SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Statistics Show That q Man May Travel 1S1

Statistics Show That Man May Travel 1871
Years Before Being Killed.
In The Ladies' Home Journal John
Gilmer Speed writes entertainingly and
instructively on the construction and
operation Of railroads under the caption
Running Train at Night" He pref
atorily asserts that the most remark
able achievements Of modern civilization
probably are those which affect travel
ing, making it at once quick, comfort
able and secure. We cross states and
continents at the rate Of 30 miles an
hour with greater security against acct
dent than our grandfathers enjoyed in
their stagecoaches, and we have, even
when on the cars, comforts unknown in
the palaces Of kings. when our GRANDPA
TIERS grandfathers were young.
During the year (from interstate COM
merce commissions report for year end
ing July /, 1s94) one passenger was
killed for every 1851 passengers
carried, and one was injured for every
1873, 1929 carried. This surely is as safe
as living ordinary humdrum lives in
large cities The report further shows
that mans chances against injury
were such that he would have to travel
4,4O6, $3.50 miles before getting hurt and
go Al, 58S, 966 miles before being killed.
At the rate Of 80 miles all hour man
could travel, if nature permitted, on
American railways for 1S1 years, with
out leaving the cars, before being killed.
or with the same amount Of security
against accident he could go round the
earth 1908 times before meeting his
death by accident and 176 times before
getting hurt.

IN GENERAL.

The loss of life at Victoria, caused by
the breaking bridge on the Queens birth
day, foots up So.
Kate Field, the noted journalist and
writer, died in Honolulu, May II, whittier
she had gone seeking health.
The anti-bond bill passed the senate
Tuesday by a vote Of 32 to 25. Seventeen
Democrats, ten Republicans and five
Popuists voted for it.
At the coronation OF the car OF Russia
vast concouree Of people gathered OH
the plain outside the city. A stampede,
caused by the effort to receive the souve-
Mrs offered by the newly crowned king,
resulted in the death of more than 5000
people, and the injury OF many more.
At the Oregon elections OH Monday the
Populists elected one congressman and
possibly two. The Republicans elected
the supreme court judge. The legisla-
ture is in doubt, and may be anti-Re-
publican. Ex-Governor Pennoyer was
elected mayor of Portland by over 1000
plurality.
In the national Prohibition convention
a hot fight was had over the silver ques-
ton, and the liquor question was lost
sight of for a time. The straight-outs
came out victorious, however, and nomi-
mated Joshua II. lowering, of Maryland,
for president, and Hale Johnson, Of
Illinois, for vice president. The silver
faction, under the leadership Of st. John
and Helen M. Cougar, bolted, and will
put up another ticket.
A terrible cyclone swept over st. Louis,
Mo-, last week, striking the city on the
southwest and travelling northeasterly,
along course ten to twelve blocks wide,
across the river, wrecking one span Of
the bridge and nearly wiping out East
St. Louis. Big factories, brick blocks
and frame buildings all suffered alike,
and were hurled to the ground by the
terrible force. The loss OF life is fearful
the total known dead and fatally injured
being more than 400. The loss OF prop.
ertv is estimated at from twenty million
to twenty-five million dollars.

4 LESSON IN GERMAN.
The Teuton's Civiiizing Influence as s.
Through English Spectacles,

The Teuton's Civiiizing Influence as Seen
Through English Spcctacles.
At the very moment that the press Of
the fatherland was hurting imprecations
against Great Britain in the name Of
humanity and civilization and holding
US up to universal infamy as nation of
brutal shopkeepers, devoid Of culture
and noble ideals" at that very moment
one Of the kulturtrager sent out to civ
ilize Africa was being tried in Potsdam
for bringing the German name into dis
repute there. Wehlan-this is the ad-
ministrator's name-who is only ono Of
many, had been sent out as vice chan
cellor of Cameron, had occasionally rep
resented the governor, and during the
Bakoko rising had acted rs chief Of the
police force. His administration was
systematized cruelty Of kind which
few instances will illustrate. Augustus
Bell, "a niger, was accused Of hay
ing stolen watch. He denied the
charge, and Vice Chancellor Wehlan
condemned him to receive GO strokes Of
a hippopotamus hide whip to compel
him to confess. When this sentence was
executed, the mans body was jelly.
DIR. Valentin said that "a raw hacked
beefsteak was nothing in comparison. !"
A cook who humanely gave few cigars
to q man charged with larceny received
20 lashes Of the same instrument Of
torture.
The government interpreter, Eteeki,
stole some money and spirits, and to
punish him the German vice chancellor
and assessor, Wehlan, kicked him so
long and so cruelty that the engineer Of
the German steamer Nachtigall had to
turn away unable any longer to look
upon the sight. Then Wehlan ordered
10 lashes to be administered to the
wounded man, and finally gave instruc-
tons to have rope tied round his
waist so that he could be plunged into
the water. One of three prisoners whom
he had i'll custody was helped by cook
to escape. Wehlan ordered the cook
to be seized and killed with the two
prisoners-beaten to death, mo weap-
ons to be used" They were kicked and
thumped until half dead, when their
necks were struck and their heads bat
tered in. The corpses We're horribly dis
figured. During the Bakoko insurrec-
ton villages were burned to the ground
and the Threats Of helpless old women
cut. Prisoners, when taken, which was
not always, were delivered up to the
soldiers to be scalped alive. "A cut was
made in the lower jaw with knife,
the fellow seized by the teeth, and the
whole scalp drawn over the face and
head. Two German Gospel mission
aries testified that these were the most
efficacious means Of improving the mig.

FROM WESTPORT.

Our dock is now undergoing some
much.needed repairs.
Fish are very plentiful here now, and
many are being caught with ease.
The beach is once more becoming
lovely, as result OF dry weather and
sunshine.
Tie steamer Montesano arrived here
on time last Sunday, with several passen-
gers and some freight.
There will be no room here this season
for gamblers and all such vagabond, and
violators of the state laws will be prose-
cuted. a word to the wise is sufficient.
We understand that the Pavilion will
be opened up for guests this season, and
we hope the report is true. We don't
believe in monopoly, besides it is large,
well-arranged building, that suits the
wants OF many of our summer visitors.
With two or more hotels here, there will
be ample accommodation and all classes
can be suited.
Memorial day was not observed here
in very satisfactory manner to those
who realize the solemnity of the occasion,
only few turning out to pay tribute to
the nations brave defenders and decorate
the graves of the few who are laid to rest
at this place. There is no cemetery here,
the graves being scattered over a large
area Of ground, and receiving very little
attention. 1t is shame that with SC
many acres OF unused land about us, not
an acre has been designated and set aside
for cemetery purposes. We hope to see
this matter attended to soon, and a
cemetery laid out and enclosed with a
neat fence, where the graves OF our loved
ones will not be trodden by cattle and
horses.
