The Ground Is Alive.

We are so used to thinking Of the soil
as mere mineral matter that 1t comes
quite as n shock to find this is a mis-
take. AS matter of fact. the layer of
soft mold which clothes the ground in
all cultivable districts and IRON which
vegetation springs is actually in great
part living layer of tiny plants and
animals!e Interlacing threads of molds
and fungi, worms and grubS, creeping
insects, tiny root parasites. decaying
leaves and the millions of bacteria
which spring from them-all these are
mixed and mingled together Tor many
inches down below our feet in a con-
fused mass of life. Germs Of all sorts
swarm in countless millions. Indeed,
all the plants that grow and life that
exists on the face of the earth owe
their being to the fact that the ground
Is alive. You take a shovelful of the
fnest soil In the world and sterilize
t-that is, beat it till all the life in it
Is destroyed-and then plant seeds in
t. No amount of care or watering will
make those seeds grow. Their life de-
ponds on the life in the soil around
them.-LOndOn Answers

Elephant Life In the JungIes.

Without elephants jungles would be
virtually impossible. The great beasts
are mixture Of strength and weak
ness, of craft and simplicity. The
paths through the jungle from village
to village are merely tracks from which
the interlacing foliage has been cut
and thrust aside and the virgin soil
trOdden into a black mud. After q
rain this mud Is many feet deep, and
no living creature except an elephant,
buffalo or a rhinoceros could labor
through It. The elephant makes his
way by lifting one foot at time and
inserting 1t deep into the slough in
front, withdrawing another with a
sound like the popping Of a huge cork.
Nothing but n ride on an earthquake
could be compared with the sensation
Of being run away with by an ele-
plant AS for stopping him. some one
has well said that you might as we'll
try to stop runaway locomotive by
pulling with your walking stick on the
funnel as seek to check an elephant at
such moment with goad.

the cabinet concurring, took the wind
out of the attorney generals sails by de-
Gliding that Mr.. Hartman, although
branded as a law breaker, and a most
undesirable citizen. could not be pro-
ceeded against criminally. This decis-
ion Of all the leaders Of the republican
party was evidently tub thrown to the
Wall street whale, where the stock mar
ket was disorganized and n.eded tonic
to prevent disaster.
The trouble with Attorney-General
Bonaparte was-he is now undeceived-
that he, like others, had taken President
Roosevelt seriously as ready to go to ex-
tremes to curb the trust magnates and
control the railroad managers. He had
evidently overlooked the fact that the
president in his correspondence with
Mr.. Hartman had declared, "you and l
are practical men," while Bonaparte ev-
identity thought the president was an
iconoclast and ready to smash thugs left
and right. Practical politicians do not
work that way, at heart they are as much
mollvcoddle as the veriest mollycoddle
OF them all.

The editor OF the ST. Louis Globe.
Democrat appears to be on the verge of
nervous prostration these days, and his
tender feelings have been lately lacerated
by the statement OF the Chicago Tribune
that sthere is no republican party in
any of the eo-called Southern states"
One can barely blame the Globe.Demo-
crat for getting excited about it. for it lie
go evidently true that outside OF the fed
eral officeholders, there is not much to
be found of the republican party in the
South. For instance. at the caucuses in
New Orleans lately there were only
about 700 votes cast, and there are over
700 republican officeholders.

MAJORITY RULE.

In eghing the socalled arguments
AGAINST the restoration of majority rule
that are being put forth throughout the
country. bear in mind that wherever
there is no special privilege in bill the
guardians OF the public's welfare are
willing that the people should vote on it;
but wherever special privilege is
wrapped up and tucked away in bill or
other public measure these public guar
dams are wildly opposed to government
as mob!"
Charles P. Taft, brother OF the secre-
tary OF war, is a millionaire president of
the Cincinnati gas monopoly and is
vehemently opposing the restoration Of
majority rule. His connection, however,
with private monopoly is not shown IN
the biographical sketch in "Who's Who."
written by Mr.. Taft himself. Why is it
that this is concealed?
Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts, ia
another open antagonist But every one
knows that Mr.. Lodge is one of the chief
speakers in the Massachusetts republican
machine.
Only the ruling few of the uniformed
are opposing the restoration of the peo-
pies rule.

