Assessor CHJARLE3 E.'-POTTER. GOOD ROADS. ; AlUorer.tho. country, there Is renewed Sntferest-in,the subject of good roads. We, saj5,renewed Interest, be came shortly after the railroads were btrilttthe struggle for national high ways was discontinued. It Is not alone the bicycle and the automobile that tiave ilckened'our interest The reason for the attention that is paid them lies deeper. It is safely founded on an economic basis. No matter how many railroads and traction lines are buirt the road still remains necessary, indeed it is more necessary, for with the increase of traffic facilities and trade, the road becomes 'more and more used. The great roads of the world are of course the Roman roads which radl ate rrom Home all over Europe. It is a commonplace that they are in as perfect condition today as when they were built two thousand years ago, Those stoneless, rutless affairs, have not only been the paths of the Roman legions going forth to victory and lat er the refuge of the vanquished, but they in after days civilized the then barbarous nations of Europe. Pil grimage after pilgrimage to the Eter nal City of Rome passed along those wonderful highways until the most vigorous portion of Europe had come in touch with the flower of the Renaisance in Italy. Those days are over, but their les son lingers with us. All education pales beside the Intercourse with our fellow human beings in travel. And so it comes to pass that for not only economic reasons, but for purposes of pleasure and human intercourse, we have good roads. The roads are for all of us. Good roads are not

only for the fortunate class who own

motor cars, not yet for the farmer who comes to town with his produce. It is the one thing that ranks as a natural necessity. And o we commend the present good roads congress about to be held in Richmond, not only on account of what it can do in many ways for the city, but what its effect may be on the entire section of the country. The first thing a man wants to know when he is buying property after he has satisfied himself about the character of the soil is: "How are the roads." The state of Maryland in the last session of its legislature recognized the importance of good roads. It voted an expenditure of over five million dollars in that one state to be devoted to road Improvement That state is much smaller than this and many of its roads are poorer than ours but we can at least do as well. Let us follow in their footsteps. Good roads not only for Wayne county but good roads for the state and the whole country. Every cent put into the improvement of our highways will mean a redoubling of not only our business but our pleasure and the lightening of our work. PROSPERITY. Campaign times are always demoralizing to business and business interests and especially is this true when one of the candidates threatens the very life of trade. It was so In 1896. As J. W. Van Cleave, the president of the National Manufacturers Association, says: "Then as now trade was stagnant, but the causes of the stagnation are much less serious now than then. As all of us remember, the disturbance came from the same candidate who causes it this year. The candidate was far more formidable then than he is today." In the event of Taft's election there is little doubt that business will rebound to an unprecedented figure. All the staid London investment Journals (which are more conservative and thorough than any we have in this country) counsel their readers in this way. All things point to the coming prosperity and already we see signs of considerable picking up in trade. A thousand new freight cars have been ordered by the Northwestern. The papers point out the many plants which will put on a full force in the early part of this month. More than a hundred thousand freight cars which in April were standing empty on switches have returned to their trips across the country. The farm products have not commenced to move yet, but the promised corn crop is twenty-five per cent larger this year while the wheat crop it is estimated win be forty per Cent greater than in 1896. The,, investment of European capital in our securities shows the view which foreigners have in the fu ture, for there Is a great increase of capital coming to this country. Business can only Improve to its full extent with a fair and square man at the head of the government treat ing all without emotion or folly. We believe that this man is not W. J Bryan but Taft. We are quite sure that when Taft is elected in 1908 the affairs of the country will rebound as they did in 1896. NO POLITICS FOR JOHN. John Mitchell has won the respect of not only the trade unionists, but of the whole country by his refusal to be made the catspaw of some politicians. He has wisely stated that he will not only keep out of politics but he ad vises all tho other members of the federation to do the same. Mitchell has the esteem of the country for his services to both capital and labor and he is honored not only by the coal miners, but by the owners who have always recognized his essential fairness. As cnairman or tne trade agreement department of the national civic federation he will merely continue that policy which he has up to this time always maintained that of re conciliation of capital and labor That he has never betrayed his trust is well shown by his reputation throughout the country. The labor leader who will be of real service to nis ronowers must or necessity re member that the welfare of business is of as great importance to the laborer as to the capitalist, and any measure that is unfair to one injures the other. It is in this very capacity of keen discernment and absence of political adhesion that the ends of organized la bor can be best gained. For our part we think Mitchell will lead the labor ers to a better place in this country's respect than will Gompers, and in the end will gain for them merited reforms and real justice. Surely this is better than the incitement cf class against class, and the friction between labor and capital. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth is follow ing closely in the footsteps of her fath er when she settled the servant girls strike at Yellowstone Park. She should have a job along with John Mitchell on the Civic Federation arbitration committee even if she can't attend the prohibition convention. Hurrah for

Alice! Will she be elected an honorary members of the Servant Girls' union?

