al services were held at the house on

friends a large number of both young
and older people and they all join in
sympathy with her brothers and sis
ter in the passing of this excellent
woman to a happier home. She has
been a semi-invalid for many years,
but suffering had made her
otherwise than cheerful and happy.

June 18th, 1855, and moved to Sparta,
Wis, with her parents in 1864 and
to BroOkings county in 1878, In 1892

rents in White and resided in Brook
ings with her sister, Mrs. E. A. Wringt,
until her death and then kept house
for her brother, J. A. Hegeman. She
leaves to mourn her passing a sister,
Mrs. Sarah Hendricks of Dubuque, Ia;
a brother, p. j. Hegeman of Pendle-
ton, Ore, and her brother, John A..
Hegeman of this city. All who know
Miss Hegeman will miss her. but have
happy remembrance of her kindly
disposition and helpful ways.

Watermelon Party Last evening
Mrs. c. E. Poole entertained a small,

feast at her residence. 1t was purely
an informal affair and costumes were
more a matter of comfort than of
style. The melons were good and salt

of four slices without removing her
hat. Music was the entertainment OF
a very pleasant hour after the melons
disappeared, but one Of the best voices
of the city remained mute on account

The capital city has been crowded
with visitors this week, and hotel ac-

facilities just at this time when two
new ones are being built and the old
Slavery is gone. The first of the

a large convention. Overlapping

HOW WILL WE PAY FOR ROADS

Until this year the Cedar Rapids
Republican has always ridiculed all
mention Of road surfacing being pos
sible in Iowa, but in harmony with
the governors progress the Republi-
can can now see that we could have
paved roads across the state each
year out of the automobile licenses
alone since we have been sinking
millions in the mud. The Republi-
Ncan is now debating with Lieutenant
FGovernor Moore as to whether the
paved road should be nine rect wide
or wider.
This is progress all right but it is
also the enthusiasm Of recent con-
vert. The width of roads and the
| ment or gravel, are always local
questions which should be left to en-
gineers who will ascertain the
amount of traffic on the road and the
Material most handy. The road
problem before Lieutenant Governor
Moore is neither the width of the
pavement or even the question Of
paving at all. 1t is one as to how
are We going to pay for the road we
want. Until that is settled we shall
always be stuck in the mud.
A nine foot pavement is Of no val
ue unless there is gravel BERN or
shoulder to keep wheels out Of the
mud when turning out to pass other
vehicles. A single track pavement
with gravel BERN costs roughly so
per cent of double track pavement

day. In the vicinity of large cities

self furnishes from half to two-third
the total travel over nearby roads.
The road problem for the legislature
to solve is as to how many years
taxes shall be modified by bonds at
once for more or less permanent con-
struction and then as to how much
of the annual tax shall be paid from
general taxes upon all property how
much from taxes upon city property
and how much by the nearby or adj
jacent rural property which is bene-
fitted to a degree by tn fine all the
