WHS FILED TODAY i Residents Along Part of National Road Want Improvements Made.

COUNTY BOARD FAVORS IT PETITIONERS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE GOVERNMENT GOOD ROADS EXPERT SUPERVISE CONSTRUCTION WORK. Asking the Wayne county commissioners to authorize the construction of a macadam street with cement retainers on the National road, west of West Fifth street, to the road which is the boundary line of Wayne and Center townships, and requesting that negotiations be entered into with the Uureau of Good Roads, Washington, D. C. so that expert road builders could supervise the construction, a petition was filed with County Auditor Bemas Coe, yesterday afternoon, and signed by Vernon D. Grave and 562 others. The agitation for the improvement of this road has been up for several months and the West Richmond Improvement as.sociation Is primarily responsible for the action taken. The road could be built under the provisions of the three mile gravel road law, which recently was affirmed by the Indiana Supreme court. Looked on With Favor. TCvery indication points to the success of the petition. The county commissioners are known to look upon the Improvement with favor. The size of the petition also seems to assure Its success. The cost of the road would be considerable and probably more per square foot than any other roadway Jn the county, with the possible exception of Main street. In the petition, it is set forth that the petitioners would like a roadway forty-six feat wide, paved with crushed stone and on either side a cement retainer, similar to curbs and gutters. The surface of the roadway is to be bound with tarvia or some other equally good binding material, which also makes a dust proof surface.

Inhabitants of the Northwest are looking forward with considerable interest to the national ski tournament, which will be held in Coleraine, Minn., Feb. 10 and 20. The great mass of Norwegians, who have settled in this section of the i country and who were responsible for the introduction of this graceful exhilirating sport, are making elaborate preparations for the forthcoming meet, and the snow-covered hill courses are dotted daily with intrepid jumpers, training for the tournament. The list of entries is a long one and Includes the names of a number of Jumpers who lay no claim to Norwegian ancestry, which is a slight indication of the increasing popularity of the sport.

Gossip for A wakening Fandom

The Cleveland Americans and St. Louis Cardinals will meet in a spring series at Little Rock, Ark., beginning March 2. Four games will be played. Harrisburg fans are confident that Manager Selbach has picked up two s tars in Houser and Newashe, the Carlisle Indian players. Roger Bresnahan is trying to secure Miller Huggins to play second base for the Cardinals, but balks on an offer of that player and Spade for Pitcher Beebe. Hugh Duffy, the new manager of the White Sox, in discussing the new players became eloquent over Blackburn. Among other things he said: "He is a finished ball player." Some of the Sox looked like that last summer. Manager Griffith has fixed on March 8 as reporting date for his pitchers, with the other members of the team coming along a week later. The team will remain at Hot Springs about 20 days. William Breitensteln, who played third base for the Tiger tourists the day they beat the Chattanooga champions on their way to Cuba, has been appointed manager of the Columbia South Atlantic League club. He was with the team named last season. Coveleskie, traded to Cincinnati by Philadelphia, isn"t celebrating the switch very wisely. In a dispatch from his home town he is quoted as saying that much of his ill success last year was due to enemies on the Phillies, who tried to throw him down at every chance. That sort of talk will bring him trouble. Eddie Doyle, a brother of Larry Doyle, of the Giants, has been started on his professional career. Eddie, like his brother, is a fast fielder and will play with the Springfield, Ohio, club this season. If he makes good Eddie will be drafted next year by the New York club. Andy Coakley has a bright idea on the foul-strike rulk. He says he thinks it would be a good idea on the part of the rule makers to call only the first foul a strike. Coakley thinks no batter takes a chance of fouling off the A POLICE SHAKEUP (American News Service) New York, Feb. 2. As a result of tho wave of crime in this city a big shakeup at police headquarters appeared to be under way today. Inspector McCafferty, one of the best known detective chiefs in the country will be taken from the detective service, two captains now drawing pay as inspectors and doing the work of inspectors will be senet out to precinct work and six old inspectors will be retired. H. W. TAFT BETTER Los Angeles. Feb. 2. Although still suffering severe pain from an attack of arysipelas. Henry W. Taft, of New York, a brother of the President, is out if danger, according to a bulletin issued by Dr. W. A. Edwards, the patient's brother-in-law, and attending physician. At the Good Samaritan hospital, where Mr. Taft was taken after his sudden attack Saturday night in the Hotel Green, at Pasadena, every attention is being given to the distinguished lawyer patient. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Mary Stranahan, Mr. Taft's niece, are visiting with Dr. and Mrs. Edwards. As soon as Mr. Taft is able they will proceed to New York. A TEMPERANCE TALK (Palladium Special) Milton, Ind., Feb. 2. Mrs. Mary B. Sibbitt will lecture on the subject of "Temperance" at the M. E. church Thursday eveening instead of this evening as was the original intention. There will be a song service and a large attendance is desired.