Father calls me William. Mother calls me Will. Sister calls me Willie. But the boys must call me BillThus sayeth Bill Taft to the correspondents at the Hot Springs. CATHOLIC CHURCH DEDICATED SUNDAY Several Hundred Visitors in Shelbyville, Sunday. Shelbyville, Ind., Aug. 3. St. Jo seph's Catholic Church, erected at a cost of $60,000, was dedicated Sunday. A large number of people attended the exercises. It is estimated that there were 1,500 visitors during the day. The exercises were in charge of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Dennis O'Donaghue of Indianapolis. Mass was observed dur ing the early morning hours. At 10:30 o'clock the dedicatory exercises were commenced. At 11 o'clock solemn high mass was observed. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Joseph Chartrand, pastor of the SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. Sunday afternoon a parade was giv en. After marching through the prin cipal streets they went to the church where vespers were given. Following this a sermon by the Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Donaghue. The benediction was pronounced at 4 o'clock and the dedi cation services ended. The building of the new church was commenced In 1902. Three-fourths of the cost of erection, $60,000 has been paid. This money was raised in various ways by Father Kaelin and the members of his congregation, which number about 1,000. FRENCH JEWELER WANTS DUTIES ON PEARLS $110,000 Expended on Mrs. W. B. Leeds' String. New York, Aug. 3. Bernard Citro en, a jeweler of Fans, Is making a new effort to get back $110,000 in duties paid by him on the celebrated pearl necklace which he sold to Mrs. William B. Leeds. His counsel have filed notice of an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals from the judgment of the lower court which in June refused to order a re turn of the duties. Citroen paid in all $132,000, this being 60 per cent of the value of the pearls, which was $220,000. Penny Wise, Pound Foolish. Housewives who buy seven or eight bars of yellow laundry soap for a quarter doubtless think they are getting a big twenty-five cents' worth. They are in rosin, which is not a cleanser at all. A five cent cake of such a pure white soap as Easy Task with its soft, creamy lather, will outlast two bars of smeary rosin soap, because it is good all through. RAILROAD RATES DECIDED UPON G. A. R. Will Be Favored Carriers. by Toledo, O., August 3. One fare plus a half fare for the round trip will be the general rate made by the railroads from practically all parts of the country to the next annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held here the week beginnln; August 31. Extension to September 15 for the return will be made upon the payment of $1. Flat rates will be made from far Western and Pacific points. From no point, however, will the rate exceed the fares allowed summer tourists. Tembs of the Hapsburg. The Capuchin church In Vienna is not only the Hapeburg family sepulcher, but is said to be also probably the most striking burial place in the whole world. Over and above the more than a hundred coffins, those of emperors and empresses draped In black velvet and gold, while the lesser Haps burgs rest under red and silver trappings, there Is an array of crystal vases, each containing the heart of a Hapsbnrg. Ever since the thirteenth century it has been the custom of the royal house for its dead to have the heart removed and separately enshrined in a little crystal casket, while another custom requires the Hapsburgs to lie actually in wood, which, however, may have an outer metal covering. Chocolate Pie Is Healthful Food experts agree that chocolate is one of the most healthful and nutritious articles of food known, and chocolate pies are becoming very popular.

