I ‘ ~ FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS Both of the Local Banks are Successful Bidders and Get the Bonds at a Small Premium. Treasurer Lachot had a bond sale at ten o’clock at which time he sold about forty thousand dollars worth of macadam road bonds. The First National and Old Adams County banks purchased the entire issue as follows: First National Bank. Raudubush-Hain, $6,420, premium $6.42. J. A. Cline, SB,BBO, premium, $8.80.G. C. and W.

Cline roads are in Root township, the Geneva, Ceylon and Wabash township in Wabash, Otto Reppert in Kirkland, West Washington 5 in Washington, Huser-Waggoner in Monroe, and Reynolds No. 4 in Hartford. The seven roads will add about fourteen miles of macadam to the road improvements in the county. JMany more petitions are hanging fire it being next to impossible to build these road as fast as the people want them. —o The new square oi brick street between First and Second street on the Madison street improvement was rolled this morning, and will be sanded at once, and the street will then be open to the public.

CONTINUING A FINE JOURNEV Visits Many Places of Interest, Including the British Museum—Will Write Again from Paris(Note by Editor —In some unexplainable maimer the first page of the following letter was missing when It arrived at this office, the envelop being opened.) . jImperial Hotel, London, Eng., July 5, 1907. We were in the library, which has the finest in the world and any one can have access to it free. Went to Trinity church, where repose the remains of the mighty bard of Avon. It is a beautiful old church. The walk leading to it is through the grounds of an old cemetery, which is on the banks of the river Avon. From here went to Ann Hathaway’s cottage. Saw many quaint old things. Sat in the settle where it is said Shakespeare and Ann sat and did their courting. We spent Sunday in Warwick, where are Warwick and Kennllworth castles. We got carriages and were driven out to Kennilworth castle It is about four and one-half miles from the town. The public are not admitted to the grounds on Sunday, but we had a good view of the grounds and castle from an adjoining hill. The grounds are kept up beautifully, such large old trees and beautiful flowers. The community at large are taxed to keep up the grounds. On our way to the castle we passed Guy’s Cliff, an old manor house, now owned by Lord Percy, a descendant of the Warwicks. When the older Warwicks owned the manor, they used to brew beer there. When Lord Percy came into possession, the beer was all dumped into the river Avon. The people are very proud to tell you this. A mill, said to be the oldest in the world —1,700 years—is just in sight of the manor on the bank of the river Avon. Is run by water power, and does service now grinding corn every day. All through this part of the country, saw so many quaint little old houses, with thatched roofs and moss and grass growing out of the top, and on all the chimneys, the old chimney opts are seen. Made a short stop at Oxford, the old intellectual town and now we are in mighty London. Trying to do it in five days, but I am afraid it will “do us” before we get away. I don’t wonder that people in England live longer than we Americans. They take life so much easier than we do, or slower, I should say. For instance, the elevators are called lifts here, and if there are more than five persons get in one, to be lifted up, one will have to get out, and they go creeping along at a snails pace. It takes over an hour to be served an ordinary meal, but to me the queerest sights are the double decked omnibuses, all painted over with advertisements, that when you ' are looking for the name of a row ' (instead of a street) you don’t know whether you are going to Pears Soap, ’ Mellen’s Food, or South Hampton Row. Drivers passing each other drive to the left instead of the right. I should think these Americans driving their motor cars would get all mixed up. 1 We have been to the national Art Gal- ' lery, saw a great many of the Old Masters paintings, British Museum, ' full of architecture; the London Tower where Duke of Clarence, brother of 1 King Edward IV, young king Edward V, and his brother Richard, the wives , of Henry VIII, Duke of Norfolk, Sir Walter Raleigh, and many others were j put to death. Since the time of Ellza- - beth, the tower has not been used as • a residence of royalty. Is now used ’ as an armory. Its stock of weapons is said to be sufficient to equip a quar- ( ter of a million soldiers and in the ancient banquet hall alone are arms enough for 150,000 men. In the treasure room are preserved the crown jewels and insignia of the kingdom. “ They are protected by an iron screen and guarded by armed attendants. The coronation orb, the scepter, crown, swords, spurs, necklaces, the magnificent gold plate for coronation banquets are kept in here and are valued at fifteen million dollars. When I saw the instruments of torture, the stretching rack, the thumb screw, the wooden collars, and so on, I was thankful that I live in this day and age, of right thinking and Christianity. —-— From the bridge, we viewed England’s Houses of Parliament, and saw the parliamentarians and their ladles having tea on the plaza, overlooking the Thames, which is a common oc- ' curance every afternoon at 5 p. m. They adjourn the session long enough to drink their tea. Just think of - t . Judge Erwin doing such a frivilous thing. The house cover ah area of 80 acres. The grand Victoria tower through which King Edward enters when he opens parliament, is 340 feet high. The clock tower is not quite so high, the minute hand on the clock is 12 feet long, is called Big Ben. The strike of which can be heard many miles. I am afraid this will be too lengthy, so will continue from Paris. Jennie Studabaker.

