A Japanese Railway Oddity.

Some of the institutions of Japanese railways are peculiar to that country. One of these Is a smear of paint across the windows of third-class carriages. This is made necessary because thous- ands of native travellers in Japan, &C., customed to only paper walls for let ting in light, have no knowledge of glass. It's utter transparency leads them to believe that the window Is simply a hole in the side of the car. With painful results many native pas- sengers have attempted to stick their heads through the glass. For long time ambulances from receiving hos pitals had to meet nearly every train arriving in Japanese cities. and hence the streak of paint is a warning to the oriental farmer from the back country that there Is something more than az mosphere in the window.

BY Publishers Press. S-r-
Chicago, Jan. l3.-General passenger
agents Of western lines, after three days
of almost continuous discussion, have
agreed upon plan for the organization
OF a general colonization bureau to han
die the details Of the issuance Of GER
tifcates and tickets for land and immi-
grafton business.
Reports from those who attended the
Western Passenger association meetings
during the debates on this proposition
insist that there were some representa-
tives in the conference who were in
favor Of abolishing the privilege, the
colonization departments have found so
profitable in building up communities
along the rights Of way.
eve were fearful, :" said passenger
(agent of one western road, "that the
issuance of certificates would be abro-
gated and that every western state IS
development would be materially affect
ed by the shutting off of the homeseek-
ers' colonist certificate provisions.
According to one Of the active passen,
ger agents in the association, the bureau
will handle the colonization business for
all the roads in the western passenger
association, and there will be no diminu
tion in the volume Of business.
] Everything about the colonization
certificate issuance is perfectly legal,
said the passenger agent, s'and there
need be no further fear that this fea

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD
La IN FORTIETH DISTRICT
Present Office Holders Out for Old
Positions or Something Better.

No lack Of excitement will charac-
terize the coming campaign in the
Fourth ward or it's equivalent, the For
tieth legislative district. This section
Of the city is in a fair way to have as
fine little mess Of it's own as was ever
seen in the history Of Hennepin county
politics. Every officeholder in the
ward or district who owes his position
to the direct vote Of the people is out
for reelection either to his old place
OF something else. So far az can be
seen Senator j. F. Calhoun is the only
one Who will surely run for his old
office The others seem to be leaning
toward change, and at the same time
hold string on the present dignity.
Alderman A. e. Merrill, whose term
will expire this year, is saidN to be di-
vided between desire for further
aldermanic honors and desire to adorn
seat in the gorgeous senate chamber
OF the new capitol. Representative w.
P. Roberts, who occupied a seat in the
house chamber last session, is said to
have a bunch for the senate chamber
and to aspire to senatorial dignity. It
| is also rumored that Mr.. Roberts has a
kindly feeling toward the honors which
go with the office Of judge Of probate

MURDERER WILLIAMS
TAKES NEWS COOILY
Sheriff Miesen Tells Prisoner That
Governor johnson Has Fixed Date.

L
William Williams, convicted. of the
murder of Johnny Keller, and prison
er in the Ramsey county Jail in ST.
Paul, took the notification very coolly
late yesterday afternoon that he was to
hang Feb. ID.
Sheriff Anton Miesen personally
broke the news to Williams that Gov
ernor johnson had fixed the date.
Williams did not have a word to say,
and did not show the, least concern.
Soon after the notification he asked
for food, ate good meal with seem
ing relish, and then smoked cigar.
civilians, I want to treat you Just
as well as I CAM said Sheriff Miesen,
after breaking the news, tfand if
you II only behave I'll let you have
anything you want within reason"
All right, I'll be good from now
on,' was the answer Williams made in
an Indifferent manner.
Sheriff Miesen has his doubts about
it, however. Williams has been very
unruly prisoner and reached a climax
Friday evening. He was displeased
with having some towels taken from
his cell, and in a fierce display of
temper he smashed, his cell bed and
ripped the mattress to pieces. AS a
punishment he was made to remain in
his cell all Friday night without a
bed. Saturday morning Williams was
docile and once more allowed bed.

viction that Mr.. johnson is on the right
track and that it would pay the city or
any one having the means to assume
the cost of an experiment. on large
scale, as he is confident that satisfac-
tory results will be obtained. Thus far
Mr.. johnson, who is a mechanic and
engineer, has spent several hundred dol
lars on his experiments, but has not
had the means to work on a larger pipe
than six-inch main. There is no ques-
ton but that his theory Will work out
on small scale, but before the method
can be applied to large municipal sys,
tenn it will have to be shown conclu-
sive1y that it will do the work on any
size Of pipe. -.
At present Mr.. johnson is anxious to
test his method on a sixteen-inch main.
Such an experiment he estimates will
cost upwards of 5000. r. .....-. -,
The device or invention, as will be
seen from the accompanying illustra-
ton, is very simple as is the theory of
the operation Into a Waterman is in
serted special length of pipe contain
ing a cylindrical insulator, designated
as No. in the accompanying cut, with
in which are semi-cylindrical electrodes,
g and TO-. The insulator preferably
should be of glass or porcelain and the
electrodes Of copper, the thicker and
the heavier the better. Above the elec-
trode chamber are two air tubes, 10, for
the admission Of air. The, idea is to i'm
pregnate the water with oxygen before
it, reaches the electrocution chamber.
The air breaks up the water and IA
cilitates the action of the electricity
from the heavily charged copper plates
or electrodes. The current to which
the stream will be subjected will be SO
potential as to destroy all animal OF
vegetable life and to remove all chem
ical impurities. The plates Is and 1e
are simply additional electrodes in
serted transversely in the pipe in order
to make the operation of the electric
current more effective. They are not
required on smaller mains, but might
be used on the big 52-inch main supply
ing the reservoir. ~ r.

CROSSING THE MCLEOD
Grand Trunk Pacific Surveyors Are at
-. Z = Work Near Edmonton. - r.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 13.-Reports
from Edmonton state that the Sprague
party of surveyors out for the Grand
Trunk Pacific is working along the
mouth Of the Mcleod river, where it
flows into the Athabasca, looking off
the. high prairie into the river bottom
SO as to get across the Mcleod without
having to build high level bridge. The
news is important as it indicates the
course which the Grand Trunk Pacific
will take after leaving Edmonton, and
shows pretty clearly where the road will
cross the Athabasca river.
Grand Trunk Pacific surveyors have
returned from the Peace river country,
where they have been engaged during
the last ten months. Owing to mild
weather in the north the usual trip
down the Peace river on the return trip,
could not be made, the river being open
in many places, and the route across
country had to be taken to Lesser Slave
lake. = go -
