Anxious for Birmingham Florence Highway to Pass
 Through Counties
GOOD ROADS SCOUTS
 CORDIALLY RECEIVED
Find Roads From Birmingham to Nauvoo in Fair Condition-Room for Improvement From Nau-
 700 to Bear Creek
By l.. $. BETrY

Bear Creek. August 31.-tSpecial. )-Citi- zens of Winston and Marion counties are keenly alive to the necessity of road build ing and they are particularly anxious that the proposed Birmingham Florence highway should pass through their eoun- ties. Their interest in the proposed high way was shown at all places through which State aliighway Engineer W. S. Keller and his scouting party passed this afternoon, the reception accorded the highway party at Haleyville, in Winston county, and at Bear Creek, in Marion, being of so cordial and enthusiastic a na- tufe as to leave little doubt of their interest in the matter.
 Engineer Keller and his party reached Bear Creek at o'clock this afternoon and will go on from here to Russellvilfe for the night. The party arrived here an hour late as the result of taking the wrong road a few miles beyond Haley vile.
 Scouts Reach Haleyville
 At Haleyville the scouting party was met by a dozen or more leading citizens of the place and they were invited to spend the night Among those who met the Keller party were Dr. l. c. Taylor, " w. Haley. N. II. Froman, o. H. Drake, W w. Hargett J. H. Gentle. P. P. Blackwell and a number of others. A half hour or more was spent at Haleyville, after which the party came to Bear Creek under the escort of Dr. l.. N. Flip DO, J. Pickens Phillips and k. c. Brock
 The Bear Creek reception was equal in cordiality to that received at Haleyville, Nauvoo. Jasper and other places along the road. At this place the party were forced to decline another invitation to spend the night The scouting party en- countered some rather rough roads this afternoon.
 The road from Birmingham to Nauvoo, Is in pretty fair condition, but the road from Nauvoo to Bear Creek, a distance of 30 miles, is almost impossible in some places How ever, work of improving this road is pro- gressing and Engineer Keller received assurances at all the places he visited that the road would be put in good condition in a few months.
 The highway party will spend the night at Russellville and will make an early start tomorrow morning for Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia. From the tri- cities the party will go to Courtland, they will spend the night. On the fol- lowing morning the party will leave for Birmingham, going by way of Oneonta

THEN ..,.. and. ..... NOW

To-day there Is a, s,5Ooo, 100000 in coins and paper money circulating throughout the United States. Four great government hints and the 1a<g- est money printing onace in the world are in constant operation to supply the demand for money. Every year the mints alone arc turning out a stream of sse, ,OOo, ,OOO in gold coins and S1O, ,OOO, 900 in silver coins. More than 4,0OO expert money makers are constantly engaged in making the greenbacks and other paper money. Ingenious coin presses in the mints manufacture money more rapidly than the normal human heart beats; at top speed they produce about no coins every minute.
 Recently, to meet the emergency demanded by the issue of the "buf1a- Io' nickel the hints turned them out at the rate of LAO, 900 a day This industry is so highly organized that the United States mints can make money more economically tban any other in the world. Our nfn9s are to- day making pesos and other coins foE MeKtco and several of the Central and South American countries.

One hundred and tWenty-nine years ago to-day the decimal system of money now used was adopted by the United States Congress. It was the first step toward a national currency, but seven years elapsed before the first national mint was established. Up to this time the monetary system was in a chaotic condition. The ac- tuaI money in circulation in this coun- try consisted of foreign coins distrfbu- ted in different sections according to the nativity of the settlers, or money coined by individuals and the colo mics. In New England the English pound and shilling dourfshed; in New York there was the Dutch dorin and thaIer. the latter being the word from which our dollar is derived; in the Southern colonies the money of Spain and France were the mediums of exchange. and everywhere the sys- tenn of barter was in use. Wheat was legally authorized as the equivalent of coin in Massachusetts. Tobacco
 was accepted across the store coun- ter in Virginia and Maryland. This was the condition when Congress adopted the decimal system and the mint began to issue the first national currency. Paper money took its place in national currency during the Civil l War. .---ss

 The victims were Jacob NesIeslas . German laborer, aged 52 years; his wife; their daughter. 25 years of age, and Iatterss infant child. The stifrened bodies and the bloodstained axe alone remained to outline the story when the crime was discovered by the neigh bors.
 Whether the butchery was the work of a maniac or of a person seeking revenge was not disclosed in the first cursory Investigation It was 1earn- ed that the young mother of the in- fant had been living away from her husband for some time and efforts to find him were begun.

aNR. HILL STILL
 COMPLAININGn
fNew Britain Herald, Ind. }

fNew Britain Herald, Ind.)
 Two years absence from the public crib has not added any kindIiness to the political feeling of our esteemed fellow citizen, Ebenezer J. Hill of NorwaIk. who had been In congress for a. number of years and would probably be there yet, enjoying the salary and handing out bunk to the people of the country on the tariff and other things, if he had notmet Jeremiah Donovan two years ago. A1r Donavan took him into camp and since then MT. Hill has been visiting various cities in the state and weep ing over the alleged weakness of the Democratic administration at Wash ineton. MT. Hill has sent a letter to Mayor C1uigIey in reply to an invita- ton to attend a. local Republican cele- bration and has seized upon this op- oorf11ufty to comment on national af- fairs in a partisan spirit, referring to them as a national farce and saying that tI1e busiest men today are the prosperity liars
 There is notFsApg which pleases MT. Hill so much as to hear that men are out of work He likes it and there was no one in congress during his perfod of service who contributed as much to high prices fdleness and to business stagnation as he Tn 1907 he was in congress and MT. Roosevelt was. in the White House and yet there were over z,0o0, 1000 men out of work and the longest bread lines ever known in this country were seen in the large cities; banks refused pay ments and there were real hard times These were the days of the high | tariff which MT. Hfll favored while he was in congress and when the people really felt the pinch of pow i erty. The Democrats reduced th< tarfff and MT. Hill said in this city that if they did not reduce it any low 1 CT than was provided for fby the Un- l derwood bill he had no objection tC it He has evidently forgotten thad now but the people of this city have not forgotten him.

