An agitation for road supervision
and disbursement Of road funds ty
district school boards is icing made in
this section, and is meeting with ap'
proyal. The proposition has for its
inception the handling of road funds
derived from road tax levy by the dis
trict, and expended within the district
under the jurisdiction Of the district
school board instead Of under the
County Court as at present. Those
who favor the new method proposed
contend that letter roads would result
from the fact that tax could be lev.
led by the district to conform with
local conditions, and when once the
roads were In good state Of repair,
the tax levy could be lessened. Friends
of the movement contend that batter
roads for less money would result un-
der the new plan. A bill along the
lines proposed will Doubtless be in
t-oduoed at the next session of the

FRANCIS JOSEPH
DIES AF FTE:R 68
YEARS ON THRONE

LONDON, Nov. ga Vienna dis
patch, via Amsterdam, received here
today, says Emperor Francis Joseph
o. Austria, died late Tuesday night.
He had been critically ill during sew
eral days, and death was not unex-
pected.
Emperor Francis Joseph died prae-
tically in harness, according to a news
agency dispatch from Amsterdam. He
arose at his usual hour Tuesday and
attended to much government business,
giving several audiences during the
day. Another dispatch said the aged
emperor was feverish dring yesterday
afternoon and unable to partake of the
evening meal. He was assisted to his
bed chamber, and being unable tn
sleep, physicians were called in. He
seemed to feel better about 8 O'clock
but few minutes later made ges-
ture toward his throat and a minute
later was dead The general pubii@
was not aware of the serious nature
of his illness.
Francis Joseph, whose death is q
remarkable climax to the long list of
tragedies in the Hapsburg family, was
sc years old, having been born August
1880. He was nineteen when he as
cended the Austrian throne, succeeding
Ferdinand l., who abdicated December
2, 1S4S, and his active reign had ex-
tended over period of 6S years.
The ultimatum of July 23, 1914,
when precipitated the present world
war was sent by Francis Joseph to
King Peter of Serbia and denounced
the anti-Austrian propaganda in that
country besides demanding prompt
punishment of the assassins of Arch
duke Ferdinand, was dictated by Fran
els Joseph himself Five days later
Serbia had complied with all of the
demands except agreeing to allow
Austrian authorities to enter Serbia
to stamp out the alleged anti-Aus-
trian eonspiracies, whereupon F>ancix
Joseph declared war.
