/ ties 10 enforce regulations as to siz,
! of wagons and width of tires.
Michigan.-For tires three and one
/ half inches or more in width for load
/ exceeding 800 pounds a rebate of one
fourth Of highway tax.
New York-For tires three inches II
width or over a rebate of one half OF
highway tax. not exceeding in any one
year the sum of 81.
Ohio.-T'ires to be not less than three
inches for loads of one ton; penalty
50 to 500. In a portion of the state
tires five inches in width are required
for load of $500 pounds.
Indiana.-Loads over $500 pounds to
be hauled on a broad tired wagon.
Nermont.-practically one inch in
width of tire per ton of load.
Pennsylvania.-On tie road from
Philadelphia to Lancaster. according to
the statutes of 1892. practically two
inches in width per ton of load
From consular reports there has been
gathered the following a 5 to such usage
in foreign countries:
Austria.-Tires four and one-third
inches for load of two and onefourth
tons and six and one-fourth inches for
loads of four and one-half tons or over.
France.-Usual width of tires four to
six inches, with the rear axle twelve to
fourteen inches longer than the fore
Germany heavy loads a width
of at least four inches.
Switzerland.-A width of one inch for
each draft animal and for heavy loads
not less than six inches.
Most of the states in this country and
many foreign countries prescribe con
ditions of widths to loads hauled on the
general principle that wide tires CON
tribute in no small degree to the proper
maintenance of the highway. The i'm
portance of wide tires for vehicles is
not sufficiently realized. They save ex-
pensive stone roads from being worn
into ruts, cut up and ruined by traffic
and they improve dirt roads by wear

VALUE OF
WIDE1IRES
They Improve Bad Roads and
Always Save Good
Ones

Wide tires preserve good roads, im-
prove poor ones and remove ruts They
are more effective by having the rear
axle of the wagon longer than the for
ward one. The easiest and cheapest
way to keep the roads in condition is
20 put wide tires on vehicles. One
need only to 80 about the country a
little to note the damage done by mar
row tires to roads built at great ex-
pense. The use of narrow tires is GER
tainly the poorest kind of economy.
Experiments with broad and narrow
tires have definitely shown the folly Of

TO CONTROL OPIUM TRADE.
United states Government May Make
n Monopoly of This Foe of
the Orientala.

Manila, Aug. 6.-The opium COM
mittee appointed last August by Gov.
Taft to investigate the laws and con-
ditions with regard to opium In all
oriental countries has rendered its re-
port. The committee recommends that
the opium traffic should be strictly a
government monopoly at once, to be
sold to the highest bidder; that at the
end Of three years the Importation of
opium should be absolutely prohibited
with the exception of medicinal re-
Quirements, only confirmed habltues
Of the drug who are over q years Of
age to be granted a smokers license;
that an educational campaign against
the use Of opium be started in the
schools; that the habitues Of the drug
be treated free Of charge In govern
ment hospitals, and that the punish
ment Of Chinese found guilty Of i'm
porting opium be deportation.

SANK TODEATH
Pathetic Accident to Michael Riley
and Seven Little Girls.
WERE WADIIC III The MISSISSIPPI


