being puddled by the horses hoofs and wagon wheels, can be smoothed out and properly shaped before dry ing then the ideal is attained, and this smoothing and shaping is the work accomplished by the road drag. The water standing in pools and pud- dies is spread out over a larger sur face, so that it dries quickly, the min- ute holes or pores in the clay are smeared over and closed, making the surface more nearly waterproof; the ruts and holes are gradually filled up and made smooth, and just enough earth is moved toward the middle to give the proper crown. The result is a smooth, hard, well-shaped road which will shed water and never be- comes very muddy in wet weather or very dusty in dry weather.
 From the above discussion 1t can readily be seen that dragging should be done when the road is wet, or at least when it is moist. The exact time to drag any given road will de pend upon the character of the road material, and no exact rule can be given which will fit all cases. If traf- f1c can be kept off from the dragged portion for awhile then the road may be dragged when it is very wet and sloppy, but if wagons are going to follow right behind the drag, making deep ruts as soon as the old ones are filled up, the dragging must be deferred until the road has partly dried out. Good judgment and experi- ence on the part of the operator will soon tell him what is the best time to drag any given road. Roads which dry out quickly must be dragged im- mediately after a rain, while others may be allowed to dry for several days before being dragged. Dragging a dry road simply makes it dusty. Dragging should be done, if possible, after every rain, and as soon there after as conditions are right.

Shot the Negro Minister.

the negro, still alive, rolled under the table, and she, too, attempted to fire shot.
 Officers in the court room hurried ly disarmed Mrs. Dorsett and placed her under arrest on a charge of as- sault with intent to kill. She was soon released on a $2,0O0 bond. The shot caused wild stampede in the court room, which was filled mostly with negroes.
 Order was restored, and within 30 minutes the jury returned a verdict of guilty against Jones, providing for a sentence of 50 years in the peniten- uary.
 Officer Dorsett, with fellow detec- tive, John Clifford, was shot by Jones on the night of August 6 while investi- gating the alleged theft of a dog by the negro preacher. Dorsett was kill ed almost instantly and Clifford was seriously wounded. The negro was arrested the following day.

SURFACING THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily Used in Building Roads Are Too Expensive-FeW
 Good Suggestions.

Many of the materials ordinarily employed in road construction will be found too expensive for use in improv- ing the farm roads. One or more Of the following will, however, usually be found available and within the means of the farmer for surfacing his roads and paths: gravel, mixtures of sand and clay, cinders, brfckbats from old buildings, brickyard waste and quarry waste. The material selected should, however, be hard enough to withstand crushing under heavy loads and possess sufficient binding power to compact well and maintain a firm, hard surface under all ordinary wealth CT conditions.

THE NEW METHOD
Ry L. W. Bower. M. D.

Backache of any kind is often caused by kidney disorder. which means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poison within the body in great abundance, overworking the sick kidneys; hence the congestion of blood causes backache in the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes headache. You be- come nervous. Respondent, sick, feverish, irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambi- ton to do things.
 The latest and most effective means of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar ingly of meat, drink plenty of water be- tween meals and take single An-u-ric tablet before each meal for while.
 Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anuric, double strength.

Wealthy Mining Engineer Victim of Strange Case of Mis-

After Ten Months Alexander p. Ma. cauIey Establishes His Innocence on SwindIing charge-Judge
 and Prosecutor Offer
 Their Apologies.

New York.-After he had spent $50,- 900 to prove he was not someone else, Alexander P. Macauley, wealthy min- ing engineer of Toronto, Ontario, won judicial recognition of his identity, when Judge Mcintyre, in general ses- sions, dismissed an indictment against him for alleged forgery. An unusual spectacle was presented when MT. Ma cauley stood up in court, and, with wan smile, received the regrets of judge and prosecutor that he had been bounded as a clever criminal for near ly ten months.
 Edwin P. Kilroe, assistant district attorney, related the remarkable case of mistaken identity of which MT. Ma cauley's physiognomy and a resource full swindler had made him the victim with prevalence and recurrence that drove him to despair, worried him into a lengthy illness and chained him to the rock of general suspicion and dis trust.

Roads and drives immediately around the farmyard and barns which are used very frequently are usually of sufficient importance to warrant some surface improvement. Very light or extremely sandy soils cut up badly in dry weather, while certain heavy and absorbent soils become very sticky and soft during the rainy season. Where any considerable amount of hauling is necessary, roads over soils or this character may require to be surfaced.

renee Keough," and the time he se- lected for his operations earned for him the sobriquet "Christmas Ke- ough." Invariably he passed the bo- gus checks on a Saturday or on the afternoon before Christmas to gain time to get away before their presen- tation.
 Keough had swindled merchants out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and the American Bankers associa- ton had trailed him in vain when he made his appearance in this city on Saturday, December 23, last. In seven jewelry and clothing establishments that afternoon and evening he obtain ed $2,5O0 in merchandise and money on forged checks. The checks were signed "G. H. Meighan," and to each victim he handed a card reading "G. Fl. Meighan, mining engineer, Domin- ion Bank building, Toronto, Canada" Similar checks were passed in St. Louis on December %.
 Arrested in St. Louis.
 By trick of fate MI. Macauley had arrived in St. Louis on December 23 and registered at a hotel with his family. After he had admitted he was a mining engineer he was arrested by an agency detective. Although he proved to the satisfaction of the St. Louis police he was not the man wanted, he was brought to this city, where every swindled merchant iden- tif1ed him as "G. H. Meighan." He was indicted in January on three counts for alleged forgery, under the alias of "Christmas Keough.'
 Members of the Canadian parlia- ment and public officials and business men of Toronto wrote to District At torney Swann, asserting their belief in MT. Macauley's innocence and cer- tifying to his high standing. MT. Swann assigned MT. Kilroe to investi- gate. MT. Kilroe went to cities in a dozen states in which Keough had operated and examined nearly 50 wit nesses there and in Toronto.
 While i'll in the Manhattan hotel here from worry and humiliation over his arrest, MT. Macauley received word that forged checks on the Toronto bank signed "J. H. Paget' had been passed on Chicago storekeepers.
 The Chicago shopkeepers came here and declared MT. Macauley was not the man who had bunkoed them, but merchants here continued to persist in their identification of him. Not un- til recently was it proved bey ond doubt that MT. Macauley was inno- cent. Keough is still nt large.