Copyright. 1906. by CHAPTER XI. EVERAL weeks later Eddie Deever announced quite breathlessly to Rigby that be was going to visit Droom in his Wells street rooms. The two had found a Joint affinity in Napoleon, although it became necessary for the law student to sit up late at night, neglecting other literature, in order to established anything like an adequate acquaintance with the lamented Cor-. sican. Rigby was now morally certain that James Bansemer was all that Harbert had painted. To his surprise, however, the man was not openly Buspected by j other members of the bar. He had been accepted as a man of power and ability. Certainly he was too clever to expose himself and too wary to i leave peepholes for others engaged In that business.- Rigby was debating the wisdom of going to Bansemer with j his accusations and the secret advice , to leave the city before anything happened that might throw shame upon i Graydon. The courage to do the thing alone was lacking. Graydon was full of his happiness. He had asked Rigby to act as his "best man" in September, and Bobby had promised. On occasions when the ' two young men discussed the coming event with Jane and Miss Clegg, Rigby's preoccupied air was strangely in contrast with the animation of the I others. Graydon accused his llvei j and advised him to go to French Lick. Far from that, the old quarterback , was gradually preparing himself to go, to James Bansemer. To himself he , was saying as he put off the disagree-j able task from day to day: "He'll kick me out of the office, and that's all the reward 111 get for my pains. Graydon will hate me in the end." James Bansemer bad proposed a trip to Europe as a wedding Journey, a present from himself, but Graydon declined. He would not take an extensive leave of absence from the office of Clegg, Groll & Davidson at this stage of his career. Ihe morning after his visit to the abode of Ellas Droom, Eddie Deever strolled into the office of Bobby Rigby. He looked as though he had spent a sleepless night. Mr. Rigby was out, but Mi6S Keating was "at home." She was scathingly polite to her delinquent admirer. Eddie's visits of late to the office had not been of a social character. . He devoted much of his time to low toned conversations with Rigby. Few were the occasions when he lounged affably upon her typewriting desk as of yore. "You look as If you'd had a night of it," remarked Rosie. Eddie yawned obligingly. "Don't sit on my desk. Can't you see those letters? "Gee, you're getting touchy of late. I'll move the letters." "No, you won't," she objected. "Besides, it doesn't look well. What if some one should come in suddenly?" "Well, it wouldn't be the first time I got out suddenly, would it?" He retained his seat on the desk. "Say, Where's Rigby?" "You mean Mr. Rigby? He's out." "Gee, you're also snippy. Well, give him my regards. So long." He was unwinding his long legs preparatory to a descent from his perch. "Don't rush," she said quickly. He rewound his legs and yawned. "Goodness, you're not affected with insom nia, are you?" "I've got It the worst way I got awake at 8 o'clock this morning, and ; I couldn't go to sleep again to save my j soul. It's an awful disease. Will Rigby be back soon?" "It won't matter. He's engaged," she snapped, cracking away at her machine. "I've heard there was some prospect. She's a fine looker." "Rubberneck!" "Say, Rosie, I'm going to ask a girl to go to the theater with me," said Eddie complacently. "Indeed! Well, ask her. I don't care." Tomorrow 'night Will you goT "Who? Me?" "Sure, I I wouldn't take anybody else, you know." "What theater?" she asked, with her rarest smile. At that instant Rigby came In. Without a wora Eddie popped up, a bit red in the face, and followed the lawyer into the private room, closing the door behind him. Rosie's ears went very pink, and she pounded the keys so viciously that the machine trembled on the verge of collapse "Gee, Mr. Rigby. that old Droom's a holy terror. He keot me there till after 1 o'clock. But I'm srolne back asraln soon some night He's got an awful joint But that Isn't what I wanted to see you about I ran across May Rosabel, that chorus girl I was telling you about Saw her downtown in a restaurant at 1 this morning. She wanted to buy the drinks and said she bad more money than a rabbit There was a gang with her. I got her to one side, and she said an uncle had just died and left her a fortune. She wouldn't say how much, but It must have been quite a bunch. I know all of her uncles. She's got three. They work out at Pullman. Mr. Rigby, and they couldn't leave SO cents between them If they all died at once." After hearing this Rigby decided to confront Bansemer at once. It did not occur to him until later ibat the easiest and most effective way to drive Bansemer from Chicago without scandal was tbrouga . EUaa .Droom.. ..When the

