Carter IL. Harrison. who has just
been elected mayor of Chicago for the
fifth time, has duplicated the record
made by his father. who was elected
five times. but he will surpass it in the
number of years represented by those
terms. for the term for which the son
has Just been chosen will be for foul
years instead of two. making a total
of twelve years. Born in Chicago fifty
one years ago. the new mayor, through
his father is a descendent of early Vir-
ginia and Kentucky families. After a
preparatory education in the public
schools of Chicago and a German
gymnasium the son entered ST. lgna-
tius college in Chicago, from which he
was graduated in 1881. He received
the degree of IL B. in 1883.
Mr.. Harrison practiced law in Chi.
cago from 1888 to 1890 and in 1891
took up the real estate business with
his brother. William Preston Harrison
The two brothers became editors and
publishers of the old Chicago Times
which was sold in 1894.
1t was in 1897 that Mr.. Harrison ac.
lively took up the fight for political
honors. Robert E. Burke attended to
his campaign. and he defeated a

TO REARRANGE STARS
IN THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Ansberry Plan Would Make It Easy to
Add Star at Any Time.

Representative Timothy L. Ansberry
has introduced a bill at Washington
which provides for the Encouragement
of the stars In the American flag. The
plan which Mr.. Ansberry proposes. he
says, will make it easy to add star
at any time a state may be admitted
without disturbing the general sym
metry of the design.
At the present time there are forty
six stars in the flag, but If New Mexico
and Arizona are admitted at the pres
ent session of congress provision Will
have to be made for two more stars.
There are six rows of stars in the
present flag. four of them containing
eight stars each and the remaining two
seven each. From top to bottom the
six rows are as follows: Eight. seven,
eight. eight, seven and eight. Previ.
Gus to the admission of Oklahoma.
when there were forty-five stars, there
Were three rows of eight and three Of
seven, beginning with an eight stal
row at the top.
Mr. Ansberry's bill is worded in
somewhat technical mathematical
terms, but the design is quite simple
when drawn out on paper. The bill
amends sections 1891 and 1892 of the
revised statutes as follows:
Section 1871. The flag of the United
States shall he thirteen horizontal
stripes. alternate red and white, and
the union of the flag shall be as many
stars, white in a blue field. as there
are states, the stars to he arranged uni.
form in distance from one another in
five arcs in combination the centers OF
the arcs to be the apices of regular
pentagOn, the radius of the arcs to be
equal to one-fourth the distance of the
stars from center to center.
"Section 1892. Stars for the new states
shall be added to the union of the flag
by extending the arcs, and such addi'
tions shall take effect on the 4th day
of July then next succeeding such ad
mission"

in Manhattan, four in the Bronx, ten
in Brooklyn, seven in Queens and
three in Richmond. If accepted as
satisfactory, they will be placed in all
of the schools.
The type of fountain agreed upon for
the test is a nickeled fountain arrang-
ed with a mouthpiece. The pupil will
release the water. which is at low
pressure. by placing thumb tips upon
opposite sides of the rim of the foun-
tain and pressing downward. The
mouthpiece is in the center of the
space between the thumbs.
Opposition to the drinking cups has
been led by the medical societies, par
ents' association and other organiza-
tions for years. All of these COM
plants recognized danger to health
and a home for germs in the tin cup of
the old days.

MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE LOSING THEIR SIGHT.
Light Coming IN Through Windows Af-
fects Those Seated Near Them.

In a recent physical examination Of
the school children Of River Forest,
ILL.,, it was found that 50 per cent of
those in need of medical attention
were suffering from defective vision,
says w. L. Nida in the Good House
keeping Magazine. A study of con-
ditions in these schools and many
others has disclosed the fact that pu-
pills who are seated at the rows of
desks by the windows are subjected
to flood of light rays coming direct
from the open sky and striking their
faces at such an angle as to cause Sc
we're exhaustion.
Their eyes are in danger of being
permanently injured, not only because
of the wrong direction Of the light, but
also by the undue amount received
These alarming conditions are known
to prevail in almost all schoolrooms
in the land, and open minded inves-
tigators may be convinced of the truth
of this by themselves occupying for q

required to sit in for ten months of the

LINCOLN FUNERAL
CAR DESTROYED
Historic Relic Of Latter Days Of
Civil War Burned.
ITS INTERESTING HISTORY.

