Secretary Mayer Levi of Industrial
Commission Gets Favorable Re-
ply From l.. Nj. Allen.

Recently it became known that the
trunk line railroads were extending
through passenger stop-oyer privileges
at number of the leading cities along
the routes, and it occurred TO Mayer
Levi, secretary of the Rock Island
Industrial commission, that the tri-
cities should have this advantage at
: the hands of the Rock Island road.
Through F. H. Plummer, city passen-
ger agent, he took up the matter with
l.. nj. Allen, general passenger agent
of the Rock Island, asking. for 10
days stop in Rock Island, and pointing
out that this vicinity is rich in points
Of scenic and historic interest, and its
commercial Industries are such as to
induce many transients given such
privileges to locate permanently here.
Expects Favorable Action.
Mr.. Allen. in reply received today
states that the matter has been taken
up by S. F. Boyd, division passenger
agent at Davenport, and adding, THE
question is now being considered, and
l feel assured the matter will be given
favorable consideration. | shall pur-

a number, of townships in Rock Is

justices of the peace and constables as
a result of the failure to qualify by

failure has been brought about by the

Starved Amid PLENTY.

There lies in the morgue this morn
ing the body Of an unidentified man who
died in this city OF starvation. A man
who starved to death in Pittsburg
amid wealth unEivaled by that Of Or
mus and Of Ind.
This is a curious truth. an odd
thing. an event that must strike every
beholder as a thing at variance with
the natural order. 1t rs a fact so pih-
full that 1t wrings the heart and brings
tears more scalding because they are
futile to restore life to the inanimate
form on the marble slab.
Starved to death where there is food
and riches! II is a strange thing! It
is haunting mysteryI 1t cannot be
helped for the victim is beyond aid.
but this pitiful sacrifice can serve
to arouse us all to the needs of others
and to the duty of driving away the
specter!-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Rurian CurfaIns-

Ordinary burlap, of the potato sack
and the cotton bale, may be used with
most artistic and satisfactory effect IN
the home. Artists have realized this
for years in the decoration Of their
studios. Burfap may be bought for
eight cents a yard and it comes IN
pleasing colors. The coarser the weave
the better. Curtains for doorways,
bookshelves and the drapery curtains
OF windows are particularly go6d in
this material. Such curtains are much
added 2 by a. bit of handwork in the
form OF hemstitch1ng along the top and
bottom, Since the material Is coarse
and loosely woven the threads may be
readily drawn and the needlework will
be comparatively simple. The open.
work should be about an inch wide, on
a three-inch hem. It looks best
usually when used on top and bottom
although many people prefer it around
the bottom and up the side on the In
ner edge.

/ used to be in the Yellowstone Ma

routes BY which the tenderfeet of the
present day see the wonders Of nature
and occasionally the wonderful nerve
OF the hlghWayman. Naturally the old
trails led along q different course from
the present roads, for Re used to take
the shortest way across and where we
could not ride we would walk and lead
our ponies.
One day l was riding between the
upper and the lower geyser basin and
my pony and l came to a creek which
looked as If 1t would be pleasant to
taste. l stopped the nag to taste the
water. but the pony beat me to It. He
had his muzzle buried up to his eyes
IN an instant and in less than half that
une he had Y back out with a roar

and caught him again. Then all of the
mar was on his muzzle from his eyes

with bacon fat and made the nag az
comfortable as possible. 1t was neces-
sary that l should ride him. for l had
an appointment on the banks of Vel
fowstone Lake with the rest OF the
party, and turned his nose gently in
that direction.
Next day we came to a stream
which came directly out of a snow
pank and the pony. depending upon
that sign of GOODNESS, put his head
down and took another drink. The re-
suit was that his mouth and nostrils
shrunk up so that he could no longer
whinny or breathe. Within two min.
utes he was dead Investigation
showed that he had drunk from an
alum spring; what we believed to be
snow was alum crystals. 1 stripped

BREATHING Room.

The great atmospheric ocean
presses around US everywhere. but at
the bottom the currents are often slug
gish, and in the area OF great cities
where the life swarms in the gaseous
ocean are dense the mass of the life
fluid may easily become poisoned with
gasses. Every open space in the
densely settled sections Of great cities
adds to the breathing room and so to
the general wholesomeness. Parks
and open squares are the lungs of a
big city. They are not only phases
of resort that offer a gratifying change
but they actually assist the move
ment OF air currents of the streets and
alleys. The multiplication of chill
dren's play grounds in large cities dur
hg recent years has resulted in i'm
mensely promoting the open-air habits
or the growing generation. We are
at last getting away from the theories
handed down to us from our remote
ancestors-the cave dweners. We are
coming more and more to initiate the
ancestry that antedated the cave men
we are learning the tonic power that
comes from living in the open air. In
the summer time especially we need
plenty Of breathing space and we
should not be too squeamish about let.
ting the sunshine directly down on us
now and then.

Kansas the ProvIder.

One more of the unfailing record

from the fertile and dependable state
of Kansas, says Golfers Weekly.
The secretary of the Kansas state
board OF agriculture says: 1t ap-
pears that Kansas has a vast area
of prospecting wheat safely past the
perils OF winter" Six million and
ninety-two thousand acres are sown
and standing. There is a crop condi-
ton of SS.05 per cent. on these 5000.
900 acres. With favorable weather,
the wheat crop will be 100, 900. 900
bushels. So there is a happy sum.

employed as are able to reach the
wheat fields at harvest time, and for
college boys getting ahead on the

alternately singing a verse in honor
OF the prince and his warlike deeds.
The kolo is always danced at any
great national festival, and the effect
OF the sonorous voices and swayfnR
ring is very fine. Then there is an.
other dance performed by four or five,
usually youths, to the accompaniment
OF fiddle, the leader setting a lot
OF intricate quick steps which the rest
initiate at once. 1t is really a sort