Ten ap- j parently Innocent words from Eddie ' Deever would open Droom's eyes to the ; dangers ahead. I Young Mr. Deever met with harsh disappointment when he came forth to renew his conversation with Rosie Keating. She was chatting at the tele- J phone, her face wreathed in smiles. "Thank you," she was saying; Jt will be so nice. I was afraid I had an engagement for tomorrow night, but I haven't Everybody says It's a perfectly lovely play. I'm crazy to see it. What? About 7:30. It takes nearly half an hour down on the Clark street cable. Slowest old thing ever. All right Goodby." Then she hung up tne j receiver and turned upon Eddie, who stood aghast near the desk. "Oh, I thought you'd gone." "Say, what was that you were say- j ing over the phone? Didn't I ask you" . "I'm going to the theater with Mr Kempshall. Why?" "Why? Why, you know I asked you to" "You didn't specify, Eddie, that's alL I'll go some other night with you. Goodby." Clackety clack went the machine, throwing Insult into his very face, as It were. He tramped out of the office In high dudgeon. "Confound this detective business anyhow," he might have been heard to ' remark. Three nights later, however, j he took Rosie to the play, and on the fourth night he was Droom's guest again In the rooms across the river. He was well prepared to begin the campaign of Insinuation which was to I affect Bansemer In the end. Sitting 1 stiff and uncomfortable in the dingy j living room overlooking Wells street ! he watched with awe the master of j the place at work on the finishing ; touches of a new "Invention," the uses of which he did not offer to explain. He was without a coat and his shirt sleeves were rolled far above the elbows, displaying long, sinewy arms, hairy and not unlike those of the orang outang Eddie had seen in Lincoln park. "I've got a new way of inflicting the death penalty," the gaunt old man said, slipping into a heavy, quilted dressing gown. "These rascals don't mind hanging or the penitentiary. But He toot without a coat, and hit thirt tlecves were rolled far above the elbowe. if they thought their bodies would be everlastingly destroyed by quicklime they'd hesitate before killing their fellow men." "But they already bury them in quicklime in England," said Eddie loftily. "Yes, but not until after they're dead," said Droom, with a cackle. I He grinned broadly at the sight of the youtn s norror struct iace. uo aneaa and smoke, my boy. I'll light my pipe. Make yourself at home. I keep the window closed to keep out the sound of those Wells street cars. It's good of you to come over here and cheer up an old man's evenings. I'm I'm not used to it," he said, with a wistful touch which was lost to Eddie. "You ought to have a wife and a lot of children, Mr. Droom," said Eddie, with characteristic thoughtlessness. Droom stirred the Are and scowled. "Were you ever married?" "No. I don't believe in marriage," said Droom sullenly. "I saw the girl today that young Graydon Bansemer is to marry Miss Cable." "Say, she's swell, isn't she?" said Eddie. The old man slunk into his chair. "She's very pretty. Mr. Graydon introduced me to her." "Gee!" was all Eddie could say. "They were crossing Wells street down below here on the way home from a nickel plater's in Indiana street I saw her years ago, but she didn't remember me. I didn't expect it, ever"I how could she have forgotten you?" "Oh, she'd have forgotten her mother at that age. She was but three months old. I don't think she liked me today. I'm not what you call a ladles' man," grinned Ellas, puffing at his pipe as he picked up the volumes on Napoleon. Eddie laughed politely, but uncomfortably. "How old are you. Mr. Droom?" "I'm as old as Methuselah." "Aw, go way: "When he was a boy," laughed Ellas, enjoying his quip immensely. "Miss Cable seems to be very fond of Graydon. That will last for a couple of years, and then she'll probably be like two-thirds of the rest of 'em. Other men will be paying attention to her and she looking for admiration everywhere. You'd be surprised to know how much of that is going on In Chicago. Women can't seem to be satisfled with one husband. They must hare jnother one or two usually some-

