000,
the balance of the cost of the stand
coming out of the pockets OF the State
Fair association.
The new grandstand is one of the
most imposing structures on the fair
grounds and was SPOKEN of by one
man who saw II for the first time as
being "as big as all o~ut-of-doors." 1t
will cost when completed $4,000 and
will seat almost as many people and
to as good advantage as the Iowa
grandstand, which cost $4,000 Four
tons of nails were used in its con-
struction. 1t is 442 feet long, eighty
feet wide and will seat comfortably
6,400 people. The roof is forty-six feet
above the ground. The frame is OF
