fore the body Of Peck could be taken

the flames which enveloped the wrecked
auto but the machine continued to burn
until nothing remained of it but a heap
Of charred and twisted iron.

According to Engineer barley his train
was travelling at the rate of fifteen miles

engine at the throttle at the time. while
his fireman was on the south side. He
blew his whistle four times for the cross
ing, he said. and the usual signal was
also given for the station
The crossing where the accident hap
pened is regarded as one of the most
dangerous in the county. Directly on
the south side of the steam road is an
embankment fifteen feet high, while on
the west side is also an embankment,
with elevation not quite SO steep.

CHAMBER LAYS PLANS
FOR ARMY-NAW GAME
Committee Named to Canvass
Prospects for Holding Foot
Ball Classic Here.

Definite steps toward having Washing
ton selected for the annual foot ball con
test between the teams of the Naval and
Military academies were taken today by
the conventions committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
A subcommittee consisting of Guy
Camp and EDWARD Schmid was author
lied to ascertain whether the ellipse or
some portion of Potomac Park may be
used for holdir the game. If this is pos
sible the committee will then ascertain
the cost of $1,000 portable seats.
1t is suggested that the Chamber of
Commerce purchase the seats outright
and erect them each fall few days pre-
vious to the game. If this arrangement
can be male. the athletic associations of
both the army and navy will be given
10000 seats each. The remaining 10000
seats will be sold by the Chamber OF
Commerce TO cover the expense of the
seats and their erection.
Not Money Making Scheme.
The building of the stand would not
be undertaken as d money makinS
scheme. Members of the conventions
committee said the seats should be
sold at price that will just cover the
expenses of the undertaking. The
money spent by the hundreds of peo-
pie who would come to the city TO wit
ness the game will fully repay the
merchants of the city who would sub
scribe to fund to cover the initial
expense of the stands. members OF the
committee say.
The committee appropriated 500 to
pi Divide an automobile ride about the
city for the delegates to the lnterna-
tional congress on refrigeration who
arrive here next Sunday. An appro-
priation also was made to provide
like ride for the delegates to the con-
gress of students.
An apuropriation of S125 to provide
a Sightseeing ride about the city for
the delegates to the American Bot
tleds' Protective Association, who are
to meet here in October was author
lied.

Not Interested in Mines.

The bishop denied that either individ-

West Virginia coal lands or mines.
Senator MARITIME asked the bishop what
he would do to remedy conditions, If he
had the power.
First Of all, l would require both oper-

give each a Bible as a steering chart, and

MAKING 1T SEEM LIKE HOME
Keepers of New York Geological Gar
dens Prepare Miniature Jungle
for Rare Snakes

A South American jungle in min
iature is being constructed at the
Bronx geological gardens for the re-
ception of eighty-seven baby snakes
of the rare variety known as fer-de-
lance. The entire eighty-seven came
to the zoo in a single litter. To in
sure their surviving in captivity it
was necessary to counterfeit the nat
ural conditions of existence in the
jungle and thereby entice them to
eat properly and take a suitable in
terest in life.
The fer-de-lance snake is pro-
vided with "food catcher" at the
end of its tail. This is a yellow
marking which is an exact reproduc-
ton of worm, and the snake can
make its tail simulate the move
ments of a real worm The young
fer-de-lance, to decoy its food, crawls
into the high grass and, coiling up
there, lets the tip of its tail pro
trude few inches.
Patiently it waits until a tree frog
or other victim is attracted. The
frog grabs the worm and the snake
grabs the frog. In very few min
utes the frog has disappeared and
the snake withdraws its decoy and
contentedly goes to sleep for three or
four days.-New York Tribune.

