The lust legislature panned un act empowering local authorities to enamruge the rise of wide tires ou country roads by a rebate of road taxes, and in some parts of the etute, where attention has been paid to the improvement of the roads, those en gaged in heavy hauling havo "found great advantage and economy in the BELIEVE IN THEIR TOWN.

J WIDE THIS PHILOSOPHY, (from L. A. W. Bulletin.) adoption of tbe wide tires,, .which avoid. tbe formation of rati and&fiid to keep the road smooth Instead of ratlin it Wagooi boilt for this purpose will be somewhat ioereaeed Id weight, bat tbe 4 inch tin can be easily secured upon wheel of ordinary width, so that com pllanee with tbe rule does not require any great eipeaditare. Light vehicles make bat little inipiessioB apon a well surfaced road. It U the heavy load that cause the narrow wheels to sink into rata, and tbe worse the road is worn the greater the waste of horsepower in draw' ing the load. When supported on wide tires, these same loads pass easily over the surface, and there is economy in draft as well as in road mending. It would be money id pocket to tbe tax' payeri of the suburban counties if they oould enforce the park regulation on their own roads. MATERIAL FOR 6000 ROADS. Aa Abaadaoee of Omar Bmla Matter . Oh ef the BseeaUali. After all that baa been written and said concerning the .' material required for the construction of' good roads- the thing that ia really most needed is a good and widely diffused quality of brains, says Good Roads. ." Clay, sand, gravel, asphalt and gran ite do not make good roads until mixed with a proper amount of gray brain matter.- It is this last named ingredient that the country most sadly lacks. Than are. many signs of better things in tberoaeina of roans. Tbe whole peo ple arc Just now going to school for tbe purpose of learning how to make a good road. Most of them are yet ia the pri mary grades, but there ia likely to be a tinea for eradnatina br aarV bv whr roaamaawe nave joarneq.au aeoai ma terials and grades and "drainage and other important branches of the subject of good roads. When the people really get to think ing on this matter, they will promptly do away with those splendidly designed maoblaea for destroying roads namely, heavily loaded, narrow tired vehicles. This ia only one of many instances in which brain matter will enter into tbe building and keeping of good roads. Secretary Mortoa has called a good roads convention to meet at Atlanta while toe exposition is in progress. This should prove a good step in tbe campaign of education. Many of the county fairs are thie year holding a good roads" day, which proves that tbe fanners are taking up this question, which ia of more vital interest to them than to any other class. ; All in alL the friends of crood roads which means the whole people have very reason to confidently expect mark ed improvement in the character of the publio highways. A Coed Roads efsjeatlea. In every state there is an army of conviots, and their employment is usu ally a bone of contention. Bnt every state has thousands of miles of road that need improving. Mechanics will not do the work, and even the common laborers of our towns aud cities will not do it, without bankrupting them selves. Here is a class of work that no body wants to touch. Why not turn the conviots on it? Why not furnish the stone and machinery and permit the criminals to do something thut will amount to something and yet not come into competition with the outside world! Farmer Voice. Cltlsens of Independence, Mo Are Not Lacking; In Clvlo Pride. 3wt why everybody who can possibly contrive to live in Independence doesn't do it is somolhiiig 8,000 peoplo in thut community do not understand. There ore probably good reusons why people will iiiNint npon living elsewhere, but no one iu Independence will udmit thorn. Thcro muy be on this broud con tinent a city of 8,000 people which is prettier and which him better advantages for a residence location, but it would not be wixo to say so in Independence. In truth, and in fact, Independence is on ideal city for homes. Independence expires to be the home for the great manufacturing nud com mercial population of Kansas City, which is about ten miles distant, nnd neglects no opportunity to tell (he dwellers in thut ImxtJing city the ad vantages of Independence as u pluco of residence. Here are some of tbe most couxpiouous advantages : A splendid Byxtem of waterworks with the Missouri river as the ba.se of supply. Electric lights and gas. A splendid college for tbe education of both young men and young women. Three pnblio school buildings erected at a cost of $60,000, and a high school which fits applicants for the freshman olass in the principal colleges of the oonntry. - Magniltoeat churches, some, of which cost more than 135,000. ' - Kara than 100 trains a day to Kansas dry, a aaetropoUa of 140,000 persona. A ramnlcipaUty or rien, intelligent and courtly movie, surrounded by aa agricultoxal class fully their eqnaL Tbe Kansas City and Independence Xlectrio railway, connecting the two dties, baa trains which arrive and de part very-1 aainutea. When there is a rash of any kind, trains are furnished at five minute intervals. Their speed is about SO miles an hour. They can make 80 miles an hour. The Air line, oper ated by steam, has trains arriving and departing every 40 minutes, and tbe Missouri Paciflo and Chicago and: Alton railroads each gives a splendid,, train service. Between Kansas City, and In dependence are two splendid parks," one of . them reached by the electric road and the other by the Air line. "Both roads run theater trains to Kansas City, and every advantage of metropolitan life is enjoyed. Tbe oity has a paid fire department, and owns the buildings used by tbe de partment For a city of 8,000 people this, department is unexcelled, but in the event of a great conflagration it it provided with couplings which will en able the Kansas City department to couple at once to fire plugs and be at work in Independence within a half hour.

It ia said that the most perfect town ia the world aa regards its drainage sys tern is Pullman, near Chicago, situated on the banks of Lake Calumet, and con tainlng about 18,000 inhabitants. The whole of- the sew-ge is pumped io a farm of 800 acres, three miles distjmt from tbe town. Tbe sewers are veatilat ea by connecting all. Of tnera wita a high chimney stack, which also serves for the engine fires at tbe pumping sta tion. Tbe consequence is that when one is passing an open grating ia the street be is not assailed by whiffs of malodor ous sewer gas; ou tbe contrary, tbe down draft caused by tbe high cen tral chimney sucks the fresh outside air into the sewers, which are thus kept wholesome aud innocuous.
