Boxes Found Too Small.

The children are waging the crusade
with such vim that, in several instances,
the regulation size boxes provided for the
delivery of flies to campaign headQuar-
ters in the municipal building have had
to be abandoned. Yesterday Burdette
was forced to use a shirt box in which to
convey the 162, 500 insects destroyed by
his army to the headquarters.
The present campaign has far exceed
ed my own expectations, and / believe it
will establish a record which will at
tract the attention of the medical and
scientific worlds" said DR.. Murray today.
1.-The slaughter of flies is becoming so
enormous that. in my opinion, the time Is
not far distant when it will be possible
of the campaign with respect to improved
health conditions in the city. Also the
extensive destruction of the insects is
proving that 1t Is possible to entirely wipe
out the pests. provided the warfare is
kept up constantly until this condition
has been arrived at. as already reports
have reached me to the effect that in GER
tain localities where the "swatters" have
been particularly active flies are scarcer
than they have ever been known to be-
Prize Distribution.
ava ded by The Star at the end of the
month to the competitors making the
highest scores $40 will be given to chill
dren who make the best district scores
For the purposes of the campaign the
city has been divided into eight districts
a map of which appears elsewhere in to-
DAVIS issue of The Star. Contestants who
destroy the largest number of flies in
these districts will receive prizes Of ID
each.
An opportunity to Increase their scores
is afforded contestants in the decision
reached to give 500 additional points for
each, location reported of a breeding
place of flies. If the nuisance is of such
nature that 1t comes under the jurisdic-
ton of the health department the mere
reporting of its location by a contestant
will mean that his score in the campaign
will be automatically increased by $40
points.
There are numerous breeding places
of flies apd the wiping out of these
nuisances will accomplish q great deal
in the effort to make Washington
fyless city. The discovery Of such nui-
sances should enable the contestants
who are out for the district prizes to
considerably increase their scores. The
competition for the district prizes Is not
nearly SO close that for the general
prizes, and 1t is still possible for child
to become interested in this phase of
the campaign and win one of the IS
awards by the end of the month,

ADMIRAL DU POINT AND
DAHLGREN'S FLAGSHIP TO GO

Washington, Nov. Elm spite OF
the protests which have arisen in GER
tain quarters, the navy department
will stick to its intention to sell the
old frigate Wabash, which has been
stationed at the Boston navy yard as
receiving ship since 1875.
The Wabash was launched at the
Philadelphia navy yard October "a,
1855. She is wood, 262 feet 7 inches
long aI1d~51 feet inches abroad, with
mean draft of % feet and displace-
ment of 1850 tons.
Her cruises from 1855 to 1859 were
as flagship of the home and Mediter-
fanean squadrons. While flagship Of
Commodore Hiram Paulding she
brought from AspinwaIl to New York
in June, 1857, the filibusters of Gen.
eral Walkers army.
She sailed on May 80, 1861, from
New York to join the Atlantic block
aiding fleet. She captured two vessels
and took part in the capture of the
Hatteras inlet batteries in August,
1861. She was the flagship of Rear
Admiral Du Pont at the battle of Port
Royal, S. c., November Z, 1861 took
part in the expedition against Fer
nandina, February %, 1862, and was
flagship of the South Atlantic blockad-
ing squadron until 1863 under Rear
Admirals Du Pont and Dahlgren.
Under the command of Captain
Melancthon Smith she took active
part in the bombardment and capture
of Fort Fisher in the winter of 1S64-5.
From 1865 to 1871 she was laid up
and under repair at Boston, and for
two years she was the flagship of
Rear Admiral James Alden, command
ing the Mediterranean squadron.
In 1875 the Wabash was put out of
commission at the Boston navy yard,
where she has shared the honors with
the old Constitution as relic of long

indicated SO clearly the master mind
as well as the master hand, that the
people Of the whole country began to
look to him as the standard bearer for

WOODROW WILSON.

