already had on hand The air is full of
the disease.
1t is reported that Virginia city people
will suffer from the want of wood this
winter that article being SO high priced
that many will not be able to lay in
supply owing to the scarcity of money.
The Sentinel says there is great
dissatisfaction at the proposed eonsolida-
zion Of the Eureka and Carson City Land
Offices. Petitions to have the office re-
main at Eureka are being numerously
signed and will be forwarded to Wash
ington.
Even the Indians feel the hard times,
says the Virginia Chronicle. A buck
saving wood on South G street yesterday
was assisted by his squaw in way that
was both unique and material. He
sawed and she split the wood. She was
young and muscular and swung the ak
like Minnesota woodsman.
John Sparks, the well known cattle
king, whose bullocks range in thousand
hills in Nevada, Idaho and Texas, ex-
presses the opinion that beef will be
scarce next Spring and that it will pay
to feed beef cattle this Winter This
opinion is based on the fact that steers
are scarce in the country. Reno Journal. |

Southern California. They will go over
land. They have been old time residents
of this county, and while we dislike to

gain. We wish each and all of them
success in the land Of the orange and the

Gallard of Bloomington arrived at the
junction as the limited started and after
ward stopped for the signal.
The passenger train had the right Of way
and Engineer Smith Of the passenger ex-
pected that the coal train would stop be-
fore reaching the crossing. For some rea-
son the coal train forged ahead, running
half Its length upon the main track when
the passenger train struck. Both trains
were going at fair rate Of speed and the
shock threw the passenger coaches off the
track. The engine was derailed and the
sides of the mail car. baggage car and ex-
press car and two of the coaches were torn
out by the cars loaded with COAL
Most Of the passengers were asleep and
the shock threw them to the floor. The
splintering of the cars and the flying glass
did the worst damage. Those in the for
ward car and smoker suffered the most.
Those injured were taken from the side
next the coal train.
The work of rescue was begun by the
crews of both trains under charge of Con-
ductor David Jutshaii Of the mail Ply
sicians were summoned and word was sent
TO Kankakee and more doctors responded.
The injured were placed in the cars least

Allno-Tadema.
From Where Art Begins.

From Where Art Begins.
Alma-TRdema has shown how an artist
can initiate marble in his Roman master
pieces by his care and tender manipulation
He has raised the art of the grainer to a
very lofty pedestal indeed In the Royal
Academy exhibition, when crowds gather
round his antique REVEALS, it is not the
noble Roman men and maidens who force
the cries of admiration from them so much
as the broad spaces of white and colored
marbles which predominant in these compo-
sitions: those time-stained. rusted blocks,
with the slight suggestion Of a flaw here
and there; the iron stains showing through
the subdued luster Of the Roman limestone;
the polished pillars and inlaid floors all
kept under control. with the veins offered
only as an apology at rare intervals.
This art of fidelity to nature and rigid
restraint have made him the grand master
grainer of the age. And yet l have seen
as fine specimens as ever Tadema produced
on his canvases wrought upon a show pam
ell, only that have not seen the same mod
esty and restraint. The producer of the
show panel, as a rule. exerts himself too
much and attempts to put into one panel
the results Of a whole palace, and that is
the mistake which makes his work appear
superficial and unreal.
Alma-Tadema puts no more work In his
slab than appeared in the slab he copied SO
literally. because he never permits his imag-
ination to run away with him while he has
nature to guide him. and that il the secret
Of his wonderful success.

OVER A BILLION DOLLARS.

Probable Street Paving Expenditure
In America for the Next Ten Years.
1t Is only in American cities having q
population of more than 10000 that less
than one-third Of the total lengths Of streets
mas been paved in any manner. If the
construction of new pavements on the re-
naming A.S38 miles Of streets in such cities
proceeds as rapidly as now seems proba-
BILE, the expenditures for this work for the
next ten years will aggregate upward of
s.. 900. 1000. It is doubtful, according to
the Century, If more than 60 per cent of
the streets Of these cities would then be
well paved. From well-paved street
abutting real estate derives an increased
value. hardly ever less and often many
times more than the cost appportioned 10
It. 1t Is. therefore. right that abutting
property should, as it does in most Ameri-
can cities, bear the cost of the construc-
| ticn of a pavement, which becomes at once
substantial Improvement, having q sala-
BILE value. on which the property owner
alone can realize. The benefits are shared
to some extent by adjacent property
which may not abut on the street, but it
Is doubtful if fair and practical apportion-
ment of the cost could be carried beyond
the border line, though the justice of this
! restriction Is almost intolerably strained
when one paved street is compelled to
bear the travel that would pass over others

