"Straw used for Matches. The straw of various grasses and cereals has been tried and found suit able for wood in making matches. The straw is cut into two-inch lengths by machinery, winnowed to obtain uni form size, and then boiled in paraffine, dried and dipped into the mixture of chlorate of potash, gum arabic, etc. for the inflammable tip. The process should, if adopted on a large scale, obviate the use of wood and also give an improved match, with the advan tages of a wax vesta, at a very small cost. Tip to Local Bachelors.

Ophelia ap peared sometimes in graceful kimono and sometimes in western evening cos tume. The king at one time wore the picturesque costume of a Japanese no bleman and at others a silk hat and a swallow-tail coat. The climax was reached in Hamlet himself, who in the earlier scenes wore the uniform of a student of the Imperial university, but in the third act made his appearance an a bicycle, clad in a bright blue cy cling suit and striped stockings and at the finish was seen in conventional evening dress, with a flower in his but tonhole. The Duty of the Rich. To be rich, in itself, is no crime. It is the means of his getting rich that determines whether the rich man is or is not a malefactor. It is, how ever, as Justice Brewer does not neg lect to point out, the obvious duty of him who accumulates enormous capital representing well-nigh incal culable power for good or for evil to use some portion of his amassed riches for the benefit of the communi ty at large. He says: "The more our wealthy men come into the habit of helping educaUonal and charitable institutions and or ganizations the more they will dis abuse the minds of the less fortunate of their prejudices."

Stires now addressed the board in support of the opening of the road, followed by J. C.

Fred Schupbach, in his address to I the board, said that he had used the road, but that the same is closed since May and that he must use the same for his children to go to school. Ik N. Hitchcock said that he is a re monstrator and that it is a disadvan tage to have the road opened and that he can not see any benefit to the public by doing so. Daniel Murdock, in his address to the board, affirmed that for the last fifteen years the said section line was not used as a public road and is not used as a public road now and the opening of the same would not be a benefit to the public. At the close of the addresses the en tire matter was, on motion, referred to the committee on roads and bridges, in cluding Supervisor Pollard.

All bills on file with the clerk were, on motion, referred to appropriate committees. The proceedings of the board of su pervisors of the special session of August 24th, 1909, and of the session of August 25th, 1901, were now road and, on motion, approved by the board.

A remonstrance having been filed against the establishing of the "Guter Road," commencing at the northeast corner of section 29, town 17. range 1 east, and running thence due south on section line three-fourths mile, the matter came now on for hearing. Charles Louis, Pier Speicher and Pe ter Speicher addressed the board of supervisors in support of the remon strance and Albert Stenger and George Galley in support of the prayer of the petitioners for the opening of the pro posed line of road, at the conclusion of which the matter was, on motion, referred to the committee on roads and bridges, including Supervisor Smith.

That under the provisions of our statutes the public does not own nor can not secure right-of-way for proposed road, except by paying for same. 2nd. That many of the peti tioners are under the impression that the public is entitled to free right-of-way for same reason of public usage which Is incorrect in this case. 3rd. That the interest that should be se cured by the location of said proposed road would not justify the necessary expenditure of public money. M. E. CLOTHER, J. GOETZ, W. M. POLLARD. The following minority report was submitted: I recommend that the pro posed line of road as petitioned for by J. C. Dawson and others be opened. LOUIS SCHWARZ.