MAKE TAME HARRIMAN REPORT The Standard Oil Company Replies to Charges Made by the Government Washington. July 16.—A telegraphic report came to the war department over Sunday from California regarding the reported arrest of two Japanese at Ft Rosercans for making sketches of plans of the fortifications. Adjutant-General Ainsworth, who is acting secretary of war, declined to make public the report except to say there had been no arrests. Major Gatchell is in command at Ft. Rosecrans. Washington, July 16. —After several months of investigating and weeks of time taken in its preparation, the long loked for report of the interstate commerce commission on the railway operations of E. H. Harriman has been made public, and, although it shows conclusively that Mr. Harriman has the railway situation in the West in the hollow of his hand, it fails to recommend any definite remedy. St. Louis, July 16. —The answer of the Standard Oil company and its allied companies and officers to the action brought against them here by the federal department of justice, was filed today. Taking up each of the specific allegations of the complaint it denies that the defendants have engaged in any conspiracy in restraint of trade in oil, that it has attempted to stifle competition by ■ compelling competitors to sell out, that it has crushed competition or that it obtained rebates which were denied to its competitors. o INVENTORY SHEPHERD ESTATE I New Case on the Docket, a Suit on Warranty—A Sheriff’s Sale is Ordered. Henry Lankenau, guardian for Arnold Meier and other, filed a final report as to Albert Meier, turning over to him $351. In the Wilson H. Shepherd estate, Andrew Gottschalk, executor, filed an inventory of personal property, showing $1,912114. The appraisers were Alfred Johnson and Alonzo Shanks. Attorney L. C. DeVoss has filed a new case entitled Isadore A- Kalver and William L. Gunder, whose true home is unknown, suit on warranty, demand $250. The county commissioners held a special session this morning and Treasurer Lachot conducted a sale of macadam road bonds. In the case of Richard K. Erwin vs. Daniel P. Bolds, No. 5690, a sheriff’s sale has been ordered for Thursday, August 15th, when Bolds’ interest in one-fourth of an eighty acre farm in Hartford township will be sold, subject to the life estate of Alexander Bolds.

The Holy Grail Society lodge met Monday night at the lecture room of Methodist church and conferred initiatory work on two candidates, Ben Beavers and Sherman Beery. These condidates were given the Esquire degree and from all reports the work although quite impressive, brought much laughter from the members that had already joined the order. Tonight the degree staff of this order will go to Monroe to Initiate ten candidates into the mysteries of the lodge and establish a castle at that place. Plans were perfected last night for the Holy Grails to go to Winona for a ten days’ camp, and steps were taken to organize a base ball team to be composed of the members. The boys are getting deeply Interested in their new order and undoubtedly, before long the membership will be increased doubly what it is now. Here it Relief for Women.
