The Union window Glass company, COM
posed of Chicago capitalists and jobbers,
now operating Il plant here will take the

OF course it sounds amusing to US TO
read the statement that 1.-The reservoir

for one or two factories for several
years" But we can easily excuse
this conservatism in view of the main
fact, provided it to be a fact. The

SKOKIE MARSH AFIRE.
Reflection of the Flames Causes
Chicago Citizens to Think
the City in Flames.

Chicago Dec. 6.-The largest fire that
ever devastated the ''Sko6ie'' barsh start
ed yesterday afternoon and the heavy wind
made the swamp for several miles a mass
of roaring flames. Many telephone calls
were received in Chicago last night from
people in various suburbs, who seeing the
reflection feared the city was afire- The
dry grass of the swamp burns like finder
and the bed of bog has been known to
shoulder for weeks There is no possible
way of quelling the flames, which will be
allowed to run their course
The ''Skokie'' is great swamp which
lies between KenilwOrth and Waukegan-
1t is shaped like dipper, with the bowl
lying to the south. Near this bowl are
the Glen View golf links. and at Lake Ror-
est on the eastern border of the swamp,
lie the SkOkie golf links. Along both bOr-
ders are grain fields and truck farms
These the fire may wipe out, and members
loss will amount to somewhere near So

records of north shore suburban towns for

a murder is suspected and the victim is
been rewarded by the solution of the mys-

The swamp is the resort of numbers of
tramps, and it is thought the fire was

south of Glencoe and spread rapidly along
the bed of the creek in both directions I'M

THE RALEIGH RECALLED.
She Will Return by Way of the Suez
Canal.

New York, Dec. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Secretary Long has cabled orders to
Rear Admiral Dewey to send the cruis-
er Raleigh to the United States No
vessel will be assigned to relieve the
Raleigh, it being the opinion of the Of
ficials that, with the addition of the
battleships and the gunboat Yorktown,
Rear Admiral Dewey will have an am
pie force at his disposal.
This order is significant as indicating
the belief of the authorities that there
is now no danger of trouble with Ger
many over the Philippines.
On account of the Raleigh's small
steaming radius it will be impossible
for her to cross the Pacific and she will
return to the United States via the
Mediterranean, probably arriving at
New York some time during February.
She will pass the gunboat Helena which
is now at Gibraltar, on her way to the
Philippines.
Secretary Long, at the suggestion of
Senator Hale, has submitted a bill ap-
prOpriating $4,000 for the erection of a
monument and fence at Colon ceme-
terry, Havana, where the dead of the
Maine are buried. Congress authorized
last March the transfer of the bodies
to the Arlington cemetery, but the out
break of the war prevented action and
as Cuba will be free and may become
a part of the United States, the author
tiles do not see that there is any neces-
sity for transfer.

A GOVERNMENT RAILWAY.
Its Construction Has Already Been
Commenced in Cube

New York. Dec. 6.-The Herald says:
The United States government is about
to construct a wharf and railway in
Cuba, the former to be located at
TriscOrnia, a village of 500 Inhabitants
on the shore of the harbOr of Havana,
and the latter to run to the military
camp at Regla, connecting with the
MatanZa's branch of the United rail-
ways in Cuba. The line will be seven
miles long
These enterprises, while undertaken
by the government because of the mill
tary advantages to be gained thereby,
Will be of immense advantage to the
mercantile interests of the island. There
has hitherto been no wharf in the
neighborhoOd of Havana except in the
city itself, where steamships could dis
charge or load cargoes.
The proposed government wharf will
be between 300 and 400 feet in length,
insuring 30 feet of water, sufficient wa
ter for large steamers 1t will be con-
structed of timber subjected to a treat
ment with creOsOte and will thus be
ena bled to resist the raVageS of the
teredO worm. Numerous sheds and
warehouses will also be erected but no
arrangements looking to their COnStruc-
ton have yet been entered upon.
The railroad will be constructed ac-
cOrding to Pennsylvania railroad speci-
ficatiOns. Leaving Triscornia and turn
ing eastward toward MatanZaS, it will
keep close to the shore and later strike
into the country. The road near Ha-
Vana will be double tracked with a sin
gle track toward the eastern emo 1t is
expected ultimately to carry the dOu-
BILE track system throughout the entire
line. The government gave publicity to
its plans November 20, and received bids
for the work on December 1. The con-
tract was let the same day to the
American Indies company. by Colonel
Frank Hecker, quartermaster and chief
of the division of transportation, who
represented the government.
Work on the wharf has not yet Been
begun as all the material must be OBJ
tanned in this country. The lumber
will be purchased in the south and ship
ped to Havana. The railway has been
surveyed and construction work has
been started The country through
which the line is to pass is rolling and
rocky, necessitating considerable blast
ing. Several hundred men will be sent
to Cuba by the company within the
next few days.
All the railway lines in Cuba are con-
trOlled and were built by English capt.
tai and English engineers. The rolling
stock is mainly English, although there
are a few American passenger and
freight cars.
No definite time has been set by the
government for the completion of the
railway and wharf as the formal con-
tract has not been drawn up. 1t is I'M
derstood that both works are to be
pushed through in the shortest possible
time.

SAYS IT DOESN'T PAY.
DR.. Callahan, Now That He Has the
Office, Finds 1t No Pudding.

DR.. A. NJ. Callahan, district c1erk-elect.
has written q long letter to the board of
county commissioners, complaining because
he says he has discovered that the office
to which he has been elected is not prof
liable one. This will occasion some sur
prise, because it has been supposed that
the office of clerk of the district court was
one of the best in the county. The new
fee and salary law has made the office
less profitable, but no one supposed that
the reduction was as serious as indicated
in DR.. Callaham's statement.
DR.. Callahan says that when he has
paid the necessary clerk hire he will have
very little if anything left for himself, and
he thinks that a bill should be passed by
the legislature giving him a better COM
pensation.
The letter was written because the coun-
ty board is considering recommendations
TO the legislature DR.. Callahan and
County Treasurer Phillips are the only
men who have complained about their al
lowances and Mr.. Phillips only wants a
Larger aIlowan &c # for clerk hire He thinks

been put to great deal of expense in car
ing for insane who should have been
