Harrel and Bucket system.

Kansas City. Mo-, May 1.-THE Kan
sas Underwriters association. which
began session here Tuesday, adj
journed yesterday. Before leaving the

all field men and special agents use
their utmost endeavors to establish
what is known as the barrel
and bucket" system in towns of

barrel and bucket system consists of
a barrel of water in front of each bust
ness house. containing one peek of salt
to every 40 gallons Of water, sealed so
they can readily be rolled to the place
of conflagration; the top is broken in
and buckets dipped into the barrel.
No less than three towns in Oklahoma

this system.

GENERAL ADVANCE BEGUN.

Troops of Lawton and Macarthur Are
Pushing Northward.
A special from Washington says that
a general advance along the American
lines in Luzon has been begun, and War
Department officials expect. reports OF
some heavy fighting soon. Official dis
patches received and not made public
show that both Gen. Lawton and Gen.
Macarthur are moving northward with
their forces, the purpose being to get con-
troll of the railroad and the important
towns as far north as possible. Eventu-
ally it is intended to send an expedition
by water to Lingayen, near the northern
terminus Of the railway, SO as to flank the
enemy This expedition, however, will
not start until additional troops have ar
rived. Meanwhile the divisions under
both Lawton and Macarthur will push to
the north as far as they can.
According to statements made at the
War Department this advance is to be
made permanent. There are to be no
more towns taken and then abandoned.
With the additional troops which have
arrived during the rainy season, and 9th
ers to follow, Gen. Corbin says there
will be sufficient number of troops avail
able to garrison towns as fast as they
are taken, and still leave formidable
force for continuing the onward move
ment.
Gen. Schwan's column occupied San
Francisco de Malabon Tuesday without
encountering any opposition. In the adj

with small bodies of insurgents, who,
however, quickly fell back. The activity

received a quietus in the sharp fighting

Makes Haul at Fond du Lac-x-Ray
az Evidence in Court.

At the meeting Of the Kenosha City
Council movement was started for the
erection of a new poorhouse. If the
movement succeeds, and it appears that
it will, the city will have home for the
poor which will be different from any 9TH
er in the State. At the present time the
city has total of seventeen families en-
tirely dependent on the city and the plan
is to build house big enough to provide
a home for all these people. The poor
house now used in the city has been de-
clared the worst in the State by the State
inspector. For the carrying out Of the
plans the city is asked to appropriate the
sum of $4,000. It is claimed that this
amount can be saved in three years by
the cutting off Of the big rent costs
against the city.

Powerful Foreign Compan to Compete
with American Exporters.
A powerful company composed OF
French, German and Russian capitalists,
with a capital Of over $50,OOO,OOO, has
been formed for the purpose of competing
with the American pork exporters in Eu-
rope, particularly in England, Germany
and Scandinavia.
The plan is to raise hobgs on large
scale in Siberia. 1t is claimed that this
can be done cheaper than in the United
States. The hogs will be shipped alive
over the Siberian Railroad to the north
western frontiers of Russia, where i'm
mense slaughter houses, on the Amerl-
can plan, will be established. Thence
the pork will be sent by water to English
ports and by rail to Germany and Scan
dinavia. In spite of the enormous dis
tance. it is asserted that such Siberian
pork can be brought to Europe cheaper
than American pork. This, it is pointed
