COUNTY PRAISED !
FOR FINE ROADS.
Delegates to National Good Roads
Association Convention in Chicago
Declare Alexander Has Best High
way in the State.

That the roads in the vicinity of
Cairo. particularly in Alexander
county, are in better condition for
traffic than are roads in any other
part Of Illinois, was stated by many
of the delegates present at the rec
ent National Good Roads Associa-
ton convention in Chicago, accord
ing, to G.. G. Miller, president of the
Cairo Automobile Club.
Mr.. Miller did not attend the con
vention as an official Of the automo-
bile club, the National A. A. A. hav-
ing it's own movement in hand, bu,
was there as a Cairo delegate with
Mayor George Parsons and Il. A
Buder,
Il discussed good roads with many
Of the delegates and they agreed
that the roads in Alexander County
were in better condition than in
any other part of the State" said Mr..
Miller. II attended the convention
on Illionois day and found efforts be-
ing directed largely toward creating
interest in the movement to create
a National system of good roads.
"The proposition is to interest the
authorities and to have the road
question centralized and administer
ed by state Commission, with the
aid of the Engineering Corps, as Wen
as utilizing convict labor, rapid adj
vancement is expected in the road
improvement work,
"The present system is highly
wasteful, with no permanent bene-
Ats, except in few instances. About
| 1000 paid officers and employees are
administering the road affairs in
this state and through the fact that
the work is largely of temporary
nature, hut little progress is made
in comparison with the amount OF
money expended.
at is generally conceded that H.
linois is one of the richest and has
the worst roads Of any state in the
Union. There has been opposition
to. the road improvement project
through political sources and The
movement also has been opposed by
large nonresident landowners
throughout the Central agricultural
district, who objecte to special tax
alton.
"It is believed that good per
manent work is being done by the
Road District Commissioner in Alex
ander County. The work is progress
ing rapidly in Alexander County
than in any other part of the state.
Automobile owners have good
reasons to complain of the radical
advances made in insurance prem
iums covering auto rates and this
subject is to receive special atten-
ton on the part Of the Illinois State
Automobile Association which will
hold its convention in Chicago this
month.

SUICIDES THAT MAY
SAFELY BE PRINTED
Cases Of Whitaker Wright, Hector
M'Donald and Baker Pasha Not
Barred by the Doctors.

DR. Antonio Stella, worldfamous
physician. cited the suicides of Whit
taker Wright Gen. Hector Macdonald
and Baker Pasha as cases fit to
print even In the English press, which
advertised them as widely as did the
American press.
Whitaker Wright, the once power
full, wealthy and successful promoter
of American financial schemes IN
England, forgot for minute that the
man who publishes the Yankee press
agent type OF prospectus to attract in
acy of every statement he makes. The
alternative is Jail sentence for
swindlng So the shrewd English
protect their pounds, shilllngs and
pence against financial exploitation.
Whitaker Wright, backed by pcpu-
larity In London society, with his
riches supporting him and a beautiful
wife and children to make his fine,
big London mansion real home, was
tempted to Issue just one prospectus
on Yankee press agent lines. This
was to be. his final wildcat specula-
ton If it succeeded, and he never
doubted that it would, he would re-
strain himself always afterward, he
resolved, to every legitimate business,
But certain Scotch investors, after
investigating the fables in that
Wright prospectus, started to get &C.
ton out of him. Wright faced them
serenely, but he thought he had an In
fluence in his hands which no prose
cution or evidence could break II
was his friendship for the Prince of
Wales, but at the critical time the
Prince failed him.
Death Rather Than jail.
IL fear your sentence will be too
late, your honor" Wright said, smil-
ing, when called upon to stand up for
sentence. No sentence was ever pro
nounced on Wright either, for he
dropped as he spoke. dead from a small
tablet of the swift-acting cyanide of

about Gen Hector Macdonald, who

sive Tribe Will Be Brought Back
And Re-established on Hunting
Grounds in Sonora.

