FIRE ESCAPES NEEDED.

One of the most important lessons
to be learned from the fire which de-
stroyed large hotel in Marshalltown
yesterday is that of providing proper
fire escapes for buildings of this char
acter, The fremont was without ade-
quate facilities of this kind, despite
the fact that the city ordinances re-
quire them on structures of it's size
and character. Several persons We're
seriously injured in getting out of this
seething caldron of fire. Buildings may
burn and their ashes will repose in
peace; losses may be recouped; but
the pains and sorrows of those who
are manned often go on thru a long
life. They entail greater infection
than loss of property.
Not only should this warning be
impressed upon the officials and citi-
zens of this city, but also upon those
of every town and city in the state.
A representative of the Times Repub-
lican who travels much says the hotels
of Iowa are lamentably deficient in
this respect. They are jeopardizing
the lives of guests every day and night
they are without requisite fire escapes,
1t is not only menace to human life,
but it is in the nature of a crime
against innocent and trusting guests.
The statutes of Iowa authorize every
town and city of the state to provide
ordinances for fire escapes. Some of
them already have such ordinances. as
in the case of Marshalltown, and it
ought to be and is the duty of public
officials to see that they are enforced
everywhere. Such officials can not
justly escape the censure that will be
melted out either to owners of buildings
or to cities that are lax on this sub
ject, for primarily it is the duty of
officials to see that ordinances and
laws are put into practical operation.

AN ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE.

broadway" Rouss, the blind mil
lionaire," whose death was recently an
nounced in press dispatches from New
York city, was one of the peculiar fig
ures In American business life. His
business success was a marvel to his
confreres and competitors alike. He
was eccentric to the limit that defines
common sense from "crankiness." His
manner was brusque. He was parsi-
nonious and unkind to his employees,
and his scale of wages the lowest of
any wholesale house in the city. He
slept in his store on an old iron bed
stead and wore s12 suit. No total abb
stainer from liquor was given a situa-
ton in his store. He went bail to the
amount of $4,000 for the notorious
forger, Erastus Winan, as matter of
personal friendship. When his clerks

Recent New York Farm Sales.


Farms, and good ones, too, have been
selling very cheap this winter, says the
Warwick IN. V Advertiser. Recently
three changed hands at prices that
would only cover the cost of new build
ings, so that the land has been actual
ly thrown in. The Benedict farm, Stone
Bridge, 10 acres, brought $4,000; the
Hoyt farm, New Milford, 100 acres,
$4,000; the Nanny farm, near Amity,
200 acres, $3.50. Other sales have been
the David Kidd farm, near Walden, les
acres, $3.50; the Benjamin farm, Ill
acres near Unionvlle. $4,000; the John
Jones farm. Wallis Gate, 120 acres,
about $4,000; the George Gordon farm,
Roseton. 1o3 acres, $5.425; the Manning
farm. Johnsonss 911s acres, $4,000; the
Bertholf farm, 145 acres, $3,40O; the T.
w. Weed farm. Little Britain, 40 acres,
s2.s35. The DR.. Carpenter farm, near
Monroe, 1913 acres. $4,000, seems to be
the only high priced one.

A NAME FOR INDIAN TERRITORY.
kansas City Start

The choice of the name of Jefferson
for Indian territory by the house com
mittee is evidence of the nations desire
to honor great men. Yet many persons
will consider it unfortunate that the
preston 1t is appropriate that the
name of state should have local sig
nificance, that it should be beautiful
and distinctive.
Most of the states west of the At
lantic coast have found all these quail
ties in Indian names. They are must
cal, unique and bound up with local
tradition. When the northwest terri
tory was organized 1t was proposed to
give the divisions names which should
show the countrys culture. There was
to be an Assenipia; Metropotamia was
to extend along Lake Erie; Poylpota-
mia was to lie below this, while Pelsip-
la was to be further south. Fortunately
the country was saved from this no.
menclature and such distinctive and
musical names as Ohio. Wisconsin,.
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota
We're given to the new territories.
Americans hear these so frequently
that they do not appreciate their APP
propriateness and beauty.
The Indian territory abounds in beau
tiful names associated with its history
and distinctive of the region. Table
quah," for instance, would fill every
historical and euphonistic requirement..
Unfortunately congress may allow the
name Jefferson" to go by default thru
fear that any opposition to it will be
attributed to lack of regard for the
great patriot and philosopher who bore
it, The name has already been COM
memorated in the capital of the fifth
state in the union. The memory Of the
author of the declaration of indapen-
dence may be appropriately honored
further by monuments and organiza-
tions But it would be pity if the ac-
ceptable and appropriate system of no.
of the west should be de-
parted from in the case of the Indian
territory.

