bridge materials have increased ma
terially since the estimates were made
for the bridge year ago.
Awarded a Year Ago.
A year ago, the Burke construction
company was awarded a contract to
erect truss bridge. The foundation
was laid and then the commissioners
and Mr.. Burke agreed to break the
contract because 1t was decided to
dredge the creek. The construction
company was paid for what work 1t
had done. In July. 1916, an additional
appropriation Of 500 to the original
for the bridge was allowed by the
council. This was found not to be
sufficient and another additional ap-
preparation will be asked at the
emergency meeting Of the council to
be held soon The commissioners
favor the girder type.
The construction company agreed
to leave its bid in effect until the
additional appropriation could be
granted provided the prices of ma
terials do not increase in the mean
time.
Other Contracts Let.
Contracts for the erection of the
other bridges for which bids were
opened Saturday will be drawn with
the low bidders except in the case Of
the Flatley bridge. Webster township.
The low bid of George w. Johnson,
$3.50, was turned down and the con-
tract will be let to l. E. Smith whose
bid was 1915. The low bid was turned
down because Deputy Surveyor Hor-
ton said that it was not sufficient to
bear the cost of the labor and ma
terials needed to put the bridge in
right.
The Chicago Bridge and Iron COM
pany was awarded the contract for in
stalling the new water system at the
poor farm.

Bill! At MURRAY
BRINGS BIG JUGGLERS

The Wartenberg Brothers at the
Murray the first half of this week who
hill themselves as double foot jugglers
are great, and it is without any exag-
geration whatever that word Great
is applied in describing their act.
They open the act with very
pretty number on the mandolin and
guitar and when this is finished start
their marvellous foot Juggling, in a re-
clining position, on pedestals. They
juggle large balls, kegs, etc, with
their feet. At one time they keep four
balls in the air passing them from one
to the other. this Is really remark
able act. and one that must be seen to
be appreciated. The original Marimba
Band and three other big acts make
up the bill that opens at the Murray

national ticket against nineteen Moose

that eighteen Democrats are to sup

Against Her Husband, From
Whom She Is Separated.

LONDON. June 81, IL noon.-Mrs. Rita
Armstrong Drexel. wife of Anthony J.
Drexel. the American banker, was
given judgment against her husband
for a yearly allowance of $4,000 by
Justice Neville in the chancery court
today. g1Nx
When the case was last before the
court. in December. 1915, Mr.. Drexel
contested the jurisdiction of the Eng
lish courts on the ground that he was a
resident of France. This point was de-
cided against him. and when court
opened today the bankers attorney said
that as it had been decided that the
English courts had jurisdiction he
could not defend the case.
Separation Occurs in 1911.
Mrs. Drexel separated from her hus-
band in 1911. while they were living in
London. and it was announced that she
proposed to institute divorce proceed
tngs. These proceedings were dropped

entered into by which Mrs Drexel was
to receive an annual sum of $500 and
i've policies on the life of her husband,
aggregating 100000. which were to be
assigned to a trustee and held for her
benefit in event of the bankers death

for divorce in Paris and stopped the
allowance to his wife. The present suit
was the result Of this action

Gardner Says 40 Years Will
Be Needed to Equip Militia
at Rate in Army Measure.
SETS "a YEARS AS TIME
TO COLLECT MUNITIONS
Bay State Scion Says Congress Must
Follow Recommendations of
Treat Board.

II will take forty years to equip th'
National Guard with proper artillery at
the rate specified in the army appropria-
ton bill, and thirty-four years to accumu-
late sufficient ammunition. according to
Representative A. P. Gardner of Massa-
chusetts in a speech in the House today
Representative Gardner was discussing
the army appropriation bill. He said. in
part:
Forty Years to Equip Militia.
This bill appropriates 100000 for
artillery for the National Guard. At that
rate Of appropriation II will take little
over forty years &c accumulate the can
non necessary to equip National Guard
Of the size provided in the new army act
This bill also appropriates sS,o0o,ooo for
ammunition for the artillery of the Ma
tional Guard. At that rate, thirty-four
years will elapse before we can accumu-
late sufficient artillery ammunition to
equip the citizen soldiery which we have
just voted to provide during the next five
years.
when Gen. Crozier. chief of ordnance,
came before Chairman Hays commit
tee on military affairs he told the mem
bers that over $4,000, 900 for field guns
must be appropriated in the next four
years if the new National Guard is to
be equipped according to the estimates
laid down in 1911 by the so-called
Greble board of officers Gen. Crozier
pointed out, however. that twice this
amount of money would be necessary
in the next four years If the recon-
mendations of the Treat board are fol-
lowed.
Must Follow Latter Board.
The Treat board, so called after its
chairman. Col. Treat, has recently re-
ported on the needs of the United
States Army in the matter of artillery.
The Treat board was appointed in con-
sequence of the changed conditions
arising out of the European war. I'm
questionably. Congress must in the
end follow the judgment of this latter
board, rather than the judgment of the
old board, which reported in 1911.
Gen CroHer asked for the modest
appropriation of 81 100000 for machine
guns for the National Guard. For some
reason or other this item was entirely
omitted from the bill; but the machine
gun appropriation for the regular army
is far too small 1t is calculated on
the basis of five machine guns to a
regiment. whereas the War Depart
ment has now. calculated on twelve
guns to regiment"