And women, too, for that matter. Look out for a sensational divorce case within the next few weeks. It's bound to come unless things change a good deal. Terribly nasty affair." "Is Mr. Bansemer interested?" asked Eddie, holding tight to his chair. "Oh, no. We don't go In for that sort of thing." "I wonder If Mr. Bansemer knows about the mistake that came near happening to him a week or two ago. I got hold of It through a boy that works In the United States marshal's office," said Eddie, cold as ice now that he was making tfe test. Droom turned upon him quickly. "What mistake? What do you mean?" "It would have been a rich joke on Mr. Bauscmer. Seems that some lawyer is likely to be charged with blackmail, and they got Mr. Bansemers name mixed up In It some way. Of course nothing came of it but I Just wondered If anybody had told him of the close call he'd had." Drooui stared straight beyond the young liar and was silent for a full minute. Thou he deliberately opened the book ou his knee ad began to turn the pages. "That would have been a joke on Mr. Bansemer." be said indifferently. "I don't think he would have enjoyed It do you ?" "No one enjoys Jokes from the United States marshal's office," said Droom grimly. "By the way, who Is the lawyer that really was wanted?" "I never beard. I believe it was dropped. The young fellow I know said he couldn't talk about it so I didn't ask. Say, who was that swell woman I saw coming out of your office this afternoon? I was up at Mr. Hornbrook's." Droom hesitated a moment lie seem ed to be carefully weighing everything he said. "I suspect It was young Bansemer's future mother-in-law," he said. "Mrs. David Cable was there this afternoon about 3." "Gee!" laughed Eddie. "Does she need a lawyer?' "Mr. Bansemer transacted business for her some time ago. A very small matter, If I remember correctly. Here, listen to this. Now, here's a little incident I found this evening that interests me immensely. It proves to my mind one of two points I hc'J In regard to Marshal Key. Listen." And he read at length from his book, a dry sepulchral monotone that grated on the ear until It became almost unendurable. The little clock on the mantelpiece clanged 10 before they laid aside Napoleon and began to talk about something that interested Eddie Deever far more than all else Ellas Droom himself and such of his experiences as he cared to relate. The old man told stories about the dark sides of New York life, tales of murder, thievery, rascality high and low, and be told them with bloodcurdling directness the Walker wife murder, the inside facts of the le iugn divorce scandal, the Harvey family's skeleton all food for the dime novel producer. Eddie reveled in these recitals even while he shuddered at the way in which the old man gave them. "Ah, this Is a wicked old world!" said Droom, refilling his pipe and showing his teeth as be puffed. "That's why I have those pictures of the Madonna on the wall to keep me from forgetting that there are beautiful things in the world in spite of Its ugliness and hypocrisy. I haven't j much" He stopped 6bort and listened intently. The sounds of footsteps on the stairs outside came to his ears. They clumped upward, paused for a moment down the little hall and then approached Droom's doorway. Host and guest looked at the clock instinctively. Eddie heard Droom's breath as it came faster between puffs at his pipe. Then there was a resounding rap at the panel of the door. Eddie Deever never forgot the look that swept over the old man's face the look of wonder, dread, desperation. It passed in an instant and he arose unsteadily, undecidedly, to admit the late caller. His long frame seemed to shake like a reed as he stood cautiously inside the bolted door and called out: "Who's there r "Messenger," was the muffled response. Droom hesitated a moment looking first at Eddie and then toward the window. Slowly he unbolted he door. A small A. D. T. boy stood beyond. "What is it?" almost gasped Ellas Droom. quickly drawing the boy into the room. "Mr. Droom? No answer, sir. Sign here." The boy, snow covered, drew a letter from his pocket and handed It to Droom. "Where from?" demanded the old clerk, the paper rattling in his thin fingers. "I don't know. I'm from Chicago avenue," said the boy, with proper impudence. He took one look at Droom's face as the man handed the slip back to him and then hurried downstairs, far less impudent at heart than be bad been. Droom recognized the handwriting on the envelope as James Bansemer's. It was the first time his employer had communicated with him in this manner. He tore open the envelope and anxiously read the brief missive. "I've got to go to the office," he said, surprise still lingering in his face.' "It's important business a consultation with er with an Important eastern, client "Gee! It's tough to turn font this kind of a night I'm going your wsy. Mr. Drocra. Ceme.on.. Ill take the

Eddie Deever departed, chuckling to himself as he made his way to the U building, determined to learn what he could of this unusual sum moot. But Droom was too crafty. Bansemer's letter had asked him to come to Rector's restaurant and not to the U building. The command was imperative. Bansemer had been spending tho evening at the home of David Cable.

(Continued.) THRONGS WISHED TO SEE KIDNAPED GIRL Police on Duty Near Cassidy Home in Chicago. Chicago. Aug. 3. The search for F. J. Blair, who abducted Veronica Cassidy from her home and took her to Cincinnati, was at a standstill Sunday no far as the Chicago police were concerned. Acting, however, on the chance that Blair might attempt to return, the authorities kept a closj watch on all railroad stations, although their chief hope now is that the Cincinnati police may be able either to apprehend the man or else furnish some tangible clew to his whereabouts. The Cassidy home, 184 Peoria street to which the girl was returned Saturday night, was the mecca for hundreds of curiosity-stimulated persoCl. Sunday. The throng about the house became so great in the afternoon that a police guard was statlened to keep the curious from invading the home. The police of Eastern cities have been asked to watch for "Blair."
