Fire Onenchin- 1T Sea.

Investigation into the causes of the re-
cent fires on steamships has shown that
the use of very simple means OF fire ex-
tinctiOn, the injection Of carbonic acid gas
into the hold, is very often not resorted to
when it would be Of the utmost service. 1t
is a matter for surprise that this effective
safeguard which requires for its genera
tion only a few barrels Of marble dust and
twenty or thirty gallons of hydrochlor.c
acid, with hOgsheads for the confinement
of the gas and hose for its injection, is not
universally employed for the preservation
Of life and property on the high seas, es-
pecially as in the hold of vessel, which
can be tightly closed, the principal of chem
ical extinction can be applied with almost
certain success. The adoption Of such a
system would result not only in the saving
of property, but might at any time prove
the means OF averting loss Of life-New

Whv We Scream.

So used are we to our accompaniment"
that the organ must give it forth In more
or less vigorous measrre while the mar
riage ceremony is performed. The awful
''charge" laid upon the conscience of the
contracting parties, the pledge and re-
Spouse of husband and wife, the very pray
er and benediction, are lost in the waves Of
sound. Ii the average American had mis-
way brass band would be established in
the vestibule instead of the piped and keyed
instrument, but thus far church and pre-
cedent are too strong for him.
As nation we are not musical. As a
nation and as individuals we love flare and
blare, sound and sensation. We like TO
feel that we have big place in the uni
verse, and to fill it-fuil Satirists might
trace connection, remote but actual, be-
tween our taste in this respect and the in
fiuence of our national emblem-the bird
that faunts and scars and screams.
We need tOning down all along the line,
and in nothing more than in our language
and voices. The one Is ford; the others
are loud and unframed.
In general society, too many of our best

there may have been a tip somewhere and
that Higgins was not exactly satisfied that

ELEVATORS AGAIN.
The Texas Elevator Company Figuring or
Wichita--The Union Grain and
Elevator Company.

Mr.. Thomas F. McGinnis arrived yes
terday morning and will spend few days
in the city He is president Of the Texas
Elevator company, which is one of the
leading companies dealing in grain in the
country. For some time the company has
been contemplating putting in an elevator
this city and it is on this matter that
Mr.. McGinnis makes this visit. He has
been here two or three times within the
last few months and has given this ques-
ton special attention. He is quite well
satisfied this section of the southwest pro-
Huces corn and wheat which is one thing
suggestive of an elevator. He is also quite
certain that Wichita is in the center of a
great grain producing district with more
railroad facilities than any other point. In
his investigation he finds packing houses
doing good business which is an important
pointer on the inducements for elevators.
Should the company decide to erect an
elevator here, it will be Of million bushel
capacity which will be readily recognized
as an important step in that line Of bust
ness and be of great importance to the
city. 1t is thought the question will be
determined upon within a few days.
The directory of the Union Grain and
Elevator company expect to hold meet
ing tomorrow. In the unpleasantness of
the last few days there has been, prac-
tically, a cessation of business in many
sections, and this condition seems to have
attended the directory. The secretary has
some correspondence about plans for the
building and plant which will probably
command attention. 1t is thought a good
idea to have some plans and estimates be-
fore commencing to erect half million
bushel elevator.

The bond proposition in the city for
$4,000 in favor of the Dakota, Wichita &

The $4,000 in the county was voted down.
1t was not a good year for bond elections
in the country and it was scarcely expect
ed that the proposition would be favor
ably received.
Senator Bentley said yesterday that he
had received letter from MIR Eisenmeyer,
of Halstead, stating that in ali probable
ity the road would be built despite the de-
feat of the county bonds. He was some
what afraid of the way eastern capital
would look upon the conditions in the

would, in his Judgment, be possible to get
eastern money to build the road.
So far Harvey county has voted $4,000
to the company and on the Goth inst. Alta
township will vote on a SIP 900 prOpo-
sition. So far ten miles of right of way
has been secured, and in the event it is
