THERE is no section of the news
paper that comes home closer to
where people live than the classi-
fed advertising. No matter how
much more important theoretically
the news from Mexico may be, the
fact that your neighbor has offered
his house for sale at certain price
touches you much more closely.
From these columns you read
the intimate story Of the town S
daily lite. The housewife is cur
ious to know vino is advertising for
positions as servants. Working
people want to know who is adver-
Using for positions as servants.
Working people want to know who
is asking for help. People who own
or who wish to buy or rent real
estate are interested in the pend
ing transfers. 1t is hard to find a
class of people who do not follow
these notices week by week.
Hence it is perfectly astonishing
how many answers are often re
ceived from simple little inser-
ton, in the To Rent, For Sale, and
Want columns. ANYTHING you can
do by personal inquiry is multiplied
a hundred fold by the press.
Some people will put in hours OF
DAYS and time worth dollars, run
ming around and making Inquiries
haphazard, when they want so rent
a place or sell some property.
Meanwhile few nickles or dimes
spent in the newspaper would
reach a hundred fold more people.
Usually the man whom you ex-
pect to interest has other ideas
while the newspaper brings In
quiries from strangers and sources
that would never occur to you.
This kind of advertisingpermit
the buyer to get the best price, be-
cause he learns whether there is 10
be any competition. 1t gives the
seller the most advantageous trade
because he finds whether there is
really to be demand.
In many places farmers are al
ready doing good business thru
the parcel post by newspaper adj
vertising. They are developing
a trade that would rather pay q
special price than buy thru middle
men. The classified advertising
is a time saver and a money

government aid was secured by |
the state of Ohio, when it was ad
mitted into the nnion.
The fund used was from pro
ceeds of sale of public lands, APP
propriatcd by Congress for con-
struction of roads.
Funds derived from this source
has most generally been applied
for Common School" purposes.
The next step in order of road
buildingI will mention TheWilder-
ness Turnpike Road, extending
from the "Blue Grass" to the Ten
nessee state line. The road ex-
tended from there but not as a
Kentuck..' enterprise.
The road consisted of two lines
from the "Blue Grass" to a juno
ton at "Pittmont" now Pittsburg,
KY, thence a single road to Ten
nessee line.
An act of legislature while the
State was in its infancy, appropri.
ated a sum sufficient to open and
prepare this artery OF commerce
between Kentucky and the South
ern States. Over this road in the
40s and 50!s till near the time of
the civil war poured the stream
of commerce between the two Sec
tons.
"DrOves F" of horses. mules, cat
tie and hogs were continually
driven on foot TO the Southern
market.
The hogs and cattle to supply
meat for the cotton and sugar"plan
tation" and the mules and horses
for the cultivation of these two
crops chiefly. The cost of re-
pairs of the road was secured
from tolls, collected from the
HdrOvers" and "wagoners" along
the line, gates were erected for
each twenty-five or fifty miles of
road, where tolls were collected :.
These gates were rented to the
highest bidder, this bid compel
ing him to furnish the amount
bid by him whether he collected
it or not. This public renting
was conducted by Road Commits
sioners, one being appointed for
each county along the line. The
repairs were made by some one
hired for the purpose, let in sec
tons and the work usually done
in the summer and fall. The
labor employed if white was about
SO cents and board per day or $13
per month. In some instances
the Slaves of the contractor, or
those of the neighbors were EN-
ployed, at about the same rate.
Very heavy wagons carrying four
tons or more drawn by four, six
and eight horses went over that
road. Wagons went in groupo,
from Louisville, Lexington or
Frankfort. where the goods were
purchased. They doubled teams
to climb the steep grades along
the way. The freight consisted
chiefly of flour in barrels, sugar
coffee. domestic, cotton, sheeting
and shifting, wax brogan shoes
and boots, jeans. whiskey, nut
megs, ginger. indigo, and madden
calico, etc.
The distance travelled rarely
exceeding ten miles per day.
Some trips over the Cumberland
mountains running into weeks.
Many of these wagons would
return by way of Goose creek,
Salt works, and load with Goose
creek salt, for barter along the
way.
Freight was perhaps ST.. and
more per hundred, according to.

SOCIALISTS SPLIT
In A HOT SESSION

Tacoma, Wash, March 11.--Con-
servatiVe socialists, representing more
than 300 state locals and about 5000
of the 600 dues paying members of
the socialist party in Washington,
formed a separate political organiza-
ton tonight. This action followed
the final session of the state conyen-
tion here this afternoon when the rad
ical organization, which throughout
had demonstrated it had the upper
hand, was denounced as a dues pay
ing organization to maintain the. l.
w. w. in its wild theories and its
leaders We're branded as anarchists.
The new party styles itself simply the
socialist party of the state of WASH
ingtOn.
The radicals, knowing that the con-
servatives We're seeking to precipitate
Il bolt, declined to recognize H. B.
Martin of Spokane, a former minister,
who had been assigned to bring on the
split. Another conservative, T. A.
Sherman of Mason county, gained a
hearing, however, and brought on the
crisis by denouncing the direct ac-
tionists, declaring that a small fac
tion of anarchists would make the
qualifications for the party such that

