City Kngiiieer Andrew Ttoscwater sent to
the county commissioners yesterday after
noon the following communication concernIng -
Ing the pavement of the county roads that
are to he Improved this year :
To TUB HoNotiiiii.r. CoM i5siOnns or
DODOL&S Cot STT : In conformity with your
request I have prepared plans , specifications
nnd estimates of costs for various pave
ments , suiuhlo to the main roads from
Oinnhn Into the country , which .you have
decided to pavo. To determine the essential
features of these plans I have carefully con-
nldored all the requisites of traftlo In connec
tion with the Idea of permanency so fur as
that term can be ordinarily applied to such
improvements. L. i
To secure the host tnnd most desirable
road , the first essential aside from direct
ness of line and easy gradients Is : First ,
that the road foundation bo stable , unyield
ing nnd durable ; second , the road covering
or surface must develop the least resistance
to traction , afford good and safe rooting for
horses and nt the same time possess the
greatest resistance to wear from trnfllc nnd
the disintegrating Inlluences or natural ele
ments.
Points on Drnlnncrc.
The requisite under the first head , viz. : A
suitable foundation upon our clay and loamy
soils can bo obtained by compactness of
road bed and ready means of surface and
sub-surface riniinagn. An earth road , under
limited trulHc. makes the best of roads , if it
bo kept dry to a depth below frost lino. Un
less Itcpt free from moisture above and below
surface It will readily cut up when soft
ened by summer rains nnd become almost
impassable in the spring when the contained
moisture Is thawed out , and the heretofore
frozen section assumes a mushy condition
until a part of the contained moistiiro has
evaporated from the surface ' and the re
maining part has drained through the
] > orous soil below.
In clay soils the moisture cannot readily
po downward , nnd hence a largo period of
time elapses before complete evaporation Is
effected : hence the roads on clay soil re
main impassable longer In the spring than
* hose on loam or sand. In a pavert road , the
frost acting on the moisture below , expands
the soil and upheaves the paving surface in
Irregular slwpo. It Is thus clearly obvious
that the moisture both beneath an earth
road , as well as under cu paved surface ,
must bo drawn away below the freezing line.
In view of this common necessity , 1 have
provided for subsurface drainage u | > on all the
plans by the means of a central blind drain ,
in connection with drain tiles which liuve
side outlets at convenient Intervals.
Having disposed of the subsurface waters
it is easy to round off the surface and drain
it by side ditches , with frequent outlets
through culverts or otherwise.
AdvnntiiKn < > f Ilitnl 1'iivkeil Komls.
The compacting of the road surface next
needs attention. To have an unyielding
road bed , whether it be a plain earth reader
or supplemented with pavement , it Is of
prime importance that the bed bo thoroughly
compacted in the shape desired or else it
will soon fail by settling unevenly and fill up
with water holes nnd soft mud spots.
Uolling with heavy rollers has become the
recognized method which experience ) has de
veloped. Scarcely a county in theold settled
states and in Europe Is without one or more
substantial road rollers. The best are oper
ated by steam and weigh from ten to fifteen
tons each. I therefore , In this connection ,
advise your honorable body to secure one or
jnoro tlrst class steam road rollers , perhaps
one of light and the other hcavv tonnage ,
for use on not only the section to bo paved ,
but in the building up of the earthen roads
all over the county. Uy rolling over road
embankments when being graded , in
layers of one foot depth each ,
they will attain thorough coinpactmess
as soon as con.ipletcd and not settle at points
sis they do now. With a compacted earth
base prepared for n paved roadway and the
necessary drainage provided for , the next
subject for consideration is the character of
pavement to bo used. In considering this
wo have a largo variety to select from. I
have concluded to limit myself , however , to
n road covering of what are termed perma
nent materials , viz. , stone or brick.
Macadam us n Surface.
Macadam naturally from Its universal
usage on county roads during the past , cen
tury is the first to suggest itself to out con ;
sideration. Uneily stated , this pavement Is
composed of a series of layers of broken
stone rolled ono upon the other over a pre
pared base , smaller stones and screenings
being used on the upper layers
than on the base. This requires little
skill in laying , and when in good condition
doubtless affords , next to natural compact
dry earth , the best footing for horses with
reasonably llcht resistance to traction. Ex
cepting where it Is not too expensive the
blocks are of limestone. The objectionable
features to limestone macadam are that in
wet weather the dust resulting from traffic
forms a pasty grouting , which spurts nnd
splashes over vehicles and occupants In a
most disagreeable manner. Another fea
ture of macadam is the constant rutting
into holes.
It has been truly said of this road that Its
excellent qualities are absolutely dependent
upon perpetual excellence in its maintenance
and repairs. In my plans and estimates I
submit tiio more modern and improved form
of broken stone road pavement known as
Telford or Telford macadam. The improve
ment lies In the base layer of stonb , which
consist of u layer of stone blocks sot on
their broadest edge at right angles to the
roadway In regular oven parallel courses ,
supplemented with broken stone as already
described.
Other .Material * S
In addition to the Telford macadam , I
submit plans fora macadam upon n concrete
base. The difference in cost per milo may
range from $1,000 to . ' ,000 on these two
classes. Klthcr of them are the cheapest
of stone pavements for country roads In llrst
cost , but , if selected , the fact that they re
quire constant intention to be in a condition
of continuous good repair should not bo lost
sight of.
The plans for other paving material sub
mitted embrace n road covering of Colorado
sandstone on sand or sand and broken stone
base , and also on a concrete base. These
will bo moro costly , but the best and most
desirable , requiring little attention , ifonco
well laid , for many years , and being suscepti
ble to cleaning nnd sweeping without dis
turbing the road covering.
A plan for vitritled brlcl ; upon concrete
base , as laid in the city , is also sub
mitted. The latter makes an excellent
smooth road , its durability depending upon
thi > character of brick used. In view of the
lilfllcultj of selecting brick thoroughly vltrl-
llcd nnd of equal durability I suggest that
the bids on this bo based upon a guarantee
of live i ears maintenance.
rrntiircn of the iMnn ,
In the plans for each of those pavements
you will notice that special provisions have
been made to drain both the road as well as
the surface under U , so as to prevent any
action of frost upon the mail when
built. In connection with the subject
of paving county roads 1 am aware
that you will have innumerable advocates
of cheap roans with all classes of
covering. In most of them the very llrst
principle oflinn foundation for flrm road
covering" is utterly lirnored and the question
of subdnilnago lost sight of. It is natural
for those who have seen Hue macadam roads
and drives .11 boulevards and parks to advo
cate macadam , owing to its cheapness , but a
little investigation will show that where a
smooth , clean macadam is maintained in
public streets or park roads , the stone uecd
Is a broken granite or trap rock , neither of
which materials are available hero In Ne
braska , Secondly. It is not generally known
but Is a fact that the annual cost of main
tenance of Hue macadam streets of Paris and
other larco cities ranges from $1 to 1 per
yard , or moro than the entire llrst cost of
such pavement ,
Another fact that must bo borne In mind ;
only the light carriages under the n-Kula-
tions are allowed over such roads whereas
our main country roads must bo uicxl by all
kinds nt loaded vehicles. Again the park
roads are only traveled over in pleasant
weather , when they nrc dry nnd less liable
to rutting , whilst the country road must bo
available to loaded vehicles nt all seasons ,
These fact * must bo berne In mind in de
termining the relative merit nnd value of a
good stone or brick block paving surface ,
involving slight expense of maintenance or
attention with the eheai > er macadam road
requiring perpetual repairs and mainte
nance.
Tramway * Cmmldored ,
Thcro is still ono moro feature to be con
sidered , namely , the tramway. The advo
cates of tram ways have many strong reasons
In support of this system. I'crnaps no
stronger could be pointed than the fact that
the commerce of tne world is now mainly
carried over rails , which embody essentially
the tramway principle. On a level road the
friction of n wheel over an Iron rail Is so
slight that fully twenty times the load can
bo curried over it than on an earth road , but
the moment the ground has n slope , the pull
not only hns to overcome the frictional re
sistance of the wheels , but it must
add to this resistance the lift of the
horse , the wagon nnd its entire
load the full amount of the rise. For this
reason steam railways must limit their
gradients ; ninety fpet per mile is the
maximum grade of the Union Pacific road
over the .steepest part of the Hocky moun
tains. This is only about one and eight-
tenths feet per 100 , nnd usually two locomo
tives of nn aggregate of SOU to 1.000 horse
power operate the train. On streets and
county roads such grades are nnd neces
sarily must bo exceeded by from " 00 to400
per cent. A man starting out with a load
has no stations at Intermediate points of
steep grades with a relay of horses ready to
be hitched on to pull the load over the steep
section The load therefore must be such as
can bo pulled over the heaviest grade Da
the line , and not what ran be hauled on
the level. Again , a tr.imway for n steam
locomotive or electric street car needs no
footing for horses , but a county tram
road must be paved for horse traffic Just as
well as any other road , if It is to bo in good
passable condition at all times of the year.
It follows that aside from the reduced ex
posure to wear and tear from wheel traffic ,
the road otherwise will need equal attention
to any other form'of roadway.
Too Costly fur Nebraska.
The tramway on county roads Is preva
lent in Italy and other foreign countries
where granite is cheap. Thcro slabs of
granite two feet wide and six feet long are
set at proper distances apart for n double
trackway , with a paved surface between.
Such a road , even if the blocks were only
eight inches in width , would bo too costly to
admit of its use here. The iron plate on
wooden stringers would be cheaper. With a
plate six inches wide , weighing thirty-six
jwunds per yard , and stringers ( ! xS inches a
double track would add about $0,000 per milo
to the cost of the road. In other words , on
the sixteen feet roadway it would increase
thacost of the macadam pavement 50 per
cent , Colorado standalone nearly 2.1 per cent
and brick ! ! 0 per cent.
Aside from this extra outlay , experience
has shown a very strong tendency to rut
along the lines of the stringers , a decidedly
objectionable feature which would be un
avoidable on macadam roadways , and to a
certain though much less extent even on
stone block pavements
Considering the disadvnntagesof construc
tion , maintenance and cost , and the further
fact that a stone pavement will practically
answer all the purposes of a tramway , I
would not advise its use for county roads.