BONAPARTE'S SURPRISE.

On June 3, Mr.. Bonaparte, head OF the
Department of Justice, under the prod
ding of incisive articles in the New YORK
World and other newspapers that he was
slow and behind the times as tru't
buster, said:
"In some cases where continuous vic.
lati ms of the law involve large num-
b,r of illegal acts, each one OF them
criminal, the total fines which can be
imposed have proved a sufficient deter
rent. But in other cases it is the opinion
of NEST pr osecuting officers that the law
c,n be much more clearly and effective
" enforced through the imprisonment
of individu Il defendants"
That in Dictated that the attorney-gen-
eral intended to try his hand at putting
some of the "bad" trust and corporation
magnates, including such an undesirable
citizen as Mr.. Hartman "behind the
bars" if he could convince jury he was
as black as painted by President Rouse
welt and others.

NO TRAINS ARE SENT
EAST BY THE WAY
OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-The
train service out of the city Is badly
demoralized as a result of the heavy
rains and washouts.
Sacramento at present Is entirely cut
off from railroad communication with
the outside world, except from the east.
BY main line Sacramento is but 90
miles distant. If 1t is seen that there
is no other way of bringing eastern
trains it is the Southern Pacific com
pany's intention to run a train tonight
from San Francisco to Fresno, thence
north by way of Modesto, Tracey and
Niles into Oakland, a distance of 374
miles.
Not an eastern train left today via
the Ogden route.
From Marysville, Cal, 1t is reported
that all the reclamation districts in
Sutter county have been flooded near
Meridian The water is in the second
stories of houses and many families
are said to be in want.
Near Tudor a break occurred near
the old Indian mound on which was
situated an old iron fort brought from
the east in sections by John A. Sut-
ter in the days before gold was discov-
cred.
The fort is reported to have been
swept away. The water is subsiding.

Many Passengers Have Narrow Escape
from Death In Colorado-En-

ANTONITA, Colo, March 21.-East-
bound Denver & Rio Grande passenger
train No. 116, running between Durango
and this place, left the track at curve
between Osir and Toltec gorge, thirty
miles west of here last night, and
thirty-five passengers had narrow es-
cape from death.
The engine and tender rolled down
an embankment, 200 feet from the bot
tom of q chasm.
All the coaches left the track, sew
eral turning completely over, and the
rest alighting on their sides. The en-
gine crew jumped in order to save their
lives, and Engineer Smith of Chama, N.
NJ, rolled down the embankment.
He was overtaken by his engine,
which passed over his body in it's wild
flight to the foot of the embankment.
That he was not crushed to death is
incomprehensible AS it is he is quite
badly hurt but not believed to be fa-
tally so. All the passengers were more
or less hurt but none seriously.

MERGED Cal, March 21.-Constable
]. c. Mcnamara, Deputy Sheriff George
Yoakum and Jack Middleton were shot
this evening while attempting to arrest
Juan Peres and Antoine Montan, two
Mexicans, who had escaped from the
chain gang at the county Jail.
Mcnamara was shot in the chin, the
bullet ranging down and lodging in
the shoulder. His condition is very
serious, but his recovery is expected.
One of the bullets of the Mexicans
grazed Yoakum's forehead, but he es-
capped serious injury. Jack Middleton
who was passing, was struck in the
arm by a stray bullet.
The shooting occurred in the tender
loin district, where the MeXicans were
hiding. The officers got one of them
down on the sidewalk, but his cries
brought his companion to the rescue.
He began shooting and before the
officers could retaliate the Mexicans
escaped in the darkness. The Mexi-
cans We're next heard of at the ranch
of Scott Croop, near town. They met
Croop in the road and robbed him of
a few dollars and then turned toward
town again.

