There are being constructed at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works four loco
motives which are to be run with soda,
which takes the place Of lire. Soda has
much the same power az coal without
any of the offensive gases. The engines
are nearly finished, and are to be ship
ped to Minneapolis, Mimi, andrun in
the streets of that city where steam en-
gines are forbidden. The engines look
like ordinary passenger cars. Inside
the boiler is placed five tons of soda
which upon being dampened by steam
produces an intense heat. When the
soda is thoroughly saturated, the action
ceases and then it is necessary to restore
it by driving the moisture from it when
1t is again ready for use. These engines
are the first Of their kind built in this
country. They have about the same
power as those of the New York Eleva-
ted roads, and will readily draw four
light cars. Soda engines are used in
Berlin and other European cities sue
ccssfully and traverse the st. Gothard
tunnel under the Alps, where steam en-
gines cannot he used because the length
of the tunnel renders it impossible to
devise a system Of ventilation which
would carry off the foul gases generated
by locomotive.

Wise Words.

If we knew the exact value of things
we should be comparatively free from
envy.
My dear boy, don't begin fight, but
once begun stay to the finish and pick
up the fragments.
What man can't prove never ruined
any one yet; it is what he can prove
that makes it hot for him.
Don't forget this, my boy: There are
ten thousand ways to miss the bulrs-eye
and only one way to hit it.
There is pedantry in all things. Any
man who loads up a doutle-barrel gun
to kill cockroach with is & cockroach
peGant.
There are lots of things in this world
we can't explain, and that is inst what
makes the things we can explain the
more certain.
Pride is located half way between vice
and virtue, and little Of it wont hurt
saint, and good deal of it often helps
sinner.

The Oceans bed.

The bed of the ocean is to an enor-
nous extent covered with lava and
pumice stone. Still more remarkable is
it to find the floor of the ocean covered
in many parts with the dust of the me-
teOrites. These bodies whirl about in
the heavens like miniature comets, and
are for the most part broken into innu-
merable fragments. We are all familiar
with the heavenly visitants as shooting
stars, but it has been only lately discov-
cred that this cosmic dust forms layers
at the bottom Of the deepest seas. Be-
tween Honolulu and Tahiti, at the
depth of 1850 fathoms, over two miles
and half, vast layer OF this material
exists. Falling upon the land this i'm
palpable dust is indistinguishable; but
accommodating for centuries in the sea
depths it forms wondrous story of con-
tinuous bombardment Of this planet by
cometary bodies.

100 DOSES ONE DOLLAR

Is inseparably connected with Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and is true of no other medicine. 1t is
an unanswerable argument as to strength
and economy. while thousands testify to its
superior blood-purifying and strengthening
qualities. A bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
contains 100 doses and will last a month.
while others will average to last not overa
week. Hence, for economy, buy Hoods Sar-
saparilla.

a good story is told of one of our local
politicians who was canvassing for the
nomination for 4 country office. One
afternoon he attended a gathering in an
out township, and meeting an intelli-
gent-looking young man whom he
thought might have some influence,
walked up to him and shook him warm-
ly by the hand, inquiring: GLOW is
your father?" The young man an
swered: "My father has been dead
three years." "Indeed," replied the
candidate, 81 had not heard Of it. |
knew him intimately. He was one Of
my best friends, and | regret to hear it.
He was one of the best and purest men
| ever knew. You have my sympa-
thy" etc. The same evening he met
the same person in village near by,
and, having forgotten his face, accosted
him the second time with the interrog-
atory: elbow is your father?" The
young man looked at him for a moment
and said: "He is still dead" and then
walked off.

EWH THE REFORM SCHOOL.
A Happy Family-Showing the Success of
the Policy of Committing Sentences.

A Sentinel reporter met Judge Jordan yes
terday after his return from the Reform
School at Plain6eld, and found him very en-
thusiastic over the record made during the
past two weeks by the family of large boys,
or rather young men, in the institution.
This family is composed largely of boys who
have had their sentences committed by the
Governor, they being over sixteen and un-
der twenty -one years of age.
What so pleased the Judge was that not
one member of this family of some thirty odd
boys had received report for two weeks.
They had discharged every duty required
of them, obeyed all the rules while at work
or in the school and family room, and had
good Sundy-school and history lessons.
That whole family of boys should obey all
the strict rules of a Reform School for two
weeks and be cheerful and happy was al Illus
tration of the possibilities which may be OBJ
tanned in the reformation of bad boys and
young men If only the right man is secured
for, and correct methods adopted, in carry
ing on the work.
Mr.. Richard Reagan, formerly of Terre
Haute is the house father of this family,
and the excellent record made by the boys
is largely due to his kind and firm govern
ment and the personal interest he takes in
each boy, be he white or black.
The Judge says that the clause of the Re
form School law giving the Governor the
power to commute the sentences of boys
committed to the prison to detention at the
Reform School until twenty-one has worked
well in every instance but one, and he says
the State should provide at the very earliest
date possible an intermediate prison, where
all young men who have committed their
first crime should be sent. A large per cent,
if not majority, of those committed to
our State Prisons are under twenty-five wears
old. Many of them, he believes, could be
entirely reformed if the methods adopted at
the Reform School were used in their treat
ment.
The health of the boys at the school is
now excellent, as only two boys out of the
Ala were in the hospital, and they were con-
yalescents and walking about.

with former years. Groceries are active, and
sugars, cofees, sirups, molasses, green and dried
fruits are selling very well. The fish trade is ac-
tive. For butter and eggs prices were well main
tanned. Poultry has declined in price. The seed
trade wac quiet AMI unchanged.

local markets are dull, lower and fat. Receipts
are shade more liberal. Futures like spot deliv-

Corn-All grades in firm position and light re-
ceipts with active shipping demand have held
prices steady Offerings meager. Supply mot

rrested for Completely in the Rock Island
Train Robbery,

CHICAGO, March 17.-Within the past
Fenty-four hours events have transpired
hitch have established the conviction
|mong detectives that Mike Humphreys is
be of the men who robbed the Rock Island
pain and murdered kellogg Nichols. Hum
|hrey's supposed accomplice in the crime is
|nown to the police by the sobriquet of
Texas" He is broad -shouldered, muscu-
kr fellow, five feet eight or nine inches in
|eignt, weighs about 40 pounds, and has
6t-black hair and mustache. Texas" was
|nown here 10 certain detectives as an ex-
(age robber. He came from the far West,
md though not at all communicative
bout his past, it leaked out that
|e left the West to avoid the
rdent pursuit Of lynching party. 1t is
aid that he and Humphreys were COM
|anions. They were seen together very
|ften in the neighborhood OF South Halsted
md Madison streets. About three weeks
go they disappeared suddenly, the de-
ectives as yet not being able to understand
Fby, and this phase of the matter is made
bin more complicated by conflicting state
hents to the effect that both men were seen
IN the West side during the latter part of
est week. At all events investigation in
DE career OF both men has led to the posi-
fve belief that they are the guilty parties.