Air. Kosewater's plans were approved by
the board.
lEiiiitllio Work.
There was another attempt made to lift
Oscar Stevens from his position as secretary
of the board , but , like one made a week
ago. it was a failure. Mr. Williams called
up the resolution looking to the firing of
Stevens , and moved its adoption. There
was no talk , but when the votes had been
counted it was apparent that there was a
tie. as Williams and Stenberg had voted to
behead the cleric , while Paddock and
Livesey had voted to continue him in the
[ osition.
The position of farmer at the county poor
farm was created , with a salary attachment
of $ : iO per month. The Job was given to
William Dally.
After a lengthy discussion , which was
participated in by all of the members of the
board , it was decided to tax all of the coun
try dogs at the rate of 1 cacti.
County Treasurer Irey asked to bo allowed
to keep his extra clerks for a few weeks
longer , ho stating that he was still behind
with the work o ( making out the delinquent
tax sales. The commissioners will investi
gate the work and rejwrt their findings. It
WHS intimated that there was considerable
soldiering in the office and that there was no
prospect of the men catching up with the
tax sales.
Bids for doing the grading on the county
line road between Washington and Douglas
counties were opened and referred to the
committee. There were two bids and each
of the bidders bid 10 cents per cubic yard for
the removal of the earth.
The Sprlnir ,
Of all seasons this year is the one for mak
ing radical changes in regard to health.
During the winter the system becomes to a
certain extent clogged with waste and the
blood loaded with impurities , owing to lack
of exercise , close confinement in poorly
ventilated shops and homes , and other
causes. This is the cause of the dull , slug
gish , tired feeling so general at this season ,
and which must be overcome or the health
may bo entirely broken down. Hood's
Sarsaparilla has attained tbe greatest popu
larity oil over the country as the favorite
spring medicine. It expels the accumula
tion of impurities through the bowels , kid
neys , liver lungs and skin , gives to the
blood the purity and quality necessary to
good health and overcomes that tired feel
ing.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 7. The United
States has taken vigorous action in regard
to the outrages on American citizens at
Marsovar in tho-Turkish dominions and the
violations of the mall of the United States
legation. The facts of the case are as fol
lows :
On the 10th of January last a number of
seditious placards were distrlbuled through
out the region of Marsovar nnd Caesarea in
the center of Asia Minor. On account of
alleged seditious movements existing among
the Armenians the Turkish authorities as
cribed the authorship of these placards to
the students of Atmtoba college , nn Ameri
can educational institution of Marsovar. On
the night of the 2d of February the girls
seminary of the institution was fired and
burned to the ground. Thcro was strong cir
cumstantial evidence thai this was done
with the full knowledge , if not by direct act ,
of the Turkish officials.
Demands for redress made to the Turkish
authorities were met bj > counter demands of
their side thai Iho alleged seditious move
ments of the American students should bo
first investigated and determined upon be
fore any efforts were made to discover the
perpetrators of the outrages complained of.
Demands Ilrpitrntlmi.
Secretary Oresham ' . as cabled to the
minister at Constantinople a strong expres
sion of the president's view on the outrages
nnd demanding not only prompt reparation
for the burned seminary , but Iho punishment
of all parties found guilty in the matter.
Minister Thompson Is instructed thai
no alleged prior acts of students are
to affect the rights of this government
in the premises. Minister Thompson is
charged to give renewed attention
to the matter and to dispatch a special mes
senger , if necessary , to consult Jewett and
see to the invloliabillty of the correspond
ence. Th.o minister is to act promptly and
ndviso the department by cable. No effort is
to bo relaxed in securing the legal rights of
our citizens in Turkey.
It is understood to be the policy of the
United States to make this Marsovar inci
dent a tesl case in our relalions with Tur
key.There
There are at present more than 200 Amer
ican citizens residing in the Turkish empire
who have the management of property to
the value ot over $2,000,000. Further advices
from Mr. Thompson are looked for very
shortly.

