QUARANTINE WILL
EMO DURING JULY
Health Officers Consider Re-
scinding the Dog Muz-
zling Order.

The dog muzzling orders, now in
force in the county and city. may be
withdrawn the last of July il no more
cases or rabies develop before that
time.
DR.. T. H. Davis, city health officer,
said today that he believed the peo-
pie would be amply protected from
rabiS dogs if no more cases of hydro
phobia developed within thirty days.
and DR.. King, county health officer.
while not committing himself to any
definite date, stated that as soon as
the situation seemed TO be under con-
troll, he would rescind his order in
the county. Asked il this would occur
by the last Of July, he gave il as his
opinion that this would probably be
the date of the expiration Of the or
der il no new cases developed.
1t has been several weeks since the
dog muzzlfng order was made. In that
time a number of people have been
arraigned in police court on charges
of violating the ordinance and several
have been fined. The health officers
say that people generally seem dis
posed 10 obey this ordinance. and that
few dogs are seen on the streets OF
the city or in the county without be

WAYNE COUNTY IS
"ROAO CRAZY" NOW
80 Per Cent of Stock, Surplus
Funds and Undivided
Profits Unassessed.

Has Wayne county gone "road
msd?"
County officials are asking this ques-
ton daily and it's is answered in the
Affirmative. Petitions for improve
ments have literally swamped the
board of county commissioners during
the past four or five months. Farmers
from every nook and corner of the
county are demanding that the COM
missioners grant their petitions for the
construction of macadam roadways
Following is list of proposed i'm
rrovements:
Ernest Cox road, on the boundary
line of Wayne and Randolph counties
Richmond and Newport turnpike,
running north on Tenth street through
Spring Grove.
The Oliver Scantland road, in Green
township.
National road east.
Easthaven avenue.
Commons road.
West Fifth street and Williamsburg
pike.
Two roads in Jackson township, run
ming through Main street of Dublin,
Cambridge City and East Germantown.
Road through Centertownship, run
ming through the main street of Cen
terville.
Liberty pike.
The commissioners from Wayne and
Randolph counties will hold a joint
meeting in this city. June 20, to de-
eide upon the improvement of the Err
nest Cox road.
The report of the Richmond and
Newport turnpike has been filed and
the matter is pending with the com
missioners. Viewers have been ap-
pointed for the proposed Improvement
Of the Oliver Scantland road The pc
tition for the improvement of the Ma.
I1Ondl ROAD, east. Is IN the 0an0S OF the
commissioners. The contract for the
Ia asthaven avenue improvement has
been let. The petition of Richard
Sedgwick and others for the improve
nent of the Commons road. or North
West Eighth street, has also been pre-
sented to the board. Viewers are work
ing on the report on the West Fifth
street and Williamsburg pike improve
rent. Petitions are being circulated
IN Jackson and Center township for
proposed improvements With one ex.
ception. it is believed there will be
very little opposition to the proposed
improvements. In Center township, 1t
is said, a remonstrance is being drawn
up. protesting against an improvement.
All of these improvements, If made,
will be under the three-miIe road law.
The township in which the improve
ment is made, will be forced to pay for
the improvement. by general taxation.
The better roads" mania is caused,
it Is believed. by the fact that a large
number of farmers are owners of au-
tomobiles. Good roads are conducive
to speed, and aid materially in keep
ing machine in good repair.

cruits from the Democratic party even
before the Democratic convention
nominates president at Baltimore
Should that convention nominate a
standpatter it is an assured fact that
there will be wholesale desertions
from the Democratic party in this

Movement in State,

CRAWFORDSVILLE will stand
with the new party" This statement
by William Endicott of this place and
a Roosevelt delegate to the Republican
national convention from the Ninth
District, announced his determination
to sever his connection with the Re-
publican party and join with the
Roosevelt movement.
There will be a meeting of the
Roosevelt men of the Ninth District in
few days said Mr.. Endicott, "at a
time and place to be fixed by J. w.
Whickar of Attica. chairman of the
District Roosevelt organization. At
that meeting our future course will be
determined. All of the Roosevelt men
from the districts at the convention
decided to remain with Roosevelt to
the end.
LAS for myself, I expect nothing out
of politics. A man can do much better
by attending to his own business than
by trying to make living out of poll
tics. But shall do what / can to make
the new movement a success"
LAFAYETTE@Glen X Stimson, edi-
tor of the Lafayette Courier; Russell
X. Bedgood, state representative; D.
P. Flanagan, Edgar Randolph, Charles
E. Thompson, Thomas Bauer and fif-
t. other Roosevelt Republicans sent a
message to Albert ]. Beveridge saying
they will not recognize the Taft con-
vention. They deplore the action of
the road roller at Chicago.
ANDERSON-Clayt Sells, Roose-
velt chairman in the Eighth District,
says he will visit every county in his
district for the purpose of organizingg
the national progressive party. He
says thousands are ready to join the
new party. Sells attended the Chica-
go convention and said he was ready
to repudiate the Republican party for
defrauding seventy-two delegates out
of their seats in the convention.

