LAND SLIPPING AWAY.
Entire Blun sliding Into the Missouri
River.


A mile south of Atchison, Kansas,
the entire side of IA bluff is sliding into
the Missouri river. The avalanche is
a quarter of n mile long, and at its
base is the most expensive piece of rail-
road track on the Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN. There is probably not another
quarter of a mile of track in the Unit
ed States which it costs mere to main
tain. The odd thing about this monster
landslide is that it has been slipping
down for twenty years, and unless 1t
takes an unexpected plunge will prob
ably be slipping for the next twenty
years, and possibly fifty or hundred.
The avalanche is moving more or less
all the time. but not enough to require
watching by the Missouri Pacific ex-
cept about two months in the spring.
During the winter the moisture Is
held in the ground, and when the frost
thaws and the spring rains come the
great mass of earth begins slipping.
Sometimes it comes down loot IN
twenty-four hours, and once in awhile
it slides six feet. The Missouri Ia
cific then puts force of from twenty
to fifty men at work pulling the track
back to its proper place and keeping it
level. A man is employed to watch the
track at night and see that it does not
get so far out of line as to topple n
train over into the river. Orders are is
sued to engineers to go slow over the
bad track, for the jar of n train might
cause an unprecedented move. The
current of the Missouri is always very
swift in the spring, and it wears away
the earth as it slides in, and it appears
n few miles below in the form of an is
land
1t costs the Missouri Pacific several
thousand dollars and causes n great
deal of anxiety every spring, but there
is no way of avoiding ii.

Criminal Result. of Year In France.

Criminal Results of Year in France
The French Ministry of Justice, in
publishing the annual report on the
criminal results of the year-a report
which is always two years behind time
states that in 1897 offences against
the person were less numerous than
had been the case for several years, the
total being 1913, as against 1850 in
1896, 1902 in 1895, 1851 in 1894 and
1,549 in 1898. Offences against power
ty had, upon the contrary, increased
very considerably from 1924 in 1895
to / ,977 in 1896, and 2,0S7 in 1897, this
latter being higher figure than had
been reached for twenty years. Out
of the 3,453 persons tried for criminal
offences only $50 were women, and the
number of accused persons under 16
were only twenty-three (seventeen
boys and six girls) while those be-
tween sixteen and twenty-one were
479 males and forty-siX females The
number of persons prosecuted for
petty offences had decreased from 206,-
324 to 10000 in four years. The num-
ber of suicides showed an increase,
reaching 1856, including 2.137 women
and 615 persons under age, but there
was a slight decrease in the number of
deaths by accident, which for some
reason are included in this return.

Joplin is having reign of terror.
People are held up aud robbed
every night. The police force is
not big enough. The hOldups are
all made by Negro highwaymen
and Marshal McMsmy says he pro-
poses to rid Joplin of the tough Ne.
gro element. As an evidence of
good faith he arrested forty of
them Sunday and many of them
are leaving. He would have ar
rested more, but the Jail wouldn't
hold 'em.
