aswell as atinge of satire in the dialogue together with ludicrous situations mellowed touches of pathos are judiciously in terspersed throughout the production The members of the company are so well

teonvicted of (tecond degree murder last month the jury suspended a finding that at the time of the trial he was insane His father Theodore Vandivort to day was appointed guardian of the convicted estate of about $900 and authorized to pay from it the ex penses of his defense ROADS AND THE DISPATCH There is a disposition' in some quarters to spread abroad the im pression that the opposi tion to the $50000000 road debt is opposition to good roads That representation will deceive no who has read and remembers course of the Dispatch on this ject but it may mislead some whose memory or reading fail to inform them z' The Dispatch led by many years in the advocacy of good roads The ar guments as to their benefits by which alone the bond issue is supported were familiar to our reader years ago And the Dispatch never led more clearly than in its present oppo sition to the bond amendments It holds that before the State enters upon the construction of roads on a large scale it should make sure that the roads will last at least till the maturity of the bonds It recognizes that the automobile era has put new requirements on the roads to which the old macadam construction is en tirely inadequate and therefore stands cost to the people 100 per cent by the interest charge on borrowed money Very significant figures as to the adequacy of the present State ma chinery for accomplishing that task are presented in the muddle over the actual operations of the State High way Department In the first place there is a hopeless discrepancy as to the mount of road built The High way Department figures show 277 miles actually constructed The fig ures in the Auditor office make it 104 miles and the two branches of the State government have locked horns on that point According to the Highway Depart ment figures the 1901 miles built up to June 1 cost an average of $13341 18 per mile Enthusiastic correspon 1 dents supporting the bond issue who have claimed that it have claimed

five feet to the ground sus taining a broken arm and had his body pretty well bruised The accident was caused 'by the safety strap breaking which he was using to hold him to the pole Mr Ringle had been working a short time and for some reason the strap on the belt either broke or the buckle slipped thus causing the acci dent! He caught at a rope which was extended out on the wires and broke the fall causing him to light on the of his head and shoulders escaping what might have been his death The injured man was' brought to his home in Blairsville by two of his fellow workmen and the injuries were attended to by Dr Leon ard It was thought probable that he was injured internally but upon examination it was found that only

just as essential for churches to advertise their goods and merits as it is for any merchant He advocated the placing of paid ad vertisements in the newspapers by the churches and declared the adver

stores 1 the cost of $29000 per mile was reached The Mack McNichol firm contractors with strong political re ations received $21000 per mile for a road in Bucks County We may i charitably presume these high cost roads to be of the most durable type in which case to i give us roads that have a chance of outlasting the bonds would confine the $50000000 bond issue to a result of between 1700 and 2500 miles And then the doubt survives whether these roads will be there when the debt comes due inally either political or admin istrative difficulties have halted work altogether Among the great wastes of road construction is leav ing roads half done to contend with the elements We do not think the most sanguine mind can regard the picture presented by the Highway Department as an argument in favor of entrusting it with the expenditure of $50000000 more 7 Woman loves a clear rosy complex ion Burdock Blood Bitters is splen did for purifying the blood clearing the skin restoring sound
