State Senator Young of Montgomery

half century into the future.
He found people living in glass or

all the machinery, everything employ

''cOllectivist' system had been in effect
since 1925. AT that date every man
was permitted to take the house he had
quired to work out a building tax of
ten days, and in this way the houses
were kept in repair. Few men kicked;
men worked from sense of civic
duty"
Occasionally ''incorrigibles'' were
found, but they were cured by ''writs
of assistance; that is, they were put
out of their homes. SeVenty-twO days
of the year were given to the social
needs of the people; that is to- say
time to the public good. and in this
way public utilities, schools, newspa-
pers and highways were maintained

possessions, but he could not rent it.
The money of the period represented
hours of labor and it passed current

making a profit out of anybody else.

for social needs" There were both

YELLOW FEVER GERM.
DR.. Eanarelli of Montevideo, Makes
the Discovery

Washington. July 31.-Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman of the marine hospital ser
vice has had translated the account
written by DR.. Sanarelli of Montevideo
of his discovery of what he claims to
be the yellow fever germ and which he
calls the icteroid bacillus. He says the
bacillus was discovered in the second
case examined. The doctor dwells up
on the difficulty of making sure of re-
Suits. because of the numerous mi
crobes found in yellow fever patients.
The particular germ which he holds
to be responsible for yellow fever, DR..
SanareHi says is found in the blood or
tissues and not in the gastric intestinal
cavity. He notes the fact however
that in yellow fever as in typhoid that
the digestive tract is the seat of
abundant bacilli. but he does not
associate these with the real yell

therefore that the virus of yellow fever

HO FOR THE KLONDIKE.
The New Goldfields of A1aska-A
Dream and of Wea- tn

AS it is now too late for those who
contemplate going to the Yukon gold
fields of Alaska to start this year, a
company is already being formed to
start early next spring. A steamer has
been secured and the company will
leave Puget Sound early in the month
of March. 1898, arriving at the mouth of
the Yukon river in time to transfer the
party and supplies to a river steamer
and be ready to go up the river as soon
as the ice breaks up. The company
will own it's steamer and thus be able
to go, or stay, when they like, and be
able to land its party in the Klondike
country far ahead of any other party.
Parties joining the company and going
this way, have many advantages, and
it will not cost any more than to go via
Dyea route and they save 500 miles of
very rough overland travel. Frank L.
Champion, the we'll known newspaper
man of Mt. Vernon, Wash, is at the
head of the enterprise. and parties in
tending to go to the Yukon gold fields
in the spring should send him ten cents,
money or stamps, for full particulars,
maps, costs and necessary supplies for
one two years trip.

BY ELECTRICITY.
Booth fuckers Irrigation Plants May
be Run by Motors.

Land Commissioner John E. Frost of
the Santa Fe, who returned recently
Commander Booth-Tucker of the Saliva
ton Army, says that the first colony
established by the Salvation Army
leader will be in the Arkansas Valley
at some place between Garden City,
Kan, and Pueblo, Col Booth-Tucker
will at once commence arrangements for
esta blishing the first colony, and by
next spring it is expected that between
500 and 1000 families will have been
furnished homes in the valley of the
Arkansas river.
Mr. Frost says that Booth-Tucker
contemplates irrigating the land in that
section by means of electrical power.
This plan, he states, will be carried out
by the commander if it is found that
the expense of establishing a central
plant and carrying the power through
miles of country is not too great.

TREACHEROUS GLASSES.
Two Railroad Men Come to Topeka
With Badly Injured Eyes.

When some mechanical genius finds
means of substituting a safely appar-
atus for the treacherous water glass on
locomotives, the list of railroad men in
jured annually will materially decrease.
AS it is, hundreds of railroad men are
injured every year by water glasses
breaking. Two railroad employees came
to Topeka today with badly injured
eyes. both injuries due to breaking wa
ter glasses.
One was J. B. Cunningham, a Santa
Fe-engineer running out of Las Vegas,
New Mexico, and the other was Will
liam McGraw, an employe of the Rock
Island shops a Horton. Both men had
their eyes seriously cut and torn by the
explosion of engine water glasses, and
may possibly lose their sight.

PAST RECORDS DEAD.
PAST hECOHDS DEAD,
All Santa Fe Men Have Equal Stand
ing After Today

Tomorrow is looked upon as an i'm
portant day by the employees of the en-
CINE and train service of the Santa Fe
railway proper. 1t is the date on
which the Brown system of discipline
in the government of employees in those
branches of service goes into effect.
Every train and engine employe in
the service of the road will take a fresh
start tomorrow Men who have been
suspended for neglect of duty, or pos
sibly discharged for some more griev-
Gus offense and afterward rehired, will
have the same standing tomorrow as
men who have worked for the company
for years without suspension or rep
rimand. The past record of the en-
ployes is entirely blotted out by the in
auguratiOn of the system and a new
record started.
From the fact that discharge under
the Brown system is final, the officials
of the Santa F'e believe that it will re-
suit in obtaining from the men their
best efforts in the important work of
handling trains. On all other roads on
which the system is now in force it has
proven successful
