FALSE ALARM STARTS A PANIC
Frantic Mothers And shrieklng Chi dren Stop New York Traffic
 for An Hour.

New York. June 19-Two simuItane ous fires and false report of an explo. sion temporarily closed three public schools with an attendance of more than 4,000 pupils, blocked all traffic on Grand street for an hour, and was not quieted until the police reserves were called out.
 A fire engine hurrying by a school that houses 2,300 pupils caused a girl to scream and in a minute the hall ways were filled with shrieking fight ing boys and girls. Panic stricken mothers from nearby tenements were clawing and kicking at the outside of the street doors. As if by pre-arrange- ment, another passing engine chafed the nerves of another set of children in a second school. The rumor spread through that the school was on fire Before the crowds could get to if there was shout that a third school had been blown up by the Black Hand Then there was no holding the people Parents fought with the police for oher children and many were torn and bruised in the scuffle. All traf1c came to a stop and 1t was long oefore order was restored.

NOBODY WANTED II
Antimony. Once Promising Much. Goes Back to State for
 Taxes.

The entire town of Antimory, located in the corner of Howard county near the poipt where Howard, Polk and Sevier coun- ties converge, has reverted to the state, as a result of the fail- ure of anyone to bid on the prop erty when it was offered for sale for taxes.
 The town ot Anthony was at one time live and promising community, being the center of the antimony deposits, which promised at one time to be of great value. It has been claimed that these deposits of antimony are the largest in the world, but for some reason the plans that were made for the development of the deposits were abandoned. About 20 years ago steps were taken looking toward the devel. opment of the antimony deposits. The American Antimony Mining Company, which was made up entirely of foie eign investors, most of whom are said to have been residents of England, spent a large amount of money in the in- stallatiou of an extensive plant. A smelter was built and every preparation made for the opening up of the mines on large scale. A town, which was known as Antimony, sprang up near the mine. and for time had a con- siderable number of residents.
 For some reason the company abandoned the mine after a small amount of ore had been taken out, and with the abandonment of the mine the town was soon deserted.
 The taxes have not been paid on the land on which the town was located, and the property was offered for sale when the de- linquent tax lands of Howard county were put under the ham, mer this week. Not a bid was made on any of the property iu- cluded in the town, and as a re. suit the land will go to the state.

PANAMA GOOD OBJECT LESSON
All Nations VIII Profit by the sanl- tary Standard Set by Great
 Undertaking.

The building of the Panama canal and the sanitary record of the Jap. anese in their war with Russia are the two great object lessons of recent years, demonstrating that men can neither work nor fight to the best ad- vantage unless protected from infec- uous and preventable diseases.
 The civilized nation which will here after put an army in the field or un. dertake great engineering problem without first preparing the way by adequate sanitary engineering and equipment will be regarded hv the other nations. says the Medical News. as quite as foolish as government which would build a vast fleet of mod. ern warships and then arm them with muzzle-loading ordnance of 100 years ago.
 An epidemic of typhoid fever in a military camp should be considered a greater disgrace to an army than a de. feat in battle since defeat may come In spite of the greatest exertions and the highest wisdom, while typhoid and yellow fever would be the result Of ignorance or disregard of well. known laws of prevention. All nations Will profit by the sanitary lesson of the Panama canal.
 The scourge of yellow fever against which the French struggled in vain. has not been there since May. 1906 although 1t exists at several points to the north and south of the canal zone. Bubonic plague has not appeared since August. 1905. but that disease also has broken out not far away. No case of smallpox has been reported during the year.
