Oscar Wetter was well known in

Thieves Busy Again.

The Riverside hotel has been Wis
tied by sneak thieves seven times
during the past winter, and another
attempt to purloin eatables from the
basement of the building was made
early last Friday morning, between
the hours of 2 and 3 O'Clock. Land
lord Bringleson happened to be up
and around, however, and succeeded
in foiling the attempt. although the
trespassers fired two bullets from a
32-calibre revolver at him. One of
the bullets passed his head too close
for comfort. and he heard it buzz as
it passed his ear. Both of the bull
let's lodged in the window sill of a
downstairs bedroom where Raymond
Vanderhoof, Mrs. Bringleson's f.
year-old son sleeps, and had they
been few inches higher the little
boy might have been fatally
wounded. 1t is very evident that
the thieves are not troubled with a
conscience, and if, apprehended they
should be given the extreme penalty
of the law.

the organization teaches were also
commended. The speaker expressed
his admiration for the members who
affiliate with the order, in the hope
of being able to assist in worthy
work, but frowned upon those who
joined in selfish spirit. The high
ideals of life which are ever held up
before members were cited as an
other feature which makes the or
ganization a power for good, and the
speaker stated that that which de-
stroys selfishness and replaces it
with helpfulness is bound to be
worth while. The spirit of good fell
lowship and the fraternal feeling
which imbues all true members were
also cited as evidences of the uplift-
ing influence being exerted, and Mr..
Nye stated that the enormous men,
bership of the order was conclusive
proof that it had proven it's worth to
the world at large as we'll as the
members. In conclusion the speaker
expressed sincere pleasure at being
able to participate in the local OBJ

establishment of the organiza tion,
and wished the Princeton Odd Eel

he had the close attention of the
audience throughout his discourse.
He has pleasing personality, and
it was a pleasure to Princeton citi-
zens to meet and hear him. The

the audience with few delightful
selections, and Messrs. Guy Ewing

but timely remarks while the final
preparations for the supper were be-

Changes in the Road Law.

Here are some of the changes in
the Dunn road law: There may be
as many as four road overseers in
each town; voters to determine the
number at town meeting For the
year 1915 the supervisors may ap-
point additional road overseers of
their own volition. Town and
county boards are given complete
control of town and county roads.
The highway commission is Obliged
to defray all the expenses of assist
ant state highway engineers. State
money can be expended on state
roads within village limits to the
extent of $1,000 if the board of
county commissioners SO determine.
The provision that required counties
to construct or improve all bridges
that originally cost $1,000 or more
has been eliminated. In cases of
emergency, where roads have been
rendered impossible from windfall or
other cause, the overseer of the dis
trict in which the road is located is
required to forthwith render the
road passable, and if it is state
road the county is required to pay the
cost thereof. 1t is made the duty of
county attorneys to prosecute OBJ
structors of roads. County boards
are given the right to construct
bitches for the purpose of draining
state roads. Town boards can i'm
prove cartways when they deem it
necessary in the interest of the pub
lie. Final payment can not be made
on any contract exceeding 5000 until
certificate is filed by the town or
county board in the office Of the
county auditor or the town clerk, as
the case may be, that the work has
been properly done and according to
contract. Under the 1913 law the
assistant highway engineer was
obliged to file such certificate. A
share of the state road and bridge
fund may be expended on town as
well as county roads.

A Valuable Philippine Agent.

After two days. soiourn with his
brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. J. Skahen, Mr. P. L. O'ReilIy
left for Washington, D. G., yester-
day morning. Mr.. O'Reilly is the
sole agent in the United States for
the sale of the handiwork of the
natives of the Philippine Islands.
He had just returned from a trip to
the Pacific coast. He visits all the
large centers of population in the
country and probably disposes of
Filipino products to the amount of
500. 900 annually; single orders for
plated wares and embroideries by
some Of the large department. stores
will oftentimes amount to several
thousand dollars. The Filipinos are
very skilful with the needle and
turn out beautiful plated work;
some of their hats are equal to the
best Panamas. The government
officials in the Philippines encourage
the natives to become Industrious
and self-supporting by assisting in
furnishing market: for their wares
in this country. Mr.. O'ReilIy would
not be surprised, however, if a new
policy were adopted that would not
necessitate his services.
