work early this morning cutting feed

Gaping in the woods on the south side
of tho street between the Elizabeth
water works and Colonial avenue.
They left a horse and wagon after
them. They had loaded about 800
feet of wire when the watehman ap-
peared. The latter took the rig to the
residence of Constable Michael Muir
ply, In Union.
On the wagon appears the name of
Toni Racci, 912 Van Buren, avenue,

of wire along the Morris County Trac-
tion Company's line recently, and
Norman was engaged in an effort to
capture the thieves. Norman found
the men at work on two poles when
he came along at 2:30 o'clock this
morning. When they saw him they
got down from the poles and shot at
him. He returned the fire, and they
turned and ran into the woods. He
followed them for some distance,
firing as he ran.
When he saw they we're outdis-
tancing him he returned and found
the rig at the side Of the road on
a private driveway belonging to the
trolley company.

SALE OF RED CROSS
SEAL STAMPS LACS

The plan of selling Red Cross
stamps at the post office and no other
place in the city is not proving as
successful as was anticipated by Mrs.
A. w. Roach. president Of the Domes-
tic Science association, who is in
charge of the sale. Up to date, $4,000
stamps have been sold, but during the
past three days. there was no place in
the city where stamps could be
bought. There was no representative
Of the Domestic Science association at
the desk in the post office.
All but three of the women who
helped in the house to house canvass
have reported These sales constitute
the bulk of the sales made up to date.
The policy Of placing the stamps in
the stores and hotels was discontinued
this year by Mrs. Roach.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the county outside OF the city, &C
cording to Mrs. Mary T. r. Foulke,
who is distributing the stamps. Re
ports up to date show that 1880 have
been sold. Half of the money receiv-
ed in the sale Of stamps in the county
will be used towards a fund for hiring
a visiting nurse next year.

RAY SWALLOW ARGUES
FOR new RIVER span

Tippecanoe county 10 between $685.
100000 and $40.000.000 or practically
the same as Wayne county. Their
source of revenue for bridges there
fore, Is the same as ours. Their
bridge has two car tracks, two eight
foot walk-ways for pedestrians, is 728
feet between abutments and was pro-
vided for by bond issue Of $780,
900.
The engineers from Purdue have
been here and told US that level
bridge could be constructed at Main
street for the same amount of money.
The bonds covering the Lafayette
bridge mature $4,000 semi-anually
over a ten-year period. That, there
fore, calls for an eight-cent increase
in the tax levy.
Solving the Problems.
Suppose for argument, that We are
not as willing to go down in our peck
cts as our Lafayette neighbors and
that we extend the cost Of construc-
ton over a period of twenty years.
One-haK Of eight cents, or four-cent
increase Of the tax levy will meet the
payment of the bonds. No question CT
cost of construction or of resultant
benefits can therefore arise. Shall
we hand to posterity model of the
bridge builders art and civic beauty
and pride, or hump-backed compro-
mise?
There are reasons why this bridge
should be more than the ordinary
bridge structure. That the National
road will at an early date be taken
over by the government no one dis
putes. We will be on highway that
will make it worth while in dollars
and cents for US to have bridge of
this character. 1,
Let us build it mentally and then
labor to eradicate the objections.

Ray SWALLOW mas submitted the FOL
lowing for publication:
Our Main street bridge question Is
slowly assuming concrete form de-
spite the laxity of public interest and
will Of course sooner or later be built
to the satisfaction or dissatisfaction
of the people who pay for It.
A committee OF officialdom went to
Pittsburg to view and learn of mod
ern and permanent methods Of bridge
building but the information gained
was nihil or else not to be imported
to the public. as we are yet awaiting
to learn the light that Pittsburg can
give US on this subject.
Gods only possible motive In Great
ing the pessimist Is to serve as the
governing wheel of the optimist.
Waiting for News.
We all enjoyed repairing to the west
end OF the Main street bridge last fall
and listening to Prof. Kelly and Joe
Blose tell us of the permanent and
ornamental bridges OF Dayton, O., ETC.,
but when the time comes for action
we shift responsibility and turn our
listening ear toward the pessimist.
Wayne county is one Of the ninety
two integral parts forming the greatest
state OF the worlds greatest country.
It can be presumed, therefore, that
Wayne county is greater than any
thing In the county. Must we then
make the county subservient to any
interest in it or corporation passing
through It. Can the matter OF 300
foot fill or property damage be great
er than a commonwealth.

vincing arguments is comparison. Tip
