TO ENTER POWERFUL BOAT

G.. G. Eddy OF Saginaw, Mich, will
enter one of the most remarkable
boats ever built, In the Mississippi
Valley Power Boat Association re-
gatta at st. Paul July 4, and 6. The
craft is 16-foot hydroplane built this
season and powered with a 4 cylinder
motor developing 10 horse power
The motor was built especially for the
requirements of this boat and turns
1000 revolutions per minute. The pis-
ton displacement is only 254 cubic
inches, 80 that II will be eligible to
enter Class A, in which the limit is
256 cubic inches.
In trials conducted at Saginaw, Mr..
Eddy declares, a speed boat of this
size and power, and is faster time than
has ever been made in any of the class
racing events in the Mississippi Valley
in the past In fact the fastest time
in the races OF the association at Han
nibal last year was S9.g miles an
hour. This was the average speed of
the winner, Buffalo Enquirer, in the
free-for-all. However It Is not con-
sidered this represented her actual
capabilities for speed, as there was
little competition TO make extreme
speed necessary.
43 miles an hour at ST. Paul, where
she has been entered, II is likely she
will prove one OF the big surprises OF
the 1916 racing season.
Mr., Eddy also expects to enter his
boat in any other race meets which
may be held by the various boat clubs
in the Mississippi Valley States dur
ing the present season.

Chicago, ILL.,, June THE leased
telegraph wires of the Roosevelt Re-
publican Committee, running from the
Congress Hotel to Oyster Bay, were
cut early today, the telegraph instru-
ments smashed and pictures of Col
onel Roosevelt destroyed or carried
away.
The work of the vandals was done
not in headquarters Of the committee.
but in Room 4. on the main floor of
the hotel, where the telegraph wires
terminate. The destruction was ac-
complished by persons familiar with
the arrangement OF the wires, for only
the leased wires of the Roosevelt Com
tee were cut, while others were left
untouched.
Ono picture of Roosevelt was torn
from the wall and trampled ON the
floor. OF several other pictures there
was no trace. Wreckage of the tele-
graph instruments was scattered
about the floor.
The wires were in use last night I'M
til after midnight. Members of the
Roosevelt Committee and telegraph
opertors declared they had no idea as
to the identity of the vandals.

posted in a stone tomb, sarcOphagus

the end that my remains may never

Mr.. Lyon empowered his executors
to spend $4,000 for his tomb or sar-
cophagus, and directed that ii be large
enough to accommodate his wifes
body as we'll as his own.

RECORDS BROKEN

All coal loading records of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad COM
pany were shattered during the month
of May, 1916, according to official fig
ures showing that, during the month
1851 900, tons we're loaded. This sur
passes by far the record for March,
1916, when all previous records to
that time were broken. May of this
year, however shows an increase over
March of nearly S51 900 tons
officials of the road are very OPP
tlmistic when speaking of the coal
loading figures, which have been on
the steady increase during the past
year The operators in the coal fields
of this district are also we'll pleased,
for their product is on the move faster
than ever before. The figures for
May OF this year are about double
those OF 1915.

THE WAVE OF TINE

(By Geo. w. Adair.)
The tide Of time rolls swiftly by
But never flows back again
And tho for vanished days we sigh
Our grieving is in vain
The MATHS of the rising day
The silver evening of chime
The sounds we love, all float away
Upon the wave of time.
OF what avaid are earthly joys
Or worldly honors vain
The pleasures which true peace de-
stroys
And leaveth but pain?
Life here is but a pilgrimage
Unto a fain chime
Where all past sorrows buried are
Beneath the wave of time.
Let us while here on earth aspire
To reach the brighter world
Where nights dark banner DER the
day
Will never be unfurled
Where Angel hands sweep golden
harps
And seraph-songs sublime
Gush in glad strains of silvery sound
Beyond the wave of time
oh, may we fix our hearts upon
The joys that never decay
Nor heed the fading things of earth
That soon must pass away
The fleeing joys that here we prize
Will with answers decline
And soon forgotten we shall sink
Beneath the wave of time.

GROWTH OF IMPORTS

The administration announces the
volume of exports every month in
trumpet tones, but uses the soft pedal
when il comes to imports. Exports
are running to amazing totals, of
course, on account of the war, and on
account of our ability to furnish
things that the belligerents must
have. The really striking thing about
the figures of our foreign trade for
March is not that exports ran up to
high figures, but that goods were inn
ported to the amount of $214,000,0 900,
a sum $36,O00,OO0 in excess of imports
for any month prior to the war and
500, 100000 more than February, when
the figures surpassed any previous
record for a single month. Our i'm
ports for the first nine months of the
fiscal year were s1,505. 100000, or
S104 ,000,0 900 more than for the same
period in 1913. No wonder far-sight-
ed business men are wondering what
will happen when the end of the war
comes if the Underwood tariff law is
in force at that time. Export bust
ness is necessarily a side issue with
the belligerent nations. Germany and
Austria are exporting no goods at all,
except by roundabout channels. Ships
are scarce. Freight rates are abnor-
mally high. But in suite of all these
disadvantages, more foreign goods
are finding a market here than in
time of peace-Rochester (N. "

SAM STAIRS
Sizes Up the Railroad Situation In
Mays,iile About Right-Drafts
An Ordinance For the City
COuncilmen.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
10 getting cross-eyed In trying to obey
the ordinances of Maysville as the
city Council loops the loops in its eff
through the town. Some time ago the
speed limit OF trains was reduced to
six miles an hour within the corpora
ton. The employees of the road at
once proceeded to comply with the
edict, and the time it required to get
the many mile-long freight trains
from one end of the city to the other
all day long kept the crossings block
ed half the time, either by an east or
west bound train. In week or two
the limit was changed to fifteen miles
an hour. Then a new thought dawned
upon the councilmanic brain, but it
was ordered that engine bells must be
rung at crossings, which meant al
most continuously from one end of the
city to the other, and the police de-
partment gave warning that arrests
would be made for failure to ring the
engine bells The employees of the
road complied with the law, and now
a kick has gone up from those whose
rest was disturbed by the noise of the
merry bell-ringers, demanding that
"kerfew shall not ring tonight" Lest
the State law requiring the blowing of
the whistle or the ringing of the en-
CINE bell, or both, at all public cross
ings, and the Municipal laws prohibit
ing such things conflict, we would
suggest an ordinance and resolution
something like this:
Whereas. the c. & o. Railroad car
ries a whistle and a large brass bell
on each of its engines for the sole
purpose of annoying the residents OF
Maysville, therefore,
BE it ordained, etc, that trains
passing through Maysville shall not
run faster than lame dog can trot,
and no train shall be more than five
minutes passing any public crossing
or street The bell shall be rung at
every crossing in the corporation, but
in such a low, soft tone that it can
not be heard by residents across the
sidewalk. The whistle must be blown
at each crossing. but always in a low
breath not louder than whisper.
Whistles must not be sounded at all;
and II the company finds it necessary
to carry a bell and whistle for signal
purposes, they should be removed
from the engine and placed in the
locker of the caboose before crossing
the corporation line and replaced af-
ter getting out of town. A monograph
may be used while passing through
town, but no record shall be played at
night except: Dream On, Sweet
Dreamer, Dream On!'"
