Will Gravel Every Road

!, Every mile of the road system in
Buena Vista county is to be surfaced
with gravel just as soon as possible.
The contract has already been let for
about thirty miles, which is to be COM
.pleted this year. Prof. T. R. Agg,. road
expert of Iowa State College, and F..
r.. White, roads engineer of the state
highway commission, were in the coun-
ty, from which the gravel is to be tax.
|en.
BY the end of next season, every
road in the county will be put to per.
|manent grade. BY that time, too, prac-
tically all old wooden bridges in the
county will be replaced by modern
steel or concrete structures. The work
OF travelling is to proceed steadily
each season until completed. .,.s !, {
"This goes to show" says Professor
Agg in speaking Of the work. that II
a county adopts comprehensive pro.
gram and then sticks to it, an adequate
road system may be secured even with
1.-THE revenue at present being obtained.
TT will require longer time in the
southern counties than in the northern,
however. because OF typographical con-
lditions."

Family sounded, church, bells. ringing
Chimes OF. peace, for day of rest.

From their towers, dim. and far

But across that quiet landscape
Suddenly dark shadows passed, i.
And the thunder's heavy rumble
Told a storm was rising fast.

And all nature shook and trembled
With the coming of the storm.
All things bowed in meek submission
AS the mighty roar. and crash

Wind and rain and lightning flash.
All the elements seemed battling
In conflict wild and grand,
While the angry storm clouds gath

Furious hosts at their, command.

DECISION not
MEANT AS SLAM,
clemens SAYS

That the decision handed down by
Federal Judge Charles F. Clemens
yesterday, regarding the charging of
certain fees in bankruptcy matters
and in which, the decision says, il
might be suggestive of graft TO
charge 10 cents for envelope and pa
per with which to send notices to
creditors, must not be taken as a re-
Election upon the federal court clerk
or any of his predecessors, is the
statement given the Star-Bulletin by
Judge Clemens today.
Judge Clemens calls particular at,
tention to a paragraph in the deci-
sion reading as follows:
These observations are not intend
ed as refleeting in the slightest upon
the clerk or any of his predecessors
in office or upon the clerks elsewhere
But feel, still, that the effect of the
practise here disapproyed is none the
less as have characterized il.
Judge Clemens decision finds that,
in bankruptcy matters, a fee of 10
cents should not BE charged for send
ing each notice sent to creditors The
SO filing fee, the judge believes,
should cover this expense.

JOKED GAILY ON
DAY Chosen TO
TAKE HER LIFE

Although it is thought she had. her
death all planned early yesterday
morning, Mrs. Lucy Christian laugh
ed and joked with her husband at
breakfast yesterday and after he left
did her Homework, put everything in
good order, and then went out and
bought the ant poison with which she
killed herself.
Mrs. Christian was confined in the
insane asylum for six months and re-
Gently told her husband that before
she would go back she would take her
own life. The only possible reason
for the suicide is that the woman be-
lieved she was again becoming in
sane.
At an inquest at 1880 today a cor
oner's jury brought in a verdict OF
death by suicide.
When John Christian returned yes
terday afternoon from his work with
the Hawaiian Dredging Company to
his home in Kalihi he found the back
door locked, and going to the front
door opened it and found the body OF
his wife lying on the floor, with a
hottie of ant poison beside it. Seeing
that Mrs Christian was dead he call
ed the police station at once.
Neighbors said they saw Mrs. Chris.
tan go out yesterday morning, and
it is presumed she bought the ant
poison then, as her husband says
there was none in the house.

Ribbon "White Elephant"

Three yards of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby a great problem as
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount Of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be estimated. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
colored and Of exquisite heavy quail
fty.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson, N. ]. There
was no message inclOsed, the package
being addressed simply to "The Con-
science Fund, Washington, D. c." 1t
is presumed that the ribbon itself was
struggled in and is now surrendered.

kitchen and the head chef by means Of
a telephone. The fastidious diner, in
stead Of trusting the fine points of his
order to a mere waiter, tells them d.

he can have his steak cooked to the