WHAT SANITATION GAN DO

r T WAS FREELY predicted, when the United I States troops landed at Vera Cruz, that as soon as hot weather came, yellow fever or other diseases would break out. Yet the troops have already been subjected td the strain of hot, stuffy, stifling weather, eneryat- ing to degree unknown in any American city Yet there has been no unusual disease.
 Itsis the story of Panama over again By the cleaning up of refuse, disinfeeting of wa ter supplies and elimination of mosquitoes etc. any place on earth can be made whole some.
 Yet while this triumph of science is being accomplished, in a most 1Infavorable spot, deal ing with the ignorant, unprogressive Mexicans in our intelligent country there will be plenty of pfeventable disease this summer.
 Many people will come home from sum mer hotels bearing the germs of typhoid. Many children will have scarlet fever from milk contamination And all these losses can bt avoided, if boards of health will but do their duty, and if the public will cooperate.

It doesn't make a man want to cheer when he finds himself suddenly cut off from his life work But that is part of the game" That's what Captain John H.

THE GOOD NEWS FOR THE WHEAT EATERS

T~HEz WHEAT EATERS and the wheat
 IL growers of the world are nip and .tuck-Iargely tuck. Ten years ago the statis- tlcians said the wheat eaters consumed only four bushels a year. But recently James J. Hill has figured 1t that they are getting away with seven. The inevitable result has been much higher prices. So the news of the big best wheat crop ever raised, with I54, 100000 bushels in Kansas alone means some help on living costs in millions of families.
 Formerly wheat was something of a lux ury. Half of Europe lived on black bread In the United States simple country people used shastX pudding and corn cake Many. economically minded families of the older days never had white bread, save when the minister or other dignitaries called Now the same fam lilies are buying wheat cereal preparations put Iup in a wasteful manner in small packages with fancy paper coverings.
 The cereal habit has enormously increased the wheat caters The old time rustic family had for breakfast sausage, hash, liver, or often steaks warmed over roasts. A similar diet
 means bankruptcy to-day. The simple mod ern morning meal of cereal toast or muffins coffee, eggs when possible, and fruit, of which wheat is the backbone, looks terribly skimpy and parsimonious to your older country cous- 1 ins Yet to modern taste it seems fresher and more invigoratng
 It will be interesting to know whether this l is due to weather luck, or to the spread of bet I ter farming information. Probably it is owing I to both Ordinarily it is slow work to educate
 the farmers. England spent 40 years in rais- ling her production per acre from II to 34 bush els The United States has been wantonIy
 careless in farm methods. For 20 years it raised it's wheat production only two bushels sper acre.

NO HELP FOR 'EFFIGIENCY.s

TT CANNOT be said that Mayor Wilson has 1 contributed anything to make his, watch word efficiency more than a mere word by his failure to reappoint Larry Gill to the board of assessors. Mr. Gill was reckoned one of the most efficient members of the board, perhaps, in virtue of his familiarity with the duties, the most efficient member. His appointment would have been for the. good of the service, and would not have been tainted by the odor of doubtful political bargains.

BBDGEp0RT PAVING CONTRACTS GIVE 2. IT NO CLAIM FOR ASPHALT IN ITS PAVING

NTHER CITIES, when they contract for bi- N0 luminous rnaeadan pavement make Hcontracts which enable them to get what they contract for. A bitnminous macadau is mix ture of crushed stone and asphalt mixed in a heat. and rolled down upon 8 properly graded roadway.
 It is very important in the construction of such highways to know that the asphalt is of a high quality. .The chemists have developed many tests, by which the ducflity and strength of the material are tested and its quality aseer- tained to certainty. The requirements nec- |essary to this quality are usually put into con tracts for this kind of paying.
 The Common Council ordered Director Gourtade to make contract for bituminous macadam
 But so far as the contract which Director EGourtade has made is concerned, the City of Bridgeport isn't entitled even to asphalt.
 The COurtade contract calls for a mixture of crushed stone and TVARRENITE CEMENT. Warrenite cement is whatever the sellers of it choose tosay it is It may be good asphalt, or it may be bad asphalt, or it may not be as phalt at all. It is whatever is furnished. The contractors can say of anything they furnish, E'sthis is Marrenite cement. Warrenite cement is what we agreed to furnish and WaFrenite ce- ment is what you are getting
 There are few communities in which such a contract would be acceptable.

of the Grand Opera at the La Sea-
la, Milan, Italy, the real home Of
Grand Opera, so say the Italians
and also sang with the San Carlo
Opera Co., of Naples. 1t was not
easy to induce these singers to
leave their native land where they
were regarded as great successes.
but the lure of America finally
prevailed. Both are excellent So
lCists and sing in duets as well as
solos. Madame Bellini is an ac-
complished pianist as well as sing
er; Signor Monetti was for seve-
raj seasons one of the leading ten
ors at the La Scala Grand Opera
in Milan. They appear in attrac-
tive Neapolitan costumes, their
personalities are unusual, to put it
as boy, who heard them, said
They sing just as if they cannot
