The small pox is dying out in the
state and there is now an oppor-

to call it small pox and neglected to
quarantine their patients to live
down the unsavory regulations they
made among the communities in which
they practiced. They will probably
profit by the old maxim next time

The report of the insurance com,
missioner for this state is out fol
this year and is very gratifying to
people of the state for it shows that
the outside companies of the state
have done a good business in the
state and the people have been pro-
tected against fire for the past year
to a greater extent than ever before
and the report shows, S2S,944,734
of fire risks written or renewed the
past year, which rs an insurance of a
little over a million dollars oyer the
business OF 1890. The premiums
received amounted to S460,153, as
against S444,125 for 1900. The
losses paid were. far in excess of
those of 1900, being a total of Sab,
4S4 which left a very small margin
of profit for the years work. In
fact after paying expenses of oper-
alton, the foreign fire companies are
a long way behind, The above will
give the lie to the statement that the
insurance companies always get a
good deal more money from a state
than they leave in it.

IMPROVEMENTS ALONG
THE FOURTH DIVISION

Some time ago the B. & o. issued
an order to extend the side tracks
along the fourth division, and now
this order is being put into effect. The
regular track force has been working
on the extension for some time, but
nov the force has been greatly in
creased and the work is being pushed
rapidly.
1t is reported upon good authority
that a double track will be laid be-
tween Grafton mad Glover's Gap, a dis
lance of 4S miles. Large extensions
are being made at these points by a
large force of men. At all informed
late points the side tracks are being
extended and there will be left but
little space to connect. Between Dixon
and Valley Falls, a distance of s miles,
the force Of men are at work grading
for a double track, while at Manning
ton a long side track is being run
east. At Colfax a force of 200 men are
at work grading. Should the branch
be built from Littleton down Fish
creek to the river and thence to
GAINESVILLE, a double track between
Littleton and Grafton would be neces-
sary.

Merit System for b. & o.

The higher officials of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad have sent out a state
ment from Baltimore that hereafter
all promotions of men will be strictly
upon merit. In so far as it is possible
the civil service idea will prevail, the
oldest man being given the next posi-
ton above him in case of a vacancy.
If he is not capable of filling the post
the next highest man will be taken.
The road does not intend to cripple
its system by adhering blindly to the
civil service idea, but where the can
didate is capable he will take his turn
at promotions. This is considered a
safe wedding process.-Pittsburg Post.

The Weed Question

Weeds are never OF much concern to
the energetic farmer. He takes them
as a matter Of course. He knows they
cannot stand the cultivation that his
hoed crops require, and are rendered
impotent by Tell-managed rotation.
Men are constantly trying to and some
easy way Of getting rid Of weeds
About every chemical that can be pur-
chased will kill weeds, but the cost Of
the chemicals and the labor Of apply
ing make the problem a big one. In
some cases we have known salt boun-
tifully sown along the roadways to XIII
weeds. The work was apparently ac-
complished, but proved to give only a
temporary advantage. The rains di-
luted the salt and the land again be-
came open to the reception OF weed
seeds.
In England and in France expert
ments have been carried forward to as
certain the effect of spraying weeds
with certain chemicals, notably sui
phate of iron solutions The results
have been what might have been ex-
peeted-partial success and partial
failure. If we could find some inex-
pensiye method by which to annihilate
all weeds it would not be to the adj
vantage Of the farmer. The weed il
the thing that tends to make immense
farms improbable and tends to en-
courage what we call small farming.
The many small farms are of more
benefit to the nation than are the few
large ones Abolish weeds and il
would be easy for the great eombina-
tons OF capital to get control OF al
the farm lands The army Of weeds 1:
a bulwark against such an invasion
Intensive farming destroys weeds.

TAYLOR A WONDER.

The king of all short-distance BIZ
cycle riders is that dusky wonder on
wheels, Major" Taylor. He has beat
en- all the cracks on this side of the
water from Tom Cooper down and
there is no one on the other side Of
the ditch" who is in the same class
with him excepting Jacquelin, the
French crack. Back in 1887 the ina
jor'' was a man-of-all-work for Tom
Eek, Bliss and other cycling men. He
learned to ride and in 1890 went in his
first race, 75-mile road contest, which
he won with four-minute handicap.
From that time on he did pretty well
as an amateur racer. In 1896 he won
his first great victory over Eddie
Cannon" Bald in Madison Square
Garden, New York. The same night
be started in a six-day race, finishing
fifth. Teddy Hale, the Irishman, won
this grind" The following year Tay-
lor vanquished Bald, Earl, Kiser and
other cracks at Waltham, Mass. He
fell victim to Eddie McDuffee in 1898
at middle distance, but vanquished Jay
Eaton in mile heats the following day.
At the L. A. W. championship contests
at Philadelphia in August of that year
he won the quarter. half and one mile
championships in one afternoon.