Alton. ~, Aug. awhile bathing In
the M'ssissippi river here Michael RI.
ley, his daughter and six Of the lat.
ter's LITTLE GIRL friends were drowned
One chids who was in the party, WA
rescued. ndley lived near the river In
tbe, southeFn part Of the city. and was
Accustomed to battle in the beach In
front OF his home after his return from
work. Last night his little daughter
begged to with him and Riley took
her and seven Of her little girl friends
to the beach with him. f.,
When they entered the water Riley
babe the children join hands and they
all waded into the river and walked
along a sandbar which stretched out
into the stream at that point. They
had gone some distance from the shore
when suddenly the whole party disap-
peared beneath the water. having in
the darkness stepped from the sand
bar into the deep channel.
The children struggled and screamed.
fighting desperately to reach the sand
bat, where the water was only q foot
OF so indepth. Riley. who is said to
have been a good swimmer, is thought
to have been made helpless by the
girls clinging to him and hampering
his efforts to save them. The only one
in the party to regain the sandbar was
Mary Timiny. eight years old. The
child was unable to tell how she saved
herself beyond the statement that II
enatched my hand loose from the
grasp Of the little girl next to me and
soon found that l could stand up and
that the water only come to my knees"
The beach where the accident &C.
Cured is practically deserted after
nightfall, and the screams Of the little
girl failed to attract anyone
to the scene. After Riley and her play
mates had disappeared beneath the
water, the child ran from the beach
and reached her home screaming at the
of her lungs. She was so hysteri-
cal that 1t was some time before her
parents could gather an account Of
what had occurred. Immediately Mr..
organized a rescue party, but
when they reached the beach there was
no sign of Riley and the eve little
girls whom Mary had seen sink before
her eyes.
According to the account Of the acci-
lent given by the little Timiny girl
lfter she had been in a Gained |
~ her parents, the drowning was
,aused by the excitement incident to
he passage of a large river steamer.
Mary says that they had waded some
distance into the stream, keeping care
ully to the sandbar, when the steamer
'aused waves Of considerable height
o come ashore. Before entering the
water Riley had instructed the little
mes to maintain a tight grasp on each
'thers hands, he taking a place in the
enter. The wash from the steamer
considerable confusion among
he girls, Mary explained, and in the
larkness they lost their bearings and
efore they were aware of their dan
er two or three of them had stepped
n the sandbar into the channel, drag
ing the others with them. Mary was
{ the end of the line and when her
ompanions dragged her from the
andbar she was the nearest to shoal
,ater and to that fact she owes her
scape.

Chicago Aug. 6--The strike d III.
packing houses had Q counter a(tiAc'
ton In the excitement attending 8 run
ON the Drovers' Trust and SsTingl
bank, which Ia In the stockyards. The
rush Of the deDositors to the taph
started because Of an unfounded I'd.
NOR that one of the packers repre-.
sentatives had withdrawn his money
from the institution and reports that
the bank was used by the packing COM
panies as an adjunct in paying en-
ployes who have taken the places of
strikers. All day long hundreds Of de-
positors stood in line to withdraw
their small deposits. When closing
time came 1000 persons were waiting
for their money. The bank. deter
mined to meet the emergency, called
in extra %tellers, and the place was kept
open until every depositor who pre-
sented himself had been satisfied. The
paying windows were closed after
eight o'clock at night Nearly two
hours before that time the last man
in line had been paid his deposit in
full. It Is estimated that upwards of
5000 depositors called and withdrew
their deposits during the day. When
the run was at Its height the bank
withdrew 500, 900 Of Its deposit with
the Commercial national bank and a
like amount from the First national
bank in order to prevent any posi-
bility of the banks being unable to
meet its obligations promptly.
Rumors Of another peace conference
between the packers and the strikers
were occasioned by the appearance at
the live Stock exchange of John M.
Boardman and M. e. Miner, president
and secretary Of the Montana Round
up association, IN organization Of
drovers which sends nearly 5 10000
head of cattle to the yards each year.
The Montana men represent several
million dollars and announced that
they were in Chicago to investigate the
causes and conditions surrounding
the strike.
Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 1.-TWO deputy
sheriffs were arrested by policemen
while the deputies were trying to quell
a riot at the stock yards. One Of the
deputies was hit in the head with a
brick and seriously injured. Citizens
made formal complaint to Mayor Sears
and he relieved one Of the policemen
Of his star.
st. Joseph, NO. Aug. 6.-The pack
Ing house managers here maintain that
the strike Is at an end as far al they
are cncerned. The claim was made
that more strikers returned to work
In the several plants to-day than at
any time since the strike began. The
managers assert that many Of the men
employed in the mechaical trades who
went out in sympathy two weeks after
the strike order was issued have been
taken back.
