MORE THAN 5000, 900 BRICKS.
Used In Construction Of New X. G

Used In Construction Of New X. G.
Terminal.
The Rock Island Employees maya
zine presents some interesting statis-
tics about the construction of the new
Union station at Kansas City, which
Will be completed in a few weeks. It
Will not be long before the old familiar
station will be thrown into the discard
and the new $45,000.00O terminal
used.
There were 100000 bricks used in
the construction of the terminal. II
these bricks were laid end to end, they
would reach from Chicago to Colorado
Springs. There were 42O cars of build
ing stone used, enough to make a
night cap for Pixies Peak and still
have enough left for a four foot stair
way from the Manitou Journal office
to the Summit house. II all Of the
$4,000 tons of steel used were rolled
into a one inch bar. it would reach
half way from Chicago to Kansas City.
and II 1t were used as telegraph
wire. it would make a cable from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast. II all of
the men used on the job were one
man. he could tip his hat to Zenith,
shake hands with Apollo and wave
kisses at all OF the pretty maidens in
Mars
The statistician for the Rock Is
land publication goes still farther and
asserts that IL all of the debris from
the excavations were spread one inch
thick, it would cover Chicago like a
blanket. II all of the $4,000 barrels
Of cement used were one barrel, 1t
would be one hundreds miles long. II
all of the sand were distributed in the
backwards OF Boston. it would make
place for every kid in the city to have
q sand pile. That is. provided the
sober and spectacled Bostonian child
rem play in such frivolous ways.

Sunday afternoon the Temple
Theatre was crowded for the chautau-
qua programme only time. during
the entire eight days that there had
been a good attendance. A free will
offering was taken during the after
non to help defray the chautaqua ex-
penses and we regret to learn that
il was so SMALL o.
A short vesper service was held
conducted by Miss Meddie Hamilton,
assisted by several of the Ocala misis-
tres after which the Robley Male
Quartet sang several sacred selec-
tions.
Rev. Julius Cesar Neyphe, of
Atehns was the afternoon speaker
and his rendition of the 23rd Psalm
which he gave with Illustrations and
dressed in the quaint shepherd cos
tune of the bible days was wonderful.
This little Athenian is gifted with
wonderful grace and a beautiful flow
OF language and on Sunday his expo
sition of this familiar psalm quite
captivated his audience. He seemed to
bring right before them his beloved
flock
From the hillside he called them.
with his crook he guided them, and in
his arms he carried them. With his
sling he shot the crouching wild
beasts. and after the dangerous pas
sage through "the valley OF the
shadow OF DEATH" he stood at the
gateway OF the fold to gather in his
sheep.
II was indeed a shepherds meeting.
Monday evening Miss Hamilton
greatly delighted a very small
audience with her redition of IAN
Old Sweetheart 81 Mine" and other
of the gems of James Whitcomb
Riley. the Hoosier Poet. Her readings
were very SPLENDID and left nothing
90 be desired.
The first attraction of the after
noon was a short concert given by
the Robley Male Quartet Besides
the quartet there were several solos
and one member of the quartet gave
several recitations.
The special feature of the afternoon
was the reading of within the Law"
the greatest melodrama of the de-
eade, by Miss McLaren, which she
did In a magnificent manner. Miss
McLaren assumed every role in the
play. and her change of expression.
and the ~ OF her features through
out the four strenuous acts was quite
splendid.
Many have recently seen this play
In ocala by a splendid company, and
were thoroughly familiar with the
scenes. and Miss McLaren's rendition
of the difficult drama was heartily
approved by all who heard her. Her
delineation OF each of the many char
acters was good. and that of Mary
Turner and of Aggie Lynch was es-
pecially fine.
Late In the afternoon, at the board
of trade rooms Miss Hamilton told
stories to the children.

wages paid by those establishments
in Chicago which depend upon the,
labor of girls and women. This in
vestigation should also ascertain liv-
ing conditions, cost of living of diff
ferent groups, and decide on what
constitutes a living wage for each
group"
This recommendation was made
directly to the many alleged philan-
thropic societies that flourish in Chi
cago.
Yet when the representative of
these organizations appeared before
the O'Hara commission (the only
body that had the courage to tackle
the low wage problem) they de-
nounced the idea.
In another part of the book comes
this passage:
Under the heading Profits From
Prostitution in Chicago, in this COM
missions report, attention is called
to the earnings Of the inmates of
houses of prostitution giving as an
average $25 a week, or $1,000 a year,
WHICH, 10 ulLI d-COASOI NdIlNO. Ills Is
5 per cent on $4,000. The average
wage paid in department stores is Sc
per week or $500 a year. This is
per cent on $4,000 In other words
a girl represents capitalized value
of $4,000 as prostitute, where
brains, virtue and all good things are
MIL or more than four times as
much as she is worth as a factor in
the industrial and social economy
where brains, intelligence, virtue and
womanly charm should be worth a
premium"
After that the vice commission ex-
presses the opinion that it is small
wonder weak, tempted, nervously-
exhausted girls take the easiest |
way" i
The vice report says:
"a former salesgirl in a depart |

amount came to over $500. Her eyes
had been opened to her earning ca
pacity in the sporting life by man
who laughed at her for wasting her
good looks and physical charms be-
hind counter for boss who was
growing rich from her services and
the services of others like her.
There are many stories in the re-
port dealing with department store
girls.
There are numerous stories of the
struggles of the girls to survive on
low wages. There are also stories of
the attentions girls are forced to re-
ceive from the fioorwalkers under
danger of losing their jobs.
There is one story dealing with the
superintendent of one of the big
stores, who mistreated girl employee.
His name is not mentioned in the re-
port. But it is contained in the mys-
ferrous key to the report. We will
never know the name. The key is
reported gone. And the members of
the commission won't tell his name.
The girl in this case was from the
country. She boarded at the Y. w.
c. A. After the man ruined her she
left the store. The Y. w. C. A. threw
her out. When last seen she was
going to commit suicide.
At the time of the recent vice cru
SADIE the city council appointed it's
own committee. Aid. Emerson was
named chairman. After few hear
ings which were given much news
paper publicity. it suddenly stopped
its investigation. The committee has
never met since, although it is sup
posed to be in existence.
Now Merriam wants this commit
tee to get busy and tackle the vice
question again. Emerson and his
fellow committee-members have in
timated they might get busy. This is
the age of woman. And the alder

day that resulted in the death Of one
man and the probable, fatal injuring
of two others. The Illinois Central
work is performed by strikebreakers.
A wrongly turned switch caused an
l. C. passenger train to crash into
siding at Archer avenue and Butler
street and collide with a handcar,
When the train stopped they checked
up the damage and found that John
Sullivan, bridgeman, who was on
the handcar, had been killed in
stantly.
Michael Clifford, Is, 1865 Prince
ton avenue, who was also on the
handcar, was probably fatally injur-
ed, as was John Hart, FTeepOrt, H.,
fireman on the train, who jumped
when he saw the crash coming.
William Critics, a switchman, is be-
ing held as witness, though as yet
there has been no charges preferred
against him.
The accident is one of the kind
that young Carl Person, editor of the
Strike Bulletin and one of the leaders
of the union men locked out by the
I. c. and Hartman lines, brought
down the wrath of the railroad
bosses with by his fnsistenee in tell
ing people about them.
The accident also rather confirms
the charges of the union men that
there is incompetent service on the
I. c. since it put its force of strike
breakers to work.
The union publicly proclaims the
following consequences of the strike:
Incompetent, unskilled scabs put
in the places of the locked-out union
men.
The roads equipment and rolling
stock gorto the dogs.
