URGE TARvIA ROAD
Central Avenue Road Property
Owners to Make Appeal.
Ask County to Build Highway IL

Property owners living along the Cen

proposed sixteen miles of hard sur
faced highway be built OF tarvia that
the work be done this year and by
the county commissioners in case the
contractors bids are too high

total of s4SO,00O, can be saved on
the Central avenue road alone thru
the use of tarvia. 1t is also declared
this material will hold up longer and
keep in better condition, than con-

layer can bA removed and replaced at
little cost, whereas in the case of the
concrete road the entire structure
must be blown up and new road
built.

then that he had had fried cornmeal
for supper, altho he had begged the
perfect housekeeper to omit cornmeal
it anyway. he said. but he didn't say
what he felt, that he had been corn
mealed to death since her arrival.
OF course it was because of the
economy in using cornmeal that she
persisted. and Doctor Andover did eat
appetite and he had to eat something
but, then" continued Doctor An
dover, "a man doesn't marry for
home or for a good cook. If the wo-
man he loves happens to be a good
nusekeeper and all that sort of thing

Doctor Andover was preoccupied

there was a soft, radiant moon and

one step of the veranda, and Helen
slowly went down to meet him.

Topeka Doctor Free Pending Requisi-

Judge c. w. Smith this afternoon
called in the warrant under which Dr.
Horace g. Lathrop, chiropractor, 634
Polk street, was ARRESTED on charge
of perjury preferred by the prosecut-
ing attorney of Bradford county,
Pennsylvania. A hearing which was
to have been held this afternoon in an
attempt to get Governor Allen to deny
requisition of Lathrop was postponed
until the governors return from his
eastern trip. Lathrop was turned
loose
1t is alleged Lathrop svore he was
a citizen of Pennsylvania in a divorce
proceeding against his first wife there
some time ago.
DR.. Lathrop asserted, according to
officers, that he is being prosecuted
by his former wife. who he says is
using this method in an attempt to
get his present wife's money.
Bradford was tried twice by Penn

said. The first trial eliminated in Il

second, officers declare. He obtained

the popular outcry against greedy
landlords and "profiteers." The Re
view asks: But why does not some
body else come to the rescue? Why
are not the virtuous people, the people
who are neither landlords nor specu-

There is nothing to prevent hundreds

pointed out. Yet nothing of the kind
is going on. II wickedness alone be

to bring them down. Yet up they stay,
and up there is every reason to expect
them to stay, for aught that virtue

PRICES IN CRASH
Chicago Grain and Provisions
Take Big Tumble.
Follow Declines at New York
Weak Liberty Bonds Reason.

Chicago, April 21.-Prices crashed
heavily in the grain market today, es-
pecially in the last fifteen minutes of
trading Corn fell as much as ~
cents a bushei. Liquidation owing to
the weakness in the New York stock
market was the chief apparent reason.
Oats tumbled cents. Pork
dropped $1.25 per barrel in some
cases but lard and ribs were compare
lively steady. Final quotations were
with July corn typical at $1.55-to
s1.5Sn as compared with $1.66$s TO
sissy yesterday.
Uneasiness over the financial situa-
ton had been evident from the outset
in the grain market but it was not un-
til the session fas almost over that the
values gave way in earnest. Selling
orders came in a flood and found the
market without adequate support
Misgiyings in regard to the financia!
situation were associated with the
stringency in Japan due to over-spec-
ulation. Heretofore, the japanese
troubles have had only a transient and
obscure effect so far as the grain mar
kets were concerned. Today, however
the subject received general notice
nect;on with the fading away of prices
for securities in Wall street.

1 had a very nice dinner, and Mary
and 1 waited until 1 was afraid it
would be cold, then sat down and
commenced to eat. 1 couldn't believe
Robert wasn't coming after our happy
evening and the affectionate way he
had acted when he left that morning.
Mary and L chatted until Gardner
came. Still Robert had not come.
where's Robert?" Gardner asked,

Good night. Gerry" Then in a
