ANOTHER AWFUL CATASTRO-
Pile.

Only those who Tt ad a large number
of newspapers can form any idea Of
h enumber of fires r~obberies, murders,
railroad and other accidents that daily
occur throughout the Union and the
world. No paper al publish the tenth
part of them. Recently, cyclones,
floods and fires have been playing the
leading part in the great drama.
Last week the most heartrending
accident was the falling of the new
bridge being constructed over the
Licking river between Covington and
Newport, Kentucky. The bridge is
very high and the span over three hun
dred feet, material iron. The con-
tractors were hurrying the work
through. The bottom of the river is
composed of treacherous mud. Into
this had been driven a large number
of piles on which rested the false
work" until the iron bridge could be
put together and bolted. But the piles
had not been driven deep enough, they
failed to hold up the great weight.
Without a minutes warning down
went the whole structure. Thirty men
were killed and ten or twelve badly
wounded.
The above is only a sample of the
casualties. Many were killed by
cyclones, railroad wrecks, murdered,
robbed, poisoned, killed by horses run
ming away, by ships going down, acci
dentally drowned and by suicide. Sew
eral disastrous fires occurred, in some
of them lives were lost, and to all this
may be added several lynchings. 1t
would run some people crazy to read
all of one weeks casualties.

ONLY WISE ROAD TO POLITICAL
PEACE.

When the Democratic leaders choose
to 90 below the political surface Of he
Farmers Alliance movement and get
at the real motive and cause of this
great uprising Of people, they will find
that it is at heart just and right. 1t is
a protest against a system of finance
that contracts values throughout the
country to foster the interests of one
section. United States Senator Nor
gan and State Senator Miner see the
meat of the Alliance proposition. A
safe way to expand the currency of
the country is the speediest and only
wise road to political peace.-Bjr-
minghGm Age Herald.
In these days Of party s~ubserviency
and unmanly toadying to bloated pIu-
tacratic arrogance, it is indeed as re-
freshing as it is rare to find, in a promi-
nent Southern Democratic journal,
such a broad, just and truthful exposi-
ton of the real situation as the above
from our Alabama contemporary. The
Age-Herdld is correct in saying that
the motive and cause of this mighty
uprising am 0ng the people lis just and
right" 1t is equally correct in saying
that it is a protest against a financial
system that has enriched one section
at the expense Of all other sections.
And yet there are pretended or coun-
terfeit Southern Democrats who are
almost crazed with the purpose of per-
petuatlng this Infamous system for the
robbery and ruin of our people. But
the people, thank God, have awakened
to a sense of this iniquity and the dan,
ger 1t entails and they will rebuke it at
the polls next November.

Asylum Coal Contract.

JAMESTOWN, N. d., June 4, in Far.
go Forum.-The Wadeson mine at
Sims obtained the coal contract at the
asylum at $2.70 per ton. The price
offered by the Lchigh mine Of Dick
inson was 1926 per ton. They offered,
however, to put in the Dickinson
coal for thirty days, and then have
the Sims coal tried for the same
length of time and the contract deci-
ded on these tests, but the contract
was awarded Oh the straight bids. 1t
is said that the tests made at the
Jamestown asylum show that the
Dickinson coal has only per cent. Of
clinkers and per cent of ash, which
makes difference in favor of the
Dickinson coal of 49.4 cents per ton.
A telegram, dated at Sims. n. d., in
the same issue of the Forum, reads:
A telegram from jamestown states
that the insane asylum has awarded
the coal contract for the coming year
to the Wadeson mine at this place,
through the Gull River Lumber Co..
and the contract specifies that the
coal shall be from the same mine and
the same vein as last year. 1t is an
ticipated here that there will be some
trouble over this us it is now on fire,
having caught through the fires that
were started to clear the damp out,
and it is now thought that it is i'm
| possible to get the flames out and the
mine will have to be abandoned and
the coal taken from the Thompson
mine in which there is to be vein of
six inches of clay which is mined
right in with the coal.

Wood That Resist. Ere.

In recent western fire it was again
demonstrated in the clearest manner
possible that California redwood as a
building material comes nearer being
freproof than almost any other material
of which buildings are constructed. In
this instance fire broke out in the up
per part of a one story building while
the wind was blowing gale that was
recorded at the United States signal sta
tion as moving at the average rate of
thirty miles an hour. But notwithstand-
ing this, and the fact that it was several
minutes before water was got to the
building, the fir laths under the plaster
were burned downward nearly to the
floor, and whole squares of the side plas-
tering We're thus loosened and fell in be-
fore the fire had burned through the
thin redwood shingle roof.
1t was most wonderful illustration
of the fire resisting qualities of redwood.
Had the whole building been as COM
bustible as the laths nothing could have
saved the city. The roof was old and as
thoroughly ready for the flames as red
wood ever becomes, yet the fact remains
that it resisted the ignition, and bystand-
ers could see a seething furnace of
flames through the apertures under the
caves, while nothing but smoke issued
through the roof. The peculiar manner
in which redwood smothers flame and
prevents its flashing forth is an impor-
tant fact in suppressing confagrations,
as fires are communicated to neighbor-
ing buildings by means of the external
flames and sparks which they send up

Monument opened at pompeii.

Two important monuments in Pompeii
have now been opened to the public, aft
er remaining closed for the last thirty
years because they were used as deposits
of art. They are the temple dedicated
to Augustus and the Women's baths.
The latter is the only building in Pom
peii in which are preserved intact, with
out any restoration, the ceilings of the
rooms, the pavement of the tepidarium
is also intact. In the temple only one
object-but that of great value to art
is preserved, the altar on which sacri-
fees were offered up. It is of marble,
perfect in all its parts, covered with rich
bas reliefs, representing the different
forms and incidents of sacrifice. On one
side is represented a virgin scattering
incense over the altar, while the sacri-
cial bull is brought up in procession of
priests and musicians. On tho other
side are sculptured a wreath of oak
leaves and two branches of laurel.-Lon-

Collecting n Debt.

A Gardiner man collected bill of
$2.10 the other day and feels we'll over
his success. He rode ten miles into the
country and found his debtor in the hay
field just about to pitch on a load of hay.
''The money is up to the house." ex-
planned the farmer, "and Ill get it just
as soon as get in this load of hay. Do
you mind getting on and building the
load?" The Gardiner man got on and
when he reached the barn he found the
lady of the house, who had charge of the
money, out blueberrying. So he stayed
and built another load and then got his
money. Some folks think he had earned
it.-Kennebec (Me) Reporter.
