We are pleased to note the trans
formation Miss Lindsay has made in
her room in the way of mural dec
orations This helps to create a
wholesome and cheerful atmosphere
in the school room, thus augumen t.
ing the success of the school work
Through the generosity of our
school board we have, among many
new aids in our work, a new double
photograph, for the use of our teach
ers in all the grades. This secures
greater efficiency in our work,
especially in the primary depart
ments.
In the last issue of the Signal, the
fact was noted that our primary
rooms were taxed beyond their seat
ing capacity. Immediately after
this fact came to the attention of the
board, steps were taken to correct
the difficulty. Secretary Smith at
once began negotiations for the pur-
chase of more than thirty new desks
and arrangements are now complete
for the accommodation of all who
attend our schools. The plan is~-to
reseat the primary room now occu-
pied by Miss Lee. Ninety seats for
the little ones will be placed in this
room. and the 4" Batavia plan - will
be used. Miss Lee already has
seventy pupils and the excess of
about twenty of Miss Edmond's
pupils from the Main street school.
will be asked to attend the West
Building. Some of those who live
nearest the West Side building will
be transferred and will attend Miss

plan, the board have given Miss Lee

DE WINDTS LECTURE TO

In st. James hail last night Harry

Il large audience by an account of his
recent journey From Paris to New
York. Overland
1t was a story of hardship. suffer
ing, and persistently crowned with
success.
The sympathies of his hearers were
strongly excited by what he said of
Sredni-K olymsk-the most remote po-
litical settlement in Siberia. Only two
of the eXiles, he certified, are Grimm
ais; the Others are absolutely inno-
cent So great are the sufferings of
the little community from cold and
hunger that 80 per cent become in
sane, and a large proportion commit
suicide. This accursed spot, this
Arctic Inferno was the lecturers
comment, should be wiped off the
face, of civilization
After they had passed through
''the coolest place in the world, where
she temperature was rs degrees below
zero" after many of the reindeer had
died. and their provisions had run low.
they were about as well equipped for
continuing their journey as man
arrayed in silk pyiamas would he for
duck shooting at Christmas. But they
pushed on over the twelve hundred
miles of desolation.
Often they could find no drift wood,
which meant no fire. and no fire
meant no food, for their frozen pro-
visions were useless until thawed.
When a blizzard occurred the dogs
laid down and howled. One dog went
mad from cold and bit others.-Daily

NEW CORPORATIONS
BEAR CITYS NAME
Rock Island Improvement and Coal
Companies Formed in
New Jersey.

Press dispatches announce the in
corporation under the laws of the
state of New Jersey Of the Rock ISL
and Improvement company and the
Rock Island Coal company. The for
mer is capitalized at 100000 and
the latter at $1,0O0,000.
While the facts of course. are not
given out it is believed that the first
named corporation has been formed
for the purpose of building, equipping
and operating the shops that it is eX-
pected Will he established east of East
Moline. The object as set forth in
the incorporation papers is the build
ing of shops and the construction of
railway equipment.
The other corporation is believed to
have been formed for the purpose of
absorbing and handling the Rock ISL
and roads fuel supply, and if this is
true it will undoubtedly mean the
consolidation of the various mining
interests, not the least important of
which is that of the Coal Valley Min
ing company. Both the new compan-
les appear therefore to be merely
companies within the company that
controls the Rock Island system.

MAI. G. W. HALVES A MEMBER
Organization Will Hold Quarterly
Meetings at the State
Capital.

Maj. C. w. Halves, who is a
member of the board of the
Quincy Soldiers Home, returned last
night from Springfield, where he had
been called together with the trustees
and officials of state institutions
from all parts of Illinois by Gov.
Yates. Those summoned to the num-
Der of about 200 met yesterday at the
governors mansion and there the
chief executive made plain the object
of tbs call, which he had not done be-
fore. 1t was issued for the purpose
of forming those addressed into a
state officials club, the organization
to be effected for mutual advantage
and to study the affairs Of the vari-
Gus departments of the state.
The governor explained that the OBJ
ject was not the forming of political
club and that he had taken every pre-
caution to avoid the appearance of
seeking to accomplish anything of
this Sort. He said he had been imbued
with an idea that he hoped to be car
ried out at the time of his election,
but that the call for the meeting had
been purposely delayed in order that
the time might pass for such a thing

Negotiations are in progress that
probably win result in the Rock ISL
and entering into n contract with the
Southern Pacific to use the lines of
the Houston q Texas Central between
Fort Worth and Galveston. 1t is prob
able that nothing definite Will be set
tied regarding the matter for several
days. but indications are that the par
ties in interest will reach a compact.
The Rock Island is understood to be
seeking long-term lease of the right
to use the tracks of the Houston &
Texas Central either from Fort Worth
or Dallas and the terminal facilities
of the company in Galveston. If such
am agreement is not made it is posi-
bic that the Rock Island may be per-
mdtted to buy an interest in the Hous-
ton &; Texas Central. which will give
the company the right which is
sought.
Owing TO the incOmpletcd stage of
the negotiations it. was impossible
yesterday to learn from the officials
interested the exact plan under dis
cussion. 1t was stated with positive
ness, however, that the Galveston
matter is the only matter in negotia-
tion between the parties.

About Manures.

Agricultural papers and other agri-
cultural teachers used to talk and
print much about composing ma
nures, and having them "well rotted.'
Actual tests have proven that this
method is wasteful of manures, as the
process of decomposition and the re
sulting heating destroys large part
of the fertiIizing value of the com
post. The writer has had large heaps
in which all the interior was reduced
to ashes, and only a little on the out
side of any value for nitrogen. This
decomposition should take place in
the soil, and the soluble matter
leached into the soil by rains will be
retained to feed the crops. All stable
manures should be hauled out and
spread instead of being heaped up t.
undergo slow combustion. No ons
would think of burning manure to in
crease it's value, yet that is what is
done when it is left in large heaps