Built In Military Car Shops at Old
Alexandria, Va, For Special Use of
President and Cabnet-Later Be-
came Official Car of the Union Pacific
Abraham Lincoln's funeral car was
recently destroyed at Columbia
Heights, suburb of Minneapolis
Prior TO its use as funeral car il
was the private carriage of the mar
tyred president. 1t carried his body
from Washington to Springfield, H.,
for burial in 1865. Fragments of the
ruins will be given away as relics.
The car had been exhibited in all
parts of the United States and had be-
come well known everywhere. Its
most notable exhibit was in the Lin
coin museum at the st. Louis worlds
fair in 1904. 1t was considered one
of the country's most sacred relics
outside the Liberty bell.
The car was built in the military
car shops at old Alexandria, Va, in
1868 for the special use of President
Lincoln and his cabinet. He loved the
car and used it much, and it therefore
was used to carry his body to Spring
field. Lincoln was shot April A. 1865,
and the trip to Springfield began early
on the morning of April 20. Lines of
people stood with barred heads as it
passed through the many towns and
cities along the way. Three years be-

The Cars History.
The car was then returned to the
shops where it was built and left un-
til June of the same year. when it
was used to convey the body of Mrs.
w. II. Seward. wife of the secretary
of state under Lincoln, to her former
home in Auburn, n. Y. The car was
sold in 1866 to r. c: Durant. who was
then building the Union Pacific road.
1t was used as the official car of the
line for many years, or until its stand
ard of luxury had been surpassed by
later models.
Next it was found in common use
on the mountain lines in Colorado and
then sidetracked to rot away, its days
Of usefulness being over. In 1899 1t
was exhibited at the Omaha worlds S
fair. Vandals at that time splintered
one of its sides. Franklin b. Snow
bought it from the Union Pacific in
1908, and it was placed in a museum
constructed especially for it mt the st.
Louis exposition. After that the late
Thomas Lowry bought it and brought
1t to Minneapolis An iron fence had
been built around it. and thousands of
visitors viewed it, A crate was buiht

That the property is to be extended a sys- tenn of large development was also stated, several car loads of machinery being en route from the east, while under construction is the installation of a concentrating plant that will treat 200 tons of ore a day. The equipment will be of large capacity and a practical line of development will be started Immediately.
 The mines are among the best known in this county and have been operated by many miners, principally for gold in the early days. Depth has changed the mineral character of the ores, zine and lead now being the principal values. The deepest IS 450-foOt shaft with hundreds of feet in drifts and crosseuts An ir.- meRse tonnage is on the dumps and exposed in the lower workings.

ARTEsIAN WATER
 DEVELOPED IN VALLEY
(From Wednesdays Daay.)

County Assessor E. Campbell, who has returned from the Verde valley, brings the important informa- tion that artesian water at two places on the ranch of David Scott has at last been determined and for the time being the oil excitement that has been expressing public attention for several weeks, gives way to the feverish excitement that has suddenly seized the people to devote their time to ar industry that passes from the prOblematical to the real. MT. Camp bell states that in Jerome the in terest is also intense, and the situa- tion is akin to the old boom days when mining held the boards. Going into details, he states that he person ally investigated this artesian water field, which is situated about eight miles from Jerome and one mile south of the Verde river, on what is commonly known as the valley table lands. At this point, MT. Scott drill ed one eight inch hole few weeks ago, and when a depth of 230 feet had been reached, an artesian flow of about 12O gallons minute was developed. This determination was lightly weighed and the ineredulOus were inclined to not consider the demonstration as worthy of more than passing attention, owing to the sIallow depth and the prevailing Opin- ion that the well would soon drain itself. At that time the flow from the well was 12O gallons a minute. In order to arrive at a definite con- clusion as to the existence of a sub terranean flow ou this principle and to satisfy himself thoroughly, MT. Scott selected a point about a quarter of a mile distant from the original well, and started the bore down. Late last week the bit reached a depth of 255 feet. or D feet deeper than well No. l, when a light flow came to the surface. Continuing to a point 215 feet deep the flow increased pereeptl- bly, and is now measured at over 400 gallons a minute The original well has maintained its normal output for over three weeks at l2O gallons minute. So elated is the owner over his success, that he proposes to re- turn to well No. l and to sink it to a depth of 400 feet, and if the flow is maintained at the measurement in well No. 3. he will also drill the lat ter to the above depth also
 Mr. Campbell believes that artesian water will be encountered upon all of the so-called mesa lands of the Verde valley, which lie above the line of irrigating ditche, and cannot be reached on a gravity flow from that source. These lands are uneul-
