Woman Slept on Jail Floor.

Chester.-After spending two nights
in the City Hall without any convent
ences, Mrs Nellie Gill, "a years old,
of Washington, ID. c., was taken TO
the County Home at Lima. The wom-
an was compelled to sleep upon the
damp cement floor of cell, and the
police We're unable to do anything TO
alleviate her sufferings because of the
inadequate accommodation provided
by he city for such cases. Mrs. Gill
came to this city about a month ago
with her infant child. She was insane
and became so violent that it was
necessary to place her in cell at that
time. She was taken to the county
Jail, but a few days later her mother
inlaw came from Washington and
took her back to the capital city She
eluded her guardian and once more
found her way to this city, where her
mother resides. Her condition be-

Good Wlre Fencing.

There are just three things to keep
in mind when selecting a good wire
fence The quality OF the steel. the
size Of the wires and the grade, as
we'll as the thickness of the galvan-
izing.
II farmers would look into these
very important features when buying
their material. less complaint would
be heard about rusty, noaccounr
fences.
No doubt there are Just as good
wire fences made today as ever be-
fore: in fact. better. but care should
be exercised IN buying.

Fat Hoqs in Hot Season.

Fat hogs are extremely susceptible
to sunstroke, as they cannot perspire
freely, and have their body tempera-
ture reduced by the evaporation of
perspiration as can the horse.
An excellent plan is to frequently
swab the hogs bodies with water to
keep them cool. A hog prostrated by
the heat should be conveyed to a
shady place, where cool water should
be poured on the head and neck. but
not over the rest of the body.

ACCUSED MAN DENIES GUILT
Startling Accusations in Cambria
County That Detectives Plans for

Johnstown-A sensation developed
in Cambria County when charges
were made public by County Commits
sioner A. G. Anderson that r. w. Clay.
a Burns detective, who had been pos
ing as an architect, and whose plans
for the proposed new S25O,OO0 county
insane asylum were before the Com.
missioners, had secured the offering of
a motion by Commissioner 7. Stanton
Davis, of Ebensburg, that Clay's plans
be adopted by means OF promises OF
money consideration made to Ander-
son and Davis. Anderson says that
Davis and Clay were with him In an
automobile when 500 was passed to
Anderson sin hand" this being at once
turned over to third party, in ac-
cordance with an understanding with
Anderson's lawyer. The statement of
Commissioner Anderson implies that
Commissioner Davis had agreed to
favor the Clay plans for cash consid-
Grafton. Anderson asserts that he was
aware of Clays identity, and that he
went along" with the ARCHITECT and
Davis in the latter's automobile to
consummate bargain. with no other
motive than to expose the attempted
graft.
Merely Hand Money.
The 800 handed over was merely
hand money" and, according to the
allegations, a much larger amount
was to be divided. Anderson's state
ment alleges that Davis approached
him on several occasions with the
suggestion that they could procure
money for favoring the Clay plans,
and he says that the sum mentioned
was half of the architect fees. An
derson says that the amount was S.
600, and it was to be divided between
the two Commissioners. Subsequent
ly. Anderson alleges, Commissioner
Davis urged that action favorable to
the Clay plans should be taken and
made a motion to that effect. This
motion was laid on the table, Commis-
sioner Osborn calling attention to the
fact that hearing had been promised
Architect Sterling, OF Pittsburgh, be-
fore final decision was made. Com
missioner Davis admitted that he took
Architect Clay and Commissioner An
derson in his automobile and that he
witnessed the payment of money by
Clay to Anderson. Davis denies, how
ever, that he ever agreed TO accept
any recompense for favoring the Clay
plans. The Clay plans, Davis AYERS,
were most complete and satisfactory,

says, was made rather with the view
of Fastening action by the Commission
ers than for any other reason.

Mathis, that he and family have located at Bonifay, Florida, forty miles south of Dothan, Alabama, their former home. He says he is in a fine, practically new country, and one that promises to be a rich farming section, the indus tries of which are at present turpen- tine, timber, farming and cattle raising, They have been there about six weeks and are well pleased. The place is healthful, very little malaria, and his family has had very fine health since they have been south. They have only called in a physician twice since June b, 1910. He Is practicing law, and doing fairly well, as he is not altogether unknown, there being large number of old ac- quaintances and friends whom he knew when boy in Alabama. MT. Mathis closes his letter with the fol- lowing kindly mention of dear old Forrest City;
 We think and speak often of For. rest City and our friends there. I would be ungrateful, indeed, if were to omit to say that if I were to hunt the world over, I could not hope to ind better people, and people capable of warmer friendships than those With whom l was associated in Forrest City and St. Francis county generally.

BACK TO ROADS OF ROME.
They Builded We'll Did the Old
 Romans.

The most enduring memorial of her mighty sway left us by the Ro- man empire was the system of roads that her policy spread over every county that came under her omnipo- tent hand, says a writer in Motor. In the days when the British Isles yielded grudging obedience to dis tant Rome, the royal proconsuls fol lowed the national custom and wove network of excellent highways over the length and breadth of the colony.
 Rome has learned we'll that vital lesson of road building. that in the foundation rests the life of the road. As result the Briton of today drives his motor car over many highway that was laid down by the Roman legionarieS almost twenty centuries ago. But during the period of rail- way supremacy, many of the Roman roads fell into practical disuse and in some cases were relieved of their met al by neighboring land owners. so that their present aspect is that of grass grown country lanes. Nevertheless, under the carpet of grass lies the eternal foundation. and now that the traffic is again returning to the roads, it has been proposed by the roads I'm provement Association that these an cient Roman highways be rehabilitat- ed and placed again in service, a mat ter which may easily be done because of the fine foundation.
 What a pity 1t is that We in this country cannot seem to learn this ob. vious lesson of the necessity for build ing adequate foundations for our roads. - Commercial-Appeal.
