WHERE LIVES ARE CHEAP.

Discussing some of the facts which
have been brought out with Startlin,
clcarncss in connection with the re-
cent destructive gale on the Great
Lakes. the esteemed Detroit Free
Press speaks as follows
Evidence Of the absolute disregard
of consequences displayed by vessel
interests on the Great Lakes in their
desire 10 increase earnings is accu-
nula,ing with startling rapidity A,
least two of the vessels which went
down during the recent gale are re-.
ported to have been loaded too heav.
lily for safety, and II is probable, if
the truth was ki0wn, others, some OF
whom wcathered the storm through
sheer good luck rather than foresight,
were in the same condition. Compc-
tition between the older class III
boats and The now frcightcrs Is year
~ becoming more keen. The incrcas-

tons OF ore or coal. means Il propor-
tomato increase Ct dividends If all
goes well. Ii i, does not there is the
insurance. and what are Il few human
lives when there are dollars to DC
made? This selfish view may not nj
less derlorable where Indifference
takes the place OF greed.
The frequency of these occurrences
suggests the need OF action which will
put IN end to such practices. The
English plan Of having Il loading line
plainly marked on each vessel and
furnishing owners who seek TO load
beyond the prescribed limits is sim
pie and al the same time effective
measure. The time may come when
the old hulks, which are but little
better than floating collins, will dis
appear from the Great Lakes. Pend
ing the arrival of that day steps
shoulds be taken to safeguard the lives
OF the crews employed on them AM

and captains TO their senses"
II seems TO BE- Pretty clearly cstab-

went down with its crew carried too
great a load and the presumption is
that more OF them foundcrcd because
Of the same conditions. One frequent

water sailor, and no one doubts that
1t is, similar regulation would be
good for the fresh water vessels.

prairie sees "A jack rabbit for the first

skip out and lay hands on the creature
without any trouble. but that is where
the man gets fooled. The rabbit Is
awkward, appears to be lame in every
joint. holds up one foot as though it
panied him and altogether creates the
belief that be is Il dilapidated wreck
of an ungainly, animate thing. The
settler is surprised that he cannot
grab" him. The settlers dog also is
confident that he can quickly make an
end of the rabbit He bristles. runs
leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed. doubles it again, triples that,
quadruples the whole. when 10. the
rabbit disappears. There is some fly
ing grass. a vanishing streak of light,
a twinkling of two prodded feet eX-
tended rearward, and he is gone The
dog sits on his launches and concludes
that he did not see rabbit at all.

In boys the average rate of growth is
three feet three inches in six years,
being an average of .01S inch day.
During the twenty first and twenty
fourth years a mans hair grows quick
er than at any other period, 1t takes
an eyelash twenty weeks to reach II
length of 400 inch, and then its life
is from 100 to 100 days. BY means

COUNTING THE VOTES.
Ballots in Second Ward Being Scrutil-
lied by Committee.

A committee appointed from among
| the Republican city central committee
/ is today making a recount of the vote
cast for councilman and member of the
board of education from the Second
ward. The recount was asked at the
! instance of Richard Wilson who was
defeated for member of the city coun-
4 Gil from the Second ward by nine votes,
his successful opponent being w. A.
Voigt and of w. H. Wilson. candidate
for members of the board of educa ton
from the same ward who was defeated
by George H. Smith by a majority OF
one vote
The committee consisting of Fl. G..
Larimer, chairman, Fourth ward; G. f.
Heartburg, First ward; J. G. Rodgers,
Fourth ward; C. E. cambridge, Firth
ward and George Larkins, Sixth ward
was appointed last night by the city
central committee to make the recount.
The committee met this morning at
O'Clock in the office OF H q. Lar1mer
and commenced to make q recount of
all the ballots cast in the Second ward
and to pass upon the defective ones al
legged to have been rejected. Each OF
the interested candidates was allowed
to have a representative present to
watch the recount.
At the meeting of the Republican city
central committee held last night at the
court house to make a. canvass OF the
vote cast at the primary, the two can
didates contesting for a recount re-
quested the committee to appoint

count. Their request was granted but
a similar request of Welza 6. Fair
child who was defeated by S. S. Urmy
for the position of police judge by 159
votes was turned down. The city CEN
trail committee held that a recount
would not show any material difference
in the final result.
Mr.. Fairchild stated this morning
that the report that had been circula-
ted that he would take recourse to le-
gal proceedings to force a recount is
not true
