frequently been crowned with victory
on Wednesday won the greatest race

at $3.50 O'Clock in the morning hav-
ing travelled by-aeroplane from Lon
don, distance by railway of more
than $50 miles, with only a single
stop over night at Lichfleld.
His unfortunate competitor in the
contest, Graham White, the English
aviator, for some unexplained reason
after making a successful new start
at Roade, where he made his first
landing, descended at Polesworth.
The winning of the prize involved
one of the most sensational contests
that has ever occurred in Great Brit
ain.
White a few days ago attempted
the trip. but was compelled to des-
cend at Lichfield, after covering 115
miles. Paulhan then appeared on
the scene and the two aviators made
hasty preparations for the fight, each
striving to be first at the start. Paul
han stole a march on the Englishman
ascending from Hendon at $3.50 p. m.
White who was sleeping peacefully
at the time was appraised of this fact
and made a quick start from Park

leaders OF the Senate and House are
now planning to get through with all
of the business of the session and adj
iourn June L. They are sure that
the big appropriation bills can be
passed before that time. and they
have made list of the administra-

are:
The Arizona and New Mexico sep
arate statehood bill.
The bill creating a bureau OF mines
and mining.
The bill authorizing the president to
withdraw public lands from home
stead entry, one of the conservation
measures
The railroad bill.
The postal savings bank bill.
The first three have already passed
the house. The last has passed the
Senate. The railroad bill is being
debated in both the Senate and the
House at present and probably will
be passed by both bodies and sent to
conference by the end of two weeks
Outside Of these the House has yet
to pass the sundry civil and the gen
eral deficiency appropriations bills,
which will not take more than a
week If little speed is put on.

EAST SEWER SYSTEM
Board To-day Hears Objection to Plan
ned Seventh Ward Inn
provement.

A public hearing for the DIRECTORS to
the proposed new sewer to take care
of the east half of the hill district in
the Seventh ward was held this morn
ing and large number of the inter
ested parties were present, but only
four entered objections. The propos-
ed sewer is to drain the hill district
from Thirty-eighth street to the east
ern limits of the city. The west half
of the ward is we'll taken care of by
the sewer which is just being built and
the citizens in the other half want the
same advantages. 1t is estimated that
the improvement will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
AS a result of the meeting this morn
ing the board of local Improvements
will recommend to the council that an
ordinance calling for the sewer be
drawn up and passed and the work
commenced in the spring.

TYPHOID FEVER IN
CITY; NO EPIDEMIC
Health Commissioner Attributes Dis
ease to Unsanitary Streets and
Alleys.

The existence of some cases of ty-
phoid fever has led to the impression
that there is an epidemic in the city.
but only four cases have been report
ed by physicians to the health commits
sioner, c. N. Mueller. 1t is the opin-
ion of many people that the typhoid
fever patients have contracted their
illness by drinking river water, but
Health Commissioner Mueller stated
today that he thought the cases had
been caused more probably by the I'M
sanitary condition of the streets and
alleys than by germs in the water.
However, he has sent to Urbana for
containers and will forward samples
of river water and one sample of well
water when he receives the containers.
The water will be tested at the univeT-
sity' laboratory.
Even though it is not certain that
typhoid fever is being caused by the
water. the residents of this city should
take the proper precautions and either
boil the water which they use or should
use the artesian water.

TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM,
Novel Experiment TO Improve Country
Life In Virginia.

Novel Experiment to Improve Country
Life In Virginia.
With the cooperation of the United
States department of agriculture, Su-
perintendent of Public instruction j.
D. Eggleston, Jr., recently launched
the first practical movement looking
to the end advocated by writer's and
speakers during the last few years of
keeping the Virginia boys on the
farms of the commonwealth.
Mr.. Eggleston's plan, which he COM
municated to twenty division school
lection of two to six boys from
each of two to ten schools in each
county. These boys are to be given
the use of an acre of land by parents,
are to be aided by the government
demonstrators and are to receive in
struction from their teachers. 1t is
suggested that after the crop is gath
cred exhibits or fairs be held in each
county and prizes offered for the best
showing. Corn growing alone is con-
templated this year
The boys, who must be regular at
tendants in the public schools, are to
be chosen by the superintendent.
Each boy selected shall have on his
home place one acre of land. On this
acre, which is not to be the best acre
nor the worst, but an average one, the
boy is to raise a crop of corn under
the definite instruction of the govern
ment demonstration, assisted by the
teacher. He is to bind himself to fol-
low carefully the instructions laid down
by the demonstration agents through
their circulars and bulletins.
The superintendent are instructed to
select not less than two nor more than
ten schools in the county, preferably
of the consolidated type, in which to
begin. The work is not to be attempt
ed at any school where the teacher
cannot or will not take hold of it with
sympathy and determination. In each
Of the schools there are to be selected
from two to six boys who are willing
to take up the work during the year.
No boy is to be chosen whose parent
or guardian will not permit him to
have the acre of land. either free or
rented at a reasonable rent by the boy,
to cultivate as directed and to own all
the products of his labor when the
crop is gathered.
