SMOKE AND FIRE.

Philadelphia firemen have been re- ceiving some instruction concerning the causes of the rapid spread of fires in large buildings. It has been noticed that fire which has long smoldered in one part of a structure will often spread almost instantly to all other parts of it the moment door or win- dow is opened. The usual theory is that the flames leap into activity be- cause of an increased supply of oxy- gen, but this hardly accounts for the surprising rapidity with which every
 floor of a large business block or dwelling Is sometimes swept by fire that has previously confined itself for hours to a single room or part of a room. MT. McDevitt, an insurance in- spector. told the Philadelphia f1remen that smoke itself in certain conditions is both inf1ammable and explosive. This was demonstrated by means of an apparatus consisting of a deep, round tin can, inverted over a smaller can and gas burner. Smoke was produc- ed by placing hay, grsrin, wood, and other materials in the small can and heating them over the gas burner, the smoke produced being caught in the large can. In the bottom of the latter was placed some excelsior. An open ing in the inverted can permitted the air to be driven out, and then the open ing was closed. When the can became filled with smoke, the heat of which was not sufficient to ignite the excel sior, a flame placed near the open end caused an explosion and set fire to it. The force of this explosion depends largely upon the material used to pro- duce the smoke, smoldering malt giv- also producing 8 strong explosion. From this experiment the deduction was that building filled with smoke is threatened with quick and speedy de- struction, and that some means to clear it of the finely divided carbon should be used. Spraying each room with wa ter will accomplish this, fact that was clearly demonstrated in the course of these experiments.

Again the rolling year has brought us to thanksgiving Day. Let us eat, drink ana De merry. And let us also take little time during the day or evening to be thoughtful and thankful There is much to be thoughtful about and there IS at least some to be thankful for.
 inc times' are better than they have been. The 'jingoes' have not brought on war. Tammany doesn't rule the whole country. Congress isn't in ses- slon all the time Kansas is more pros- porous and less vociferous. And the children at the High School are to be better fed than they have been if they can pay the price.
 Be thankful for your own blessings and nlercies, and be thoughtful for those who are in more need of blessing and mercy than you are. The best and most satisfying Thanksgiving feast is one made for needy neighbor, and to cause another to feel thankful is better than much formal thanksgiving on one's own account.

SHAKE DICE FOR OFFICE.
Tie Vote In Bourbon County, Kan
sas, Settled by Luck.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. S.-A new plan Of set
ting a tie vote on county officers has been
inaugurated in Bourbon county. The dice
has taken the place of the long and short
straw and everybody who participated in the
drawing of lots is satisfied except the three
Republicans, who apparently didn't under
stand the mysteries of the new game.
1t happened that the official count by the
commissioners yesterday left four ties be-
tween four Republicans and four Populists
AS is the rule in Kansas, these matters are
terested drawing straws. In this case there
were four ties and 1t was suggested that
dice box be procured and the ties thrown off
This was agreed to and the game of chance
proceeded, each tie being settled with
horses"
The first one gave the Populist candidate
the victory. The second scored another vic
tory against the Republicans and the third
caused still greater CONSERVATION because
the horse" was favorable to the Populist.
Then it was that the cry of loaded dice
went up from several Republican bystanders,
but upon examination the bones were pro-
nounced all right. There was much uneasl-
ness manifested when the fourth tie was
shaken off. But in this the spell was broken
and the Republican got in.
Railroad Commissioner billiard who was
the referee and who suggested the dice game
says it was a "fair shake" all around. He
says the good Lord was evidently on the side
of the Populists and that the change from
drawing straws" tC shaking dice to decide
ties in local elections Is a movement which
will grow in popularity in Kansas. About
dozen ties were settled in other counties, but
the interested parties were unwilling to dis
card the old plan Of drawing straws."

For the sixth time since the Won
ems council was organized, the annual
congress of woman's clubs opened yes
terday with two sessions in the Uni
tartan church, and, from now until the
closing session Tuesday afternoon, the
local club women will be involved In

among the affairs of women, and the
yearly congress is the forum toward
which the large membership looks for
q public hearing of accumulated mate
rial AS BELTS the place in which wom-
en- congregate, the auditorium was ra-
diant with floral decorations, and in
keeping with the patriotism that pre-
vailed in the evening session, when
America and American institutions
were proclaimed, the walls and gallery
were hung with flags. The stars and
stripes were mingled with the palms
and yellow chrysanthemums that were
set around the platform in great pro-
fusion. Music also had a place in the
programmes, and the papers were in
terspersed with vocal selections by
members of the musical organization
included in the membership.
The programme of the opening ses-
sion in the afternoon was presented
by the departments of reform and edu-
cation. Last evening the departments
of patriotism and history were appro-

TALKED OF BONDS.
Board of Education Holds an In
formal Session.

