ways

9th. We believe that the construc-
ton Of certain trunkline highways al
ready begun by the state in conjunc-
ton with the federal government,
should be continued under competent
engineering direction; that such high
ways should be of such character as
to merit the name of permanent roads,
and that the state should take advan-
tage of all such federal aid as may be
forthcoming. The back roads in each
township should not be neglected, but
should gradually be brought up to such
standard as will permit the travelling
Of our highways at all seasons Of the
year.
10th. We favor such action by the
federal government as will enable the
people of the state to take advantage
of the Deeper Waterways movement,
that our lake ports may be given an
outlet and the consumers and shippers
of the state the advantage of water
transportation.
Upon this statement of principles
we confidently appeal to the voters OF
the state for their hearty support.

ing here Tuesday, but no trades
resulted from the discussions inso-
far as close observation could tell
Monday night.
AT an informal meeting of Ma
tional league members the subject
of war taxes proved to be the most
interesting topic. Previous to the
meeting Pres't Tenor had appoint
ed a committee consisting of Sec'y
John Heydler of the league. John
Foster Of the New York club and

to consult with government officials
relative to the payment of war
taxes on passes to baseball games.
At the meeting this committee was
empowered TO widen its scope and
TO include the entire war tax prob
lem as it will concern baseball.
The old Federal league peace
agreement likewise came up at he
meeting of the National LEAGUE
members. A representative of the
Federal league was present for the
purpose, according to Pres't Tener
"Of seeing if the matter could not
be forwarded" Pres't Tener stated
that inasmuch as the meeting was
entirely formal no action was TAX
en-. but il was stated, unofficially,
but reliably that the Federal league
will be paid shortly and finis writ

is concerned.
Owing to the absence OF Pres't
Johnson of the American league,
who wired that he was snowbound
in Chicago and could not reach
here until Tuesday morning, the
annual meeting Of the commission
was postponed until its American

The Countess Ingenheim was
sweet girl who really loved Fred

beer content TO remain in obscurity
and to enjoy his affection without
being thrown violently, as was the
case, before the notice Of the pub
lie. Everybody who knew her liked
her and Ditied her-every one with
the exception of her rival in the af-
fections of the king, the Countess
DonhOfI. The latter was a cruel
and am bilious woman, who tried to
eliminate the unfortunate Julie Won
Ingenheim and TO ruin her in the
eyes Of their common lover. To

upbraided her in the most violent
terms and would have turned her
out Of the palace had not the queen
herself interfered, and taken pity
on the girl who had supplanted her.
Poor Julie was so broken-hearted
that she gave premature birth TO

went into a rapid decline.
AS Julie lay dying the Countess
DOnhoff broke into her room, 10

woman whose rival she had been.
This proved too much for the mis-

king 10 spare her this last insult.
But Frederick william had not suf-

mistress out of the apartment, and
Julie Won Ingenheim in the pres
ence of this weakness rose up in
her bed and cursed both the man
for whose sake she had fallen and

she would haunt them and their