WASHINGTON , D.C. . April" . The president
sent the senate the following nominations :
Caleb W. West of Utah , governor of Utah.
UomluicK Murphy of Washington , D. C. ,
first deputy commissioner of pensions.
Ambrose W. Lyman , tne now collector of
internal revenue for the district of Montana ,
is well known hero as former correspondent
of the New York Sun. Mr. Lyman has a
wide acquaintance and high standing among
public men and his appointment gives great
satis''action to his newspaper friends in
Washington.
The president has signed the commission
of Mr. Max Judd of St. Louis as United
States consul general at Vienna. It is said
at the State department that no communi
cations , verbal or written , have been re
ceived by the secretary to indicate that the
Austrian government has any objection to
the new consul general. Mr. .liuid will go
to Austria and enter upon the discharge of
the duties except for the unlocked for refusal
of the Austrian government to receive him.
The senate has confirmed the following
nominations :
James F. Melinp of the District of Co
lumbia , to oe assistant treasurer of the
United States.
T. Stobo Furrow of South Carolina , to be
second auditor of the treasury.
James J. Willie of Florida , to be deputy
fifth auditor of the treasury.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell today appointed 117 fourth-class
postmasters. Of this number eighty-throe
were to 1111 vacancies caused by resignations
and deaths and fourteen by removals. Of
the postmasters removed twelve served for