There was a special meeting of the board
Of education yesterday to pass bills in con-
nection with additions to city schools, and
the members of the board seized the oppor
tunity to discuss the matter OF the 500, COO
bond issue asked for from the city council.
There was not one member of the board who
did not believe that they were acting in
strict accordance with the letter Of the law
In expanding the money received from bond
issues as they had.
Director Pratt believed that in order to
maintain school houses it was necessary to
heat them, to supply janitOr service and to
provide teachers to instruct the scholars.
Director Hicks took a shot at ]. B. At
water, who attacked the action Of the board
OF education at meeting Of the charter
Atwater assumed that the law was as some
one else had quoted it, and proceeded to
criticise the board.
Il think it showed very bad judgment on
the part of Mr.. Atwater," said Director
Hicks. He pointed the finger of shame at
the board of education and cast slur upon
us which would certainly have worse effect
upon the school children than has any action
this board has even taken"
MI Peavey did not object to criticism.
But. said he, lit Is an easy matter for
those who are not responsible for the main
that shall be done. We are the ones who
will suffer most If things 90 wrong, not the
man on the outside, who, perhaps, would
point his finger at us in scorn If we closed
the schools"
The board allowed and instructed pay
ment Of the bill OF F. H. Raidt, amounting
to 1926, for the addition to the Bremen
school. To meet these bills the proper Of
fcers were authorized to borrow $4,000, pay
able Dec. l next.
The only other matter taken up was a
resolution presented by Director Quinby pro-
vding for a division of the territory under
the control Of the board into four districts,
known as school sanitary districts and that
each district should be placed under the
supervision of a medical man who should
regularly inspect all school property in his
district, and who should report the exist
ence Of any conditions prejudicial to the
health of students or teachers to the board
of education.
The matter was laid over until the next
meeting Of the board, when 1t will be acted
uDOn.

Turtle Mountain Chippewas of
North Dakota No Better OFF
Than They. Have Been.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The annual
report of Commissioner of Indian At
fairs w. A. Jones, made public today,
says there were thirty-seven contract
schools in operation last year. For the
current fiscal year it has been deemed
best to reduce the government COM
pensation to the various schools
small amount EACH rather than to cut
out any other school than the Crow
Creek school in South Dakota. The
government has between 100000 and
$4,000 900 invested in school plants. The
total number of allotn1ents to non-res-
ervation Indians approved was 1,O36;
on reservations, Yaldmas, in Wash
ington, 304; Mission Indians in Cali
fornia, IS; Chippewas, in Minnesota,
2159. Recommendation is made for the
ratification by congress Of the treaty
negotiated Oct. II, 1881, with the Pa
hutes, on the Pyramid lake reserva-
ton, in Nevada, for the surrender of
the southern portion Of the reservation,
which includes the town of Wads
worth.
Referring to the New York Indians,
it is stated that the Indians suffer, and
the Indian bureau here is embarrassed
by legal difficulties growing out of the
individual property rights of the In
dams of the Seneca nation. Under the
laws of New York state, sole jurisdic-
ton in land matters is conferred on the
peacemakers' court of the Seneca ma
tion-'tribunals of fully established
ignorance and alleged compatibility"
The defeated parties usually appeal
here, and it is difficult to make the
Indians understand that the Indian
office cannot interfere.
1.-The affairs of the Turtle Mountain
Chippewas in North Dakota" Commits
sioner Jones says, continue in the
same unhappy state of uncertainty"
the agreement Of Oct. %, 1892, with
them has not been ratified, and until
it is their state of disquiet and unrest,
it is said, will continue, 1t is recon-
mended that congress make an APP
preparation to cover the expense of the
proposed removal of the Sac and Fox
agency in Oklahoma from it's present
site in Lincoln county to near Shaw
nee.

about one-half of the Indians on that
reservation who were allotted lands
have abandoned their allotments and
removed to the Roseland reservation.
He suggests a readjustment of allot-
ments on Lower Brule, especially of
timber lands. Allotments on Rosebud
reservation are reported as progressing
satisfactorily.
Commissioner Jones reports that the
Duluth & Winnipeg railroad was
granted right of way over the White
Earth and Chippewa reservations, and
a map Of the definite location Of the
road was submitted. The Manitoba
road was granted right Of way
through these reservations in 1894 but
no maps Of definite route have yet
been filed. The map of the definite To-
cation Of the Brainerd & Northern Min
nesota road was approved in February
last,
