vator, coal and lumber sheds compos-
ing Asbury station were burned to
the ground in fire probably started
by spark from a passing train. The
fire was discovered by Mr.. Monson,
the proprietor of the yard, in the coal
sheds as he came from dinner shortly
after one o'clock. He gave the emer-
gency call over telephone for help
and the farmers from all over that
part of the country answered but lit
tie could be done as there was no wat
er to be had and the high wind had
blown the blaze into veritable wall
of fire, too hot for anyone to venture

THE LOST ART OF SPELLING.

The rising and even the risen gen eration cannot spell. our schol chil- Gren cannot spell. our college gradu- ates cannot spell. The dean Of a post stgraduate department of one "i cur universities complained few years ago that the men who came before him to qualify to study pro- fession could not spell. The trustees Iof one of our large institutions. which by it's charter requires all its officers tO possess the degree or bachelor of arts (even that of E. S- rot being acceptedD find that tn" aforesaid E. As. when confronted | by the severe mental effort of writ | ing necessary reports. cannot spell So insurmountable is the difficulty, that the advocates of simplified spell ' irg join forces with the advertisers | in search of a trade mark, and both of them affOrnt our eyes and insult our intelligence with their horrid makeshifts.
 The fault cannot be entirely that of the English language. Fifty years ago the case was different, as IS proved by the survivors from that primitive period Your grandmothei if you are- lucky enough to have one-may not know the difference betwen the subjective and the Ob- jective, but she can spell. Let Il: see if we can find the reason.

 days even the boarders in summe hotels played spelling games. and ar

PROVIDENCE FAVORS STREET DEPARTMENT
Second Avenue Drain Water Seeks Surface and Problem Is Tenn porarily Solved.

Street Superintendent Griggs Carr smiled last evening just before he closed his office for the day. It was happy smile, in spite of the rain. which makes extra work for his de- partment.
 X problem which has been troubling Carr for some time. and one that was before the council Friday evening: was the disposition of the big sur face drainage pipe in South Second avenue. This pipe comes to an ah- rupt end near Madison street, and has no outlet. The people living in that part of town were filled with indignation and bad smells. and it was proposed to carry the pipe few hundred feet south. on the ground that it might help a little to change the identity of the objectors. To carry il entirely out of the way would cost more money than the council can see its way clear 10 spend at this time.
 When the storm was at its busiest yesterday the strain on the earth at
 the end of the pipe line became too great and the water broke through the earth to the surface, where II found it's way to q ditch and was car ried off as any other surface water This undoubtedly prevented the storm water hacking up into the business part of town and probably saved sev- eral thousand dollars in damaged
 goods. besides solving the disposition ] problem. temporarily. at least.
 The drain pipe in question carries the surface water and street clean ! ings from eight blocks in the pave'
 district And that is the story of tn l Carrnian smile.

THE INCREASED ELECTORAL
 COLLEGE

Under the new apportonment oi representatives in congress. and with the admission of New Mexico and Ari- zona, the electoral college will be re- constituted and new basis estab- lished for representation at the na- tiOnal conventions.
 Each state has as many electoral votes as it has senators and repre- sentatives In 1909 there were 4S3 members of the electoral college. Next year there will be 532. So 26I votes will be necessary to elect. Confusion has arisen in some of the tables of electoral votes heretofore published. which wrongly give the to- tai as 53l. The mistake has arisen on the assumption that New Mexico had i only one representative in congress whereas it has two.
 The republicans and democrats have bases of representation in their con- ventions that differ slightly. Botf parties admit twice as many delegates from each state as it has senators an6 representatives. So the states will b' represented both at Chicago and Balti' more with lO64 delegates. The dli' | ference arises in the territorial repre- sentation.
 The republicans admit six delegate from Hawaii. and two each iron Alaska. District of Columbia, Port Rico and the Philippines, thus makinj total of 107S delegates.
 The democrats admit six delegate
 from each of these five divisions. mak
 ing a total of 1094.
 Tn the republican convention a ma
 iority. or $40 votes, will nominate.
 the democratic convention two
 thirds vote is necessary, or '5". -
