Sparks from locomotives in NOV

age in hay and wheat fields three
fourths of a mile east of Milan yes
terday. In the morning, shortly
after II o'clock, the wheat in the
held of Elmer Hanes was set aflre
and before 1t &C lid be checked 40
acres OF the nearly dry grain had
been consumed and the same amount
of hay had been burned also. The
hay was on the property Of the
Crawford brothers. The loss amounts
to nearly $4,000. Through hard
work, neighbors who were attracted
by the smoke and flames saved the
buildings on the farms by beating
the fire and blowing burrows across
It's pathway.
In the afternoon 20 acres of wheat
on an adjoining farm, owned by Paul
Jahns, were burned, the fire having
started from sparks thrown from the
smokestack of the same engine
which was then on its way to Pc
oria. The blaze started at 2 o'clock
and again neighbors saved hundreds
of acres of grain and produce as well
as numerous buildings and imple-
ments. The loss is $1,000.

City Chat
THE TONE OF VOICE.

It is not SO much what you say,
As the manner which you say It;
It is not SO much the language you use
As the tone in which you convey it
The words may be mild and fair.
And the words may pierce like
dart;
The words may be soft as the sum
mer air,
And the tone may break the heart
For the words come but from the mind,
And grow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from the in
ner self,
And reveal the state of the heart.
Whether you know 1t or not,
Whether you mean or care.
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate.
Envy and anger are mere.
Then would you quarrels avoid,
And in peace and love rejoice,
Keep anger not only out of your words.
But keep it out of your voice.
Selected.

soundings to make a safe landing with most troublesome craft.
 James Weatherly is approaching his new job with about the same feeling of trepi- dation that a schoolboy approaches the platform to deliver his first public speech or the young man approaches his future father-n-law with the petition that is to decide his future form of servtude.
 He is weighed down with the feeling of responsibility and within himself is pre- pairing for the strenuous duties of his new olive determined to give the work the very best that is in him. If he falls to do his full duty to this great city and It's people 1t will be physical failure and not one of the mind and heart.
 MT. Weatherly, while he has never held or sought public office, has always been close student of political and public questions He is what might be termed an academic politician. His chief study outside of law is that of current events and political economy.
 He is well fitted by long study for the peculiar duties that are about to be re- posed in him and the other commissioners on the board.
 He Is a man without hobby. He has often expressed the need and a desire for one to make him like other men. He be- leves that some diverting hobby tends to round out the man, makes him take life less seriously and makes his working parts sounder and more pliant for the rest they receive.

VIRGINIA GAMBLERS
 WIN SIGNAL VICTORY
Magistrate Dismisses From Custody Two Alleged Book
 makers

Norfolk, Va, April 6.-Race track bet ting in Virginia won a signal victory today when Magistrate K. Q. Backus dismissed from custody Fred Miller and William flicker, laymen, who were ar rested at the close of the first days events at the Jamestown Jockey club S tracks yesterday for alleged bookmaking in violation of the Virginia statutes.
 This Is practically final because even should a special grand jury, which meets on Monday next, take up the cases, they are not felonies under the law and, be- ing misdemeanors, must be remanded back to magistrates court for trial.
 The testimony today showed that there was no special plant where the layers worked; that they occupied no stands or specific spot for betting, and that the clerk who recorded the bets was nothing more than a stakeholder
 The defense contended that under the law only an occupant who puts up q stand or booth and therefrom conducts betting commits violation of the Vir- ginia laws. The defense held further that the layers were not the occupants" but were simply on the track at the pleasure of the occupants or owners.

You can never tell where lightning will strike.
 Though it Is an easy bet that tall tim- Der or towering objects stand in the most danger.
 James Weatherly of Birmingham stands high not only in this city, but in the state. He is one of the leaders in his profession, but has never cared for or sought the honors and the responsibilities of public service.
 He has never held an elective or ap- pointve office with the exception of serv- ing as delegate from Jefferson county 10 the last constitutional convention.
 When he was offered a place on the new Birmingham commission he tried to wig gle He backed off from 1t with hand some modesty not because he was averse 10 giving a share of his life service to the people, but because of the tremendous sacrifice and the very great responsibility that he realized would rest upon his head He realized that the thing was loaded and he backed up short.
 But his friends and those interested in the success of the new form of govern ment, as well as the governor, who held the appointing power, prevailed upon him and he agreed to accept if the governor insisted.
 He was as much surprised at his ap- pointmept as most of his friends who nao not been taken into the confidence of the governor who for weeks before the ap- pointment was announced made many