next one, because it would only put him "in the hole." Any one who doesn't think there is money in base ball in Cuba may be convinced by the latest offer. The Havana park proffers ."Fl.riOo in cash, round-trip tickets for the entire team and all hotel bills while in Havana to any club that will spend the month of March training there. The club can carry any number of players up to 20 men. Fred Lake, the new manager of the Doves, has returned to Boston from Pittsburg with an unmistakable grouch. He says he tried to make several trades while in the Smoky city, but that other managers held him up in road agent fashion. Lake is not an exception to the general rule. Nearly every manager in the big leagues who is anxious to strengthen his team has discovered that there is no charity in base ball. So many team handlers have been gold-bricked in past deals that the average offer to trade players is regarded with suspicion. The best argument against the adoption of the ltS-game schedule by the National League, as used by conservative base ball men, is the fact that in spite of the opening of the world's series last fall October S and the windup Ocotber It; the weather was entirely too cold for comfort in many of the games. As a result it is pointed out that if the world's series this yaer does not begin until after October Hi the weather may be so unfavorable that a fair test of the rival pennant winners' relative strength may not be possible while the attendance and receipts may fall off to an alarming degree. John I. Taylor of the Boston team is preparing a speech for his ball players on ciragettes and here it is: "If the players will promise to a man to cut out the paper smokers until the end of the base ball season I will agree to furnish the cigars for the team from April 14 to October 4. And these allnight poker session that oftentimes take place on the long trips from Boston to the western cities must be cut down. Too much of the midnight oil hnrts the eyesight, and, last of all, is abstinence from the light and heavy drinks. Too much of even the light drinks will make a player loggy and heavy and unfit to play ball." STARTS LONG HIKE (American News Service) Los Angeles, Feb. 2. Edward Payson Weston, the 71 year old pedestrian, started at 9 o'clock last night to walk across the continent to New York. If he succeeds in crossing to the Atlantic coast it will be his fourth walk from coast to coast. The aged pedestrian says he has wagered to cross the continent in 90 days, but hopes to reach New York in 85 days. Wall Street financiers, he says, have promised him $500 a day for every day he cuts off the 90-day period. REVIVAL I SUCCESS The revival meetings at the Second Presbyterian church, which are being held this week, are being well attended and unusual interest is displayed in the services. The usual methods adopted by the professional evangelist to secure confessions are not resorted to, the conversions being brought about in a quiet way. There have been several new members added to the church enrollment this week. WORKING ON SCHOOL The construction of the Webster high school, which has been delayed for some time because of financial difficulties, has been commenced again. The workmen are now engaged in plastering and laying the floors. It is probable that the building will be ready for occupancy by spring, but as the school will close either in March or April, little use will be made of it until the next fiscal school year.

Old Man Groundhog Stepped!

Out and Walked Into a Sunbeam. A SIGN OF COLD WEATHER Get out your furs and prepare for another long seige of cold weather, for its coming if there's anything in the old tradition. At the first break of day, when his majesty, the ground hog, left his winter quarters for his annual ramble over the country, he did not stay out very long, for Old Sol poked his face behind the misty clouds which hid his countenance, and shone forth with brilliant radience. And did Mr. G. Hog scam per? Well rather. The little animal literally burned up the dust getting j back into his hole, so frightened was j he at the apeparance of his humble shadow. j And now its coming. Cold weather, j of course, and six weeks of it at that, i In view of the fact that this has been an unusually severe winter, it was the hope of many that today would mark the quiet and peaceful death of the icy king. But now the fondest anticipations for warmer weather have been cruelly blasted, and all on account of the little ground hog, too. The sun shown brightly all day and it seemed like spring, but the cold wave is evidently on its way and will doubtless be here shortly. PLAY GOOD MATCH After losing two games to the Entre Nous, the Phoenix team came back strong in the third and won. Lacey and Graham of the Phoenix teams were this team's 200 point makers last evening. On the Entre Nous team, Markley made 223 in his first game and Fostor scored 202 in his third game. The team scores were as follows: Phoenix, 833, S29, 902. Entre Nous, 882, 890, 871. STORK PAYS VISIT Joseph Hearst of Centerville, is wearing the broad grin today. The reason for his particularly beaming countenance is the fact that the stork called at his home last evening and left twins, a boy and a girl. Both children and their mother are doing nicely, it is said. FIRST OEGREE WORK The Walnut Level lodge of Odd Fellows, No. 136 of East German town, conferred the first degree on three candidates at Jacksonburg last evening. Several candidates for the republican primary were present among them being Thomas R. Jessup, candidate for county clerk, who made an excellent speech to the lodge members. A CATHOLIC CENSUS (American Newa Service) Milwaukee, Feb. 2. According to advance sheets of the 1910 Wiltzius Official Catholic Directory, published in this ciey, there are 14,347,027 Catholics in the United States.

TO INSPECT TEXAS A party composed of Omar Hearst, Charles Fergerson, Willard Williams, Omar Kurlin and others left Cambridge City yesterday morning for Texas on an inspecting tour of that country. It is probable that several members of the party will buy land and locate in that state in the spring, and the present trip is made with the view of becoming more thoroughly acquainted with the conditions as they exist there. A BIG EXAMINATION One of the largest examinations ever held in this county is that scheduled for Saturday, at which time applicants i for positions as census takers will take a quiz in the office of County Superintendent C. W. Jordan. The examination will be supervised by Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier. MISTAKE WAS MADE It was stated in last evening's Palladium that Parker was the manager of Van Home and Clark, the two boxers, who, with Kid Griswold, skipped out to part3 unknown with the large majority of the box office receipts Monday night. Mr. Parker states that Jake Hart, of Columbus, who is manager for the fighters, should have been given the credit. Lost Maltese Angora kitten.
