cite, whose husband is in the county
jail awaiting trial for the Staying of
Jose Resendez at Lafayette on the
night of Nov. 23, is at the University
hospital dying of broken heart
Physicians who are attending her say
there is nothing the matter with her
except grief over the arrest of her
husband. On the night of the shoot

told his wife what had happened, she
says. She was then in the best of
health, but was seized with terror
over the probable consequences to her
husband, and advised him 10 give him.

Since then she has been gradually
growing weaker and was brought to
this city from Lafayette for treat
ment. The physicians who ere attend
ing her sent word to Sheriff Buster
that she would die unless she could
see her husband, for whom she has
been continually calling Mr.. Buster
agreed to take him to the hospital
every day for few hours pending his
trial.

FAMOUS RIVERS
the Pittsburg Post.

From the rittsburg Post.
 A tributary of the Elbe. Germanys most famous river next to the Rhine, has been made immortal by great battle on it's banks This was the battle of Hohenln- den, fought in winter between the combined forces of France and Bavaria under the great military genl1s, General Moreau. and the Austrians. The latter were defeated with loss of 1s.000 men. The victors lost 90o0 but captured 7 of the enemy guns and took 1000 prisoners. Immediately after this battle an English bard wrote one of his finest odes upon it.
 Another famous little river a tribu- tary of the pandbe, which itself has seen more fighting, Icrhaps. than any other stream in Europe except the Rhine, is the Nibel Upon this stream stands the village at Eierhe;m, after which the splendid palace of the Duke of Marlbor- oush sift from the British nation, is called.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 The opponents of votes for women who urge that women have no interests at stake in politics, that the home is her. medically sealed chamber through the walls of which nothing can reach mother, wife or sister, should read the list of bills concerning women which have been acted upon by the state legislatures of our coun- try in the past year.
 Suffrage is, of course the measure of woman's political activity. Twenty-two state legislatures considered the ques- tion. Half of them defeated the meas ure, many by close votes. Seven referred constitutional amendments to the voters for decision this fall or next. The re- mainder are still considering
 But importance of politics to women is much more sharply demonstrated by other measures considered and enacted. Twen- weight states took up bills vitally af- fecting women in questions of marriage, divorce work and maternity.

days of the heavy fighting the Germans offered the French a truce that they might bury their dead. The French re- fused the offer. The Germans made the offer second time and again 1t was re- fused. When the story of these offers, which Herbert Corey and sent to Amer ica. reached Rome the pope requested both combatants to cease fighting long enough to permit the dead to be buried. The French again declined. Thereupon, Emperor William issued special order to the effect that truce was to be accept ed at any time by the German forces to permit the burial of the dead at this point of the line, no matter what opera 1 tions were in progress.

The Business Outlook

Every week marks an improvement in the steel trade. Domestic demand for steel products is not very brisk at the present tune, but war supply orders from the allies are heavy enough to offset in large degree the lack of home trade. At any rate certain of the steel plants are operat- ing at something above 80 per cent of their ingot capacity.
 As long as the European war con- tinues the demand for war material fabricated in the United States will continue, and as soon as hostilities cease business in this country will begin to boom.
 If there is now Hull in general trade it will soon be followed by healthy activity. Enormous crops are in sight. The greatest wheat crop ever produced is being harvested and the grain farmers will have more money this fall than they have ever had in any previous year.
 In the south the condition of the cotton crop varies according to the sections. In some areas of the cotton belt the boil weevil will play havoc, while in others the pest will be negligible quality. The best sta tisticians estimate that the new crop will not exceed 12,000,000 bales, but with good prices and with a wider diversification of crops this year the south should enjoy exceptional pros- perity.
 On the whole the crop outlook is such as to cause buoyant feeling throughout the business world. There is scarcely any branch of industry or commerce that will not be stimu- lated by the bountiful harvests.

Birmingham Rome Highway

The recent visit of a large party of prominent business men of Rome, Ga., to Birmingham in the interest of the proposed highway connecting the two cities aroused much enthusi- asm here, and it is believed that a large party will go to Rome next month to return the visit. A Gadsden delegation will join the Bir- mingham party. There is to be a great Fourth of July celebration in Rome by way of entertaining the visitors.
 The road from Rome to Birmingham will be branch of the Dixie high i way and it will be an attractive link in the Lakes-to- the Gulf or Jackson highway.
 It is proposed to adopt as the of- ficial title of this Birmingham-R Rome branch the Forrest highway in honor of General Forrest. The Dixie high way will be via Chattanooga and At lanta, but many automobile tourists from the north will leave that line at Rome and come to Birmingham and from here proceed to the gulf by the way of Montgomery. The route be- tween Rome and Birmingham is par 1 ticularly attractive on account of it's rugged scenery and it is the purpose of the promoters of this connecting link to have the roadbed 60 feet wide and constructed of hard material, so that it will be equal to the finest city boulevard.
 The Jackson highway, by the way of Louisville, Nashville and the Deca- turs, will be carried to completion as soon as possible, but the enterprise of immediate interest is the branch from Rome to Birmingham via Gadsden- distance of only 120 miles. i During the past ten years the good roads movement has been pushed in every part of the United States. A systematic agitation has been kept up and the results have more than justified the movement. The cause never flags. People grow tired of some subjects, but not of the good roads agitation. We cannot have too many modern highways.
 Many of the prospective visitors to
 Rome for the Fourth of July event
 will, of course, provide their own
 auto cars, but the Chamber of Com
 merce will make provision for seal
 in an automobile for anyone desiring to take the trip whether he owns g car or not. The bigger the delegation the better.
