Pet Measure of the State Good
Roads Advocates, Was Set
Upon In Cruel Manner
And Our Con. Con. Delegate In
structed to Favor AuthOriza-
tIOn County Bonds Only.

The courtroom was crowded by
pike superintendenis, trustees, farm
ers of the county and business men Of
this city to greet State Highway Com
missioner James R. Marker and one
OF his assistants, d. W. seitz of Put
nam County, at their meeting in this
city last wednesday for the purpose
of discussing the objects and ambi-
tions of the new highway department
of the State.
President Frank Dillhoh of the
Board OF Commissioners, presided at
the meeting, which was opened with q
few remarks by Prosecuting Attorney
Romer, who introduced MIR. Marker,
The latter gentleman explained the
intentions and expectations of the
new department and said that its
work was to be pushed along lines SO
admirably and successfully pursued
by the Wooster experiment station,
and in time-the department is but
seven months old-expected to accom-
pIish for the people of the State in a
progressive way as much as is being
done from Wooster.
Engineer d. W. Seitz followed Mr..
Marker and dwelt principally upon
the necessity of an intelligent system
for road repairing.
The proposal authorizing S75,0OO,-
600 issue of bonds for road purposes
throughout the state, to be used under
the direction and supervision of the
state highway commissioner, now be-
fore the Constitutions convention for
action, was condemned and the fol-
lowing resolution passed:
"Resolved, That il is the sense
of this good roads meeting of Mer-
Ger County, Ohio, that we notify
our Constitutional convention del
egate, Hon. h. G. Fox, that we dis
approve of any State bond issue
for road improvement; but that
we do favor an amendment to the
Ohio constitution authorizing
county bond issue for road i'm
provement."

Nobody answering these names can
be located in this city. There are,
however, both Bakers and Bergers In

BAD MAN AT LARGE
AT MERCER

Petty thieving is getting to be COM
mon at Mercer, and nothing is safe un-
less you have paddock on it. A few
days since ]. P. Chivington lost part
of his underwear from a line in the
yard, and another neighbor lost some
of his meat supply while he was going
from one building to another. Chiv-
iDgton says the fellow is evidently a
Republican, for Democrat would not
stop at half suit of underwear. We
advise them to put Geo. Hainline on
the case, for man who can spot tur-
tie 40 feet under the ground without a
trail would soon have smOke-house
or clothes line thief on the run.

breaking upon the shore, and his horse
manifested no reluctance to drink
freely. Grouse drummed in the thickets,
deer fed in the chaparral, and it was
as if an evil spell had suddenly been
