BRIDGE DOES NOT LOOK I'LL TWO BIG VICTORIES
A FORGER Arrested TO DISCUSS BRIDGE
County Council to Take Up
Matter Monday.

Just what action the county council
will take on Monday when it meets to
re-appropriate money for county con-
tracts on the proposition of appropriat-
ing funds for the South End bridge
over the Whitewater river is problem
atical. That the question will be con-
sidered, and perhaps in all its phases,
is practically assured. 1t is interest.
ing more people than any other single
public improvement. and members of
the council feel that the sooner the
council begins it's consideration OF the
proposition, the better it will be.
A concrete bridge will not cost less
than 100000 and is likely to run
way over this figure. The cost de-
ponds on the location of the bridge,
as different conditions are met at the
proposed locations of South l.. II and
f streets, such as height and length
of the bridge. Engineer Jack Muel-
Ter has not completed his estimates OF
expenses and all of the proposed To-
cations, and until he does the coun-
Gil can not take any formal action in
appropriation of the needed funds.

La Toilette Strenuous in
Cannon's Town.
(National News Association)

DAEVILLE, Ill, Jan. 6.-Senator La
Toilette didn't look much like a sick
man when he greeted the reception
committee in Uncle Joe's town today
Despite the biting cold, the program
was carried out in fun, the senator
speaking at the opera house on con-
servation in Alaska. after holding a
short reception at the Plaza hotel.
State Senator Jones, Progressive
candidate for governor OF Illinois. and
State Senator H. S. McGill, candidate
for the United States senate against
Cullom. joined the La Toilette party
here, and will accompany him through
Indiana. The party will leave Terre
Haute at o o'clock, passing through
Indianapolis about five o'clock enroute
to Richmond
La Toilette in his address created a
sensation by a sensational attack on
Col. Roosevelt, who, he said was
"bluffed" by Wall street during the
panic Of 1907. He said there was no
excuse for the panic. as there was
prosperity on every hand, and he said
it was a manufactured one He said
that if he had been president he would
have stopped the panic by threatening
to appoint receivers for the big New
York banks.

HIGHEST RAILWAY.
This Cloud Piercing Road Crosses tho
Mountains Of Peru.

This Cloud Piercing Road Crosses the
Mountains of Peru.
To the question, (which is the high
est railway In the world?" the answer
is-the Central Railway Of Peru. In
other words. the highest point reached
by any railway line is touched by this
road, where the altitude Of the rails
reaches 1866 feet above sea level. To
reach this point from sea level the
line passes through ffty-seven tunnels.
over a dozen principal bridges and
utilizes thirteen sw1tchbacks, but has
no gradient up to ~ per cent, nor
does it resort to rack propulsion. A
hand car started at Ticlio will run
unaided to Callao, the seaport, and, as
a matter Of fact, such a car, equipped
with safety breaks. runs before each
passenger train, carrying an inspector
on the lookout for fallen rocks or other
dangers. Ticlio, above referred to, Is
the highest station in the world. with
an altitude Of 1865 feet.
The next highest line in the world is
that from Antofagasta, Chile. to Oruru
and La Paz. Bolivia. This line has
also the distinction Of being the mar
rowest gauge line two and one-half
feet for such a long distance. The
highest point is at Collahuasi, where
the altitude is $500 feet, fifty-six feet
lower than the Peruvian line.-New

rusal of the Digest Of the Virginia

His examiners, Wythe, Pendleton,

profound knowledge of history. After
no little elaboration he received his
license.

HUNTING FOR NAME
FOR THE NEW PARK

Directors Of the Richmond Lake and
Park company are trying to decide on
a name for the new park. At least a
dozen different names have been pro-
posed AZ being especially appropriate
for the place. Today word is received
from Conceivable to the effect that
the Fayette County town Is just bull
ding park to be called Hawkins
Park. and consequently that name has
been stricken from the list Of local
possibilities. Directors OF the Rich
mond Lake and Park company will de-
u name. In the hope that other towns
will use some Of the superfluous cog
nomens, thus simplifying the situa-
ton.

Ancient Talas of the Law.

OF law and the flaws delays" these
ancient tales are recorded:
A woman svainly pleading her case
many times before Philip Of Mace
donta received at every refusal the re-
ply that he had not the time" At
last her patience gave out and she said
to him, Then cease to reign" The
monarch, feeling that he had deserved
this rebuke. Immediately listened to
her and rendered the justice that her
case merited.
Anacharsis, the Scythian philosopher,
speaking Of the laws Of Scion. said,
They were like the web Of spider
very good for holding the weak, but
allowing the strong to escape"
A petty thief was being led to prison.
Diogenes said to him: Fool, why didn't
you rob on grand scale? Then it would
have been you that would be sending
others to prison"

It is possible that she had an ugly