For the third time since the Civil
war, the democrats have elected a
president of the United States. There
were several factors that contributed
to the success of the democratic
ticket, notably the division in the re-
publican ranks, and the widespread
discomfort and dissatisfaction that
had taken deep root among the
masses of the people because of the
results following the long continued
republican policies.
Woodrow Wilson, the gallant knight
who has carried the democratic ban
ner to success, is practically a new
light in the political armament. He
has long been leader in the educa-
tional world, and as president Of
Princeton University so impressed
himself upon the public mind that his
party settled upon him as the one
man among the democrats who could
be elected governor of New Jersey.
Their judgment was sound and conf
dence well placed, and he was elected
by safe majority.
During his administration as gov
ernor of New Jersey he advanced
such far-reaching and progressive

|NTERURBAN TO THE
BOTTOMEAssURED

The Eagle is authorized to make
the statement to the people of Bryan
and Brazos county that the extension
Of the Bryan-College interurban into
the bottom is assured beyond the
shadow of doubt. This is some good
news itself, and ranks right along
with the glorious news from the ma
tional election.
Secretary L. M. Hewitt of the Bryan
Commercial Club, Mr.. o. E. Gammill,
manager of the Bryan-College inter
urban; Mr.. S. H. Hunter of Shreve-
port, president of the interurban, and
other gentlemen interested in the de-
velopment of Bryan met in Houston
yesterday for a conference on the ex-
tension of the interurban. The Eagle
is authorized to state that as a result
of the conference all arrangements
were completed for extending the road
across the river and down the bottom
on the Burleson county siJe to the
Smith & Carson plantation. The de-
tails are being worked out now, and
as soon as ready will be given to the
public. The matter of rightof-way
will be taken up at once by Mr.. Gam
mill and others.
This is certainly a fine piece OF
work for the Commercial Club, and is
another evidence of the great things
it is doing for Bryan.

FOUR DROWNED WHILE
SHOOTING BIG SIOUX FALLS

Sioux Falls, S. d., May 14.-The Big
Sioux river in this city yesterday after
noon was the scene of the drowning of
o young men. The dead are Matt
Yost, William Dahl, John Needham and
Guy Beck. In a spirit Of fun and dar-
ing, the four young men, who were in
two boats, W. in each. attempted to
hoo over the edge Of a small dam near
the Eighth street bridge, in the heart
Of the business district. The fall of
water over the dam Is not over two or
three feet, but owing to the rise in the
river for some days, has been rushing
over the dam at lightning speed. The
first boat got over the dam all right,
but the second one capsized when it
plunged into h water below the dam,
and the two occupants were thrown
into the swirling water. Seeing the
danger Of the two struggling men, the
occupants of the other boat went to
their rescue. They succeeded in rescu-
ing one of the drowning men n had
drawn him partially into the boat when
their own a vas capsized, and all
our were left struggling in the water.
They were drowned before assistance
could reach them.

MODEL ROAD AT BROOkINGS
NOT INJURED BY FLOODS

Brookings, S. D., May 1.-THE real
test of a well planned. well construct
ed road and it's value to the community
was amply demonstrated when, despite
the flood that swept down the Sioux
valley. the mile Of model road west Of
Bookings. Notwithstanding it was SUBJ
marged, was left intact, together with
it's approaches and the cement culverts
Water poured over the road all
Thursday night, but ave for the wash
ing of a little of the surface soil no
damage was done. The wings on the
culverts protected the roadway and
prevented the water eating it's way
in.
The showing Is moro remarkable
from the fact that this model road, and
the grade built just east of 1t, are prac-
tically the only roads in Brook
ings county to escape damage. In close
proximity to them, and In striking con-
trast to them, is the railroad crossing,
a culvert ana a county bridge, all put
out of commission by the flood.
The mile of model road was built
last summer under the supervision Of a
road expert sent from the government
good roads Office at Washington.
