Stage Accident.

On Tuesday morning the Fossil-Arl
ington stage met with a terrible accident
while coming down the thirty-mi1e hill.
One of the wheel horses slipped and fell
and tipped the stage over against the
bank, breaking the coupling and tongue.
VIM. Stewart, the driver, was hurled
violently to the frozen ground and the
four horses and front wheels of the stage
all rolled into barbed wire face at the
foot of the hill, cutting several of the
horses in frightful manner. Although
conscious, Mr.. Stewart was unable to
get up and attempted to crawl to the
home of ]. B. Smith, mile down the
canyon, but had to give that up also.
He lay there from about 9 O'Clock until
after IL O'Clock, when Charley Baker,
who was on his way to the saw mill for
lumber, found the poor fellow, who was
almost frozen. He brought him to the
home of Mr.. Smith, where his injuries
were looked after as well as possible
under the circumstances. AS no bones
were broken, Mr.. Stewart did not think K
it necessary to send for doctor, saying
that he thought he'd be all right in q
couple of days.
Mr.. Baker gathered up the mail
pouches and brought them to Condor,
reaching here about dark. The mai
was sent on horseback to Glenn and like.
ly was taken through to, Arlington last
night.

A Sub-SidcwaIk Railway.

A novel plan for a sub-sidewalk rail-
or rapid transit, has been designed by
a Chicago inventor. The road, as its
name implies, is to be built under the
sidewalk Of the street, the space re-
CURED being only eight feet in width
5y eight feet in hight. At the curb line
% the other. Under the other side of
the walk the curb wall Is parallel with
stone foundation for posts and a
fence. On this foundation and on the
base of the curb wall rails are laid.
Iron columns are set on the inner wall
supporting Orders level with the top of
he curb wall and marking the line be-
tween the sidewalk proper and the So
Jailed area space. A wire fence con-
aects the posts and separates the rail-
'oad from the area space. This space
will be for stairways and entrances to
easements. With the curb-wall. grid
srs and bases of buildings for support,
prismatic walk is laid for the purpose
" admitting light into the space below.
Electricity is to be the motive power.
The speed, the plan sets forth, will not
se less than tnirty miles an hour, and
nay in Some cases be AZ high as sixty
niles an hour. One of the advantages
blamed for the road is that It will con-
Sert the Easements of buildings into
valuable property. This and other cir

Destroying the Hessian Fly.

w. G. Latta of Purdue University
gives the following advice: Owing to
the prevalence and destructiveness Of
the Hessian fly this year, concerted eff
forts should be put forth to prevent a
recurrence of its ravages upon the next
wheat crop. In order to prevent Sc
rious attack of "the fly" the following
measures should be adopted:
1. Thoroughly burn all fiy-infested
wheat stubbe in which there is not a
stand Of young clover or grass.
3. Prepare very early border. one
of two rods wide, around each field of
wheat, and SOW the same to wheat in
August
3. Turn this border under very late.
using a jointer, following with roll
and harrow, and then SOW the entire
field.
BY taking this course many of the
insects which escape the fire will be
buried when the early-sown border ia
turned under, and the late sowing of
the general crop will avoid the earlier
attacks of any remaining Fly"
II these precautions are carefully and
generally observed by the farmers the
Hessian ny will not seriously damage
the next wheat crop. United effort ia
necessary to be effective.

tions and experiments 60 to prove that
the coil and climate Of the Hawaiian
