rapidly with the details of his plan
for reorganizing the Panama canal
commission.
The old commission was composed
of distinguished civil engineers and

with high salaries, perquisites, honors
and responsibilities less than a year
ago, and all are now to be retired
They have failed. Multi-headed COM
missions for work like that must
ever fail
The chief men, Admiral Walker
and General Davis, no doubt excellent
men in their way. and once able and
energetic men, are at least % years
past the Osler age OF usefulness. En-
gineer Wallace is to be appointed tC
do the work.
He is young, energetic and above
all has done similar work on the ca
nal connecting LaFe Michigan witt
the Mississippi, work in magnitude
scarcely second to that of Panama
The country, it is thought, will heal
from him and his hundred steam

But Will Recover.


Mistaking carbolic acid for tonic,
which the attending physician had pre-
scribed for her son Mallory, Mrs S. b.
Huls SIZE North First street, Thurs
day gave the boy a teaspoonful of the
fiery fluid, which badly burned his
mouth, tongue and throat. Today the
boy is resting easier. and it is believed
all serious danger is past. The small
ness of the dose is probably all that
saved the boy from death.
The lad has been under the doctors
care for few days, and in prescribe
ing for his ailment the physician left
a bottle of tonic and one of carbolic
acid. AS soon as the dose had been
swallowed Mrs. Huls discovered her
mistake and the shrieks and screams
of herself and son brought neighbors to
the house on the run. Antidotes We're
given, and physician was at once
