IN SEPTEMBER FoRnEs LOOKS !

4 Chas. IA. Forbes Of st. Paul, division
engineer of the State Highway Com-
mission, is, in connection with Deputy
State Engineer A. J. Fem Of, this. dis
trict, looking up road matters through.
out the county. Visits have been made
to the territory in and around Elm
Dale and on Wednesday they met at
Royalton with the town boards Of
Buckman and Bellevue and the road
committee of the Automobile club, it
being represented by Rev. Father
P]achta. G. W. Bouck, who has been
interested in getting them together,
was also at the meeting. :.
It was, planned to have q big road
making demonstration near Royalton
sometime in September, when with the
donation of the services of men and
teams they will put twelve miles of
road in shape, we understand, in one
day. :
Mr.. Forbes stated that this innova-
tion would evidently be worked out in
this territory also. s.: :
Messrs. Forbes and Fem yesterday
went to Lincoln, where they will look
into the best manner Of correcting the
road at the hill one-haH mile south OF
that place. /:
- Mr.. Forbes stated that the interest
in good roads was very gratifying and
that although much work had already
been done, the betterment of the rnral
highways in the next few years could
hardly be realized at this time, he
prophesying that in 20 years poor
road would be;hard to find in the state.
Much of this would come about he
thought from the application Of the
Elwen road law, when better under,
stood, and also much would depend on
the passage Of the constitutional
amendment allowing the one-mill road
tax, to be voted on this fall. ..
Mr.. Forbes leaves today for visit
to counties further north.

WILL KEEP MAJ. BUTT
ON ARMY LIST TO MAY IS
Military Authorities Fail to Find q
Case Precisely Iden-
tical.

So far as the official record is concern
ed, Maj. Archibald Butt will remain in
the army until May Is next. It 10 held
that there Is still slight possibility that
he may have been picked up by some
ship which has not yet reached port. Be-
cause Of that possibility 1t has been de-
cided to retain his name on the omcial
army register until May Is. one month
after the loss Of the Titanic. Ordinarily
where an onicer disappears. and IL not
heard from within ninety days his name
In stricken from the army list.
There never has been q case precisely
similar to that Of Maj. Butt, and the
authorities are not very clear as to their
proper action in the matter, beyond q de-
cision to do nothing before May Is. Not
until then will consideration be given to
filing In tho vacancy In the list Of majors
in the auartermaster's corps. Gen. o. e.
Babcock, who was on the staff Of Presi-
dent Grant, was lost at sea June 5, 1884.
but he was not then on duty at the White
House.

WRONG CORPSE Is BURIED.
Man Thought Dead Says Mistake
Has Been Made"

FORT WORTH. Texas. April N.-Six
weeks ago a corpse, identified as that Of
w. E. Wofford. was sent from here to
Brooklyn. N Y, and the mans mother.
Mrs. Mary Wofford. accepted the body
as that of her son and collected life in
surance.
Early today man walked into the un-
dertaking shop where the corpse had been
prepared for shipment. He declared q
mistake had been made" and that he
was the real Wofford.
The mistake in identity was caused by
a resemblance between WoMord and the
man who was buried In his name. and
by letters found on the corpse, addressed
to Wofford. Wofford explained this by
saying he had lost q coat In the pockets
OF which were several letters from his
mother.
The mystery Of the identity Of the man
buried for Wofford remains unsofved. The
former died in a local hospital. Mrs. Wof-
ford has been notified.
