Mrs. Janeway's great good fortune
comes, however. after two great mis-

months ago, and then, very recently,
her grief so overcame the widow that
her mind gave way, and she was sent
TO Kirkbridge's asylum. There, it is
hoped, a change may be effected.

TEACHERS DISAGREE.
And In Consequence Prof. Austin Is
Dismissed From The Military
CnlIAga

And In Consequence Prof. Austin Is
Dismissed From The Military
College.
A little CONSERVATION was created
yesterday when it became known that
Prof. Chas. F. Austin, a teacher OF
the West Texas Military academy,
would no longer be connected with that
institution.
1t was learned that Prof Austin re-
ceived written notice from Prof. A. l..
Burleson. director OF the school, yes
terday, informing him that his services
were no longer required. No reasons
for this action are assigned, at least
none could be learned.
Shortly after the Christmas holidays
Prof. Dorset rendered his resignation
as a teacher in the school, and 1t Is
said that since then there has been
no harmony among the faculty.
What the cause Of Prof. Dorset's res
ignation was could not be learned for
publication. A number of the stu
dents of the school were seen yesterday
and they expressed regret at Prof.
Austin's severance from the institu-
ton. They all seemed to like him and
none appeared to be able to give any
cause for his dismissal.
1t is reported that Prof. Massey, also
one of the teachers, is to resign in con-
sequence of Prof. Austin's dismissal
Prof. Austin has been with the school
the past three years.
A report was out yesterday that a
personal encounter had taken place,
but this was later denied. 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that words had pass
ed between Profs. Burleson and Aus
tin.

Stem or the Moving Train.

ity to board and leave trains which are
in motion at the Paris exposition of

by a French civil engineer. The idea
was suggested by the moving sidewalk
Of the worlds fair. The outer circum-
ference of a circular platform is to
travel at the same rates as the passing
train. There will be no danger upon
entering the platform from a staircase
In the center, where the speed is com.
paratively low. In advancing toward
the edge the increase is gradual and
anticipated. The station attendant
overlooks the entire platform from a
tower In the center. and should there
be a heavy crowd he causes the train,
by means of switches, to run around
the station, allowing ample time to dis,
charge and take on all passengers. l.
Is proposed to work trains and plat
forms at a speed of seven and one-hal1

me of the Cadis in the Arabian Nights.
He had imported an English coachman
and groom. and these did not agree
with the Moslem servants. who COM
planned that the Englishmen cursed
their religion. In what language did
they curse?' In Arabic How
long have they been here?' six
months" Have they had lessons in
Arabic?" "No." Then they learned
the phrase from you. will tell them
to curse you in English" But we
don't want to be cursed at ALL" ''Then
why do you curse them?" And so,
having extracted a promise from each
party to abstain from curses, he dis
missed them.

Mr.. President, the first creditor of every
people is the plow, and upon the burrows
which 1t turns reposes the great mass of ma
tiOnal wealth. After fully and amply sup
plying the home market, of which so much
is heard in these days. the plow supplied
agricultural exports for the fiscal year Of
1S9G to the enormous amount of 1863, SI9. 297.
or 6o.2 per cent. of all the export trade of
the country. What became Of that vast
sum-the product of the plow? 1t was not
given away. 1t bought in foreign lands
what the plOw needed at home, and the
the greater were the profits of the plow.
But this protection bill is to change all
that, and teach the plow the unlearnable
lesson that higher-priced home made articles
are cheaper than lowerpriced imported
goods. The plow is not so dull scholar as
protectionsts suppose; it may be fooled some
times, but experience teaches that the royal
road to comfort and sutciency lies not
along the pathway of protection.
1t is matter of financial impossibiity TO
give relief and encouragement to the plow
by increasing the taxes on articles of neces-
sary consumption to farmers As for the
building up Of home market. it is not only
a twice-told tale, but an old. old song sung
for political effect ever since the enactment
of the bill of denominations in 1928. But
not all the tariffs that have been enacted
will bring this country any nearer to an
adequate home market for the consumption
at remunerative prices of our vast agricul-
tura products than the country was in 1896
The fact that last year. with over "a. .OOO,-
600 of people as the home market. our farm
ers were compelled 10 send to foreign coun-
tries So10,OOO.000 of the products of the
plow demonstrates the inability of this
country to consume the immense volume of
the products of its agriculture. That great
creditor, the plow, must seek the markets of
the world. No ''pent-up Utica will do for
bis products. The ''boundless continents
are required for Americas products. But
Mr.. President. every duty levied for protec-
tion upon foreign product is an impedi-
ment cast into the furrow of the American
plow.

western gateway Of the HOosier State,
The Industrial and agricultural resources
OF Indiana will be linked with the ship
ping trade Of the lakes Incidentally
some people believe that it will eventu-
ally divert considerable traffic from Chi
cago.
1t is intended to deepen Wolf river,
Wolf lake, Lake George and the Calumet
river, and connect them by a system of
canals. The route agreed upon is from
Lake Michigan south and west via the
Wolf river one mile to Wolf lake, which is
two miles in length, thence south and east
one mile to Lake George. the length of
which is one and one-half miles, thence
In an eastern direction two miles to
point east of East Chicago. A canal from
this point south to the Calumet completes
the proposed route. The total length
would be seven and one-half miles. The
right of way has been secured, surveys
made and plats recorded. Swinging
bridges will be built, except at the mouth
Of Wolf lake. The width of the canal at
the entrance to Lake Michigan will be
GOO feet
This route gives the advantage of two
natural land-locked basins. Wolf lake
is 1000 feet wide at the center line. Its
present depth is from three to seven feet.
The projectors of the work say that
shippers paradise will be completed with
in two years, with a total dockage of six
teen miles and superior transportation
facilities.
