DIES MONIES SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS.

If reports are to be credited, the
Des Moines plan" is in danger in Des
Moines, and coterie Of men propose
to choose the members Of the board
from an element Of the city and not by
reason Of availability and repute as
citizens and In possession Of general
confidence. Politics, ancient grudges,
private snaps and individual interests
are said to be largely dominant in the
councils that are attempting to select
candidates.
In this way lies disaster The state
at large is interested in the new plan
of city government, anxious that 1t be
given q fair trial and decent oppor-
tunity. 1t should not be permitted to
become the sport of politics or the
shelter for special interests and indi-
yiduals. If Des Moines Is to do things,
instead of talking about It, If she is to
reap the advantages of new and
more equitable system of municipal
control the people must assert them
selves against those who would use the
proposed plan" for their own purposes
and the purposes of those by whom
they profit and by whom they are con-
trolled
Des Moines ldrassemble the ma
chinery for her system without con-
sideration of men and things outside
of the greatest good for the greatest
number. She should select men on
their merits, not on their political faith,
their connection with dominant cor
porations or the exigeneies of individ-
ual politicians or factions. Galveston
created her government under the
pressure of an immediate public neces-
sity, built 1t upon the ruins OF a city
destroyed. In such instances the best
and most capable are pushed out In
front. Des Moines has no such spur to
public demand. She runs the danger
of prosperity. She must be careful
that while her need is less her caution
may be greater.

TERRIBLE COCAINE.
DERRY Chief)


A year and half ago there came
to Perry bright young man. He was
here for some three days and finally
left without paying his debts. During
his stay here he was busy supplying
himself with cocaine, a drug which he
evidently liked, but which he found
difficult. to obtain here. At that time
he was well dressed, and conducted
himself fairly well, tho little eccen-
trio because of the drug.
Monday he again came to Perry,
under another name. He was very
poorly dressed, was not near as tidy
in his appearance as when he was
here before and he had become more
flippan-. in his manner and reckless
in his conduct. He now has indelibly
stamped upon him the drug habit.
This young man had not been in Per-
nv hali' an hour before he was in
search Of cocaine. He called at the drug
stores. He annoyed physicians with
his opportunities for the drug or
prescription for it. In every instance
he was turned down. The act an
noyed him worse than a sentence to
Jail or twenty one days which Judge
Fahey gave him. That fellow had
reached the point where he had parted
company with all that is good. he has
become stranger to honor and good
character and is now so desperate that
he would doubtless be glad to board
anothe,. month in Jail If he could have
all the cocaine he wanted.
In sentencing him to Jail Judge
Fahey gave the fellow lecture and
one of kindness and good sense, not
withstaynding he knew that words
were wasted on such victim as was

and south of the Panama Canal zone,
though, strange to say, the canal zone
itself has been comparatively free
from seismic troubles.
What makes Jamaica particular
ly liable to earthquakes, big or little,
says Professor Brown, is the fact that

drop of about six miles. This de-
cline from high land to sea bottom
constitutes what is known to geo.
logists as differential relief. Less
than a hundred miles separates jana
ca from the coast line of the famous
battle-ground of Cuba, to the north
between Santiago and Caney and in
this comparatively short space the
differential relief amounts to $4,000
feet, or more than five miles.
Where the drop or delivery is SO

swettenham outbreak. The honor
was entirely unsought by the visiting
scientists. 1t was rather thrust upon
them by those who were apparently
glad Of an opportunity to secure ex-
pert opinion regarding a difficult sit
uation; and, besides, It reflected the
popular sentiment which condemned
swettenham's action.
While the expedition was conduct
ing its investigation into the cause
and effect of the cataclysm, which
was the most disastrous one expert

seventeenth century, when Port Roy

Kingston consulted with Professor
Brown, who recommended wider
streets and the adoption of stricter
regulations governing buildings ma
terials and the style of architecture.
The Brown expedition, made pos
sible through the generosity of
friends of the university turned out
to be a remarkable enterprise owing
to the circumstance that it was the
only one organized to make a scien-
tific study OF the tremendous up
neayal. Professor Brown reports
that owing to the faulty construc-
ton Of many of the Kingston build
lngs, due to the use Of brick founda-
tons put together with poor mortar
and the further mistake of laying
out exceedingly narrow streets, the
destruction Of both life and property

Where the tnud occurred in the
case of Jamaica is the mystery. In
all probability, according to Profess
sor Brown, the fracture in the earth's
crust occurred some distance south of
the Caribbean or perhaps a little to
the southwest, for the cables lying
in that direction were broken miles
offshore. Furthermore, the angle Of
Iemergence of the havoc-playing

nor deep-seated. Probably it oc-

There is a direct relation, says
Professor Brown, between the depth

fore, the conclusion that in Jamaican
case the origin of the earthquake was
not very deep-seated. In the case of
the San Francisco earthquake it was
much deeper. for the waves caused
by it were fe.t throughout an area
with radius Of 1000 miles. During
the earthquake which wrecked Port
Royal in 1892, not long after the
British took possession Of the island,
