There is much talk among the people about the railroads, which is a very important theme, but as the common roads has much mure to do with the ' home life thought given tc , them than to railroads. Nearly all the freight drawn on the railways of the United States and a very considerable proportions of the passengers pass over the country road. The idea of the importance of the country roads to the people may be had by remembering that in 1902 (the latest official figure we have) there were 655,130,236 passengers carried on the rail ways of the U S at an average charge of two cents and three one hundreths of a mill per mile. In the same year the railways carried 1,192,136,510 tens of freight at an average rate of seven and three fifths mills per mile. The out of moviug a ton of freight per mile over the common roudi in the U S per mile ia estimated at 25 cents per ton per . mile or thirty-three times as much as the railroads charge. It is es timated that freight can be haul ed on good roads at one third less then it can now be moved on our present country roads. It is to make this saving that the Pendleton convention will con sider. That is they are seeking to save the people more than one billion dollars annually. The Chicago strike teems to be as fall cf life as ever, but ' it is apparent that the employers are making headway jo getting their business moved. More men are constantly being put on and, eo far aa tbe dispatches show, the tide is running against the strikers. The latter, lowever,' announce' they are confident of winnine and are prepared to carry on the strag gle aatil their terms are met. Growing Aches and Pains Mrs. Job! Summer, liremond, Tex as. wriUi.

It has lost two nous since; the year opened, ono as a n suit of an automobile accident in Florida, the other from smoking opium in' Kansas City. If the father had never become rich, these boys might both be hard working industrious tellowe, but wealth made sports of them and both have been snuffed out at an early age. .An immense amount of muni tions cf war have been received in San Francisco consigned to Kobe, Japan. They were made in Germany and the shipment gave rise to some agitation among the authorities. When the daptain cf the vessel by which the shipmeut was to be sent learned of its character he refused to continue loading. The vessel was British and the captain reporting the matter to the British consul. The latter ' sought to have 'the collector of customs stop th i shipment, but this con Id not be done as the shipping of ibe material was . not a violation of the neutrality laws. Publication of the iuci- deut may caute some of those ( Russian cruisets to keep a sharp 1 lookout for that vessel when it approaches the Asiatic coast.
