the West Virginia Central and a Number
of People Seriously Injured.
CUMBERLAND, Md. Aug. 6.-News
has reached here of frightful accident
which occurred at a point called Switch
Back, on the West Virginia Central
road, about so miles from here. Tues
day morning, as usual, the men, seven
teen in number, boarded the tram-road
engine to go to their work in the lum-
Der regions. Two women asked per-
mission to ride out a short distance to a
berry patch Their request was
granted, and the engine containing the
nineteen passengers started. 1t had
hardly gotten under good Roadway
when the engine struck piece of tim
Der that was lying on the track, turn
ing it completely over. The occur
renee was SO sudden that none of the
people on the engine had chance to
escape and all We're more or less in
jured. either by escaping steam or from
the fall of the engine.
John Mckenzie, who lives at Frost
burg, was caughtunder the engine and
scalded SO badly that he died that
evening. The others seriously but not
fatally injured are: Robert Robinson,
engineer, badly scalded and bruised;
Frank Craver, fireman, scalded and
bruised; Lewis Layman, scalded about
hands and face; John Hickey, hurt in
ternally and scalded: Jennie burst,
badly bruised and scalded.
AS soon as word could be sent the
physicians of Elk Garden, the nearest
town, We're telegraphed for, and they
promptly responded, relieving as far as
possible the sufferings of the injured.
Controlled by the Farmers.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 6.-Late Ken
lucky election returns are favorable in
every instance to the farmers, and
there is no longer any doubt that they
will control the next legislature. They
are not all alliance or peoples party
men, however. although the peoples
party has surprised the democrats by
electing no less than thirteen of their
candidates. The political complexion
s,f the house is: Democrats, IS; repub-
leans, II; peoples party, IS; independ-
nnt democrat, l. and one district
doubtful The farmers of all par
lies number fifty-six besides
several country merchants and teach
ers, whose sympathies are in the same
directions. The farmers most of whom
are alliance men, will have a majority
in the democratic caucus. There will
be slxty-eight members of the demo-
cratic caucus, not counting the indie
pendent democrat. whose admission to
the caucus is doubtful, and thirty-nine
of them are farmers.

stalled and Chief Palmer
Takes Command.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. S.-To-day, ac-

Sheridan monument $50, 900 are on hand
and more coming in.
A report on the erection of a national
memorial hall in Decatur, Ill, was
adopted The quartermasters report
showed the finances of the order to be
in excellent condition. A large lot of
miscellaneous matter, resolutions, etc,
were laid on the table, among them
request for Il s., 900 appropriation from
the grand army for a monument to DR..
Stephenson, the founder of the or
ganization. A glowing resolution was
adopted eulogizing and emphasizing the
generous treatment accorded the q. \.
r. by the city of Detroit The per
capita tax was reduced from 3 cents to
cents from next January.
The encampment then began the in
stallation of the newly-electcd officers.
The officers were called to the stage,
the encampment arose, the ritual was
read, and the obligations administered.
With these simple ceremonies the Off
GERS took their places. COMMANDMENTS

the flag by the retiring commander-in-
chief, with the declaration that there
would be 600, 900 men to stand by him
and the flag. Palmer then assumed the

IT is SO easy to do wrong that man
may easily do much mischief while
really exerting himself to accomplish
good. To avoid this so as not to over
do the thing, both sides OF the question
must be studied. First, you must do a
certain thing, now plan out before you
the whole programme OF how to do that
thing; after that is we'll planned, look
to see what must be avoided, then plan
for the avoidance. Now, if the two
plans do not seem likely to work har-
moniously together, modify one or both
so as to accomplish both objects in the
best manner. 1t won't do when you
are up tree and wish to saw off a
large limb, to tie one leg to the limb
and the other to the tree.

WHEN WE GROW MOST.
Years In Which the Organs of the Heaa
aa. Body Deye'op.


The brain of the child is proper
tionately much larger than an adults,
but OF much setter consistency, and its
convolutlons are not complete until
the seventh year. This is one of the
reasons why early study is dangerous.
The child's heart beats much more
rapidly than that of an adult, and the
growth of the heart, instead of being
regular, like the growth of the body
sss whole, is accomplished by fits and
starts. The more rapid action of the
heart renders the child peculiarly
liable to fever and the liability is
further increased by his weaker vital
resistance. Hence childhood is the
special season for scarlet fever,
measles, whooping cough and other
similar complaints.
The irregularlty of the hearts
growth may give rise to disturbances
OF the organ of seemingly dangerous
character, but with proper care will
pass away as the heart attains its full
development. Such proper care in
cludes ample nOurishment, sufficient
sleep and the avoidance OF special
strain.
The season OF rapid growth and de-
velopment, say between the ages OF
ten and twenty, needs particular at
tention. Nature is then at work, as it
never will be again, in building up the
tissues and developing the nervous
sensibilities. This is the period which
makes the largest demands for an out
door life, for pure air, sunlight active
exercise, abundance OF nutritious food,
a vigorous digestive tract, a ready
assimilation and an active elimination
OF waste.
1t is the period Of study and am
bition, as we'll as wisdom that thinks
itself wiser than it is. The increasing
mental activity needs to be regulated
by experienced teachers and consider
ate mothers. lest the brain be worked
at the expense of other organs and
tissues.
Duller minds should not be forced
to keep step with those which are
naturally more active, and the infiu-
ences of the home and the school-room
should be tranquilizing and adapted to
evoke the kinder feelings. Fretful
parents aud scolding teachers may do
lifelong injury during this susceptible
period.
1t is a period when neither study
nor night excitements should interfere
with sleep; when dime novels do their
worst work; when mothers need to
know what their children read. and to
be their confidential counselor in all
delicate matters; when the use of to-
bacco Is specially perilOus, almost
surely giving rise to affections of the
heart and when spirituous liquors and
all 0piates are peculiarly pernicioua

FORTUNATELY and wisely, we have
thus far steered clear OF "entanplinp
alliances. with the single and limited
exception OF our treaty OF 1916 with
New Granada respecting the transit of
the lsthmus OF Panama; and by thus
following the policy of careful Austen
ton from all interference in the do
mestic questions and local issues of
other nations, we are enabled more
consistently to check and impel any
impertinent or pragmatical attempt by
foreigners to intermeddle with our do
nestle policies or to dictate alterations
in our carefully arranged distribution
of powers.

THINK of the weakness OF mothers
in sacrificing their comfort and sleep
and imperilling their health in caring
for their babies! Mere sentiment OF
