ANNUAL REPORT OF
 THE STREET cOMMISS SSIONER
Much Work Accomplished Within the
 Appropriations by G. E. Fellows.

Tn the annual report Street Commis- sioner Fellows made to the common council, it states that two of the old horses died during the year and one was sold Two new ones were bought and two others should be replaced by younger ones, and thereafter there should be one new one each year. One new watering trough has been placed at the junction of Boswell avenue and Franklin street and one reset in West Main street. The care of the new pub lie comfort station has been added to this account for care, water and light The barn has been remodeled for horses and the inside is at present in first class condition, but new root of some kind is needed, as the present slate is in bad condition. The sweep ing of the block paving cost $4,51341, and 11,432 bags of sweepings were carted away.
 have done the street sprinkling. One lot of emulsion was used. but it was not up to expectations. On streets fit to receive it, it is recommended that coating of tarvia B with sand or crushed stone be used. It can be put on for three or four cents a year and has been successfully used here.
 The garbage and ashes have been taken with very few complaints. There were 4,667 loads at a cost of $5,999.62, or an average cost per load of SIPS.
 Owing to the dry season the clean ing of catchbasins has been light. The spring street sewer has been renewed for about 75 feet a new 12-inch sewer has been' laid in Roath street, and nu- merous catchbasins have been built and several others are needed The sewer in Yantic street should be re- newed, costing about $1.o0O. The Crescent street sewer was built at a cost of S2,038.56. The new steam road roller was bought from the appropria = ton and the old roller with a few dol lars additional.
 Union square was macadamized and laid in tarvia part of Laurel Hill ave- nue and Thames street has been re- paired. Washington street West Main, Mckinley avenue and part of Broad way have had the holes repaired. The coming year $e.000 will be needed for macadam repairs.
 Forty trees have been taken down and about 100 trimmed. The trees can be cared for for the same amount as last year. but to save from elm beetles an additional $500 for spraying should be appropriated.
 The School street sewer has been built and the public comfort station was built inside the appropriation. Outside of surveying and taking out some stone, nothing has been done on the Sachem street macadam. because an injunction was secured by the rail- way company The widening of West Main street has been done as far as

 Street Lighting.
 Alderman Robinson in behalf of the police commissioners spoke relative to the street lighting and the overdraft. He said that there had been many pe- titions for lights which had not been reported upon The commissioners have guarded their appropriation care fully as it was cut at the city meet ing Being unable to tell until the close just what the cost would be. as the city furnishes at cost, the excess was unavoidable. Owing to lack of funds no report has been made on pe- titions for new lights. Mayor Lippitt spoke on the careful way the commis- : sioners had worked, only one bug light being added to the lights of a year ago. The committees of the several departments are to be congratulated on the way they have kept inside of the appropriations. T know the com munity is pleased" said the mayor, and I am"
 Expression of Thanks.
 As the meeting was about to ad- journ sine die, Mayor Lippitt said: appreciate the courtesy and help ex- tended me by every member of the court of common council this year and the year before. There has been noth- ing in any meeting to cause regret. The business has been carried on ex- peditiously and with good results, and you have my heartfelt appreciation He thanked the clerk for his faithful work and assistance and also the corpora ton council and the press.

L0CUSTS THICK IN AUSTRIA
American Traveller Saw the School.
boys Killing Them by the Mil.
lions Near Trieste.

IF the locust has left the United
States it hasn't become extinct. Last
year l saw them being killed by the
millions in Austria, 80 or 40 miles
from Trieste" said Alfred Darter of
Des Moines. 1--WE were going through
the mountain country on a sightseeing
tour. Two or three times during one
forenoon our attention was attracted
by crowds Of boys in the fields. MY
curiosity got the better Of me, and l
learned that they were collecting 10
Gusts. It seems that the province Of
Goerz was literally overrun by these
insects. The schoolboys had been or.
gan1zed into companies for the exter.
mination of the locusts.
Each school was under the com.
mand of the master. The young 10.
Gust fighters would scrape up the In.
sects with their queer-looking instru.
ments and dump them into tin rece1>
tacles. Then the locusts would be
scalded. The boys got about four
cents an hour from the government
for the work, and prizes were given
to the schools which captured the
most locusts. I heard that about II
or II carloads of the insects had been
killed up to that time in that section
Of the country. "-Washington Herald

HARD LUCK.
HEALERs LAND IN PRISON
Clad In Imposing Robes They Seek
Financial Help to Unearth Vast
Fortune Which the Late "Eiijah"
Was Alleged to Have Buried.

st. Joseph. Mo.-A story of $20.O00,'
600 buried on an island in the sea led
to the arrest here Of the REV. Bish-
op" Schrader, who sometimes calls
himself Schlatter, asserting he Is the
original divine healer" and DIR.
James Alexander Dowie, who asserts
that he is a brother of the late John
Alexander Dowie OF Zion City. The
original Schlatter, as a divine heal
er," attracted wide attention at Den:
yer a decade ago.
Dowie and Schrader came to St.,
Joseph about two weeks ago. Clad in
imposing robes, they held meetings
nightly in the streets and invited the
crowds to call upon them at their
rooms, where they undertook to heal
the sick by the laying on Of hands,
free of charge.
One of the persons who accepted
the invitation to call upon Dowie and
Schrader was a local real estate
agent, and the heaiers, it is declared,
told him that if he had sufficient con.
fidence in them to entrust them with
1920 in cash, they would make him
g. millionaire several times over. The
real estate man had that confidence.
According to the tale said to have
been unfolded, upon a pledge that it
would not be revealed tv another liv-
ing soul, Elijah" Dowie had $20,OO0,-
600 in gold buried in an island in the
Gulf of Mexico, off the coast Of Hon.

amounted to $4OO00,O00. it was said,

the measles for the first time in her

How and when she was exposed to
the contagion she does not know nor

as ever broke up a village school.
Mrs. Henderson lives with her house
keeper and there are 30 children
about the house; neither has there
been an epidemic of measles in the
immediate neighborhood.
A few days ago Mrs. Henderson be-
came Ill and called DR.. Jessie M. Nc
Gavin. The measles were present
when the doctor arrived, but Mrs,
Henderson has not suffered a great
deal and is now rapidly recovering.
DR.. c. H. Wheeler, city health Of
flcer, in speaking of tho case said:
This Is great climate. Now It pro-
duces a case Of measles in a woman
sixty-six years old. It is very rarely
that = person. of advanced years
catches the measles, although there
is no age limit Of exemption. never
heard OF anyone Of that age having

History Of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used In
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $1,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
600 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,O00 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
In 1910"
