Millions Of money are ready for a moving
from Hanover square, New York,
across the new Brooklyn bridge to It's ter
minus. 1t is believed this is going to solve
the problem of rapid transit in that part
Of New York. Cars OF every sort and de-
scription have become inadequate IN New
York, where 1000, 900 trips must be made
by nearly 5000, 900 people every day, so the
"Gordian knot is to be cut by simply hav-
ing the whole street move. 1t has come to
this at last, and may come to 1t in other
cities. The traveller bound from Manhat-
tan to Brooklyn steps on a moving side
walk going two and one-half miles an hour,
from that to one moving FIVE miles an hour,
and thence by one more graduation to the
walk moving ten miles an hour. These
walks will be endless, the last one covered
and seated. 1t can never be ov~ercrowded,
and the fare is to be l cent. Another ad-
vantage of It is that 1t will not run over
anybody, and 1t will not be limited TO an
owl schedule after u o'clock at night.
1t is to run in a subway until II reaches
the bridge, and thus will not Interfere with
street trafhc. This is no doubt the means
OF city transportation in the coming time.
City people are becoming more and more
impatient Of waiting for cars. They de-
mand something tina moves with the
promptitude and facility of their own legs.

COAL TRAIN HELD UP.
Residents of Stratford, Ia, Seize Several
Cars of Fuel and Are Placed
Under Arrest.

Stratford, Ia, Jan. -Stratford Cit
liens are indignant over the arrest
Of over 80 persons for holding up a
Northwestern coal train here Sun
day and selling several cars of fuel.
But little coal had been shipped to
Stratford for weeks, and famine ex-
listed. When the train stopped for
water the news spread like wild fire.
and soon a mob of 500 persons, with
wagons, baskets and coal scuttles,
were at the tracks. A car was broken
into, and the citizens eagerly helped
themselves. When the raid was over
only a few tons remained in the cars.
The railroad officials notified the
sheriff at Webster City, who imme-
diately left for Stratford and made
the arrests. Excitement is intense,
and trouble is expected when the
prisoners are brought to trial. All
were granted bail.

State Hail Insurance

Senator A. D. Stephens stands
sponsor for a scheme to wipe out the
hail insurance companies and put
that class of Insurance business in
the hands of the state
Mr.. Stephens plan contemplates
an indemnity assessment made by
county assessors on growing crops.
The taxes collected under this crop
assessment are to be paid into the
state treasury and disbursed in in
IDENTITIES for crop losses by hail, on
proof of loss. The senator says his
scheme is not socialistic, nor would
it prove complicated or burden to
the state. The expense, he claims,
would be very slight, as the work
aside from adjustment of losses
could be done by the present state
machinery and adjustments could
be made by county officials.
The excuse for the plan, according
to it's author, is that the hail insur-
ance companies are not builded on
the rocks. He says Of IS companies
organized in Minnesota, Is have
failed, and the II remaining are in a
precarious condition. He thinks
the farmers of the state are in ia
vor of this scheme and that it will
have a strong popular backing.
He is preparing a bill embodying
the essence of this scheme for in
PRODUCTION in the upper house.

gian NJ. E. church commence Sun

OFFICIAL FIGURE.

The government statisticians have
figured up the agricultural results
for the past year, and are out with a
report in which Minnesota appears
very prominently. The state holds it's
old position of pre- eminence in wheat,
having produced 79,752,4O4 bushels
from an area Of $751; s3 acres, the
yield per acre averaging 1879. At Gle
per bushel, which is the average price,
the government figures that farmers
received for their wheat, the crop
brought $4s,64s,966 to the state.
North Dakota, is next to Minnesota in
the production of spring wheat, show
ing 62,S72,241 bushels raised from
3,954,229 acres, having value Ut $780,
465, 300. Next in spring wheat is
South Dakota with 43,973,O33 bushels,
taken from 3,604,34 acres, and bring.
ing to the state $25,O64, 629. In max
ing these estimates the government
uses Gle as an average price for Min
nesota, SIC for North Dakota, and SIC
for South Dakota.
Minnesota with 667,5O0 acres plant.

The number of soldiers slain in
battle depends a great deal on the
color of their uniform. The more
conspicuous the helmet and jacket
the better the target, and consequent
