of every railroad entering Chicago will be
vaccinated between now and Monday or
lose his position. Every car which arrives
in the city from every direction will be
subjected to fumigation for six hours, un-
der the direction Of the health department
Of the city, before other passengers are al
lowed to enter 1t. These precautions have
been agreed upon at meeting of the gen.
eral managers of all the railroads entering
Chicago. The Chicago and Alton railroad
and the Illinois Central began to put them
into effect yesterday.
The other roads will begin today. All will
continue the measures until the smallpox
epidemic, which is ravaging the northwest
and the Mississippi valley states shall be
stamped out
At the meeting Of the managers the con-
dition of the plague in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas. Mis-
souri, and Illinois was declared alarming,
and it was stated that the contagion had
spread as far south as Mississippi and Ala
bama. The general managers passed reso-
lutions calling on the medical advisers Of
the road to take steps to check the dis
ease, and giving them full authority to use
whatever measures they deemed best
The surgeons Of the roads met and de-
cided upon the stringent action outlined.

MONEY FOR THE DISTRICT
A Conference to Be Held on the Sub
iect

Senator Mcmillan. chairman Of the Senate
committee on the District Of Columbia is
confined to his home on Vermont avenue
suffering from bad cold. 1t is thought it
may be several days before he can leave his
home. AS soon as he is able to go to the
Capitol a conference will be held in the
District committee room, to be attended by
senators and others interested in the finan-
ciering Of the District, In order to secure
an agreement as to the best method for
raising funds to meet the extraordinary
expenses involved in the completion of the
filtration plant, the sewerage system be-
ginning work for the reclamation of the
Anacostia flats, &c. This meeting will be
attended by Senator Allison. chairman of
the Senate committee on appropriations;
Representatives Cannon and Babcock,
chafrmen Of the committees on appropria-
tiOns and on the District Of Columbia Of
the House; Representative McCleary. chair
man of the subcommittee on the District
Of Columbia of the House appropriations
committee, and others. The most popular
plan for raising funds needed for these cx-
traordinary improvements is by an advance
from the treasury to the District of Column
bia, this money to be paid back as rapidly
as possible. In connection with this plan
the subject of taxation in the District will
be discussed, because the amount of money
that can be raised after the work of equal
iZation has been completed and the amount
to be secured from a personal tax bill,
should such bill become a law, will give
Congress basis for determining the rate
at which the proposed advance could be re-
turned by the District. The idea of bond
issue is not likely to be seriously discussed
at this meeting because of its unpopularity
among many members Of both the Senate
and House. and because the prevailing SEN
timent Of those who will attend the confer
ence Is favorable to the plan for having
the United States advance the money
needed.
It is quite well understood that any elab-
crate plan for street extension will not be
provided for under the agreement for hav-
ing temporary advance from the treasury.
Filtration sewerage disposal, the Anacostia
flats and perhaps some other matters that
may be regarded as improving the sanitary
condition Of the District will receive first
attention, and there Is strong feeling that
a municipal building should be provided at
an early day as business need of the Dis
trict of the most urgent nature. to give the
District government proper facilities for
doing it's business. At the conference to be
held the extraordinary needs to be provided
for will be agreed upon, as they must be in
order to fix the amount of the proposed ad-
vance.
The District appropriation bill is now in
the House committee on appropriations, and
it will probably be held there until the con-
ference referred to has been held.

Wild sheep depead Tor greatest pro-

Wolves. wolverines and eagles are

Wolves are capable of taking down

seldom induces them to make the

lower attitudes. There are many stories
told of the lorlly ram doing battle
with wolves. which are Oh Il par with
the story of leapinS from dizzy heights.
The old rams are cunning, and in this
lies their greatest safety. They are
perfectly at home on rocky lodges,

how many words could be written with
an English lead pencil and. being de-
termined to answer it, he bought lead
pencil and SCOTS "lvanhoe" and pro

He wrote 95,6OS words and then was

come 50 short that he could not use it.
A German statistician who heard OF
this experiment was dissatisfied with
it because all the lead in the pencil was
not used on the work. and therefore he
bought a pencil and started to copy a
long German novel. When the pencil
was so short that he could not handle
It with his fingers, he attached holder
to It, and it is said that he wrote with
this one pencil 100000 words. Posi-
