THE CLOCK WILL TICK IT AWAY.
Mid the many tasks the years i'm
pose
Come blithe and blissful times.
And strewn through a world Of rustic
prose
Are ripples of restful rhymes.
But the joys we deem the dearest seem
The shortest in their stay,
For we never can greet a day so sweet
But the clock will tick it away.
Away
The clock will tick it away.
But if pleasure must hurry so quickly
past,
Then sorrow must do the same.
And a word of praise is sure to last
AS long as a word of blame.
And there's never a night so void of
light
But it wakes to a golden day,
For we haven't a grief so broad o.
brief
But the clock will tick it away,
Away,
The clock will tick it away.

If Dame Fashion should decree a
one-color wardrobe for her disciples
this season there would be a three
cornered fight for supremacy between
brown, blue and gray. Paris gives pre-
cedence to brown: London likes blue;
Vienna has a liking for both, but seems
bound, to gray by inseparable ties of
it's past successes. If put to a popular
vote, the fashionable world would pro-
badly select brown, because Paris ia

coNCRETE RAILRoAD TTE.
Objections to It Are Cited by Southern
Pacific Official.

Galveston, May 24=Although de-
cisive tests of the PercivaI concrete tie
have not been made by the Southern
Pacific, yet the matter has been gone
into sufficiently TO warrant the state
ment on the part Of a prominent
Southern Pacific official that the tie
would not be as practicable as is the
ordinary wooden tie. This as explain
ed by the official quoted, is not said
with any idea Of oisparaging the in
Vention, but is a mere statement of
fact that will appeal to any one who
gives the matter any attention
For one thing said the authority
quoted, the tie is not relient as is the
wooden tie. Another feature lacking
is the adhesive qualities of the tie when
embedded in the earth. The wooden
tie becomes practically a part of the
earth. which can be tamped in around
H. to a marked edgree of frmness,
whereas in the case of the concrete tie,
there is always the posi- bility that
there will be slipping or giving when
the earth becomes soft through damp
ness.
But the haraoteristic about the tie
which will be hardest to overcome is
that should train leave the track. 1t
will smash the ties up SO that no other
train can pass over the track until
they have been replaced. In the or
binary accident. the derailed cars
usually bump along the wooden ties
without danger to either train or ties,
but the concrete tie would be broken
in a hundred places before the first
wheel touches 1t q second time. 1t Is
impracticable to keep q supply of ties
stretched out along the right of way
for hundreds of miles to provide
apainst an emergency of the character
noted. and consequently the wooden
tie to my mind, is still pre-eminent.
1T is not my intention to detract
from the positive merits OF the con-
crete tie. 1t has decided advantages
over the wooden ones, but its useful
ness in one direction is impaired by the
flaws which it contains in another. It
is conceded that the life of the con-
crete tie is three or four fold that Of
the wooden one. but this feature can
not outweigh the disa dvantages accru-
ing from other sources. Some time
in the future Improvements may be
made to do away with some of the
present objections which now seem in

A railing on in Formulation.

Plttsburg Kan, May 24.-The asses
sors are fling their reports with the
county clerk, and naturally those from
the rural districts, the more thickly
populated districts are being filed first.
While it was to be expected that the
mining districts would show a decline
in population on account of so many
miners leaving during the present coal
suspension. still no reports have been
filed from the coal districts. The rural
sections in the north end of the county.
however. are showing a falling off in
population, which was not expected.
Complete returns from five townships,
Sherman, Grant, Usage, Walnut and
Crawford, give a net decrease in pop
ulation of III. Every one of the town
ships. not including Girard in Crawford,
shows a decline.

SHELTERS TO OPEN.
BY June Is Every Block in the State
VIII Be in Operation.


Pittsburg. Kan. May 24.-It is stated
that by June Is every block of shelters
in the state will be in operation full
time, for the first time in a year, and
the number of smeltermen employed
will be back to the old figure.
Recently the Prime Western Smelter
company started up its blocks at Gas
City, which had been down for some
time and the three blocks OF that com
pany are now being operated full time.
The only blocks now down are at the
Lanyon Zinc company's smelter, prin-
cipally at works No. 2 in lola. These
were shut down about q year ago, at
a time when zinc ore was selling at an
unprecedented high price, but they will
soon be in steady operation. J.. o.
Rodgers, president Of the Lanyon Zinc
company. has authorized the statement
that the lola works will be started up
about June Is. This will mean employ
ment for at least 100 smeltermen, many
Of whom have been without steady
work for the last year.
Not only IS every block in that dis
trict soon to be operating full time
but the United Zinc company is COM
pleting two new blocks which viii be
started up in the near future. Now
that the coal strike is about settled
and the coal consuming smelters can
be supplied with fuel. it is expected
that A B. CockerilIs smelter at Ne
vada, about the only smelter affected
by the strike will be started up soon.

RUsHING MoFFAT.s ROAD.

Surprise is expressed in railroad cir
eles at the rapidity with which David
H. MOffat is pushing the construction
Of the Denver, Northern & Pacific road
The line already has been laid across
tint summit of the Continental divide
and is being pushed westward with
great energy toward Salt Lake City. Il
lies midway between the Union Pacific
on the north and the Denver & Rio
Grande on the south, and has tributary
to it a territory greater in extent than
the whole area of the state Of PennsyI-
vania. When completed the road will

is untouched by any Railroads.&c. miles
long by 100 to 1S0 miles wide. This reg

are said to exceed anything which yet
has been suspected. Immediately west
of the Continental divide are extensive
forests Of white pine and white spruce

PUMPING PLANT AT WILLARD.
Santa Fe Will Sink Twelve Artesian
Wells There.

Willard, n. NJ, May 24.-Chief En-
gineer Key, who is in charge of the
work on the Santa FEES Belen CUTOFF,
was here during the first of the week,
and selected a site, for the immense
pumping plant which is to be installed
at this place. The site chosen is just
east of the junction of the Santa F'e
and Santa Fe Central railroads. It
has been decided not to put down one
well, but instead. to sink twelve wells
to a depth of the one already down at
this point, and pump the water into
reservoirs. where it is to be treated.
The reason advanced for this is that
the water at this depth is known to be
of splendid quality for engine use.
Three treating watts will be built and
the water treated and passed through
each of these. before it is pumped
eastward. The expense of the wells,
pumping plant, and pipe lines will ag-
gregate we'll into the hundreds of
thousands, and the monthly pay roll
OF men employed at Willard will be
several hundred dollars. Work on the
wells is to begin at once. and the water
will be pfped eastward beyond Vaughn
and westward as far as Mountainous
