Baton Rouge.-F. NJ. Kerr, chief en-
gineer of the State Board of Engineers
was a visitor to the city today and
in conference with Governor Sanders
who himself returned to Baton Rouge
from Franklin, where he has been on
personal business. General Kerr is not
in the least worried about the spring
rise. He said that the present rise
does not give indications of being a
serious one. "Of course the situation
may change over night" said Mr..
Kerr. cit is the rains that make the
rise Melted snow and ice alone never
caused serious rise. The weather
bureau reports are very favorable, and
have been so for the past several
days" Mr.. Kerr says that the levees
are in good condition, and would be
able to withstand unusual hing water
Mr.. Kerr was not brought here by the
levees, but to take up several matters
in connection NTH his office with the

The Bolt Made Him Deaf for Time

allows his thoughts to wander and
confuse themselves as they will in the
nearest semblance to sleep of which
he is capable.
Neither Wire nor the physicians who
have studied his case are able to as
sign a cause for the condition, nor can
they explain why it is that he has
retained a state of rubust health for
all these years of insomnia.
He has even done hard manual work
in the open air at frequent intervals
without being able to WOO the coy
goddess of sleep.
The only result at all noticeable
from his long-continued wakefulness
has been loss Of weight in the past
score of years, amounting to between
IS and so pbhhds. He used to weigh
nearly ESQ pounds, and now he tips
the scale at barely 200.
. Wire says he believes that stroke
of lightning he received 80 years ago
might have something to do with his
popularity. though it happened years
before he first suffered with insomnia.
The bolt made him deaf for a time.
He was driving a team of horses into
a barn at the approach of thunder
storm. The horses were knocked dowa
and other men were stunned
For some years while suffering from
insomnia Wire had Job as night

road. but ne never slept during the
days. Mrs. Ware bears him out in tina;

the family. No matter what time one

He listens all through the night to the

LESSONS FROM THE CENSUS

State lines do not coincide with
natural divisions and the census
might be made to tell interesting
stories that may lie concealed, if
figures were massed according to
other divisions. That the popu-
latlon of Iowa has declined by
1900 in the past decade is re-
markable enough; but a more
striking result appears when
geographical, rather than a po-
litical area, is considered.
Bounded by the Mississippi on
the east, the Missouri on the
south, the Missouri and the Big
Sioux on the west, and the south
ern boundary Of Minnesota on
the north, is, an area of $4,000
square miles, or nearly one-third
larger than all New England.
1t comprises the entire state OF
Iowa and the northernmost A
counties of Missouri.
There is probably no other por-
ton of the United States of equal
extent which contains a larger
portion of good farming land.
The last decade has been one of
exceptional prosperity-yet in
this entire region there now live
100, 600 fewer people than resid-
ed there 10 years ago. Outside
the cities Of more than Is, OOQ in
habitants the decrease in popula-
tlon since 1900 has been upward
of 14O, 900. This is q kind of
story that the boldest prophet
would not have ventured to pre-
dict as possibility a quarter Of
q century ago, and is we'll worth
the careful attention of political
students today. - New York

TO LIMIT COLD STORAGE.

A senatorial committee, OF
which Senator Hepburn is chair
man, has been formulating dur
ing the summer recess a report
upon the question as to whether
the continuous retaining of fresh
meats, eggs, butter and other
food products in cold storage
warehouses causes the quality to
deteriorate. The report, it is an
ticipated, will also deal with the
question as to whether or not the
cold storage process has been
used or can be used to unfairly
advance the price of food pro-
ducts. The report will be based
upon large amount Of testimony
taken before the Committee on
Manufactures, and in connection
with the report a bill will be in
troduced in the Senate which
will provide for the regulation Of
the cold storage of foods that
come under interstate traffic reg
ulations.
Any national cold storage act
to be generally effective must be
supplemented by state laws.
The big Western butchering con-
Germs now have cold storage
plants in every important city in
the country, and a national law
that would place a time limit on
the storage of foods would not
touch these concerns. Neither
would it affect the plants where
eggs and butter are kept under
frigid temperatures until the
market price can be lacked up to
a figure that looks good to the
company that is storing these
table commodities. The national
law, unsupported by state laws,
will be a general failure because
foods from wherever they may
be produced can be shipped to
and stored within the limits of
the state where they will be con-
sumed. For instance, foods
shipped from Chicago to Omaha
slaughter-houses to Baltimore
and stored there could rot be
touched by the national law, even
though they were withheld from
the market for five years, unless
they were again to be shipped
outside the state. There would
be no reason for shipping outside
the state, because in every other
state there would be plants car
rying a cold stored surplus.
The national law will, however,
be valuable as a guide to the
states. Some Of the states have
already undertaken to regulate
cold storage by statutory enact
ment. The investigation by gov
ernment officials will at least |
shed much light upon both the |
question as to what extent cold
storing deteriorates foods and
the other question as to the use
that is made of the cold storage
scheme in manipulating prices.
