viii Not Insist on Lowering Tracks.
Estimated cost of lowering tracks Of
the Rock Island road to grade between
First and Sixth streets in this city is
S21 ,296 Engineers who have gone
over the ground estimate that this
change would necessitate the moving
of $4,000 yards of dirt. The city coun-
Gil met in committee of the whole
Thursday evening to consider the Pc
tition of west end property owners
that the railway companies be COM
PEELED to bring their tracks to grade.
e. II. Stafford, attorney of the Rock
Islanl road, appeared before the alder
men and presented the figures here
given. The aldermen agreed that the
company's contention that an order TO
bring tracks to grade would be i'm
posing hardship out of proportion to
the city's gain. The order to lower
tracks will not be issued, at this time
at least, though the committee did not
take action that will prevent the is
suing Of such an order at some future
time II desired.
Tragedy Shock to Sister.-Mrs Van
dersloat of 1886 Twenty-third avenue,
half sister of Alonzo Van Royen, the
man murdered in eastern Kansas sew
eral days ago by his brOther-in-law,
James Mcmahon, received word that

Royen and Miss Rosa Mcmahon. He
had heard his mother say she would
turn over part of her estate to his rel9-

crazed and finally accomplished the
triple murder. He was not at first
suspected, but finally his guilt was
established and he confessed. News
of her half brothers death in this ter
rible way is shocking to Mrs. Wander

.BIG EXPOSITION
 OPENED BY TAFT
President Touches Button and
 Starts Machinery
GREAT ELECTRIC DISPLAY
Taft Sends Congratulations to the Pro- motors of the Electrical and h. dustria Exposition at
 Louisville.

Louisville, April 12-What is believed by many to ba the most brilliant cleo trioal display ever held on the continent opened here for two weeks today. Pres ident Taft pressed the connecting button in the White House at Washington. This ignited an electric lamp in the First regi- ment armory here which started all the machinery in motion and the Southern Electrical and Industrial exposition, as is it's title, was officially dedicated and started
 Several hundred exhibitors representing every electrical device of note in the United States occupy the gaily decorated booths. A center tower 40 feet high sym bolizes the Goddess Electra, and she holds aloft an electric lamp which gleams into the lofty ceiling of the great build ing entirely hidden in tautly- drawn green velvet, out of which hundreds of lights in well ordered rows sparkle. On the south wall of the armory is an electrical clock 100 feet high solid with electric bulbs of various colors, through which the light runs and thus indicates seconds, minutes and hours. On the north wall of the building is probably the largest oil painting ever hung.
 The exposition will continue every day except the intervening Sunday until mid night April A, It was created to show the south and the country north of the Ohio the possibilities of street lighting.
 The following telegram was received from President Taft:
 Fred w Keisker, President of the South
 ern Electrical and Industrial Exposition
 Company, Louisville:
 Tt affords me great pleasure to con graduate the business men. of Louisville and Kentucky on the successful opening of the Southern Electrical and Industrial exposition. I trust and believe it would be of great importance aEd beneft not only to the cities immediately concerned, but to the whole south. w. H. TAFT.
 The dazzling illumination that followed the reading of the words as the Presi- dents fingers touched the key 800 miles away was a spectacle of incomparable brilliancy. From the great electrical clock above the main entrance to the lighting of the panoramic view of New Albany and Jeffersonville on the north wall of the exposition hall the light leaped with the velocity of a lightning flash, while the whirr and hum of wheels was overtaken and drowned by screaming sirens and whistles in all parts of the city.

Formal and informal dinners, private repasts, and elaborate banquets are marked features of New York's S social life of the present day.

All of New Yorks mod ern hotels have recognized the growth and extension of this latest society fad, and have catered to it most literally Grand ceremonial banqueting halls and exquisite private dining rooms are notable features of all the newer public houses and these in addition to the main public dining rooms.

 Since pellagra has undoubtedly made it's appearance in Georgia, Alabama and other southern states and numerous deaths have already resulted from what ap- pears to be the acute form of it, medi- cal officials and boards of health feel that the public should become as thor oughly informed regarding it as is possible under present circumstances.

No Way of Detecting the Poison.

No way or detecting the poisonous sub- stance formed in the grain which gives rise to the disease has yet been discov- cred, although the connection between the eating of bad corn and the disease seems to have been established beyond all question. But there is no known test which can be applied to a sack of corn meal, for instance, which will determine whether or not the eating of 1t will cause pellagra In fact where the poison is pres- ent it might cause the disease in one per- son and not In another who might be better prepared physically to resist 1t.
 With a view to the prevention of the disease insofar as is possible, the Italian government in whose domain 1t has been most prevalent, has issued certain instruc- tions with regard to the harvesting and curing of cirn which, it is believed have lad good effect in prevention. Corn should not be gathered until 1t is thoroughly ripe ard 1t should be housed and sheltered so as to be kept perfectly dry as moisture
