TO THE IIONOItAULi: Ceuncil:
The reoplo have a light to uxpeet
from you geutlemeu a let up on a do
nothing policy. You wuo elected
on tho issue of pomnuieut public
improvements. Tho people, the
business men aud tho heaviest tax
payers have asked of you a substan
tial stone or brick arch viaduct on
South Commercial street. Do you
propose to give them a plank aud
pile structure that will coat the city
just as much now, and more In the
long run? Is It not I lino to stop
erecting rotting aud decaying pile
bridges?
You gentlemen are pledged to im
prove our streets. If you have any
respect for tho votes given you by
tho people a few months ago, you
will not let this year go by and
gieeu bcum standlug In front of our
business places, aud residence streets
almost impassable. You will not
allow a mayor who seems to bo a
echo of a respectablo non-resident
to thwart you at every slop to make
needed Improvements.
Are you gentlemen awaro that a
finely improved street will go far to
double tho value of overy foot of
proporty fronting on tho Htrect Im
proved ? Let tho honorable mayor
shake his head at you as 'ho likes
and hammer the desk till ho Is blue.

En. Jeuiinal: I deslro through

pnrse.built onmlle of good road. At
this time the county in question was
said ti eoutalu tho muddiest road In
tlifrti.lt. P.ul thu objict iesaon of
the mile of roadbed had Its eflect,
and iuv tho sumo county la cole
brniefi fur its good roads.
Wltlii'U going Into statistics as to
the number of horses owned by the
farm Vif this country, it Is plain tha
a condition if affairs 'which exacts
the labor of two horses to do what
nhould bo the work of ouo is dis
astrous 1i the bunliH'88 sense. Good
road3 are tho lest possible invest
ment for a j-tato that cares for the
prwperily"of Ha greatest producing
Jis. Thev are of the greatest lm
pouauco to railroad?. Good roads
wuuld easily double the width of the
bell or zone of supply r-f railroad
lines, and would maintain such
supply winter aud summer. This
would avoid the troublesome glut of
freight when tho mud diles up, and
the waijl of business hen tho frost
leaving tho ground, produces lm
pds.Huble roads.
All this fcecms clear" euough, but
Is hard to Imprebu upon those most
nearly concerned, llow far state or
federal aid should bo devoted to the
end of seeurlug guod loads Is
a queotlou for political economists.
It hxems clear that without some
such aid tho end will never bo
readied. In Europe, the state is the
road maker. The great caits of the
French farmer, with broad tires,
roll smoothly over splendid Telford
surfaces, a taudem team drawing
immense weights without painful
etlort. A parallel plcturo is pre
sented in other countries, England
aud Italy among tho rest. The
work of road improvements la being
furthered by constant agitation, by
publication of manuela on tho sub
ject, and by an excellently edited
monthly magazine published in
Now York. All this work will
eveutually have Its eflect. It has
been found that roads can bo laid
under tho boud system without
overburdonlug the taxpayers, and
it seems probable thut fifty years
from now, the people will contem
plate with amazomont tho condition
of things that permitted a whole
reclon of farming Industry to bo
paralyzed by a "mud blockade."

THE ROAD PEOBLEM.
How a Few Miles of Good Roads
Oporatu as an Object Lesson.
Tho road (mention is uow one of
the great Issues of tho day. Of all
civilized countries, the United Btates
probably holds tho palm for bad
roads. The annual messages of gov
ernors of states have taken cogniz
ance of the need for better roads;
the roads of a dlblrlot have Jieen
made a subject for Indictment by a
grand Jury. In tho dally paperH we
read of a mud blockade, when farm
ers wero couuneu 10 tiieir nouses
becauso the roads wero Impasaable,
Their produce was locked up, money
became scarce; the local merchants
suflered in their business, so that a
local financial crisis was the effect of
bad roads. Wo read that a farmer
in Pennsylvania, whllo using a six
horse team to haul a Dingle load of
hay, had one of his homes fall In
tho road, aud the horse drowned bo
fore It could bo got out. This quts-
Hon, "How ore tho roads?" bo fre
quently put In country places, telle
a whole story of the dependence of
farmers on roads for their prosperity,
comfort, and even for aoclol recrea
tion and enllghtment. Without
practicable transit, thero can bono
aupporl for family gatherings,
lecturex or lycoums, and the very
schooling of the children of thu
country depend on the same thing
good rondtf.
OccNidouly It Is found that the
people In a given district Mho to the
Imrx-stuncc 0f this subject. In New
Jersey, a fjroup of adjoining
coun'lea have positively truns

SUICIDE BY HANGING.
How Mrs. Gatherino Myers Tosi
Her Life Yesterday.
Poutlanp, March 15.Ctttheriu
Myers, a German woman, wife o
Antone Myers, proprittor of a 6au
sago factory at 287 Third Btn-et
hung liersolf iu her room yesterday,
aud tho body is now resting at thl
morgue.
Tho story of tho tragedy ia tru
closing chapter In tho drama oft
sad life. Driven orazy by grief ovei
thu death of a babe while yet suck
lng at Its mother's breast, Mra
Myers. In a fit of madneiw, ha rk
parted this world.
Mr. and Mrs. Myora llvo in room.
over tho Oril saloon, at 237 Tbi
street. They aro natives of Ger
many, having been In this country
about twelve years. They have been
married only a few years, and thi
frulta of their union was tho child
tho joy and pride of the parent
hearts.
But It was too frail to be nurturet

Ullll ill VIIU IUV. XUU IlKXl U, il
llttlo ouo unbalanced the ruotusrs
mind, and sho has been demented
over since. Not u fow weeks ago the J
doctors attending her decided that
sho must bo committed to tho Insane
asylum, but, as her insanity had
never taken a desperate form, her
lniBbaud was loth to havo her taken
away frpm him,
Yesterday Myers was worklug
usual lu his factory baok of the
loon, and had left his wife in her,
room with no suspicions of any uti-,
usual demonstrations on her patt.
About 0:30 ho had occasion to go
upstairs, and found her hanging by
a ropo and swiuglng clear of tbe
Hoor. A ribbon doubled was w
ourely tied around hor neck, and a
common clothes lino was fastened
at ouo end to It, aud the other
around tho sill of tho transom over
the door. An overturned chair was
ovuleticcthat sho had climbed on to
It and fastened Iho ropo, and then
kicked It over.
Myers was too overcome to collect
Ills soilpcs, aud instead of cutting
her down rushed out of the room
and downstairs, crying that his wife
had hanged hcraolf. John Bellsls,
deputy sheriff, was passing at the
time, aud on hearing Myers' cries
went upstairs with him to investi
gate tho matter. Ho immediately
cut her dowu and dispatched a
messongor for adoctorandacoroner.
Tlio woman's eyes wero open as u
hung iu her ghastly situation, and
she winked several times, but WM
tumble to say a word. It was evi
dent that she had not boon in the
position long. 8ho was black in the
face and unconscious, and expired
before tho arrival of the doctor,
Tno coroner arrived soon after,
and tho woman was taken to the
