DISSPPHIOG
WILD WEST SHOW STARTS XAXT
' ON WESTERN TRIPS.'
Saburtmn rbtcajreans Hope to Sen
,1'he Hjdre-Aerflplaae.
Chicago. Aug. - 18i A wild west
show, a 'circus and a great military
tournament coming along 1 In - rapid
succession, proved too great a strata
on the s?lf-controI of the boys of Chi
cago, and within two "weeks 68 were
reported to the police as missing from
their homes. How many more "dis
appeared" that were not reported to
the detective headquarters is conjec
tural, but the number is estimated at
two orthree times tb number re
ported. Parents blame two-diseases,
"Wlldwestitis" and . "Armytberia."
The symptom are the same, and are
manifested In desir? to throw the
clothes lines over, the necks of the
family cats, "a liking for revoiTtrs,
Imitation and "reai" aombreroa, and
an energetic desire to tomahawk the
garbage cans. In 'many instances
the diseases work themselves out in
the form ol .ihowaM irlvtn for the
benefit of the boys and glrla of the
neighborhood. So far as Che par
ents of the missing boyl are inform
ed, they were lured away from home
by the ambition to be cowboy a or
gfn'rals. . Vsually a few days away
from mother and father generates a
feeling of homesickness sufficiently
strong to shove ambition far Into the
background. But in many instances
the boys have failed to return and no
trace of them have been found. The
police say that the wanderlust and
snow makes home look so good that
there is no chance for the disposition
to wander to grow , rapidly. ' -. '
The well-to-do men of Chicago who
live in Lake Forest and tha other
suburbs along the lake shore, have
been so impressed wiih the success of
ha Cnrtte hvilrn-anrfhlsne in th?
that they are already speculating oj
to when they can substitute a "hydro"'
for their automobiles In getting to
and from their offices.' The eas with
which this airship ' ascends either
from land or water; or descends upon
either land or water, or travels in
the air or on the water's surface or
on land makes these speculations
seem grounded upon; probability. It
has been the most interesting feature
of th s meet Glenn H. Curtiss, the
creator of the hydro-aeroplane which
he calls the "Triad" thinks that such
craft will be in usi by many private
fivers before lone. "The hvdro-aero-
- .1
(ire of flying a hundred fold
It can
fly at 60 mike an hour, skim over the
water at 35 miles' and run over the
earth at 3a' miles...' On the "water it
cap pass the fastest motor boat, and
jrttfdnds 'to' its rudder, more quickly j
thanvany water craft". The tlmii inayi
become successful aviators, the man
of business as well as. the practical
mechanic. Whether soaring over
land or sea the operator of a hydro
aeroplane may always feel sure of a
safe landing, either upon land or
water. ' Fear, the one thing that has
laid a restraining hand on the sleeve
of many a man eager to fly, need no
longer be a hindrance to the progress
of the aeroplanes popularity."
A prominent English social worker,
Prof., J. J. Flndlay. has come to the
defense of Chicago and after making
a thorough investigation of the Ghot-
to, the slums and tenements, says
that "Chicago has no poor" aa com
pared with London or any of the big
European citlea, or with New Tork
"Of all American cities." says Prof.
FIndlaj "New York alone la right in
talking of her poor problem.,. Prof.
Flndlay Is a member of the faculty of
the University 1 of Manchester, Eng
land, and was Invited to deliver a lec
ture at the aurnmer course at the
University of Chicago, on "The Lowest
Strata of City Life." He called at
tention to the radical differences of
the causes of poverty in America and
Europe. "Poverty In ' the. United
States," he said, ls due to temporary
circumstances such as Injury, death
or alckness. whereas the poverty In
i.urope is a poverty permanent and

chronic, a part of the settled life of
the cattjEuaity.H Touching Chicago,
be said: "A great deal more work
has been done in Chicago than in
New Tork for the foreign element"
.
The heart of Chicago is worth more
than half a billion dollars, the real
estate a mile and a half square, lying,
between the river and Twelfth street,
the lake and the river on the 'West,
being valued at $575,528,517 by" the
board of assessors. . Last year this
land was valued at $480,519, 826, and
the increase ; during the !year has
amounted to nearly one hundred mill
ion dollars. " The most valuable land
in the city Is along State street be
tween Monroe and Washington. These
two blocks are valued at $12,000 per
front foot. The least valuable land
is along State street near Park Row,
which -is declared to be worth only
$400 per front foot The two blocks
of State street from Monroe north
to Jockson are valued at $11,000 per
front foot; the block from Washing
ton north to Randolph at $10,000.
Madison street, the second most im
portant retail business street, runs
from $1,500 per foot at -the river, to
$6,000 per front foot for the stretch
be'.ween LaSaUe street and Wabash

The citizens ot May wood, a suburb
on the Pesplaines river, that touches
the western limits of Chicago, are
facing the problem pf disposing ot
about 5.000,600 dead fish as the result
of their midnight attack on' the power
dan of the North Shore Electric com
pany. The river runs through tthe
town and the stagnant lake formed
by It was breeding mosquitoS In' such
numbers the citizens decided, they
could not stand it. A notice was
served rn the company to remove the
dam in five days, but was ignored. At
midnight a band of men led by the
town marshal, L. H. Sweeney, armed
with picks and shovels, gathered at
the town hall and marched on the
dam ' Next morning there was no
lake, but the ground that was once
covered with .water was strewn with
f sh. some of them fiocping In the mud
but most of th?m already dead. The
