ASKS REPORT ON CONDITION OF ALL BRIDGES

' Bridges .to be built in this county next year will be considered by the county council when it meets on August 7 in making the tax levy. County Surveyor Peacock has been asked by county commissioners to prepare a detailed list of the streams and creeks in the county over which new bridges or improved bridges should be built next year. It is the purpose of the commissioners to Include the estimate on all these when the budget is made DUt so that next year the number of special appropriations can be cut to a minimum. Today the county council and com missioners are reviewing the Dod fridge and the McGrew fill in the western part of the county. An es timate on the amount of money necessary to improve these places will be included in the budget next week. The county surveyor said today that there are about eight bridges in the county that need repair, the esti mate on which ranges from $600 to $2,500. These will be reported to the county council. It is probable that a new bridge at Dalton and one two miles south of Dalton, will be includ ed in the estimate. It will require a tax levy of about 1 cent to improve these bridges, ac cording to Commissioner Doddridge RE-INFORCE FLOORS OF "Y" DORMITORY Faulty construction is blamed for the present condition of the third and fourth floors of the Y. M. C. A. building, which is now being reinforced to rrevent serious damage behip, dene to the building. It has been discovered that the third and fourth floors, on which the dormitories are located, have been sagging. An investigation proved that the cross beams had sagged two inches from their original pofition. Engineer John Mueller said today that an investigation had shown that there was a pressure of 6,000 pounds per linear foot on the beams on tha tecond floor. The beams are made of wood as there are no iron girders holding the upper floors. . An engineer from Indianapolis who is employed by the state Y. M. C. A. department, has been called in to make a further investigation. In the meantime props have been placed under the tMrd floor, extending from the floor rf the gymnasium room. It is estimated that the cost will be approximately $3,000. Steel girders will probably have to be placed in the position of the present wooden beams. RUSSO-JAP ALLIANCE POSTPONED BY FALL OF CZAR'S FORTRESSES TOKIO, Aug. 6. Plans for a RussoJapanese allianco are likely to receive a decided setback as the result of the fall of Warsaw. Russians are anxious to effect this alliance immediately, in the hope that Japanese troops may be sent to oppose the Germans. But general sentiments are opposed to the sending of any expeditions at present. Japan is ready to close an alliance, including the coast. Russia wants it to cover all Asia. This caused the delay of negotiations lately and the cabinet scandal brought about by the brihery charge, caused further delay. FIND BODY IN BAY ERIE,. Pa., Aug. 6. The life saving crew today picked up the body of an unidentified man in the channel. This is the third of the flood victims that has flowed into the bay. Disinfectants were scattered as the stench from decayed bodies was rendering rescue work unbearable. NEW PITCHING FIND OF NATION L LEAGUE Albert Leon Mamaux. Albert Leon Mamaux, the Pitts ourg youngster, is considered a pitch ing find in baseball circles. Mamauhas an assortment of fine curves, fa-t ball with a wicked hop and ; change of pace which would do credi to Mathewson. His record thus fat this season has been exceptional; he pitched eighteen gam id and wor fourteen of them.

