spoken of imperial Missouri anything

1t is the Children
Who Die.

1t is tho children who die. Years ago
in the Cathedral at Lima, Peru, during a
procession, little girl. carelessly, pos
sibly for moment, allowed the candle
she was carrying to fall on the veil of a
companion, and sixteen hundred chill
dren were burned to death. A fash on
the stage of the Iroquois Theatre and
more than Ave hundred children were
burned, or choked, or crushed to death.
A fame in the hold of the General Slo.
cum, and more than one Thousand child
rem were burned to death or drowned.
In each Of the three great and shocking
Disasters there were adults who lost
their lives, but they were few in num-
Der, comparatively, and OF the number
OF adults present the greater portion es-
caped-for it is the children who die
when panic comes.
The fact ought to bring more closely
to the management OF excursion boats
and railway trains and to managers OF
theatres, to the clergy, and above all, to
the officials charged with the inspection
OF buildings and of vessels, the great re-
sponsibilities attached to them, for in
the time Of panic it is the children who
die by the hundreds and die in agony.
Signs are appearing of quarrels and OF
charges and counter charges OF negli-
gence between the Harbor Master OF
New York, the Inspectors Of Steam
Vessels and the Knickerbocker Steam
boat Company, owning the General Slo-
cum. The dead bodies Of one thousand
children who died by fire or by drowning
on the vessel or in the frightful current
OF hell gate, are witnesses to the careless
ness, or the greed or the incompetency
OF some one, and whether Harbor Mas
ter, Inspector or owner it is not OF the
slightest moment.
The disaster has appalled, the world
and grows in horror with each day. The
bodies OF the dead do not cry out for
vengeance, but they cry out for punish

Will Soon Be Fin
iShed.

The canal contractors are rapidly
pushing their work to completion and
the end is in sight. Within sixty days
the canal will have been finished as far
as the dam site, which is the ternina-
ton of the first contract. The large
contractors are evidently satisfied with
the work, for 1t is their intention to bid
on the new contracts which will be
opened in Reno July 10Th. The canals
to be constructed under theee latter
contracts will be pushed to completion
more rapidly, for the country over which
they ara to pass is level and easily
worked.
At the dam site. the government is
going to install $4,000 electrical plant
TO furnish power for pumping water to
some 10000 acres of the finest land, sit
uated on table land about nine miles
north. This plant will also furnish light
aud power for the valley towns, IT is said.
The system of irrigation to be inaugu.
rated in this valley is to be the greatest
the world has ever known. For instance,
for every mile of canal there will be a
mile OF drain. The water is being an
alyzed and the soil tested; in fact every
detail is being carefully studied. No.
where has such great pains ever before
been taken. But few years and the
Carson Sink Valley will blossom in un-
surpassed beauty.-Churchill Standard.