Little Drops of Water.

One of the Chinese modes of punish
ment, especially when it is desired to
eXtort a confession from a criminal, is
to place him where a drop of water will
fall on one certain spot of his shaver
crown for hours. Some measure of the
torture thus inflicted was once expert
enced by Sandow, the Strong man."
says the Worlds Events.
When Sandow was in Vienna a few
years ago schoolmaster made a wager
with him that he would not be able to
let half-liter of water drop on his
hand until the measure was exhausted.
SandoW laughed at the idea.
The measure was procured and hole
drilled in the bottom sufficient to let
the water escape drop by drop. The
experiment began. Sandow chatted
gaily at first The schoolmaster stood
by and counted the drops as they fell.
AT the two hundredth Sandow became
less jovial, then ne became sober, and
an expression of pain crossed his face.
AT the three hundredth his hand began
to swell and grow red. The pain in
creased and at length became excruci-
ating. Then the skin burst FINALLY at
the four hundredth and twentieth drop
SandoW acknowledged his defeat.

Whistling for Health.
[Cincinnatf Enquirer.l


Whistling as a health exercise is now
advocated by German and Swedish pro-
fessors of physical training. They say
that great benefit results from a con-
scienticus practice of the simple art.
But they require systematic and con-
slant effort on the part of the benefi-
ciary. Drill schools have been formed
where one of the chief exercises con-
sists in lying fiat, back downward on a
table and simply breathing and expell-
ing aid from the lungs with regularity
and vigor Dumbells and Indian clubs
have been discarded by the advanced
health culturists in those institutions.
AS method of prolonging life and
strengthening the human frame against
sickness whistling is said to be beyond
compare. Development of chest and
neck muscles is one of the special adj
vantages claimed for the exercise Long,
deep breathing is an essential for a
good whistler, as it is not permissible
to draw in the breath except during the
intervals of the sound production. Be-
sides the good that accrues to the per-
formers general health there Is an adj
vantage in knowing how to whistle
well. 1t is recognized as certain form
of musical art, and as such is capable of
giving pleasure to the listener.

We're found to have Systematically rob-
bed him of small fortune he said they
We're smart fellows and refused to pros
ecute. He offered million to any ply
hunted up and hired man afflicted
similarly to himself who became the
subject of innumerable experiments in
the hope that some method of treat
ment might be discovered whereby the
millionaire might regain his sight. His
eccentricities have been matter for
street talk and newspaper mention
turnout his entire business career.
Despite all this, he was successful.
The foundation of a great business is
absolute integrity between the seller
and his customer Rouss had this.
More than that he met his own obliga-
tons with scrupulous exactness. On
the occasion of his failure he settled
with his creditors at As cents on the
dollar. He afterward sought each one
out and paid the other 55 cents. His
business ramified into every nook and
corner of the country east of the Mis-
souri,, and 1t is said that Rouss person
ally overlooked the credit of every Gus
toner. He supervised every order from
the smaller cities, and especially from
minor customers. He knew precisely
what class of goods would sell in GER
tain sections. An Iowa merchant, who
conducts a racket store In a southern
Iowa town, attributes his success to
Rouss' supervision. HE never sent me
anything that would not SELL said the
merchant referred to. He often re-
fused to ship articles ordered because
he considered them unsuitable for my
trade, and he offered to double my
credit if followed his advice"
Rouss' business career is an object
lesson. He went to New York with
capital of s1.S0. He built up fortune
estimated anywhere from $4,000 900 to
s20,000,000. Hanging in the most con-
spicuous part of his store was large
card, bearing in Rouss' peculiar pho
netics the following inscription: He
who bilt, owns and occupies this marvel
of brik. irun and grant, IS years ago
walkt the STREETS of New York pennies
and $4,000 in Diet; only to prove that
the capitalists of today were poor men
20 years ago, and that many felo fac
ing poverty today may be a capitalist
