some OF HIS Hest Horses Are To Appear
ON the Montana Circuit.
In an unaccountable way circulation has
been given to the report that none Of tho
horses In the Daily stable are to appear on
the Montana circuit this year. The report
Is entirely false. says the Anaconda Htan-
dard. The trotting stables under tho care
Of Andy Mcdowell and Ben Kennedy, and
string Of thoroughbreds which will be
handled by Norman Smith, will make the
Montana circuit this season and will do
their level best to cnrry off thci share of
the prizes. Yesterday Norman Smith was in
Anaconda on business relating to his string.
Tho horses at ths DAILY ranch appear to
be in excellent condition." said Mr.. Smith,
"and we expect to make first rate snow
ing this year. The weather has been 80
unsettled that the stables have not been
getting the usual amount OF work, but we
shall be in good shape just the same when
tho season opens. SOC it announced in
San Francisco newspapers that the DAILY
hot SOS n not going into the Montana cir
cult. This is mistake, and ii ought to be
corrected, rs We want to have everybody
understand that Montana men are going
TO appear with good horses, and we would
like to induce eastern owners and the
horssmen on the Pacific coast to como here
and try it on with us. The purses arc
handsome, and they ought to attract a
good many owners of first class horses.
Those who do come may IS we'll under
stand in advance TINT il they carry away
anything they will have to race hard for ali
they get"
Mr.. Daily said there is no foundation for
the report that his horHes are not to make
the cironit in this state. ION the contrary
added Mr.. DAILY, ''ws have made all our
plans to take in the Montana circuit, and
the stable will fight hard in hope Of making
good record. It looks to me a. If We were
going to have much mora successful
season this year than Montana has ever
seen, and you will bs surprised at the
number Of frst-class horses that will be
ont I hope that some Of the best stables
in California and Kentucky will be repre-
sented. Owners in other states will find
an opportunity in Montana for contests
that will be worthy Of the best horses they
can send"
1t is understood that the managers Of the
circuit are doing everything in their power
to let outsiders know about the big induce
ments offered in this state. Preparations
for the season have been made on an ex-
tremely generous scale, and it is believed
that the record for the year will be brilliant
beyond precedent.

Dynamite on the Track

BuDA PEsTH, MAY IA great sensation
was caused to-day BY an explosion in An
drassey street, one of the fashionable
thoyoughfares. As one OF the electric cars
was moving along there was a sudden jur.
followed by a terrific roar. The shock was
very great and people in the car were ter
ribly frightened. Investigation showed
that the OK xplosion was caused by dyna-
mite cartridge concealed along the rail in
such manner that the fanqe of the wheels
would explode 1t. Search showed that
seven other cartridges were placed along
side the rails, but in some, manner had be-
come misplaced. This was fortunate, for
had the cartridges exploded simultaneously
no doubt the car would have been blown to
pieces and many of the occupants killed
The wheel that struck the cartridge was
blown Off tho axle and the bottom of the
car badly shattered. Nearly all the passen-
gers We Q more or le1s severely bruised, but
none Of the injuries are fatal.

In such fires as that at Indianapolis it is
usually found that the helpless victims were
immured in buildings having no properly con-
strueted stairways or other sufficient means Of
egress. Where hospitals, asylums and the like
are run on happy-go-lucky plan it is found
that sooner or later untoward results ensue.
1t is the business of building inspectors to in
spect such houses with unusual care and in no
Case to give their assent to or permit to be car
ried out plans Of construction that are faulty.
Places Of amusement large tenement or apart
ment buildings, hotels, business edifces as
well as hospitals and colleges, should be
planned and erected with extraordinary care.
whereas in many instances the reverse is the
practice. Convenience Of exit and egress GER
tAinty Of escape by one of several modes,
proper strength Of wall and roof-supports, ex-
cellence Of materials used, preparation of

secured by the inspector. Such deplorable.

Apropos recent senatorial elections in Mary

peal of what Is known as the eastern shore
Law" it is well to bear in mind two facts: /.
That the requirement that one United States

one from the western shore was originally
made when communication was difficult and
the two sides Of Chesapeake bay we're like two
separate communities. They were also nearly
equally divided as to population and resources.

The educational value of a public library,
such as it is hoped the capital will some day
have, is too great to be estimated. This fact
has been recognized By those who have ear
nestly advocated the measure. now pending in
Congress, intended to secure such a library for
Washington The movement, considered from
the educational standpoint, now receives the
strongest kind Of Endorsement from the super
intendent Of public schools, whose constant
duties in the schools with their forty thousand
pupils give him such opportunity of measuring
the educational needs Of the city, and the value
Of well-arranged library open to all, that he
can well be considered high authority. Super
intendent Powell sums up his views, in a report
published elsewhere in today's STAR, in the re-
mark: "A public library is more valuable to a
Community than university"

Il is unfortunate that every discussion Of oc-
casional turbidity in the Potomac water should
lead to grievous ISLANDERS upon the magnificent
river that flows by the capital. and in most in
stances bring the public face to face with q
water meter Job. As Gen Meigs discovered
after exhaustive examination the Potomac is
the only adequate source Of water supply for
Washington in this whole section. and it fur
nishes limitless and healthful supply, derived
from a rapid stream II was not intended that
the Potomac water should come directly
from the river into the city mains. 1t
was we'll known tina, the water was occasionally
muddy. and receiving reservoir was planned
as a settling basin The labors Of those who
recognize the necessity of unlimited pure
water for Washington should be directed to the
practical project of removing mud from the
Potomac water, and this, it is believed, can be
accomplished by utilizing the receiving reser-
voir in the manner originally intended. 1t is
only in the event that this plan after thorough
experiment. fails that expensive filtration should
be reso-ted to- The suggestion of filtration always
has tagging at its heels the suggestion Of
necessary limitation Of the use of water and
the recommendation OF some patent water
meter. The house-holders of Washington do
not want water meters. Those water takers
who make extraordinary use Of water in their
business may reasonably be required to pay in
proportion to this use. to be ascertained by
measurement. but the house holders who use
the water for domestic purposes only revolt
against the stinting and expensive water
Omitting entirely consideration of the wishes
and welfare Of the water-tsker, especially the
poor wster-taker. it is necessary for the health
and sttrsetiyeness of the city that the water
supply shall be abundant and cheap, used with
out stint. almost as free and inexpensive as the
