GIVES LIFE SAVING TRAIN
Jumps From Handcar, Then Realizes Danger to Passengers and
 Sacrifices H Life,

Muncie, Ind, Oct. 1S-William Bortsfield, a section hand, gave up his life in order to save the South western Limited on the Big Four rail road.
 Bortsfeld was riding on a handcar near this city and did not hear the approach of the fast train until it was almost upon him. He jumped to safety and then, evidently realizing the heavy handcar might wreck the train, ran back to the track and en- deavored to remove the obstruction from the rails.
 The engineer saw the mans danger and sounded the whistle Bortsfield tugged and pushed at the handcar and had just rolled it from the track when the train struck him. The wheels passed over his body and he was in. stantly killed.
 There were 250 passengers on the train, and it is believed a disastrous wreck would have resulted had the car remained on the track.

GREAT AlRSHIP THOUGHT TO BE DRIFTING RAPIDLY TOWARD

DRIVES THROUGH MISTS
outlook Not So Favorable, Says Mes sage Which Tells How Equi- Iibrator Drags From Wave

Siasconsett, Mass, Oct 1S.-With perfect weather conditions and mod crate westerly winds blowing steadily about 20 to 25 miles an hour. the dtrigtble balloon America with Walter Wellman and his crew of five are be- lleved to be more than TOO miles on their way across the Atlantic ocean, and headed straight for the Irish coast.
 They have been up more than 50 hours and already have broken the record for time in the air by dirigi- bles
 The weather conditions could not be more perfect had they been or | dered by the men who are trying to establish new record for lighter | than-air machine. They are able to | husband their supply of gasoline, a 1 fluid that will prove very precious should bad weather be encountered | later, while at the same time the big dirigibe, according to last accounts, is | being held on her course at a speed of not less than 20 miles an hour. Outlook Not So Favorable. | Perhaps the most significant of the messages from Wellman before he got 1 beyond reach of the wireless appa- ratus at Siasconsett was the follow ing:
 The equilibrator is jerking on the airship &s it leaps from wave to wave. but no damage has been done.
 The weather is thick. We believe We are south of Nantucket
 The outlook is not so favorable, but We are keeping up the fight"
 The reason for shutting down the Americas motors while running be- fore the wind is made apparent to eX- perts in the information thus given as to the conduct of the equilibrator. The eqGilibrator is the line of iron gasoline tanks strung on steel cable and reaching down to the sea, where its rising and falling with the eXpan- sion and contraction of the hydrogen in the great bag due to difference of day aAd night temperatures is sup posed to keep the airship within a narrow range of altitude, and to avoid the necessity of letting gas out of the bag when the heat of the midday sun would carry it to too great a height. This devise is the invention of Mel win Vaniman, chief engineer of the America

Public Buildings Bill.

Washington, Feb. 20. That public
buildings bill will be introduced at this
session of Congress and passed is the
belief of good many who had no ex-
pectation Of such thing earlier in the
session.
The change in this respect appears to
have come about through the alarm of
the Republican leaders over the danger
Of losing the next House of Representa-
tiyes. They are quite ready to adopt
any expedient available to stem the
drifting tide. Immense pressure has
been brought to bear for a public build
ings bill and as result numerous bills
have been introduced in the last few
days by Republican members from close
districts or from districts in which there
promises to be vigorous contests.
Among the bills introduced was one
by Serene e. Payne, Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee and floor
leader for the majority of the House.
Mr.. Payne does not introduce bills idly.
It is expected that a flood Of public
buildings bills will at once be intro
duced by members who have come to
realize there is chance for such a
measure, which, at first, they did not
think was atiall probable.
Tennessee is some interested If there
is to be such a bill. Representative
Byrns has introduced two bills. One is
appropriating 100000 for enlarging,
extending and remodeling the custom
house at Nashville and the other $50, boo
for building at Springfield, the site
for which has already been provided
Representative Moon has asked for
an appropriation OF 500, 900 for build
ing at Winchester. Representative
Houston is asking for $10,0 900 addi-
tional for the public buildings at Muir
freesboro and $50, 900 for the building
at Shelbyville, the site for which has
already been secured He has intro
duced bills also tor postoffice buildings
at Tullahoma, Lewisburg and Fayette-
vile, calling for appropriations Of $685.

