The Alton bridge has been enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity the last few days. Heavy shipments of grain on the way from the southwest to the seaboard have begun their eastern way and take the Alton bridge route from Hannibal to Baft St. Louis. Every day for three days special (rains have passed over the bridge, thirty ears long and carrying a thousand tons of wheat going from tho great wheat producing country In the west to the elevators In the east. In addition to this other trains the bridge are carrying heavier loads than usual.

So brisk Is the business that It become necessary for the 0., B. Q. to station an operator In the local office to take train orders. The reason for the unusual activity of business is tow rates have been eetab- lished for wheat until July and the crop being moved while the rates are low.

Contractors Will no Longer Receive Accrued Interest on Specltl.Improvement Bondi. The mayor today Announced a new departure from the policy of the late oily administration with reference to the accrued Interest on the special Improvement bonds Issued by the oily to pay for special Improvements. The late administration cufttomnrlly turned over to the contractors the Interest on tho bonds from the time the ordinance for the Improvement was In force until the work was accepted from the contractor. In come cases this Interest has amounted to 9300 or over. The law provides that the Interest shall be paid to the city and not to the contractor as has been the custom.

I). Ryan was today Informed by Mayor Young that he need not hope to collect the Interest accrued on the $4,000 worth of bonds Issued today by the city. These bonds have been bearing interest since February 1, four months. The Interest, which amounts to about $80, will be turned in to the city treasury for the benefit of the property owners. Mr.

Ryan Bald it had been customary for the contractor to receive the accrued interest heretofore and that he understood be was to receive it when he bid on the contract. Mayor Young said he "understanding" with any contractor, and proposes to ad here strictly to the law. DOCTOR E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS' ADDRESS. MfXED PAINTS.

Muilinon. PHONI3S 305 and 23 Alton, II Claims the City. Pretty much everybody has a cla'm against the city of Alton, and it seems that every one with a claim took occasion to present it to the Claims committee of the City Council at HB meeting last night. Thousands of dollars In claims were considered by the committee last.night and the perplexing question is, what shall be done with them? Properly owners on Ridge street claim a rebate of 8800 is due them on a sewer built six years ago. Wolf, Maupin Curdle claim 83S3 40 for the profits on the Sixth street sidewalk contract which was taken from them.

Bluff Btreet property owners want to be reimbursed for 431 feet of the Bluff street sewer taxed to them instead of to the Bluff Line and Henry Wateon. Dan MoEvoy wants 1150 for damages to his property by washouts. Many other claims were In for amounts varying from a few dollars to several hundred dollars Tho appropriatl can not nearly cover the amount of the claims, and all of them may be referred to the Council for action.

Benjamin Andrews, late president of Brown University, and now superintendent of the Chicago public schools. The lecture was In Baptist church and was listened to by a large audience of Alton and Upper Alton people. The address was one of the most scholarly ever heard.

Mr. L. V. Starkey, president of the Sigma Pbl Literary Society, Introduced Dr. Andrews, whose appearance on the platform was greeted with an enthusiastic round of applauso.

His subject was "Character and the Higher Education." After dwelling on the enormous expenditure for educational showed that the results are what ought to be expected. The explanation of this plorable condition of affairs he found mainly In the lack of emphasis given to the ethical side of education. Students work under wrong Incentives. They seek education for mercenary or purely selfish purposes. The Institutions of higher education are at fault for aiming wholly at intellectual developement rather than manhood.

They satisfied to spread the fesst and tne students take of it or starve a's he may choose.

WILL BUILD A NEW SCHOOL. CoiftCll Committee on Schools Says the Board of Education May Erect a School In the East End. The council committee on schools met the Board of Education last oven- Ing In the council chamber to confer with reference to the petition of the Board of Education for authority to build a now school house In tho east end. At the last council meeting the Board of Education had a communication presented to the council stating that the schools in the city nro DO crowded as to render them incapable of furnishing accommodations for all the school children of Alton. In the east end the condition is such that rooms are rented to accommodate the overflow from Hnmboldt school.

It was proposed by the Board of Education that a new school to cost $5,000 be erected on a lot on Joesting avenue near Washington street and the council was asked for authority to go on with the work. The Board of Education has been preparing for a new school bouse for Borne time. It was announced to tho council committee on schools that there is now in the schoo' sinking fund enough to pay for the new school building and the site also. The now school will be similar In size to Lovejoy and Douglass schools and will cost $6,000. The site will be purchased from the Illinois Glass and the Board of Education now has an option on it for $1,000.

The original price was $1,500 for the site, 180 feet square, but a donation to the fund was made by the Illinois Glass Co. cntting the price one-third. It is hoped the new school will be ready for use In September. The Board of Education will proceed with work on the new building at once. Mrs.