WILL LET CONTRACT FOR NETTLE DITCH

After several days' delay on account Of a disputed legal point, the contract for construction of the Nettle Creek ditch will be let tomorrow. Isaac Beeson, of Randolph county, who is one of the petitioners for the proposed ditch, submitted a bid for the work, agreeing to do it for 6 2-10 cents a cubic yard. Under a new Indiana statute, a farmer living on the ditch is to be given the' preference in letting the contract, but the legal point involved was whether Mr. Beeson, -who is a property , owner along the ditch, had to agree to do it at the lowest figure. The question was placed in the hands of several lawyers and the decision will be announced tomorrow. There has been no supreme court decision on the question and it is probable that if the decision is reached, the question will be appealed to the supreme court. There were twenty bidders for the work. ROBINSON DENIES PLAN TO PURCHASE GAAR-SCOTT PLANT H. R. Robinson, vice president and superintendent of the Swayne-Robin-son company, stated today that there is no truth in the report being circulated that negotiations have been opened with Finley Mount, receiver for the M. Rumely company, for the purchase of any of the local property of the old Gaar-Scott company. "We have not even thought of making a change from the present location of our plant," said Mr. Robinson. "Mr. Swayne has been dealing with Mr. (Mount only as chairman of the Commercial club committee and there is no probability of our purchasing any of the property." It is understood that the SwayneRobinson company is anticipating making additions to the plant some time in the future but Mr. Robinson declined to make a statement relative to any of the anticipated improvements. ERIE FIGHTS PLAGUE - FOLLOWING FLOODS ERIE, Pa., Aug. 6 The machinery of the state health department will re lieve and protect the victims of the muddy broom which swept a path through the heart of ; Erie Tuesday night. Health officials from Harrisburg planned measures to prevent water pollution and a possible outbreak of disease. The menace of the many carcasses of animals in the flood district received first attention today. , A squad of state police from Butler arrived today to guard the devastated section and protect all homes of workers in the district from molestation. Four bodies were recovered yesterday, all of them previously having been reported missing. The list of identified and known missing victims is not expected to exceed 35. VILLA IS EXPECTED TO BEAT 08REG0N EL PASO, Aug. 6. Heavy shipments of ammunition to Torreon indicate that General Villa expects a decisive battle there in the near future. While Villa, who has come to the border for conferences, confesses to be confident that he will defeat the forces of General Obregon, now at Monterey, Villa's officers in Jaurez intimated that their leader was planning an immediate return to Torreon. From Carranza circles there came a report today that Villa had come to the border to get a loan of $350,000 in gold from American mine operators who own property in the district owned by the Villistas. TAX COMMISSIONERS CLOSE STATE SESSION INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6 The state board of tax commissioners today closed its annual session at which appeals are heard from the assessment of county assessors.

"A Man and His Wife" Isabel Has to Tell Her Friend Ida a Falsehood.

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE ; WATER. CHAPTER XLXIX. Copyright, 1915, Star Company. It was Joha Hamilton's voice that answered Isabel's inquiry "What' is it?" , She recognized in an instant Adelaide Simmons' strident tones. "Hello, my dear!" the widow greeted her. "Excuse me for calling you away from the festivities for even a moment. How giddy you are getting flying around to affairs without your hubby!" "John is coming up here later," Isabel said stiffly. "That's Just what I called you up about, Adelaide remarked. "Jack and Henry Dennis have been here, as you may know, helping me fix up for tomorrow night, and they are not nearly through yet for I am going to have an especially gorgeous affair something that will surprise people. I shall expect you, of course. Poor Jack is already so -tired that he dreads the thought of going way down home to get into his dress suit and then going up to where you are. He said as much awhile ago. I offered then to call you up and beg you to let him off, but he said not to. Then I advised him to call you up himself, but he said that wouldn't do either, for he had promised to come for you. You know he tries to be dutiful about .-.uch things. But as it's getting so late, I Just took matters into my own hands and called you up myself. Won't you say he needn't come for you tonight?" There ensued a silence so prolonged that Mrs. Simmons asked at last "Hello! have you cut us off, Central?" "No, we are not cut off," Isabel told her. "I was Just thinking. You may tell John that as he is so tired I will dispense with his escort tonight." "Wait! here he is now!" Adelaide announced. "Hold the wire a minute Jack, dear, your wife says for you not to come up for her, for it's very late," she added so loudly that Isabel heard every word. "No wonder you looked relieved, poor fellow, you are too tired to go anywhere. There, speak to your wife yourself and say thank you, like a good boy." But before he could obey, Isabel Hamilton hung up the receiver and walked away from the instrument. She did not want to speak to John just now.. She knew it was all a put-up Job. He had never meant to come up anyhow Adelaide and he had arranged that. Well, his wife could go home alone! She felt so desperate that she did not care what happened. And only 10 minutes ago she had been planning how she would tell John to SEE "WHITE GHOST" BUT GERMANS WIN PETROGRAD, Aug. 6. The "White Ghost," an apparation whose appearance portends victory, has again appeared in the Russian army. Many Russian sentinels have declared within the past few days they saw the ghost in the dead of 'night. This ghost is supposed to be the spirit of General Skobelif, clothed in white and on a white horse. It is a tradition in the Russian army that if the "white 6pirit" appears at a critical moment defeat will be turned into victory. Its presence is said to invariably cause a panic in the ranks of the enemy.

