THE GREAT AUTO RACE.
Graphic Description of the Paris
Madrid Contest.

Joseph Penn. the artist and writer.
has sent a graphic description OF the
first stage of the ParisMadrid auto
mobile race to the London Daily Chron-
icle from Charities. Describing the
racers coming from the top of hill,
he says:
"As the cars fell-there is no other
word for it-down the slopes and ap-
preached the narrow bridge, jumped
with bound across it and flew with q

Though on the stretch of eight kilo-
meters between Charities and the first

of the public were either nonresident
or of the most ridiculous character"
Mr.. Pennell describes the scenes at
the headquarters at Charities and
says;
Farther up the street was another
car with a huge cash in the tire OF
one wheel. the other tire down and the
whole twisted and bent, in the hands
of a dozen workmen. Walking away

MANY SNAKES AND LIZARDS
Flood Drives Hundreds of Rep
tiles Ashore in ST. Louis.

Lizards and snakes, driven to shore
in St. Louis bv the food, are atfording
much fun for the small boys. The
snakes are o: every variety that infest
that part of the country, and the liz
ards are of the greenback variety, and
grow to foot in length.
The water moccasin, black snake
and common garter snake are being
killed by the thousands. Most of
them are youngsters, and they seem
to fear the food.
Occasionally youth more daring
than his companions picks up one and
throws it back into the river. Invari-
ably il swims back TO the railroad
tracks.
On a drift near the Merchants
bridge bunch of young water snakes
were found coiled about each other
and brought to shore. When the mass
was loosened the snakes crawled for
the brush and weeds, not one OF them
heading for the river
Members of the houseboat colony at
Little Oklahl ma, which stands in
clumps of small trees, say they have
killed many snakes that have crawled
into the trees in the last few days.

A NOVEL GRIDIRON.
New Scheme Suggests Very
Radical Change in the Game
of Football.

Fred c. McCutchen, general manager
Of athletics for the University of Iowa
for several years, recently went to
Iowa City to obtain the views of the
athletic authorities upon a proposed
change of the football gridiron which
has been discussed by number of
athletic authorities in the west.
The plan is to change the form of the
present gridiron so as to have tt in the
form of a football says the Chicago
Record Herald. This would make it
about it's present width at the center
of the field and taper down gradually
to the distance between the goal posts
at the two ends of the field. The field
would probably be somewhat length
ened.
The advantage of the plan would be
that it would render the game much
more easily observable by all the spec
tators. At the center all can see the
game very we'll as the field is at pres
emf constructed, but when the game
gets down on one side it is not seen so
we'll by all the spectators. The pro-
posed gridiron takes the play when
the scrimn2ages are near either goal 10
near the center of the field where all
can see it well.
Another advantage claimed for the
change would be that there would be
less of the open field work. The touch.
downs would be made usually by line
smashes. The change would also give
the defensive team, when its goal IS
neared, a constantly lessening base to
defend. AS the offensive team ap-
preached the goal posts it would be
compelled to attack more and more IN
the center of the field, thus giving
them slight handicap as against the
weaker defensive team. In punts the
fulIback would not be compelled to de-
fend the long stretch of territory when
near his own goal which he is now
compelled to cover.
The new plan has been only tenta-
lively suggested to athletic authorl-
ties. Any Endorsement of the plan will
be withheld at Iowa until the return Of
Physical Director A. A. Knipe In
March.

der to his employees that all the tobac.
co and cigars in his big store must be

The stock was the largest carried
by any local Establishment, but the
owner would neither sell nor give it
away.
Mr.. HOLSTER avows that spirit mes
sages impelled him to destroy the stock,

cured at a religious camp meeting,
She was at the point OF death from
consumption, but arose suddenly after
local and Chicago specialists had pro-
nounced her case hopeless and walked
from the tent, and seems now to be

