for the reason that sellers were deter
mined TO force the market higher, while
buyers were a little backward about rats

trade a. slow. steady TO 100 higher would
just about cover the Situation.

mand and anything desirable was gen

A very peculiar case was tried
in the Circuit Court at Palmyra
this week. Clarence Rogers Of the
Warren neiehborhood was charged
with having raped Virginia Sewers,
both of whom were ID years of age
at the time. The parents OF the
boy are deaf and dumb, and the
evidence developed that the mother
of the girl died when she was two
weeks old. and that her father left
home when she was two years old
and she had not seen him since
The prosecution failed to make a
case by substantial evidence and
the defendent was discharged. The
defendant was represented by
Merriwether & Merriwether of
this city.

LOST MONEY BY DETECTION
Baron kordensklold, Tempted by Of.
fered Honor. Made Mistake When
. He Accepted It

When the late Baron Nordensh'l!t
was at CsylOu on the way home fr,.
his Journey along the northern coast
OF Siberia he received telegram
from the Russian government asking
him whether he would accept from
the Czar a certain decoration as an
appreciation OF mis- services 10 Russia
For many days the famous explorer
wavered. as he was a member Of
Bjornson's Authorization club, whose
members were solrwnly pledged never
to accept any decoration from any
body.
Nordepskjold, however. could not re
sist the temptation. so he replied to
the telegram in the affirmative. II is
not hard to imagine his disappoint-
ment when upon reaching home a
friend OF his. a hish official, told him
the following:
The Russian government was well
aware OF your antagonistic views in
regard to decorations and had there
fore placed in readiness 100000 rub!es
to be paid you in the event OF your
refusing 20 accept the insignia, but be-
fore paying that sum they wanted 10
try your firmness. Russia is certainly
grateful 10 you for your failure 10 live
up to your pledge"

Experimental Concrete Road.

during wet weather. On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement Of the sand particles will
be OF value. AS long as the road Is
damp, the surface tension OF the capil.
larry water acts as a binder and holds
the separate grains OF sand in place.
All efforts should. therefore, be direct.
ed toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder. The addition of clay furnishes
positive binder and is really the best
and most permanent treatment The
addition OF any fbrous material such
as straw, spent tan bark. sage brush
or pine needles is OF value and, when
spread on the road and covered with
a thin coat OF sand or allowed TO work
into the surface. will make an almost
impossible sand road fairly good for q
time. But the best way to treat bad
place, whether on a clay or a sand
road, Is to treat 1t before II gets bad.
Immediate attention TO small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam.