BALTIMORE. June 25.-An hour be-
fore the Democratic national conven-
tion opened today delegates and visi-
tors began filing into the hall. The
great building filled slowly as q
steady shower of an hour held the
crowds back. The front of the building
was thronged with thousands forming
in line to enter. The streets were fill
ed with people of every description.
The general color scheme within the
Fifth Regiment armory was yellow
and black, crowned with the national
tri-color.
Conspicuous on the walls were por-
traits of Andrew Jackson, George
Washington, Thomas jefferson and
other prominent men.
National Chairman Mack began to
rap for order at 12:15. II was announc-
ed however. that over two hundred
delegates were struggling In the
thousands outside endeavoring TO gain
entrance to the hall. IL was 1895 be-
fore Cardinal Gibbons pronounced the
invocation. The first ripple of hand
clapping was accorded to the Cardinal
when he entered the hall. while Bryan
took his seat on the stage amid
silence.

Parker and Kern.
At 12:43 the name of Alton b. Park
er was placed in nomination for tenn
porary chairman by National Chair
man Mack, who announced that the
nomination was made by instruction Of
the national committee. A great out
burst OF applause greeted Judge Park
er's name.
William Jennings Bryan immediate
ly arose and waved his hands for or
der. At 1880 Bryan began his speech
nominating Senator Kern of Indiana
for temporary chairman. When he
first mentioned Kern there was anoth-
er outburst of cheering. fully equalling
that accorded Parker. Men stood on
chairs, waved handkerchiefs and threw
their hats into the air. Shouting them
selves hoarse they acclaimed the man
who came to start the fight. The band
outclassed as a noise making institu-
tion the bowling delegates and spec
tators.
Bryan, in nominating Kern, said:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen OF
this convention: ] arise to place in
nomination for the office of temporary
chairman or the convention the name
! of Hon. John Worth Kern, of Indiana.
"In thus dissenting from the judg-
ment of our national committee. as ex-
pressed in its recommendation i recog-
| nize that the burden of proof is on me
, to overthrow the assumption that the
committee can say that IL represents
the wishes of the convention, and OF

provided for and recommended TO this
convention are not final

/ ton from one Of the states. and ask

MIDOCEAN REPARTEE.

----->.-----vs ah '''S
 As evidence that Englishmen are not without dry sense of humor, the marquis of Queensberry, now touring the United States, told the following story during his New York visit:
 Two Englishmen were paying court to the same American girl on a transatlantic trip. Their steamer chairs were placed on either side of hers, and every fair day the rivals would sit for hours with the fair American, each trying to cut the other out. One of the two was no- toriously parsimonious. The men spoke of him as one who "had never bought a drink in his life" and his stinginess was manifested even in the way he smoked his cigars down to the last quarter of an inch.
 One morning the English ''tight wad,' while monopolizing the Amer ican girls entire attention, smoked cigar until it began to singe his mustache. The other chap watched him languadly as he arose to toss the tiny cigar stump overheard. As he returned from the rail his rival drew his pipe from his mouth and observed:
 T say, old chap, I do hope that won't get in the propeller"

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME
How Learned Linsuist Brought Re lief to Situation That Was
 Becoming Painful.

The guests at certain stag party were very dry. Considerable time had elapsed since the emptying of the last bottle, and the host, en- grossed with anecdotes, had made no move to remedy matters. It was really serious situation-one that might become at any moment pain ful.
 How relieve it? Chance offered a way.
 One of the dry brotherhood, point ing casually to Latin inscription over the fireplace, asked-just for the sake of saying something:
 ''Say, what does that inscription mean in English ?" Then he turned to another of the guests, known for his prowess as a linguist.
 "Surely you can tell us what it he said.
 The llnguist looked the inscrip- tion over very, very carefully.
 "That," he observed finally, lis sentence taken from the works of Horace, which, rendered into Eng fish, means: Said the governor of North Carolina to the governor of
  South Carolina-.'" ;s,4.-

I remembered allusions of particular states of mind. I wonder what will happen with Pendennis and Fanny Bolton; writing it and sending it to you somehow it seems as if it were true. I shall know more about them tomorrow; but mind, mind and keep the manuscript; you see it is five pages, fifteen pounds, by the immor- tai gods IA Collection of Letters of Thackeray.
