THE CITY OF SPEED.
No City In the World Does Things as
Rapidly as Windy Chicago-How
IL Has Grown-Interesting
Figures and Facts.

Chicago. the big That is what
the name meant in Indian language
Che-cau-gou, a thing that is powerful
and great 1t was n word that the
Miamis used to describe the thunder
and the falls OF Niagara. Even IL
Chicago had been founded by Phar-
oah or a Caesar, its bigness would
still be surprising; but when we are
taken up to the hurricane deck of the
Masonic temple and told that this
overpowering city beneath us is mo-
older than many of the people in the
streets we have no answer. The
truth is too wonderful to believe.
And this is not yet the whole truth.
In seventy years these Spartans at
the foot of Lake Michigan have built
their city not once but twice. First,
they built 1t on a swamp vast
waste of such and sinkholes. Nature
had forgotten to put crust on the
earth at this spot, so the Chicagoans
made one ten feet thick. For gen.
Grafton the city grew. Then came
the great fire, and $4,000 buildings
went down. There was no Chicago
nothing but a great ash heap. The
Spartans were dismayed, but only for
moment They dashed the tears
and cinders out of their eyes and be-
gan to build a second city before the
ruins had ceased to burn.
No failure is final-that Is the Chi
oago idea. When their river was
crooked. they made II straight. When
/ It fouled their drinking water by
] flowing north into Lake Michigan,
they dug their famous drainage canal
and compelld 1t to run into the Mis-
sisslppl and the Gulf of Mexico. When
the lake trespassed on Lincoln Park
they drove 1t back with marvellous
sea wall of masonry and marble.
Nothing that either man or nature
can do apparently can check the
growth of this city that has spread
back from the lake like a prairie fire,
until now its great bulk covers nearly
200 square miles of Illinois.
Chicago stands as probably the
fourth city In the world in popula-
tion. She has doubled her people in
fifteen years. But she is the first
city In the world In many things-in
enterprise. in growth, in energy, and
in her indomitable optimism and self
confidence. Nowhere else Is there
such human voltage. No other city
strains more in the harness of COM
merce, or pulls as much per unit.
Every state in the Union hurries at
the call of Chicago. Bring me your
lumber" she demands. Il want o.
900, 100000 feet of II year. Bring
me every week day so. 900 of your
farm animals and 100000 bushels
of your grain. Bring me your ore and
oil and cloth and paper and tobacco
and be quick. for | am Chicago-the
| city of Speed. ."-Munsey's Magazine

AND sTEDMAN swoRE.

William T. Stead, the English edi-
tor, In an address before the New
York conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, pleaded for the as
sistance of American Methodists in
the movement for International peace
which is TO be considered at the next
Hague reference.
Are You American churchmen-
are you members of the Church of
Jesus Christ in America-willing to
take action to secure the enactment
of this law as an International stat
ute?' he asked, "and say there shall
be moments pause before the dogs
of war are unleshed?"
Amen, amen" came In a chorus
from all over the church. Amen, oh
nobody cares d--n for an amen,
unless 1t leads you to do something
to put into effect your prayers" the
speaker responded.
said he: You Methodists are the
second church in America. If you put
your forces to work to the task before
us we might have great results. The
Free Church in England announced
1t was ready to act under the direc-
ton of the Archbishop of Canterbury
in the matter and when | left they
were considering whether 1t would
not be better for the Church of Eng

DR.. Kennard, commissioner of the
Society of Friends who was sent to

one meal in twenty-four hours.
As a meal Is only two pounds OF
bread and bowl of soup. this. acord-
Ing to the commissioner means dying

in countless instances is divided
among many mouths. There are only
sufficient funds on hand to last until
May / whereas money, will be need
ed to the end of July, when the har-
vest will bring relief. The commits
sioner especially appeals for canned

coarse bread made of aeorns. powder
ed wood and oucumbers,i resulting in
thousands of deaths and. much dis

pelled to labor in the fields as slave
She says she was compelled to work at

COAL FIND.
Aurora County Farmer Strikes
Ignite While Boring a.
Well.

Kimball May go There is consid-
erable excitement in Aurora county
over the discovery of what appears to
be large bed of a good quality of lig-
mite coal. The find was made while
drillers were sinking an artesian well
on the farm of J. w. Oaks
The drill went through vein of ex-
cellent coal The drill struck the vein
at depth of about 7SO feet below the
surface Of the ground, and for dis
tance Of about twenty feet the drill
worked in the bed of coal. Particles
of the coal which were brought to the
surface by the drill prove that it is Of
good quality.
. The owner of the farm is arranging
to have more thorough test made,
and if it develops that the coal is there
in sufficient quantities to pay for min
ing it at that depth he will uncover
the vein and commence mining opera
tions. Mr.. Oaks came to South Cakota
from the soft coal regions of Illinois.
and he states that in that state 1t is
nothing unusual for mine owners to
make profit ont of coal mined at q
depth Of from 1000 to 1850 feet, many
of the veins also being of shallow
nature which it might be thought could
not b.s mined at profit.
If Oaks find in Aurora county proves
to be up to expectations it will solve
the fuel problem in that prt OF the
state.

Sioux Falls Journal: Madison has

matter of progress. Concrete bridges
were built in the days of the Romans,
they are as enduring today as when
first thrown open to travel, but COM
mercialism and greed made them un-
popular with contractors and the public
readily fell into the rut with the resu 1t
that bridges for hundreds of years have
been built of fiimsy material which
would stand only for few years to
be then torn down and replaced with
another equally as bad. Madison evi

contractor performs his duty as did