GOVERNMENT WISHES
DETAILED PLANS TO
BE KEPT A SECRET
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March H.-The
theft of the plans of the battleship
Nebraska from the desk of the super
intendent Of construction of the Moran
Bros. company at Seattle has not been
reported to the navy department.
The department does not take tie
reported theft seriously. The stolen
booklet does not contain plans OF
mechanism which it is especially de-
sired to keep secret. Officials of the
bureau of construction said today that
practically every thing in the booklet
has heretofore been made public.
Until recently the information con-
tanned in the booklets of this character
has been closely guarded, it is said, as
it was of a character general to nearly
all battleships of every country except
as to the measurements.
Since the Russo-Japanese war it had
been the practice not to permit any
part of the detailed plans of battle
ships to be given publicity.

BROWNSVILLE CITIZENS
ARE CUP IN ARMS
Rv Associated Press.

BROWNSVILLE. Texas, March 21.
AT a mass meeting of Brownsville
citizens tonight resolutions were
adopted expressing indignation because
of what is termed an attempt being
made both before the court martial
proceedings at Fort Sam Houston and
before the Senate committee at Wash
ington ''to clear the negro soldiers of
the Twenty-fifth infantry of the crime
committed against Brownsville on
August Is last by fastening the in
fanny on the townspeople themselves"
The resolutions declare such con-
summation would be a grave miscar-
riage of justice and an outrage upon a
wronged and innocent people who
know beyond a shadow of a doubt that
the outrage was committed by the
soldiers.
The senatorial committee and also
the Penrose county court martial are
urged to come to Brownsville and
make thorough investigation.

FLOOD DISAPPEARS AND
BUSINESS AGAIN is
RESUMED AT STOCKTON
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
STOCKTON, March 21.-The flood is
over here and business has resumed.
Normal conditions will prevail in a
day or two. The cars of the old line
street railroad company are again run
ming, though they have to go through
water few inches deep in the north
ern part of the city.
The traction company cars, put out
of business before the flood by trouble
at the American River Electric COM
pany's power house on the American,
will not be able to resume for several
days.
The demoralized telephone service is
being repaired and will soon be again
in commission. About 1000 telephones
We're silent on account of the flood. A
big force of men is at work on them.
The unwatering of flooded Easements
has begun and power and hand pumps
are at work in all directions.
Damage Is Heavy
1t is impossible to give anything like
an accurate estimate of the damage
at this writing. However, it will run
into six figures.
The city is a heavy loser owing to
damage to streets.
The city was not without electric
Tuesday night, when the local power
house became flooded. Current was
then obtained from San Francisco over
the standard wires.
Users of natural gas are still with
out that commodity, though the man
ufactured gas service is in operation.
No Actual Distress
There is much inconvenience, but no
q ictr Sfnolrtnto ic ,lxr
able to cope with the situation without
aid from the outside.
There is still no train service, as the
flood has washed out considerable
track in the city limits and north of
town, and bridges have been rendered
unsafe.
The entire country is under water
from Banta to Lathrop, and pile driv-
ers are at work on some of the South
ern Pacific bridges. All the reclama-
tions from Finks to District II, includ-
ing Carsons Mornings and the Nc
Laughlin tract, are submerged.
All Records Broken
The water at the San Joaquin bridge
registered 1913. or eight inches higher
than ever before known. When the
levees in that locality went out it so
relieved the pressure that the big
reclamations southwest and west OF
Stockton were saved, though Boudin
island was reported under water this
morning. Roberts island, Union island
and the Rindge syndicate reclamations
are safe.
A special meeting of the city coun-
ell has been called to consider the cut
ting of the railroad embankment and
allowing the water which covers Fair
Oaks, the eastern addition, to go out
! into Miner channel
Other flood questions will also be
considered.
