A New Road Material.
Martin Dodge, an attache of the
agricultu ral department, is at the ex
position to put in an exhibit for the
department that will attract great
attention among farmers. The de
partment has tested the plan thor
oughly and has found that a system
of flat steel plate rails is of immense
advantage in transporting produce
over country roads. The plan is to
set the rails, with an upper surface of
about live inches, in cement and to fill
the intervening space with concrete.
There is a flange on the inner side to
hold the wheel on the track and the
width of the rail is sufficient to ac
commodate th tire of any ordinary
farm wagon. The wagon is thus en
ablsd to roll along over the rails in
the fashion of a street car and may
be propelled with a small fraction of
the puwer usually necessary. The
arguments used by Mr. Dodge in sup
port of this system are: First, that
with steel at one cent a pound, the
method is as cheap as a macadam
pavement would be; second, that its
durability is much greater, and, as
there is no perishable material used
in the construction, the trackage is
practically indestructible, and third,
that a much smaller motive force is
necessary, as it is estimated that over
the trackage a horse is able to draw
fifty times its own weight, whereas
over the usual country road two to
four times its weight is the load of an
ordinary animal.
Mr. Dodge will lay 510 feet of this
track on the exposition grounds to
demonstrate the construction, run
ning west on Twentieth street. He is
accompanied by E. J. Harrison, also
of the agricultural department, who
is an expert in road making. Mr.
Harrison has already discovered un
suspected paving material in this
state and will illustrate the most ap
proved methods in road formation
from materials already known to be
ac ccssible.

Kame Commissioners Today.
Madrid, Sep. 15. The queen re
eent presided at the cabinet council
today. Senor Sagasta outlined the
situation, and said that the govern
ment had received no reply from the
United States to its repatriation of
Spaniards in the Philippines. Accord
ing to reports from Manilla, one-third
of tne prisoners cf General Aguinaldo
have died of bad treatment. The
peace commission will be appointed
tomorrow.
The Daily Mail says: ""The politi
cians, for the most part, favor an en
tire renunciation of the Philippines in
exchange for economic advantages. "

Teacher's Examination.
The time fixed by law for county ex
aminatioa lor teacher's cerlilicates, is
the third Saturday of oach month, but
inasmuch as it is practically impossi
Die to complete the examination in
one day, the Friday preceding the
third Saturday of each month will al
so bo given for examination, thus
makin g two days each month instead
of one.
The internal icvenue collector at
Omaha states that it is not necessary
to place a revenue stamp on teacher's
certificates, or on orders issued by the
directors, or the annual report of the
directors, or on tho teacher's contract,
but revenue stamps to tho amount of
fifty cents are required on district
treasurer's bond filed with the county
clerk. Respectfully
