The gladiolus is not only one Of tho

Yesterday as DEMOCRAT scribe was

old just at the end of South Market
street standing by horse, and trying
to hold himself up by the bride. He
was boozy drunk, and as his back was
covered with dust had evidently fallen
off the horse. The horse stood quietly,
evidently in full sympathy with his
more brutal companion.

the Chatsworth disaster occurred. The
Mud Run accident, however, largely
helped to swell the list of fatalities i'll Oc-
tober. The Gazette pertinently suggests
that in judicial inquiry as to the cause
of an accident jury ought not to confine
itself simply to the question of direct dis
obedience of rule by an emplOYe, but
should endeavor to ascertain what were
the original or inspiring causes OF the dis
obedience or negligence.
A correspondent Of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat prints an interesting interview
with DR.. w. b. Outten, chief medical
officer of the Missouri Pacific, who has
charge of the hospitals and surgeons of
the entire Missouri Pacific system. The
5000 miles of the company's road is di-
vided into seven divisions. There are
hospitals at St. Louis, Independence
Atchison and Fort Worth. The hospital
system was started on the Missouri Paci-
fic in 1879, having been planned
in imitation of the similar undertaking
on the Central Pacific, which was begun
in 1876. Every employee earning over
$50 per month contributes 90 cents a
month; those receiving less wages pay %
cents. The attempt to support the hos
pitfalls by voluntary assessments was tried
on the Central Pacific, but proved fail
ure. Missouri Pacific employees resort to
the hospitals for treatment for sickness
as well as for injuries, and are fur
nished with transportation to and from
the nearest hospital whenever necessary.
They of course receive in many cases,
probably most, much more skillful atten-
ton and nursing than they could secure
in any other way, the road running
through a sparsely settled country. Jay
Gould pays the 30 cents assessment every
month This is 4 rather small percent
age on his salary, but on the other hand,
his residence being off the line of the
road, he would be obliged to pay his fare
TO reach one of the hospitals. The hos
pital in st. Louis has cost, with
out furnishing, $50 600, and re-
ceives 1000 men per month in the sum-
mer. The company has surgeons at
various points along the line of the road,
248 i'll all. Large quantities of medi-
cines are sent out to their employees At their
homes who have written asking for ad-
vice. Some days 200 prescriptions are sent
from St. Louis to points on the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern. The men
on this road seem, for some reason, to
appreciate the benefits of the hospital
more than those on other lines.
DR.. Outten says that Western
roads aggregating 30,000 miles now
have more or less elaborate hospital sys-
tens. The Missouri Pacific issued 10 900
passes 4 year for sick employees. Sisters
of Mercy are largely employed as nurses.
Ordinary women were addicted to sneak
ing ont nights, leaving their charges TO
look out for themselves, and male nurses
drank up large quantities of expensive
brandy. Whether the brakemen in the
hospitals gave the nurses ''points' as to
the best method of securing the high
priced brandy is not stated.

respondent was shown letter received

to build the road from Bowie TO Burling-

proposed route would secure the right of
way, depot grounds, etc., there was no
reason why the road should not be built
at once. 1t is needless TO say the people
interested in this enterprise are wide
awake and will do their part. The spros-

than they have ever been. There are
many reasons we could give for saying
this but we are sworn to secrecy and

our predictions are correct.
