WOULD GIVE PRIZES FOR ROADS
SENATOR CARTER WANTS TO IN
CREASE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Believes System Of Rewards Only
Effective Way-Convicts Not
Dependable.

Jefferson City, Sept. 1S.-State Sen
ing bill which he will introduce in
the senate next January in the hope
that it will not only tend to increase
public interest in the great work OF
getting good highways in Missouri
but arouse localities which are now
about as dormant on the subject OF
improved highways as they were at
the close of the Civil war. The pro.
posed measure includes:
The setting apart by the state OF
not less than $4,000 to every county
which taxes itself for permanently i'm.
proved highways.
A levy of 10 cents on the 500 valua-
ton for permanently improved high
ways.
The last proposition has been de-
feated in Missouri when submitted as
a constitutional amendment, but that
was before the present move for good
roads assumed so much Importance
The senator says he is firmly con-
WINGED that the only effective way of
arousing public interest in the high
ways in some of the counties will be
for the state to hang up a prize of
some kind, conditioned upon the coun-
ties performing something on their
own score.
He does not believe that convict
labor can ever solve the problem Of
good highways for Missouri, although
in many of the counties, particularly
those near Jefferson City or where
hand, the convicts can be used to a
good advantage, just as they have
been in other states.

FEDERAL LEADER
TO Be EXECUTED
Reinforcements for E| Tigre Mine
Held Back Till After Fight.
CAMPE0 WITHIN SOUND OF GUN
Officer Responsible for Delay Will be
Shot for CoWardice-Reward
for Recovery Of Bullion
Taken.

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. 1S.-The Mex
can federal officer responsible fol
holding back reinforcements for E
T1gre while the rebels under Salaza
were attacking the town will be sho
for cowardice, according to Gen. Sar
Jines, commanding the federal forces
in Sonora
The general made an emphatic
statement to this effect when informed
that the troops sent from Nacozari tc
the relief of Ell Tigre had arrived
within ten miles of the town nine
hours before the town was captured.
LAS soon as I find out who was re
sponsible he will be executed" said
the general.
The intended reinforcements ar.
rived while fighting was in progress
swung off in different direction and
went into camp within sound of the
firing.
Consulting Engineer j. w. Nal
colmnson authorized the offer of a re-.
ward of $4,000 for the recovery of the
Fl bars of bullion taken from Ell Tigre
by Salazar. 1t was believed that an
attempt will be made to smuggle it
across the line
Intervention Not Wanted.
II the Mexican government should
permit the United States troops to
cross the international line to protect
Americans in Mexico revolution
much more serious than the present
one would be the result.
This was the opinion expressed by
General San Jines, commanding the
federal forces in Sonora, who spent
several hours in Douglas.
Such an act would be bitterly re.
sented by the great mass of Mexican
people, said the general, and there
would be no safety in Mexico for
either those permitting so extreme
move or for Americans.
Rebels Holly Pursued.
Reports that Salazar's rebels are
travelling toward Huachita, N. NJ, for
the purpose of converting into cash
the bullion they stole at Ell Tigre
caused the strengthening of the Dor
der patrol. Gen. San Jines ordered
Col. Munoz, whose command of fed.
erals relieved Ell Tigre, to pursue
Salazar and word was received that
he had nearly overtaken the rear
guard.
Nothing has been heard of Antonio
Rojas' band for three days. They were
last located at Colonia Oaxaca, Is
miles from Morelos. Mexican off,
cals learned that Rojas and Salazar
had quarreled because Salazar refused
to join Rojas when the latter was
Ausua Prieta.

The WoIcott-Norfleet
Concert Company

The Concert given by the
Wolcott-N -Norfleet Concert Co.. at
the M. E. church last Thursday
night, was a great musical
treat for all lovers Of the very
highest classical music. Each
member of the Company proved
herself an artist and early in the
program they had completely
their audience, as
was shown by the hearty encores
received from every number.
Versatility, preventing any mo-
notony, and uniform artistic fn-
ish to each performance were
predominating features that
made the program one of ex-
treme delight from start to fin-
ish. In the first number, The
Menelssohn Concerto" bristling
with technical difficulties, was
displayed the wonderful tech
nique OF so young a yiolinist
rendering Che velocity move
ment with a clearness and re-
fined finish that would only be
expected fromiour great artists.
Miss Wolcott in her delinia-
tions of character, especially as
impersonator Of children ranks
high in her profession and never
fails to elicit the heartiest ap-
plause from her audience. Ia
the person Of Miss Helen Nor
fleet we find a concert pianist
of astoundin g abih ty in
one so young scarcely out Of
her teens. Possessing except
ional musical talent, unusual in
telligence and Ia burning love for
her art, by prolonged and most
careful and determined efforts
to excel, she has already &C.
quired a fine technique.
The company has consented tc
give another concert. Wednes-
day night Of rex. week, April
17th at the M E- church and

full house.