night that she really, did love him. and plead with him for their lost happiness. , What a fool she had been to think of such a thing!" , Love or .tenderness turned back upon itself creates strange and unholy passions. Such were, raging in the wife's heart when she met David Duval outsde the door of the room in which she had been telephoning.' "I was watching for you," he said, apologetically, "for I saw the maid summon you, and I was afraid that there was something wrong. I know it is none of my business to intrude, but can I be of service?" A reckless indifference to appearances moved her to reply. "Yes you mav call a cab. I am going home." - "Not yet,." he demurred. "You said you were going to stay until" "Yes," she interrupted, "until- my husband came for me. But he's not coming. I am going home alone." She offered' no explanation of John's absence, but David Duval's wits were keen and he guessed what the trouble was. "You are going nowhere alone," he said, "as long as you will let me "go with you. Come back into the drawing room now, dear lady just to show yourself for a few minutes. Thenwe will slip off quietly." She did as he bade her, yet each added moment in the presence of all these people only added to her mental suffering. She was ashamed of her husband's absnce. What could she say to Ida after having informed her with certainty that John would be up later. She would have to give a plausible reason for her early departure. As she saw her hostess approach a false excuse flashed into her mind. "I hope," Ida said, "that the telephone message was not Trom your husband saying he cannot come." "It was from John," Isabel returned, "asking if it was too late for him to come now. But I told him that as I am not. feeling well I am going to leave so soon that it would be useless for him to call here for me." "Oh, dear girl, I am so sorry!" exclaimed Ida. "But you must wait long enough to have some refreshments." "Indeed, no; I cannot. Ida," Isabel insisted. "My head is aching and I feel so badlv that I know I ought to go home. I will not say good-bye to your guests, for I do not want to seem to break up the party. But please make my adieux to your husband explain my abrupt departure." "He shall take you home," Ida declared. Isabel felt the red blood rush to her

STANDARD FIRM TO BUY SUPPLIES NEW YORK, Aug. 6. It is reported in Wall street that arrangements are under way by which the Russian government will place the bulk of its purchasing of war munitions and 'supplies in this country in the hands of the Standard Oil interests. The arrangement spoken of is said to be similar to that of the British government with J. P. Morgan & Co. Coal is about to be made the subject of the most elaborate treatise ever devoted to any one mineral except iron. It is a 1,200-page book, with nearly 200 maps.

cheeks. ""But he musn't,'' she protested. "I am going in a cab." "Even so,' her friend insisted. "I cannot let you go from my home alone at this time of night." ' ' "Oh, that's all "right," Isabel stammered, avoviding ,f her friend's ,r keen gaze. I" shall not be alone for for Mr. Duval said he would escort me home." Then, as she saw a look of surprise come to Ida's face she added with a forced laugh: "John told me over the 'phone to ask Mr. Duval to accompany me. He is an old friend of John's, you know." . ' She. was not accustomed to lying, and even in her own ears her words rang false. Did her hostess know that she was not speaking the truth? If so, what must she think of her? "So, you see," Isabel added hastily. "It will not be necessary for me to take Mr. Ferris away from you and your guests, dear Ida." "I see," said Ida, gently, "and I withdraw my suggestion that he accompany you since Mr. Hamilton has provided you with another escort. Give your husband my kind regards, please, and express to him my sincere regret at his inability to be with us tonight." . ..There was no suggestion of doubt or of curiosity in the words or manner, yet Isabel Hamilton wondered uneasily just what Ida Ferris was thinking.
