ders, Having Waited ON the Work
Train Until His Time Was Up.

of the injured have since died, bringing the
total number Of deaths to twenty.
Conductor Judge, who was on the freight
train running west, said he had orders to
wait at Mackinaw until 2:40 for the work
train. He obeyed the orders and stayed
there until that time, when .he work train
not coming in he supposed that 1t had sided
in at fremont and accordingly he started
TO run his train ahead. He was running
along at brisk rate OF speed when the
engine of the work train appeared In
sight. Both engineers applied the air and
then, together with their hremen, jumped
for their lives. None of the trainmen with
the exception of Brakeman Harmon whose
arm was broken, were injured.
Sheriff Clay, of Tazewell county and Su-
perintendent Barnard of the Big Four
clashed at the scene OF the wreck to-day.
Barnard wanted TO burn the wreckage but
Clay insisted that the five bodies unac-
counted for should be found before any de-
bris is burned. The people insisted that
the sheriffs position be respected. The COR
oner's jury was impanelled and visited the
scene of the wreck. After remaining liz

POLITICS FIGURES.
Why Sergeants Leet and ROckafeller
Were Reduced to Patrolmen.


There is much comment about the po-
lice station over the reduction to ranks of
Sergeants Leet and Rockefeller at the last
meeting of the Board of Safety. The two
officers were reduced without apparent
cause. They have always been considered
two of the most efficient men on the force
and the action of the Board of Safety I'm re-
ducing them is regarded as a pure matter
of politics, it being alleged that both SER
geants were known to have exerted some
influence for Mr.. Bookwalter during the
recent campaign. Sergeant Leet was re-
sponsible for ridding the city of Griswolds s
dive, which, owing to his activity, was
exposed and the owner sent to the work.
house for nearly year. he also was the
man who actively fought Adam Metzlers
resort and finally succeeded in placing
Metzler behind the bars. Both the sergeants
reduced TO ranks have stood nigh with their
patrolmen because they stood for the
crushing out of vice and refused TO coun-
tenance any violations OF the law When
Indiana avenue was causing the police so
much trouble several months ago Sergeant
Leet and Rockefeller were detailed to weed
out the Objectionable characters. and with
in a few weeks the avenue was a different
thoroughfare and peace and quiet reigned
once more. Neither of the men was ever
called before a superior officer for any neg
lect or lreach OF duty. They We're reduced
without cause other than political. and their
many friends among the police are not
backward in expressing their indigna ton
at their treatment No reflections are cast
upOn Sergeant kiefer or Sergeant Schafer
the men who fill the places OF Leet and
Rockafeller as both men are recognized as
policemen of ability by the other men,
bers of the police force.

Linen cloth was occasionally used

and the Chinese before the invention Of

for the purpose.
To write upon linen It was necessary

Too Many Doctors.

DR.. Billings DIRE" attention to the
fact that the medical colleges are
graduating annually from 10000 to
1850 physicians, when the actual
needs OF this country call for only
about $500. 1t seems a pity that
some OF these graduates have not en-
tered other professions that are not
SO crowded and can offer better pros
poets for remuneration. Sanitary
engineering. naval architecture, and
the comparatively new profession Of
forestry, for instance, are not over
crowded, and there will soon be a
great demand for really competent

Jade.

The most precious Of all stones, ac'
cording to gem expert, is the jade, on
account Of it's rarity, its extraordinary
qualities and the mystery Of its cutting.
It was regarded rs sacred stone, and
nobody had right to possess it except
a prince of imperial blood. Argerius
Clutius, famous physician in Amster-
dam at the time Of the renaissance,
published a work on the jade, or ne
phritic stone, as it was then called, Oh
account Of its action on the renal sys'
tenn. At the same period Italian au'
thors spoke of the jade as osiada and
discussed it's wonderful powers for
healing sciatica.
The legends surrounding this stone
abound in history. Good specimens Of
jade are extremely rare, and the world
is at loss to know how the Chinese
managed to cut it, because it Is so ex-
tremely hard that nothing can make an
impression upon it.
