The dog disappeared sevweeks ago and a diligent search lasting all that time finally resulted his being discovered at the home of a farmer.

COUNTY ROADS . Ill GOOD SHAPE Some Statistical Information Concerning the Highways of Old Wayne. COST OF MAINTENANCE. REPAIRS AVERAGE $75 A MILE EACH YEAR MORE THAN 1,500 MILES OF IMPROVED AND UNIMPROVED ROADS. . WAYNE COUNTY ROADS. Area in square miles .... 4C9 Population in 19C0 33,970 Miles of public roads .... 823 Miles of improved roads.. 702 Percentage of roads improved 84.7 Miles improved with gravel 702 Miles improved with crushed stone None Average original cost of gravel roads per mile.. 1,237 Total original cost of improved roads $863,500 Annual cost of repairs per mile on gravel roads 5 years old $75 In the 702 miles of improved roads are included 530 miles of township roads, at an estimated cost of $750 per mile, and 152 miles of country roads, most of which were formerly toll roads, at an estimated cost of $3,000 per mile. The first improved road in the county was the National Road built in the years 1835-37; but thaf was not completed except in a few short patches. The roads were, kept up by the two or four day labor and land tax and donations along the line The roads were improved to some extent by grading until about 1849 when a little gravel was used on a few roads. In 1852 the Legislature passed j a turn-pike road law under which a I number of turnpike companies were 1 . . . , ! organized and then constructed under later turnpike laws. Some of the toll ' pikes were abandoned and have been j since kept up by the townships, the j others have been purchased by the ; county and converted into free pikes. Wayne County ranks among the first counties in Indiana in amount of gravel found as well as in the quality. Owing to the ample natural gifts which are to be had in this county it has roads which are well thought of by both drivefs of vehicles and automobiles. There are very few roads in the county which have not received attention and can not be traveled on at any time of the year without difficulty. Banqueteers AttacKea. Paris, Oct. 20.

C, is now arranging to make a comprehensive exhibit at the great celebration and other cities are doing likewise, Hartford, Connecticut proposes to make a big display at the expcl'tioj. T. S. Southgate, Governor of Exhbits and one of the Board of Governors of the Exposition expects to, visit Baltimore shortly and confer with the authorities of that city in regard to hav'ing the Maryland city make a large exhibit at the fair exploiting its commercial greatness.

"Ten dollars per bushel besides the express is considerable for the first chestnuts of the season," remarked a dealer in this line of goods today, "but you would be surprised at the calls I have had for them and I bought the first that could be obtained," he continued. The first supply is on the local market and thev are sold by the "small measure," and the measure seems too extremely small, hence the Sanation of the dealer regarding the price he has to pay for the first shipmeilts. In speaking of the growing demand for chestnuts, the dealer said: "Five years ago I soM but a small quantity of chestnuts but the people are educating themselves, and a good chestnut is not a bad morsel anyway, and now I have a great run on them. I would pay any price for them the first of the season, and those who are accustomed to buying them at this season of the year do not object to the price they have to pay, realizing that they are very expensive just now. AUTONOMY for Philippine Provinces Recommended by Provincial Governors. Manila, Oct. 20. A radical change In the system of provincial government is imminent if the Philippine commission approves the recommendation of the assembly of provincial governors now in session at Manila. The recommendation provides that another member of the provincial board shall be elected instead of appointed. At present the treasurer and school superintendent are appointed. As they must be Americans, they constitute a majority of the provincial boards. The provincial governors want a member elected to replace the schoo superintendent, thus giving the Filipinos a majority on all boards. If Governor General Smith and the commissioners approve the recommendations, it will practically give the province complete autonomy. The matter will probably be referred to Washington. Schooner Wrecked. Portland, Me., Oct. 20. The fourmasted schooner Merom is a total wreck, according to a dispatch received by W. S. Jordan & Co., part owners, from Curacao, Dutch West Indies. While details are lacking, it is believed here, that she was lost in the hurricane, and that Captain J. W. Williams of South Portland, and crew of eight men may have had a chance to escape safely, as she was taking on a cargo for this port. Arbitration Proposed.

the Jobbers and Shippers Association are behind this movement and several meetinf s ha t?ready, bee held in connection with their nlans Th mpmbers of the committee on behalf of the Board of Trade are T. Y. Smith, These men feel confident that 10.000 or more square feet of floor space will be taken up at the exposition by the commercial interests of Washington. The business men of the capitol feel that it is particularly urgent that the opportunity to make a good showing before the world should not be lost inasmuch as all Washington is anxious to make the city one of the greatest in the country. In Milwaukee similar plans are under way and they have progressed much farther than at .Washington, This former city is now assured of the city's commerce. Committees have been appointed and funds are now being raised to carry on this project. MILTON. Milton, Ind., October IS, '(Spl.) Elmer , Gant of Greenfield w as a Milton visitor Thursday.

HUMBLE POTATO A RICH PRODUCT

It May Become the Leading Resource of the Hoosier Soil Shortly. GIVE LIGHT . AND POWER DEN ATU RIZED ALCOHOL TO BE , THE MOST-SOUGHT AFTER PRODUCT OF THE AGE EXPERTS NOW AT WORK. Wayne County farmers may soon be greater potato raisers than growers of wheat aud corn. While the potato crop of Indiana each year is worth anywhere from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 and amounts to S.000.000 to 15.000.000,000 bushels, these figures, large as they are, offer an indication of what it is expected the potato will do for the State in the future. Lighted and heated by common, gar den potatoes, to say nothing of gain ing its mechanical power from the same source if that is not the achi evement of Indiana within a few years, it will not be the fault of the agricultural department. Of course, the expected result will be obtained through denaturized alcohol, and since the agricultural department realizes that the Central-Western States are in a position to benefit tremendously from the production of this material, it has already set about developing those plants which can best be grown to contribute to the new industry. On account of its richness in the desired qualities the potato is the most promising raw material for the manufacture of denaturized alcohol, and the department, therefore, has sent experts to Europe to study the big tuber which grows .there and to arrange for securing seed and transplanting it in this country. This European potato has small value as an edible, but being several times as large -as those generally seen in this country, it is naturally just what is wanted for the production of alcohol. It gives an immense yield, it being claimed that enough of them can-be grow;n on one acre to produce 60 gal lons of alcohol which means light. heat and power for a farm household for a year. Secretary Wilson and Dr. Baloway are enthusiastic over this big alcohol producing potato, which they expect will come as an extremely important addition to Indiana's potato growing interests, practically amount ing to a new industry in itself. London Bankers Suspend. London, Oct. 20. P. MacFadden & Co., the London house of Arbuthnot & Co. hanlrerf of Madras, announced that they had been compelled to suspend paymenjt. The firm did considerable Indian banking business. The cause of its suspension was not divulged and the amount involved is not know n. Big Liners In Collision. New York, Oct. 20. The steamer Etmria while bound out of New York harbor collided with the Minnehaha, also outward bound. The Minnehaha evidently suffered no Injury, as she continued'on her way and later passed out over Sandy Hook bar. The Etruria is anchored off Thompklnsville. Succeeds Lsdy Somerset. Boston, Oct. 20. The Countess of Carlisle was chosen president of the World's Woman's Christian- Temperance union, to succeed Lady Henry Somerret, who declined re-election. The New Phillips O. G. MURRAY, LESSEE