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 7. Each day's
recurring session of the senate shows a
diminishing attendance of senators. At the
opening today the vacant chairs were much
moro numerous than occupied ones. A call
of the senate , however , had the result ot
gathering into the chamber forty-seven
senators four moro than a quorum. The
resolution for a trip of the committee on
commerce to the Pacific coist : , for the pur
pose of deciding on Iho relalivo advantages
of San Pedro and Santa Monica for a deep
water harbor , was taken up and agreed to.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Voorhees
and referred to the committee on interstate
commerce instructing that committee to in
quire into the subject of the Hicks' decisions
nt Toledo , as to the rights and duties of rail
road employes , and to report whatever legis
lation may bo necessary to protect the
natural and inalienable rights of working
people.
The speech begun by Mr. Hoar yesterday
against the proposed constitutional amend
ment for the popular election of senators of
the United States was concluded by him to
day. It was a scholarly , historical and
statesmanlike argument , and was listened
to with profound attention. During his
speech Mr. Hoar turned his attention to the
argument of Mr. Palmer in favor of the.

There is a way to euro this aflliction.
It arises from n disordered stomach.
Read what the celebrated Doctor Ilof-

of London :
"Tho unnatural motions of the sto

the irritation of the intestines , resulting
in catarrh of the bowels , and the in-

fruitful of all knofrn causes of disease.
" I Imvo found that the unnatural mo

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 7. The cabinet
meeting today lasted nearly three hours.
Mosl of Ihe time was spent in the discussion
of the forthcoming visit of the president and
the members of Ihe cabinet to New York to
witness the naval review and to Ctilcago to
open the fair. It is understood that the de
tails of the trips have about been arranged.
The Treasury department is in an easier
condition than it has been for several
months past , due largely to the increased re
ceipts from customs. With this condition
the tightness in gold has somewhat disap
peared and where no gold was received in
payment of customs duties gold in
considerable quantities is now paid. The
net gold today in the Treasury department
is JO/.Hi-J.Ol4.1 , and it is being received daily
in exchange for small notes , for which the
demand still is good.
There nre no additional facts relating to
the assault upon a United States consulate

Cherry Pectoral
taken for consumption , in its early
stages , checks further progress of
the disease , and even in the later
stapes , it cases the distressing
cough and promotes refreshing
sleep. It is agreeable to the taste ,
needs but small doses , and does not
interfere with digestion or any of
the regular organic functions. As an
emergency medicine , every household -
hold should be provided with Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral.
"Having used Ayer's Cherry 1'cc-
loral in my family for many years , I
can confidently recommend it for all
the complaints it is claimed to cure.
Its sale is increasing yearly with me ,
and my customers think this prepa
ration lias no equal as a cough-cure. "