Candidates Qualify.

Two candidates have already qualified
to run in the primary Of April 2, which
may be held in case the Supreme Court
holds the law valid. John A. Pitts,
Chairman OF the Democratic Primary
Board, states that two candidates fol-
the Lower House Of the Legislature
filed their applications with him last
week to have their names on the bal
lot. Mr.. Pitts states that he expects a
number Of candidates for various Off
ces to qualify this week by filing their
applications.
No fee is required TO qualify. The
fees come later, and are paid into the
various executive committees.
One interesting feature about the pri-
mary, in case it should be held, is that
there would probably be thousands Of
candidates running. The general State
offices would not, OF course, produce SO
many candidates. But for the Legisla-
ture, with 1872 to be elected, there would
certainly be as many as 400 candidates
from the two parties. Then for all the
county offices in each county in the
State there would be candidates from
each party, which in itself would pro-
duce not far from 1900 candidates.
Then ali the county executive commit
tees Of each party, the Congressional
District Committees, and delegates to
the two party conventions to formulate
platforms, there would be literally more
thousands Of candidates.
Under the law each party would elect
one delegate for each 100 votes cast in
the last Presidential election. There
would certainly be not less than 10000
candidates for Office in the primary, and
probably good many more. Nash

Proper instruction.

Definite instruction concerning tn
nature and methods Of prevention
tuberculosis is being given to less tha|
6 per cent. Of the public school chiidre
of the United States according to a bula
letin issued to-day by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis
Recent investigation has shown that
in only nine cities, Washington, d. c.,
Dallas, Tex, Richmond, Va, Pough-
keepsie, n y, Detroit, Mich, Maiden,
Mass, Salem, Mass, Saginaw, Mich.
and Knoxville, Tenn, are special text
books being used or lectures being given
about tuberculosis. In three States and
one Territory, Michigan, Massachusetts,,
North Carolina and Porto Rico, laws
have been passed requiring that instruc-
ton about the nature and methods Of
prevention of tuberculosis be given in
all public schools. In Tennessee, the
State Department OF Education has re-
quested that such instruction be given,
and has issued circulars for that pur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall-cards giving instruction are
hung in every schoolroom and the at
tention Of all children is called to them.
The actual number of children, how
ever, who will this year be taught by
their teachers that tuberculosis is COM
municable, infectious disease, and that
it can be prevented, will not exceed one
million. II the State laws requiring
such instruction were strictly enforced,
at least 2,000,000 children would be
reached
While tuberculosis does not cause as
many deaths among school children as
it does among workingmen or among
infants under five years Of age the Ma
tional Association gives some figures
to show how,serious the disease is among
this class. Based on the census of 1900. |
it is estimated that nearly 100, 900 chill |
dren now in school will die OF tuber-
culosis before they are eighteen years
Of age, or that about G, 400 die annually |
from this disease. Estimating that on
an average each child who dies Of tuber-
culosis has had six years of schooling
the average loss to the country in vast
ed education each year amounts to
81, 152, ,000 According to investiga-
lions made in New York, Boston and
the percentage Of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would
Indicate.
The National Association for the Study
md Prevention Of tuberculosis declares
hat there are two ways OF checking the
.avages of tuberculosis among school
The first way is TO instruct
very school child about the dangers Of
he disease, and to show them how they
themselves may prevent tuberculosis in
heir homes. The second method is to ,
open-air schools for all chill
lren who have tuberculosis or who are
Inspected cases, segregating them from
he healthy children. u
