OF cash and labor Is appreciated.
When the Long, Nimocks and Hub
ener party went east from this place
the party returned west 50 lar as
Russell over this newly named road,
the Russell boulevard. What for? For
no other purpose than to mark OF
map this road In the official guide ana
atlas. Let US reason this matter. What
had the people living along this road
done prior to Melrose boosters agitat-
ing the good roads proposition!
Nothing! There are plenty Of people
who have lived along this road for
twenty years who have never placed
their teams on . drag twenty minutes
in the entire time they have lived
there until we landed this road. AS
soon as this was done they got busy
and did considerable work. What
brought this about? These people, as
soon as they were informed that the
road was located through Mclrose,
commenced to knock and endeavor to
get the road away from 10. Did they
endeavor to get the road prior to its
establishment? The answer 10 that
they did not. Why? They presumed
that, living upon what is known as
the State road, 1t was unnecessary to
make any endeavor, as the road would
be located officially there any way.
Now then, where did the incentive
originate that caused this enthusiasm
and work upon this Russell boulevard!
We will leave this for the public to
say.
Now then, as to- the justice Of civ
ing this Russell boulevard q mapping
upon the official guide and atlas In
competition to this, the official Blue
Grass Road, by the same parties who
established this road; In all fairness
between man and man. Is this just!
why not ask the question, Why 90
these officials recognize this road AZ
all? What is the incentive? Why not
mark all the cross roads as we'll as
the other roads that run parallel to
this official road, place them IN COM
petition and take the travel of OF the
official road. Where draw the Hne?
For instance, take the road as running
from Abba through Blakesburg and
the Abba through Eddyville road, to
Ottumwa. Why not give the Eddyville-
or latter road q marking in guide book
and atlas. This is identical with this
proposition here. Is this Justice? An
other road identical with the road rum
ming from near old Georgetown and
turning by the old Estlake farm
around the horseshoe bend into Abba,
and the road running north from this
farm through Ward into Abba. Why
not give the Ward road a marking as
we'll as the Estlake road, the official
road. Is this Justice, and is this sys-
tenn the proper one to inspire conf
dence In the Blue Grass road associa-
ton? II this Is the system adopted by
this association, Melrose wants none
Of 1t. Our contract and understanding
with the Iowa Publishing Co. is that
we, for the consideration Of 500, were
to receive q one-half page advertise
ment Of our village In the large atlas;
also were to receive short write-up
and mapping in the official guide. The
country roads were to all be marked
in hair line markings upon this guide
and atlas, the Blue Grass road is to
be marked IN bold type. The State
road at issue was to be marked the
same as all other country roads, In

ACTION FOR RECEIVER OF ELEc.
TRIO COMPANY is SOUGHT IN
slGouRNEY' COURT.

Sigourney, Aug, 17.-Judge X. E..
Wilcockson was occupied all day We'd
nesday in the hearing of case which
comes from New Sharon wherein one
Osborn and three other creditors are
plaintiffs and Otto Whetstein, sole
owner of the New Sharon Electric
Light & Telephone Co. is defendant.
The defendant purchased this property
about three years ago, subject to
mortgage for soemthing over $4,000.
The three plaintiff creditors are the
holders of the defendants negotiable
paper for $11,500. The contention Is
that the defendant is insolvent and
they ask that receiver be appointed
to take charge of the defendants prop
critics and manage the same. Sew
eral witnesses have been examined and
the entire day was taken up with the
introduction of testimony and 1t is
probable that part of Thursday will
be occupied in the hearing. Attor.
neys S. v. Reynolds from Oskaloosa
and William McNett from Ottumwa
represent the plaintiff creditors while
the defendant is represented by the
firm of Lacey & Lacey from Oskaloosa

Examine insane Patient.
The commissioners of insanity OF
this county were called to the south
part of the county Wednesday after
noon to examining into the mental condi-
ton Of Mrs. Bell Vanorsdoll who 1t
was found was of 'unsound mind. The
commissioners ordered her committed
to the hospital at Mt. Pleasant. The
woman's husband and her sister took
her overland by automobile to Mt.
Pleasant. The case is an exceedingly
unfortunate one. Mrs. Vanorsdoll be-
ing only 26 years and her commitment
leaves to the care Of her mother the
two weeks old babe which seemed
to be uppermost in her mind. She
seemed to think the child had been
taken from her wrongfully.
