MACADAM ROADS Adams Countv Improving Her Highways.

[submitted by county attorney c. j. LUTZ.] For some time past numerous inquiries have been made regarding the extent of the macadam and gravel roads of this county, and belieting that the public in general will be interested in a brief summary, I beg leave to submit the following. The first petition for a stone road was fded with the board of commissioners on the 6th day of June, 1896, by David Steele et al, for the construction of the “David Steele, or Decatur and Bluffton macadam road, and through the untiring efforts of Mr. Steele and many other public spirited citizens of Kirkland and Washington townships the road was finally built. This was but the beginning of good roads in Adams county. Numerous petitions were thereafter filed until today the county has 3< macadam roads constructed and in course of construction, with a total length of 122 miles, and which are as follows: Length Name of Road.

C. J. Lutz. Takes Her Own Life. Miss Marie Bowser of this county who killed herself at Marion Friday was’the fiancee ofMartin Moran, also of this city, but now working at Fairmount and living in Marion, They were to have been married next month. Martin is the son of Thomas Moran of this city, and brother of Prosecuting attorney John C. Moran. In addition to our story of last evening the Marion Leader tells of the sad event as follows: Influenced by a letter which she is said to have received last evening but which has not been found, Miss Marie Bowser a beautiful west side girl who has been living at the home ot T. F. Goldin, Twelfth and ! Maple streets, committed suicide I this morning by drinking a quantity |of carbolic acid. She left no word to her friends telling the cause i of her rash act and when found was too far under influence of the drug' to make a clear statement. Her ' mouth was terribly burned by the acid and although the physicians did everything in their power to : save the life of the young-lady, the , poison had its effect before it was i known that she had attempted to end her life. Hie affair is sur- ! rounded with mystery and is being i investigated by the friends of the I young lady and by the officers. It I is tielieved when the letter is found Which was received by Miss Bowser 1 last night that the entire matter will be cleared up and the reason 1 known for the girl wishing to end » her life. Miss Bowser formerly - lived in Mercer county, Ohio, but it is said when her mother married a second time she could not agree with her step father and left home. , She went to Adams county, Indiana. and lived for a time with some | relatives of Mrs. Goldwins. Last summer Martin Moran a well known young man of this city, brother of Mrs. Goldwin went to Adams county for a visit. While 1 there he became acquainted with I Miss Bowser and the two became warm friends. After the return of | young Moran to Marion he corresI ponded with Miss Bowser until her removal to this city. After her 1 visit in Adams county she returned I to her home in Ohio where she re. I niained for a time and then, influenced by her acquaintance with Mr. Moran of this city, she decided to come to Marion and make her home. She arrived in this city three weeks ago last Saturday and

wen, to the home of Mrs. T. F. Goldin on Maple street where Martin Moran has been living. She brought her clothing with her and l stated that she intended to remain i for a time, and it was thought at . first she would take a position in Marion. Later Mrs. Goldwin learned that her brother and Miss Bowser were engaged and a week ago it was rumored that the two were to be married in June. Mr. Moran has been employed at Barley's store in Fairmont for some time and it was understood that after his marriage to Miss Bowser the two were to remove to Fairmont, where they would make their home. The two have been together a great deal since the arrival of the young lady in Marion, but it is asserted that there has never been any trouble between them. Yesterday afternoon Miss Bowser appeared to be in the best of spirits and was about the house during the afternoon singing to herself and in no way causing Mrs. Goldwin to think there was anything troubling her. She stated about 6:30 o'clock that she was going to the post office and see if there was any mail for her. She dressed and came down town. She was absent from home for about an hour and three quarters ; and when she returned went at once to her room and retired. Mrs Goldwin feared she was ill and called to her asking if she was sick. She replied that she was not, and so the rest of the family retired, little thinking of the sorrow in store for them. Miss Bowser arose this morning about 6 o'clock and seemed to be as well and cheerful as usual. She ate breakfast with the family, but from time to time it was seen that she was thinking intently upon some subject. Her lover went to his work at an early hour and Mrs. Goldwin after clearing away the breakfast dishes, went into the yard to look after some work. When she returned to the house she found Miss Bowser standing near the corner of a fence, apparently deathly sick. Mrs. Goldwin approached her and asked what was the matter. The girl did not answer and then Mrs. Goldwin asked if she was sick. The girl still refused to reply, but as she raised her head the lady noticed that her lips were very blue. “Have you taken something, Mary?” asked Mrs. Goldwin, but the girl shook her head and turned and walked into the house. The lady followed her and Miss Bowser went at once to her bed room and threw herself on the bed. “I have taken poison and am going to die,” exclaimed the girl. Mrs. Goldwin ran from the house calling wildly for help and soon a number of neighbors had gathered at the hoqse.Drs. Black and Baldwin were summoned and were soon on the scene. They did everything in their power to save the girl but the poison she had taken had taken effect and at 8 o’clock the young lady died. Martin Moran was summoned from Fairmount and upon arriving home and finding his sweetheart cold in death refused to be comforted and his cries could be heard a square away. The young man stated that there bad been no trouble between Miss Bowser and himself and he could not understand why she should wish to die. \Vord ■ was sen t to the young lady's mother in Mercer county and it is expected that the lady will arrive in Marion this evening. A bottle having no label on its sides but giving off the unmistakable fumes of carbolic acid was found on the dresser in the bed room of the girl, showing the way she had taken to end her life. A search was made for the letter which it is believed she received last night, but at noon it had not been found and it is thought she burned it before taking the drug. It is a most mysterious affair and young Moran is as deeply mystified as the others. There appears to lie a difference regarding the girl's last name, some saying it is Bausser, but Mrs. Goldwin said it was Bowser. Marriage Licenses. James C. Rodgers to Catherine E. King.

Obituary. Bessie B. Steele, daughter of Da, vid and Mary Steele was born June 23, 1884, died May 11, 1904, aged Jl9 years, 10 months and eighteen ‘ days A father, mother, one sister, four brothers and a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. For several months Bessie had been ill and for some time had tieen aware that her stay in this world would be brief, but she looked forward to death as a relief andr really as a benediction she faced the realities of eternity without fear for she had centered liei faith upon Him who takes the sting from death and robs the grave oi victory: A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled : A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon his love had given: And though the body slumbers here. The soul is safe in Heaven. ...Legal Atetljlng... A PPOINTMEN’T OF EXECUTOR.