POLICE INSPECTOR
REDUCED IN RANK
BY WALDO
ANOTHER OFFICIAL INVOLVED
IN GRAFT SCANDAL is DE-
NOTED AND SUSPENDED,

New York, March 11.-As a result
of testimony of witnesses regarding
police graft, Police Commissioner
Waldo reduced Police Inspector John
j. Murtha to the rank of captain to-
day and suspended him without pay.
Murtha formerly was in charge of the
precincts in Harlem, which district
has figured most prominently in the
graft disclosures thus far.
The grand jury and District Attor-
ney Whitman spent the day listening
to the confessions of men and women
who said they paid money to police
men in return for immunity from in
terference while they violated the law
hotel owner and several women
who ran disordery resorts, told how
they contributed to the Golfers of the
system Much of their testimony
corroborated stories already told, In
volving police officers and politicians
but the stories of several witnesses
brought under suspicion men not
hitherto suspected.
One of the most remarkable wit
nesses examined by Mr. Whitman was
Mary Stacom, who confessed today, at
the. age of "a years, that SO years of
her life had been spent as keeper of
disorderly resorts. Known through
out the underworld as IN other" Sta
com, this woman pieced together the
experiences of her professional life
with facts that are expected to serve
Mr.. Whitman invaluaby.
Another startling story has reached
the prosecutor in the form of a
written report by one of his investiga-
tors, telling how a woman, Annie
Grey, was reputed to have accumu-
as a disorderly resort keeper Backed
by former sheriff and a one time
police commissioner, according to in
formation available to the prosecutor,
Annie Grey conducted several Of the
most noted resorts of their typo in
this city. Mr.. Whitman expects she
will go before the grand jury with an
account of her underworld experiences.
Samuel Levy, a hotel man, repeated
to the grand jury today graft story
he had related to Mr.. Whitman. In
this story he told of paying s75
monthly for the privilege of selling
liquor without license Once he
refused to pay, he declared, and there
was a fake raid" on his hotel and he
was brought to court, but when he
slipped $75 into Il polceman's hands
the case against him fell through for
lack of evidence" He was told tha
this would be "a lesson to him, he
said.

OF LEWIS
WILL Be CLAIMED
BY KELLER
ILLINOIS STATE SENATOR WILL
TRY TO HAVE DEMOCRAT
DECLARED CHOICE.

Springfield, Ill, March 11.--When
the Illinois legislature reconvenes to-
morrow to vote on the two United
States senator's, Senator j. E. Keller
will make an attempt to get upon the
record a claim that Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis, democrat has been
elected to the long term senatorship.
1t is the intention of Senator Keller
to ask the general assembly to alter
the records of proceedings of January
81, the last session before the legisla-
ture recessed, to show that 115 mem
bers were present at the joint session,
when Colonel Lewis received Sc votes
for senator while republicans and
progressives sat silent in their seats.
AS the senate and house journals
now read, only the II members who
voted on the eighth joint ballot We're
present No effort was made then
to record other members in the cham
ber as present and not voting"
Therefore there is no record that a
quorum was present
Senator Keller has secured a list of
the members Who it is asserted, were
physically present when the ballot was
taken.
Senator Keller does not expect to
be able to secure the correction, but
when it is voted down, he will serve
notice of claim that Colonel Lewis was
legally elected United States senator
at that time and will notify the as
sembly if anyone else is elected to fill
the long term senatorship at a later
date the election will be contested
before the United States senate in be-
half of Colonel Lewis.
Members of the republican side are
inclined to scott at Senator Kener's
claim. They declare he is attempt
ing a huge bluff to frighten them into
uniting in Lewis Sherman combna-
ton that will send Colonel Lewis to
the senate for the long term and leave
the short term to Judge Sherman, the
republican primary nominee.

st. Petersburg, March 11.--Demobili-

was announced tonight in an official
communication issued by the two coun-
tries. This sets forth. that the eX-
change of letters between Emperor
Francis Joseph and Emperor Nicholas
have proved the continued friendship
OF the two nations, and that both are
desirous of maintaining peace.
"A semi official Russian agency is
authorized to state that as a result of
the explanations exchanged with the
Vienna cabinet, Austria cherishes no
aggressive policy against her neigh
bors in the south.
Austria, it is understood has taken
steps at London to induce the powers
to act collectively in demanding from
the Servian government an eXplana-
ton regarding the dispatch of addi-
tional troops by Servia to Durazzo.
A growing irritation is displayed in
official circles of the military party
here over Servia's action, which is be-
lieved to be encouraged by the appar
ent helplessness and dlatOry proceed
ure of the ambassadorial conference
at London. AS it is we'll known that
Servia has no real desire to see Mon