The Golden Belt Educational As
ISOLATION which meets at Hays, Feb.
2S-Marcn i. 1913 is this year introduc-
ing agricultural features specially
appropriate to the short grass coun-
nent place on their futcre programs.
They include growing contest of
corn, wheat and sorghums open TO
public school pupils. and a county
contest in which products of a
county grown the previous season, by
whomsoever produced, are TO be ex-
hibited. For the farmer, cash prizes
are to be awarded, while the success
full county in the latter contest will
receive handsome pennant-
Following the judging of those ex-
the State Agricultural College, will
give the young folks lecture on the
merits and defects shown in the
various products, giving reasons for
his decisions aud thus preparing then
for the next annual contest.
The @. B. E. a includes the coun-
ties of Wallace, Logan, Cove. Trego,
Graham, Ellis, Russell and Ellsworth.
However much interest may center
in this annual meeting. the purpose
of the agricultural features will not
be accomplished unless this interest
reacts TO every school district in the
association. Therefore it is hoped
that each county will have a good
representative of young people at
these features to carry away fixed
resolutions and definite ideas that
will be attached by the quality of
future exhibits. The same result is
sought by the distribution TO each
county superintendent of seed pro-
cured from the state experiment
station at Hays, suitable-to the short
grass county and to be awarded to
pupils of his county as he thinks best.
Since the State Agricultural College
is specially in making a superior ex-
hibit at the international Dry Farm
ing Congress at Tulsa, Okla, next
October. the community of interest
and identity of pursose between this
work of the rural schools and the
county farmers institute should on
this occasion bring them into close
which is much to be desired Will
good citizens see to it that Trego
county does not lag behind in this
propaganda that offers such an honor
able way TO augment our prosperity
and increase our happiness. The coun-
tv superintendent has the matter in
charge.

uP-To-BATE WATCH MAKING
Ingenious Machines Now in Operation
Turn Out All Parts of
Timepiece.

The rapidity with which watches
are nowadays manufactured has
been made possible by the ingenious
machinery designed within recent
years for the making of all parts of
a watch. The speed with which these
various parts are turned out is little
short of marvellous Great sheets of
brass and steel are cut and rolled
into ribbons and punched out into
wheels at the rate of ten thousand
a day from each punching machine.
Workers drill the thirty-one holes in
the roof of the watch as fast as they
can count.
Brass wire glides into a machine
that measures off the length of a
part, turns it, puts screw thread
on each end and actually screws it
in at the rate of two thousand day.
The screws are of such tinv size
that fifty gross of them may be put
in a woman's thimble, while of 9TH
ers there are one thousand gross to
the pound.
Balances are cut from the solid
steel, ground down, worked up and
drilled with their twenty-five screw
holes apiece at the rate of one hum
dred wheels day from each ma
chine.
Wheels have their teeth cut. q
couple of dozen at time, some with
from sixty to eighty teeth, at the
rate of twelve hundred wheels a day
from each machine. - Harpert

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.

Topeka, Kan, Feb 1S. 1918.
Well. we have ground out quite
a prist of bills in the last week,
and some that ought to never got
to the House, the com mlttee
ought to have killed them. The
time is passed to introduce any
more bills-that is bills that
have never passed the commit
tee they yet can be introduced
I introduced one to-day by re-
quest; will have to stay by it and
do all I can for its passage; it Is
a good bill; it is in regard to land
and tenants, makes it punishable
for a tenant to take any advant-
age of the landlord. / introduc-
ed a bill TO have the Forestry
Station at Ogallah decided back
to our county for a poor farm
and | had it put on second read
ing. and then on third, and got
it through the House all right.
and Senator Malone said he
would see that it passed the Sen
ate. so if he does his duty, we
will get it back and stop a graft
on the state that does no one any
good, and / hope our people will
appreciate it as rushed it along
while one of the members was
absent as | was afraid he might
fight me.
We are done with the fee and
salary bill, it does not suit me
at all, but I could do no better
than support the bill as we chew
ed around the rag all one day
and did not get it any better,
and so we got as near together as
we could and let 1t go at that and
we hope our people viii be salts
fed as we did the best under the
circumstances. But to-day was
the big rag chewing, it was over
the appropriations for the
schools of all kinds and all of the
state institutions, and every
member of the House had his
say, and you know. of course. l
could not keep still, and neither
did |, what suited the minority
side of the House was all wrong
with the other side, and so it
went, and we finally came to a
halt and fixed it up in some kind
of a way, but we cut down on a
good many things; but the Larn
ed deal has not come up yet so /
do not know just how we will get
along with that, out I Will have
my say about it as it seems to
me that was a raw bunch they
handed US and the state as well.
I will try and look after that as
best as / can.
| hope we can get through in
the fifty days or near that time
1t is nice and warm here, but nc
rain. it is like April. and | hope
1t is as nice out there. if it only
rains within the next thirty days
it will be all right.
