GOODNESS OF THE TEACHERS
Four Hundred Scholars Brought to
Street in Safety.

Street In Safety.
Jackson, Mich, Jan. 5.-Fire broke
out in the Central high school build
ing, West Main street, Monday after
noon just as the pupils were gathering
in their respective rooms.
Four hundred pupils were in the
building at the time. The fire started
In the middle of the large building at
the furnace register in the front OF
the main stairway, so that in a few
minutes egress by that route was at
tended with danger.
The teacher who discovered the fire
Jennie Colgrove, formerly Of Han
over-gave the alarm. and in less
than a minute all the teachers knew
of the danger. With GOODNESS the
teachers ordered their pupils to their
seats and, when quiet, ordered them
10 take their books and march quietly
from the building by the east STAIR
way. This they did, and no one was
hurt. Some failed to take their books
not seeing the necessity therefor, ana
when out on the grounds the reason
became apparent, they rushed back.
A few got in the building, but the
teachers ordered these scholars back
from the entrances, and they obeyed.

SCENES ALMOST REPEATED.
Cry OF Fire" In New York Theater
Almost Caused Panic.

New York, Jan. Am immense
holiday audience which packed the
Thalia theater on the Bowery at Sat
urday's matinee performance all but
repeated the scenes of wild panic of
the Chicago theater fire when a shrill
cry of fire" rang through the house.
Only the chance circumstance that
several policemen were standing in
the lobby at the moment and met the
emergency with strong measures
checked the wild, unreasoning frenzy
of the audience in their desire to es.
cape from the building by the main
entrance.

Flag Poles.

With proper care flag pole ought to
last great many years in spite of the
incessant exposure to the elements. Of
course the best preservative of wood is
paint, and man who has flagstaff
which has cost him good sum of
money should see that it is painted at
least once every twelve months. Flag
poles generally rot at the bottom first
and then have to be taken down to pre-
vent them from falling Of their own

But there Is still another reason.

OF the reader when he is In receptive

The reader turns over page after

reads headlines and also the full body
OF any article that interests him.
He viii read the headlines Of an ad

DESERT BECOMES GARDEN.
Wonderful Effect of Artesian Wells ON
the Pecos Valley, n. NJ.

the Pecos Valley, n. NJ.
Residents Of the Pecos valley in New
Mexico are excited by the discovery that
underlying more than 100000 acres of
desert land is an apparently inexhausti-
bic supply Of water. The famine of the
region has spread throughout the coun-
try. and even to portions Of Europe.
The water gushes from the ground
wherever borings are made, and pours
over a thirsty land, transforming it into
a garden of almost remarkable fertility.
Nowhere in the world has such an
artesian belt been found. 1t is a table
land, encireled by hills and mountains,
fifty miles long by some eight miles wide.
1t is destined to become one of the richest
gardens in the United States, and at the
present rate of settlement all the land
Will soon be valued at fancy prices. Re-
Gently Dunkards from Indiana and other
States have purchased $4,000 acres Of
land near the town of Dexter, paying
from $40 to $50 an acre. More than TO-
600 persons have bought homes in the
valley since early spring. Each purchase
carries guarantee backed by the Santa
Fe railroad, that water will spout from
an iron pipe, no matter where it may be
driven into the ground from a depth of
800 to 1000 feet
From one end of this valley to the
other along the line of the Santa Fe
railroad town sites have been staked out
and many Of them are filling rapidly. One
of the most important aids to COLOMBIA.
ton is the unrivaled climate. The valley
Is a table-land averaging about $500
feet in elevation and is one of natures
perfect sanitariums. One of the most en-
thusiastic converts to the valley is Jerry
Simpson, "Sockless" Simpson, formerly
Of Kansas. Jerry lives in Roswell, and
when asked what he thought of the Pc
cos valley and its prospects, he said: st
have only two regrets, and they are the
bitterest Of my life. One is that l did
not discover the Pecos valley fifty years
ago and the other is that l have not
fifty years more to live in it."

GURNEY MAY BE PUNISHED.
British Embassy to Be Supplied with
the Facts in the Case.

the Facts In the Case.
1t seems that Hugh Quincy, third
secretary Of the British embassy at
Washington, who was fined S25 for driv-
ing his automobile too fast and $50 more
for contempt of court by Judge Phelps
of Lee, Mass, and who raised a row
with the judge over question Of privi-
lege, came out second best after all. Cur
ney pleaded official exemption from ar
rest for the violation of a Massachusetts
law, but he is not to escape scot free If
Gov. Bates can prevent it. The State
Department, In transmitting Gov. Bates
apology to the British legation for the
arrest Of Mr.. Quincy. will present a
statement of facts and testimony to show
that Quincy violated the plain law Of
Massachusetts,.
Judge Phelps exhibited ignorance Of
international law, but the opinion seems
to prevail that Mr.. Quincy betrayed a
lack Of common sense, lack Of good
breeding and, worst of all, lack Of dip
lomacy. A man who does not know
when to be complaisant and yielding and
when to be tenacious of his dignity and
privileges, especially when he has been
guilty Of disorderly conduct, will hardly
shine as star of the first magnitude
in the diplomatic sky.
This is the view taken Of the case In
London, where it was made known at
once that the government at Washington
would make any repararion that was de-
sired, but where the only feeling was
that Mr.. Quincy had made himself ride
ulous. The Westminster Gazette thinks
that as Mr.. Quincy had violated the law
he should have peaceably waived his
privilege and paid his fine. If this is the
general feeling it is likely that Mr.. Cur
ney will be conveniently dropped from
the diplomatic service Of his country.

Weather and the Crops.

The weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary Of crop conditions is as follows:
Unusually low temperature for the sea-
son was the marked feature of the week
in the northern section OF the country
east of the Rocky mountains, heavy and
killing frosts occurring in New England,
portions of the middle Atlantic States
and lake region, Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. In the central valleys and south
ern districts more favorable temperature
prevailed. Beneficial rains fell in Illi-
Lois, Indiana. lower Michigan and por-
tons of Iowa and Missouri. and showers
delayed work in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
In the principal corn producing States
west Of the Mississippi river late corn
has experienced favorable weather con-
ditions; the crop is generally maturing
rapidly, except in northern Missouri.
with no material damage from frost. In
Iowa a week of warm and dry weather
Is required to mature the greater part
OF the late planted; needs ten days in
Missouri; mostly safe from frost in Kan
sas and the bulk of the crop is beyond
injury from frost in Nebraska. East OF
the Mississippi river late corn has rip
ened slowly on account Of cool weather
In Illinois part of the crop is safe in
the southern portion and the bulk will
be beyond danger by Oct. 10; in Indiana
much is in danger from frost, and in
Ohio, while it is practically safe in the
South, the staple requires one to two
weeks more in the North. Frosts caused
some injury to corn in the upper lake
region and upper Mississippi valley.
The harvest of spring wheat is COM
pleted; thrashing is well advanced in the
northern portion of the spring wheat re-
gion.
Cotton opened rapidly in all sections,
prematurely in Georgia and Mississippi,
and picking is being pushed.
