TO the Editor Of The Eagle:

Dear Slr-I have noticed frequently
In your column articles showing the
public spirit ana enterprise of the great
railroads, the packers and other cor
pOrations. Let me call your attention
to an instance which goes to Illustrate
the fact that public spirit is not con.
fined altogether to corporations, but
may be found In individuals once In u
while. The other day Mr.. Stanley Me-
COrmick, presumably member of the
famous Chicago family whose splendid
business enterprise has made this city
famous all over the world, walked into
the Office of the County Assessor
and announced that his assessment
was away below what 1t should be.
The result of his showing was
that his personal property ASSESS
ment was nearly doubled, being
increased by, l think, something like
500, 900. How Is that for public spirit?
And yet presume Mr.. Mccormick IL

taxes and future increases In order that

To the Editor.

To the Editor.
sir-I have been wondering why 1t Is
no paper has as yet raised a voice IN
behalf of Hon. Peter KiOlbassa, nj
present Building Commissioners, and
also Democratic candidate for Treas
urer. Just now he Is being tiercely at'
tackled, Investigated and criticised be-
cause of alleged failures to carry out
the provisions of the building ordi-
nance.
Now, l ask who is to blame for this :
Is it Kiolbassa?
! say no. 1t Is HarrlsOnism. 1t Is
the system of municipal government
which, under cover of an absurd Civil
Service law, manages to slip ward
heelers ana precinct pluggers into i'm
portant positions in the city. employ,
without the slightest regard for their
fitness, and only with n view to re-
warding them for past political sery-
ices.
KiOlbassa is not responsible for the
incompetent subordinates with whom
he has to deal, but the city admins
tration and HarrisOn's Civil Service
system is. Why not be honest In this
matter and place the blame where it
belongs?
Mayor Harrison has said that pol
tiles" is responsible for this. That Is
true, but not the kind of politics that
he would have us believe. The politics
responsible for the revelations of the
Woodruff horror investigation Is the
brand of politics which makes a plant

Health in the Tropics.

One of the greatest discoveries of mod
ern times is the proof that the unhealth-
fulness of many tropical countries is not
due to some mysterious poison in the air
attacking strangers from Northern eli
mates with special virulence, but to the
parasite of a mosquito. The air which
blows over the warmer and most fruitful
parts of the earth is as pure as that of
any other portion Of the world. Our
fight with malarial diseases is half won
now that we know what causes them.
It is not miasma rising from wet low
lands and swamps, but the MOSQUITO
which breeds in them that spreads dis
ease. We know today the enemy that is
to be fought and conquered. We know,
as has been proved both in Africa and
Oh Long Island, that the MOSQUITO does
not travel far from his breeding place
and that in many regions it will not be
very difficult to exterminate him,
The investigation of other tropical dis
eases is now proceeding OH lines suggest
ed by the discovery of the parasite of
malaria; yellow fever has already yielded
to these researches. 1t is reasonable to
expect that effective methods of combat
ing these diseases will reward the inves-
legations now being carried on in accord
ance with the most recent methods of in
vestigation.- York Sun.

DAMAGED BY SEA WATER.
The Rapid Corrosion of Steel Rails in the
Tropics Near the Sea.

Mr.. Bricks. one Of the engineers in
charge Of the railroads owned by the
French government, recently read paper
IN which he said that sea water, particu-
larly in tropical countries, has very de-
structive influence Oh steel rails. A few
weeks ago the same observation was
made by DR.. Delprat, the engineer in
charge Of the Dutch railroads in SUI
matra.
This gentleman says that the short rail-
road at Port Emma, one OF coast Of Su-
matra, which has been in operation for
ten years and which occupies a position
only little above mean high tide. has
been greatly damaged by sea water, the
rails having been largely eaten away by
rust. The rails on one of the short
branches of this road, which runs over a
breakwater. have been diminished in
weight about two and half pounds for
every three and half feet the entire
length Of the rails. He says that every
year these rails are losing about per
cent. of the weight of new rails. The
width Of the rail surface has been dimin-
ished about one inch.
The engineer urges that for all rail-
roads and street car routes occupying a
position near the sea in the tropics rails
Of unusual width of surface should be
employed. He says that any one who
may discover method of protecting steel
rails from the corrosive action OF salt
water will make a fortune.-New York

Single Beds for Real Rest,

If single beds were more numerous
than they are great many people would
be better off. When one is tired, sick,
cross, restless, out of sorts, he or she
ought to sleep alone and not commune
cate by proximity the maladies that af-
feet him., The brute creatures when sick
go away by themselves till they die or
get over their troubles, and this instinct
a great many human beings have. Those
that have it are best if INDUCED in it
not to the slightest degree of neglect,
however. Where two children in fam
lily must share the same room, in a great
many cases they would be better off to
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed We can share a great
many things with those we love, but
solitude clings to us from birth to death.
We come into the world alone, we must
go out of it alone, and we live in it alone,
in a certain important sense, and to get
and keep our bearings" we must some
times be left alone. 1t is good that we
should be.-Family Doctor.

In Bed Three Months.

Oolitic, Ind, Sept. 15th.-Mr. W. A.
Terry, of this place, suffered for
months with very severe case of Kid
ney Trouble.
He was SO very bad that he was
almost confined to his bed for three
months.
He tried many medicines, but he
could not get any relief till he COM
menced to use remedy introduced
here some time ago as cure for Kid
ney Trouble. the name of which is
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice very marked i'm
provement in his condition, and in 8
short time he was able to go about
again.
He is naturally filled with gratitude
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the i'm
mense amount Of good they have done
him and says:
Il would recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills to every sufferer from kidney or
bladder trouble, for from my expert
ence am sure they are the best medi-
cine to be had for all diseases of this
nature"

A Mirror for Theaters.

The little theatrical mirror just in
vented will call down blessings on her
head from all thcatergoers. masculine as
we'll as feminine. if it is placed, as it
should be, on the backs Of all the theater
seats in the country. It will not only
assist in the proper adjustment of the
ladies' hats after the play is over, but
will also allow persons to take a survey
Of the house behind them, doing away
with the stretching of the neck now
necessary to see who are present and
what they are wearing. The mirror IS
secured to the back of the seat by means
of a curved arm, which folds against the
chair back when not in use. The glass
is secured to the outer end of the arm
by a double joint, allowing it to swing
horizontally and tilt in vertical plane,
thus placing the mirror at any desired
angle, giving the desired rear view. If
one does not wish to use the glass it can
be used as a support for the hat.-Ro-
chester Union and Advertiser.
