THE ROADS ARE NOW FINE FOR TRAVELING Condition of Highway North of This City Shows Good Work on Part of Commissioner. It is the general policy to raise a large sized complaint when the highways get into bad shape as they frequently do in this county of hills and hollows, and when the roads are in good shape it is only just that the men who labor to keep the high ways up get a few words of praise, as they have been given a large amount of criticism. The George Washington highway from this city north to tho Platte river wagon and auto bridge is in very good condition at the present time and particularly that section from the city limits to the Burling ton tracks at Oreapolis and for the greater part of the way they are as hard and smooth as the ordinary pavement as a result of the work of Highway Commissioner McKec and his force of workmen. The low places north of the Burlington tracks are a little rough in places, but this is a roadway that it extremely hard to keep in good shape and it is now the best that i' has been for some time and if there is no more rain in the nqxt few d iys should be as good as that of th-; road farther south. This is one of the most extensive ly traveled pieces of road in the county ar.d every day hundreds of cars pass over it and the drivers who are familiar with the road all agree that it is now in as fine shape as it has been for a long time and a real pleasure to travel over.

Matthews hits Prohibition Former United States Commission er, John A. Matthews, in behalf of tho Newark AeTie, took sly jals at prohibition, promised tliat Newark would be remembered by his visiting brothers, and indicated the brother hood of man as the highest hope of the order. "I hope you have a wonderfully good time." Mr. Matthews said. "Vol stead is a good man, I have nothing against him. But, in spite of the rig orous representative, I hope you have a convivial time." An Eagle in the front row leaned over to his neighbor and whispered somthing about a suitcase. "Conviv iality is the breath of life to me." continued Mr. Matthews, "and I would pray for death were convivi ality denied me." Mr. Matthews left Volstead the laughing stock of the audience, and turned to the significance of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. "F. O. E. means forgive your enemies," he in terpreted. "We must show them that the principles of liberty, equality and justice can be translated into deeds. The brotherhood of man can be made a reality. "So. welcome to the big, glorious city of Newark," the former United States commissioner concluded. "Wel come to a good time, by all means. You will make a better city and a better America.

DEATH OF MRS. MIKE MAUZY IN THE WEST Passed Away Friday Night at Home in Los Angeles Body Being Returned for Burial. From Monday's Dally. The announcement was received here by Judge Allen J. Beeson Satur day evening of the deitli at Los An .uelcs, California, of Mrs. Mike Mauzy. following an ill;ie5.s of several dayo duration from heart trouble. The condition of Mrs. Mauzy has been extremely low for several days past and on Wednesday a mesrge was received here by the relatives in which hope of her recovery had been given up by the attending physicians and in response to which Morgan Waybright, brother of Mrs. Mauzy, Ftarted back to his home in Los Angeles, hoping to reach there be fore the beloved sifter should pa s away. It was too late, however, as the death messenger came to her side Friday evening, while Mr. and Mrs. Waybright did not reach Los An geles until this morning. Helen Waybright v. as born in the confines of the old Dominion sixty nine years ago and spert her girl hood days in the ol Virginia home, and came to Nebraska some forty two jears ago.. Fi a few years she made her home with her brother, Morgan Waybright and wife in this city. Shortly after Miss Waybright came to Nebraska. Mike Mauzy, an old time friend and school mate also came west and located in Platts mouth and it was here that these two estimable young people were united in marriage at the home of the bride's brother. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Mauzy continued to make their home in this city up to a year ago when they departed for California to make their home at Los Angeles, where their son Robert had located. The last few years Mrs. Mauzy has been in failing health, as an accident a few years ago had proved a great shock to her and it was in the hopes that the change cf climate might benefit her that the family decided to move to the Pacific coast. She was not dangerously ill until the last few days, when her illness took a decided turn for the worse and she has gradually into death. To mourn her death there remain the husband and one son, Robert, both of whom were with Mrs. Mauzy when she passed away; three broth ers, Morgan Waybright, of Los An geles, Robert Waybright residing in the old home in Virginia and Albert Waybright of Ashland. Another brother. Will Waybright, died at Lincoln three weeks ago. One sister, Mrs. Phoebe Pilaris, residing in Wy oming, is also left to share in the sorrow of her going. The body will be brought to this city for burial, the husband and son leaving Los Angeles this afternoon and they will reach here Thursday afternoon on No. 2 over the Burling ton. The funeral services will be held at the Methodist church of which the deceased lady was a life long member, on Friday afternoon, but the exact hour has not as yet been eletermined upon. The passing of Mrs. Mauzy is greatly to be regretted as it takes from the family circle a tender wife and mother and a lady whose chris tian life has been an inspiration to the friends with whom she has been associated for years in this city. Her going leaves a place hard to fill in the golden circle cf love and friend ship and only the smoothing hand of time can soften the sense of sor row that has come to the family and friends in their loss.

At a meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Wabash Grain com pany, held Fridny evening with a representative of the U. S. Grain Growers Assn., action on signing up was deferred until another meeting cf the board on Tuesday evening, when they can have a full board meeting, two members being absent. The Wabash Grain company is a corporation, and not organized un der the co-operative laws, and it is therefore not eligible to membership in the U. S. association. An elevator must be organized under the co operative laws and pay patronage dividends to its members. This is pne of the strict requirements. The "co-operative" feature has been the slogan of fome four hun dred elevators in Nebraska and has won them many times the fight to carry it through, and it would be folly to drop the "co-operativ1" idea when expanding onto the terminal market. However, the Wabash company is planning on signing on condition that later they will change and reincor porate under the co-operative laws. This can be voted on only at an annual meeting, and must then carry by a two-thirds majority. The method is simple a two-thirds vote of the stockholders being necessary to dis solve, and they immediately after re-crganize. adopting new Articles of Incorporation which comply with the co-operative law requirements. It can all be done in one evening and in a very few minutes. The directors expect to sign up at their meeting Tuesday night under the above conditions. This will be the fifth Cass county elevator to sign, making a total of over ninety in the state of Nebraska. MRS. BALLANCE POORLY From Tuesday s Daily.