Since the agreement of Saturday be-
tween the Great Western and its en-
DloyeS, there have been no new de-
velopments of a decisive character in
the negotiations which have been
pending since Jan. 5. When the set
Element with the Great Western was
completed, it was announced by the
representatives of the employees that
their next effort would be with the Of
ficialS of the Northern Pacific, and
steps are now being taken to arrange
a conference between Assistant Grand
Chief Garretson, of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, and Vice Grand Mas
ter Newman. of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, on behalf of the
EMPLOYEES: and either General Manager
Cooper or General Superintendent
Kimberly, of the Northern Pacific.
Thus far no date for such conference
has been fixed, but it is expected that
the negotiations will be resumed with
in a day or two and that when they
are the settlement will be merely a
matter of agreeing upon certain de-
tailed terms.
From the first the companies have
shown a disposition to grant the raise
of wages asked by the men, and from
the example turnlShed IN the agree
nent on the part of the Great Western,
it would appear that by adopting the
terms of the double header" propo-
sition to the typographical conditions
of the individual road in question, the
views of the men and their employ
ing companies on even that point are
not incapable of reconciliation.

negotiations with the companies and
carried them forward until last week,

ganization arrived, will still remain to

assist young women and those older in
years to Withstand temptations to enter

They Scorn such a simple device to
attain their object as the making of them
selves unattractive in the eyes of the male
sex. They stipulate in their first rule
that all members must have attained
the age of seventeen, must wear long
skirts. and dress their hair in a becom-
ing manner. They also say: Members
are invited to render their appearance
as attractive as possible, but they must
be maidenly in their conduct
The rules of the order compel the men,
bers to have a wholesome contempt of
love, to abhor marriage, and to display
the society's badge at least one day a
week. Nevertheless, members are not
debarred from comforting their friend
ship upon the opposite sex, but this
friendship must be absolutely free of
sentiment and everything appertaining to

DROP NORMAL MEN.
Schaller Proposes Reorganization of
State Library Board.

A bill calling for the reorganization
of the state library board was intro
duced in the senate yesterday morning
by Senator Schaller. Under the pres
ent law the board is composed of the
state superintendent and the normal
school presidents.
The Schaller bill would substitute
one city and one county superintendent
for the normal men. The measure is
designed to put the state board in
closer touch with the country schools.
The normal presidents are dropped as
the board is in no wise connected with
the normal schools.
The new bill also provides that the
state board shall let the contract for
state library books to the lowest bid
der, and allows any school district hav-
ing over 1,200 volumes in its library to
purchase books not on the state library
list in open market from parties other
than the state contractor, and the state
aid shall apply to such purchases Just
as if the books were bought of the state
contractor.

INQUEST AGAIN WINS.
Attempt to Amend His Boiler Inspec-

The Nyquist bill to establish fifty
three boiler inspectors in the state was
considered for the second time by the
senate sitting as a committee of the
whole yesterday morning and after a
short debate was recommended for
passage.
The Nyquist bill was amended and
passed by the senate two weeks ago,
but on motion of Senator Cambell, the
vote was reconsidered, and the bill was
called back from the house and placed
on general orders.
When it was taken up yesterday
morning, Senator Cambell attempted to
have the number of inspectors cut
down to one for each e congressional
district, and claimed in defense of the
amendment that the NyquiSt bill
placed the country districts at the
mercy of incompetent men, as the fees
would be so small that no competent
man would seek the position. The
amendment was defeated and the bill
was recommended for passage without

The proposition of admitting the

State Soldiers Home and the erection
Of married quarters was again pre-
sented to the legislature yesterday by
Representative Randall, Duluth.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Randall
yesterday, gives the mana cement of
the soldiers home considerable lee way
in the matter of the selection of a site
for the female and married quarters, by
providing that the site may be
purchased within twenty miles of the
present home. 1t is, however, the de-
sire of the projectors that a site, if one
is purchased, may be secured adjoining
the present home reservation.
The measure carries an approplia-
ton of $4,000; of which not more than
$4,000 may be expended for a site of
not less than forty acres, and one cot
tage must be erected at a
maximum cost of $4,000. The
purchase of a site is optional with
the board of managers and should the
appropriation be cut the proposed cot
Eage could be built on the reservation