All calculations of the economies and
profits of paved streets fail to encompass
the sum of gain from them. because there
Is much involved that Is intangible in char
acter. The benefits of better sanitary con-
ditions with the consequent productiveness
resulting from good health. the saving Of
expenses for medicines and the professional

some cases of lives that might succumb to
the deleterious influences inherent in bad
streets-are all incalculable; nor can be
estimated the far-reaching results of the re-

Dangerous Work Sometimes Perform

For police purposes Ireland is divided into
thirty-six counties and rulings. says the
Saturday Review. Dublin has a police force
Of its own, while in Belfast and Cork
fixed force of the Royal Irish constabulary
- maintained Each county is divided into
districts numbering from two to twelve.
and each district into sub-districts vary
ing from three to sometimes as many as
thirty, when temporary huts and special
protection posts are reckoned. Among the
sub-districts the various town lands are
allotted. each of which has to be frequently
patrolled by the police of the sub-district
The police stations, or barracks as they
are called. are generally five to ten miles
apart, the strength of each being on an
average. one sergeant and four constables.
The duties to be performed are various; in
addition to the ordinary police work they
are charged with taking agricultural sta
tistics. carrying out the provisions Of the
cattle diseases, customs. and Illicit distil-
lation acts, and attending fairs, markets,
races, and elections to preserve the peace.
But during the disturbed times they were
almost wholly occupied in protecting pro-
cess servers and bailiffs. sheriffs executing
writs. agents. landlords. farmers who had
paid their rents. boycotted persons, and all
persons obnoxious for some reason Or other
incomprehensible to any one outside the
immediate neighborhood. A dangerous and
arduous duty was protecting government
note takers at land league meetings. dis
persins proclaimed meetings. and suppress
ing riots. Again. at orange and national
list anniversaries in Ulster, vast numbers of
the Royal Irish constabuiary are drafted
from other parts of ireland to prevent col
nsions when opposing factions meet. On

course to the baton or the bayoueI. they

THAT SCHOOL PANIC.
City officials Discuss the Subject Of
General Safety.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS ARE SAFE
Superintendent Powell Talks of the
Various Local Buildings.
COMMISSIONER ROSS INSPECTS

The panic among the children Of the Gar
net school building yesterday. caused by
one of the pupils falling in a fit. is likely to
draw the attention OF the school authori-
ties and all those Interested in the schools
to the dangers that are likely to arise from
failure on the part Of the children to
control themselves in times of real or fam
cied danger. 1t Is also probable that the
power exerted by the teachers as a means
OF prevention will also be considered. 1t
Is thought that at such times the teacher
has good deal of control, for the pupils
have been taught to obey and their ODE
dience Is given to one person, the teacher.
A word of command from the teacher would
be apt to have great influence of a quiet
Ing kind, especially If it came In a way
tnat the scholars had been accustomed to.
FOR this reason what was known as the
hre drill was established In the schools and
was regularly practiced. In recent years
THIS practice has been abandoned and 1t is
thought that the system in vogue in the
schools of the orderly filing out of the rooms
at recess and at the close of the sessions
each day Is q sufficient drill. There is no
REASON II Is said, why. In the event of fire
or OF any alarm. when it is thought Avis
abe that the rooms should be eu,ptiad.
'hat the scholars should not file out in the
same order that is observed each law IN
leaving the rooms.
The main object would be accommodated
by the clearing of the building az an ,ha

while the panic Of yesterday occurred
IN a school that does not come under the

tendent OF the first six divisions, yet he is
naturally interested in the occurrence in
Its possible relation to the schools for which

any feeling Of uneasiness among parents
to the safety of the school buildings in tho

said, that owing to the enlightened policy
