A Step in the Right Direction.

The move on the part of Mayor Nc
Caskrin 10 place the waterworks de-
partment in the hands of a commission
or board, is a step in the right direc-
ton. and 1t is hoped will receive the
cooperation of the council. 1t is an
effort toward a measure at least, of
civil service. such as should govern not
only the waterworks but the fire de
partment. As soon as this is attained.
the city and the tax payers will be
given a more efficient service in these
two important branches of the NUM-
cipal government.
Much will of course. depend upon
the attitude of the council in the mat

where the Representatives of FIVE gen

time. You can find grandmothers who
look like young women, they are so
well preserved. You can find men of
60 or 40 years of age who are open
for an engagement TO run foot races
or dance d country jig. All of these are
indications of the health-giving quail
ties of the broad prairies of the state
of Illinois.
We even have men who are 30 to 80
years of age who are still looking for
political preferment and who seem TO
think they are still in the heyday of
their youth. Illinois is great state
for many things, and its healthful eli
mate is not one of the least of its great
advantages.

Nor Emulating a Wise Example.

1t is to be regretted that after the
glorious achievements that have sig
naliZed the course of Japan in war, the
circumstances attending the cOnclu-

Japan has behaved too well through

Believed To Be missing Link"

Prof. Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making illogical
charts Of the northern part Of Java,
cables the Academy of Science in Am
sterdam that he feels certain that he
has discovered the long-looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor OF the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was in
formed by a Dutch merchant. Ven
Beuren, that he had discovered a
new species of NOR leys in dense
forest in which he lost mis- way.
The professor ed out to look
into the discovery q the merchant,
and while watching for the animals to
appear he heard peculiar, half hui
man voice. Looking up he saw an
enormous nest and two ape-like ami
mails looking down upon him.
The natives of that part Of the isl
and have long known the presence of
these apes, which they call Ash Pet.
rIzl" Unlike any other apes, they
battle frequently and the females wear
strange necklaces of twigs and red
berries, and nurse their young sing
ing half-articulated words. They have,
in fact. a language, but 1t consists OF
very few words.

Colored Inventor.

city but now of 1898 Dearborn, Chi
cago, has patented device to prevent
collisions in railroads which he de-
scrides as follows.
Il have completed a working mod
el of a new and useful improvement
in railroad signals. This invention is
an automatic train register which in
dicates the actual movement Of all
trains upon any line and the direc.
tion in which each moves and will al
so indicate the movemeet of trains on
which it is installed. 1t will also re-
cord the time of all stops. The offic.
ials of roads may have these registers
in their private Offices and know
where all trains are and where they
were the day before or any time past.
These registers are quite simple in
construction, consisting of electro
magnets, spring motor, small time
piece with revolving and other suita-
bic mechanism so arranged as to ac-
complish the desired results. Small
metallic conductors are laid along the
track connected to the main rails land
insulated) through which the current
passes that is sent out from suitable
generator or battery carried by each
train. These registers work by clos
ing and opening of circuit caused by
transmitter forming a short contact
with protective points of auxiliary
conductor at some known equal frac-
tional part of a mile. When stations
are reached an extra long contact is
formed, thus the line of arrival OF
train is recorded in each train and
station along the line.
The cab of each engine is fitted
with two registers The metallic con-
ductors are divided into sections or
blocks of fifteen or twenty miles each
thus local and terminal points are
used.
This device will locate washouts,
broken rails, etc 1t will also answer
all purposes Of railroad telegrapby y
having direct communication from
any point along the line to the cab Of
any engine in the circuit and saves
millions of dollars in yearly opera
tions. A telephone system can be ar
ranged in connection with the regis
ter enabling continuous speaking
communication from trains to stations
at any time.
This invention has been viewed by
several electrical experts Of this city
and Of Denver where | made the in.
ven.ion and they all recognize it to be
fine thing and say it is quite piece
of ingenuity and is worthy of investi-
CATION.

ance to demonstrate more thoroughly

Chicago, March 15.-It is to be war
to the knife between the big Five of
the beef combine and twenty-six firms
and corporations classed as independ-
ent packers. The fight for standing in
the courts and before the public will
begin in Chicago March 80. when the
special federal grand jury begins it's
investigation Of the affairs Of the al
legged beef combination. A fund Of
100000 has been raised to carry on
the fight against the beef combine
and set the claims of the independent
packers squarely before the American
public.
The largest of the so-called indie.
pendent concerns. Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger, is concerned in the move
ment to place the independent crowd
in a right light and fix the response
bility for monopolistic manipulation
where it belongs. The principal plants
of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
company are in Kansas City, but there
is large plant operated by the same
company in Chicago and branch in
New York as well.
Defense Is Planned.
The Independent packers are under
stood to have held meetings in Kansas
City the latter part of last week.
These conferences were called to de-
wise a plan, offensive and defensive,
so that when the federal grand jury
takes up the subject they will be in a
position to defend their business in
terests against any allegation which
may be charged against them by the
trust, which is said to be seeking
a means of shifting responsibility for
present infraction of the antitrust
law.
The Kansas City conference, Of last
week was transferred to Chicago Sat-
urday and was continued again yes
terday. The leaders of the "independ-
ent" coterie met in the First National
Bank building. Max J. Sulzberger,

ton, attended the conference. When
questioned he refused to discuss the
subject of the government inyestiga-
ton.
Over 200 subpoenas have been is.
sued by the federal authorities for tha
forthcoming inquiry by the grand jury.
Among these are number which have
been served on the independents =,
at their own request, it is said. They
are reported to have given informa-
ton to the secret service department
in Washington, under John E. Wilkie,
to Capt. Porter and his men of the
same department in Chicago. and to
others in Kansas City and elsewhere.