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 26.--One
OF the beneficient results of the sucz
cess Of the Mexican revolution is the
fact that the Yaqui Indians, who
were driven from the Yaqui valley,
and many of them taken to Yucatan,
in obedience to the order of former
President Diaz, will be returned to
their old home.
Some years ago hundreds of those
people Were forcibly taken from
their homes and deported to Yucca
tan and their lands. the richest in
the republic, confiscated by the
government. General E. j. viljoen,
hero of the Boer war and military
adviser Of Francisco |. Madero dur
ing the revolution, has been COM
lnissioned to confer with the leaders
of the Yaqui Indians in Sonora rel
alive to the return OF their banished
kinsmen.
Niljoen has been commissioned by
the Mexican government to treat
with the Indians and induce them to
return to the lands from which they
were driven by the leaders of the old
federal regime Those who desire to
return from the hot lands of Yucca
tan will be brought back to their
homes by the government, given free
land, irrigation systems, and crop
seeds as reparation for the wrongs
that have been done them.
While the Yaquis are warlike
when enraged, they are the most
progressive tribe of Indians on the
American continent and have shown
themselves to be good farmers and
capable of rapid advancement

pApuANs MARRIAeE cusroMs.

The marriage customs Of the Papu.
ans are somewhat similar TO those Of
many other savage races. The cere.
mony is largely a matter OF purchase
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years Of age, and the girls
at fourteen or even earlier. one of
the girls | met carrying a baby was,
so far as | could find out, under thir-
teen years Of age; and, like other
inhabitants of tropical countries, the
Papuan females mature very early in
life. When a young lake man wishes
to get married, he visits the father
of his prospective bride and puts for
ward his personal belongings as an
inducement to the father to consent
to the union. Wealth is reckoned by
many curious things in this region,
where, one might almost say, no one
owns anything. Furniture, clothes,
money-everything by which the civ
ilized races of the earth count their
possessions-are non-existent. If a
age, and can demand anything, but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears, most of the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
is scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on a very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both men
and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with hem as a protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have bundles of
ancient Portuguese cloth, centuries
old, and when a young man is seek
ing bride one of these heirlooms is
generally part of the deal" The
youth and the girls father haggle
over the marriage until eventually
they agree to terms, and then the
thing is done. The men are not linn
tied to one wife, and once a girl is
married she is subject to her husband
IN everything and is practically his
slave. In another part of New GUM
ca | remember a distinctly strong
confirmation of the custom which
places a woman entirely at the mercy
of her husband. At one house Wis
tied | saw standing outside the door
way three huge stone clubs, each
large enough to fell a bullock. On
making inquiries l found that thew
tailed with the number of wives
owning allegiance to the householder:
the clubs were used by the man to
beat his wives with if they ANNOYED
MIN, The quaint part of it was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being flogged unmerci-
FULLY by their lord and master, they
would not be beaten with the same
weapon as that used on another wo-
man; so the natives kept a sonar
ate club for each wife!

ORIGIN OF THE
POST OFFICE

The postofhce is an example of the
mode in which things change while
names remain II was originally the
office that arranged the posts or
roads where, on the great roads of
England relays of horses and men
could be obtained for the rapid for
warding of government dispatches.
There was a chief postmaster of Eng.
land many years before any system
of conveyance of private letters by
the crown was established. Such
letters were conveyed either by cour.
Ter, who used the same horse
throughout the entire journey, or by
relays of horses maintained by pri.
vate Northumberland is, by private
post. The scheme of carrying the cor
respondence of the public by means
of the crown messengers originated
in connection with foreign trade. A
postoffice for letters to foreign parts
was established for the benefit of the
English merchants" in the reign Of
James l., but the extension of the sys-
to inland letters was left to the sue
ceeding reign Charles l., by a procla-
nation issued in 1885, may be said
to have founded the present postof-
fee. BY this proclamation he COM
banded that his "Postmasters of Eng
land for foreign parts to settle a run
ming post or two, to run night and
day between Edinburgh and London,
to go thither and come back again in
six days, and to take with them all
such letters as shall be directed to
any post town on or near that road"
Neighboring towns, such as Line
oln and Hull, were to be linked on to
this main route, and posts on simil-
ar principles were to be established
on other great highroads, such as
those to Chester, Holyhead, Exeter
and Plymouth. So far no monopoly
was claimed, but two years afterward
a second proclamation forbade the
gers except those of the Kings post.
master-general, and thus the present
system was inaugurated.
The monopoly thus claimed, though
no doubt devised by the King to en-
hance the royal power and to bring
money into the exchequer, was adopt
ed by Cromwell and his Parliament,
one main advantage in their eyes be-
ing that the carriage of correspond
ence by the government would afford
the best means to discover and pre-
vent any dangerous and wicked de-
signs against the commonwealth. -
