SEWAGE DISPOSAL SUCCESS.
First Plant in State at State College
Gives Entire Satisfaction,

Ames, Ia, March 12.-rhe civil en-
gineering department of the Iowa State
college has for five years been investi-
eating and experimenting with sew
age publication, and the result has
been perfect success. The first plant
in the state was designed by Professor
Marston, and built by the college in
1898. Since that time 1T has continu-
ouslv purified an amount of sewage
equal to that of the average town of
1900 population. The etfluent is as
clear, sparkling and odorless as the
purest spring water. Chemical and
bacterial tests show it to be pllrer than
some Well water which is used for
drinking purposes.
The plant consists of a brick septic
tank and of two filters of sand and
gravel about four feet in depth. After
passing through the tank the sewage Is
discharged on top OF the filters. Tile
drains underneath the filters remove
the purified effuent. The plant cost
only $1,000 for construction 1t costs
about $3.50 annually to maintain it,
The filters last indefinitely. with some
care In the way of loosening up the
surface with hoes or iron rakes The
plant is successfully operated in the
winter as We'll as in the summer. 1t
plrifies from 10000 TO 10000 gallons of
sewage per day. Experiments i'm the
purifying of creamery sewage are now
being begun on account of many re-
quests received from the creameries of
the Gtate.

Webster City, Ia, March n.-Eli
Murphy, an employee at the new Mercy
hospital building. now nearing compile
ton in this city, crawled into the hos
pital furnace while drunk yesterday to
get warm and narrowly escaped with
his life.
AT the close Of the days work yes
terday Murphy filled up on liquor, and
instead of returning to his roomlng
place, he went bacgs TO the hospital to
sleep. The rooms were chilly and
Murphy was cold. Looking about in
drunken stupor for u warm place he
came to the furnace. He opened the
door of the fire box and crawled in. The
tire had died down and Murphy lay on
the smoldering ashes some time before
he was badly enough burned TO realize
that his position was dangerous. He
succeeded in making his exit and WAS
found late in the evening by his COM
panions who happened TO go to the
basement To fix the fire for the night.
He was lying in corner covered from
head TO foot With ashes and with his
clothing mostly burned off him. The
whole of one side is badly burned. but

NATIVE RULERS IN INDIA.

A Country More Subdivided Than
Eighteenth Century Germany.
Everybody's Magazines India is even
more subdivided and petty-courted than
eighteenth century Germany. Six hun
dred and eighty eight rulers under Eng
lands imperial sway; from the Nizam Of
Haiderabad, with domains as large as
France, to the chief of twenty villages.
All keeping splendor far beyond our
conventionalized courts. The Guikwar of
Baroda, the Maharajah of Kashmir, the
young kings of Mysore and Guaiior are
the most important; while Udaipur and
Jodhpore dispute which holds highest rank

of Udaipur is always represented in paint
ing with an aureole and divine honors.
These rajahs are the orchid-crowned
cases In deserts Of starving millions. But
the Indian reaches the bitterest poverty
without degradation, and the simple agri-
cultural people lead a life whose every
motion Is directed by spiritual law.

Real Estate Transfers.

Des Moines. Ia, March 12.-Re-
sponses from county auditors have
come in to the executive council in am
swer TO n request for the addresses OF
all assessors and the heads of local
equalizing boards. The council is now
prepared to take up With the local
boards the matter of fixing the valua-
tions on property this year. The action
of the council has had Il powerful moral
effect and advices show that assessors
are being moved to shove the realty as
sessment up TO something like its cor
rect valuation. 1t thus appears that the
purpose of the executive council to put
the real estate assessment at the right
figure If the assessors did not has has
so great an effect that the real estate
assessment is likely to be somewhere
near right when il reaches the council.
1t is understood that Governor Cum
minis Will take u pronounced stand IN
this matter. and that, next to him,
State Treasurer C,ilbertSon Will be most
aggressive, and that they are likely TO
bring it about that the council Will at
once get data on real estate sales in
the different counties that Will enable
them TO Judge accurately as to how as
sessments are being made. This in
formation Will enable the council to act
when 1T meets as state
