TWO CARS DETAILED

Under the Water street bridge at o'clock yesterday morning two cars of live stock were derailed One of the two jumped through a frog and went off the track, pulling the second one with it. It took about two hours for the wrecking crew to put them on the track again. The train was running slow and the cars did not turn over; consequently none of the animals was injured. Traffic was resumed at eight o'clock.

Dogs That Are Able Seconders of the
Chase.
This branch or sport has a host OF
earnest supporters throughout the
northern states and Canada and many
fine dogs are kept for the sole purpose
of driving the white fellows, says a
contributor to Outing. Some hunters
use native foxhounds and crossbreeds,
such as are used to drive deer. Need
less to say the man who regularly
hunts deer and hares will keep certain
hounds for each kind of work. Hounds
on a deer hunt. owing to their tend
ency to follow the lesser game when
the greater is wanted. Smart barriers
are excellent for hares, but perhaps
the hest dogs for the purpose are good
sized beagles. These enterpr.sing fell
lows are unexcelled as trailers and
have fine voices. while they are Just
large enough to have the necessary
speed. The very, small beagles will
trail enthusiastically and make fine
music but they are comparatively slow.
Moreover. their short underpinning is
not the best pattern for work in deep
snow, in which the cream Of the hunt
ing is usually to be had. The very
small beagle is a dear little dog, true,
game and interesting, but he shows
to best advantage on the trail OF the
"cottontail."

tering.
1t is we'll known that alum will ~
move organic and other matters from
water so as to render 1t clear and
pure; but it is now said that fluoride
is superior to alum for this purpose,
says Mechan's Monthly. One ounce OF
f1uoride Is used to every 1000 gallons
of water. After all. the best kind OF
purifier Is natures own. The minute
organisms known as bacteria are the
chief causes Of the impurity OF drink
ing water. These invisible creatures
have to live as we'll as their larger
brethren, and they must eat to live.
AS soon as they have eaten all In the
water that there Is to feed on they die.
DR.. FARMLAND has recently stated.
from his recent examination of water
stored for two weeks, that it seems as
pure and free from bacteria life as II
it had passed through the best OF fl
tiers, but it seems strange that this
should have SO recently come under
DR.. Frankland's experience. Every
! one knows that there is no purer or
better water in the world than that
which is supplied to seafaring people.
Almost any kind of water stored away
in ships tank becomes absolutely
pure after the vessel has been few
weeks at sea. This is usually ascribed
in popular language to fermentation,
but there is really nothing to ferment;
it is simply that the bacteria have
eaten everything in the water there is
to eat and then died of starvation.

Among the curious results OF the re-

most interesting from. many points of
view is the election OK Matte Hughes
Cannon to the state senate of Utah by
an immense plurality ovc- her Oppo-
nent, Angus NJ. Cannon, who, alas for
the future peace and quiet Of the Cam

Cannon into the Utah state senate may.
however, exercise q perturbing influ
ence over a wider circle than that
which circuuIscribes the domestic realm
OF Mr.. Cannon.
The prospect Of the election Of wo-
men to the higher legislative assem-.
blies has filed some apparently un-
prejudiced observers with alarm be-
cause OF the paralyzing effect which it
Is feared their presence may have upon
debates. The relations which nature
and usage have established between
man and woman would mako rudeness
impossible. Men would be restrained
from saying what they might have to
say in the manner to which they are
accustomed among themselves. 1t
would be difficult for a male DICTATOR
to say folly is folly II the utterer OF
the remarks open to such criticism
should happen to be a woman. Debate
would cease to be an engine for the
calculation of fundamental truths and

Mr. Eustis made the statement tnat
while the named rate in most or the
western states was three cents per
mile the actual amount received IS
considerably less than that sum. ms
Is due to the fact that the railroad nav
luc long line between two polnts
cannot charge more than the rate
fixed Ly q road having shorter line,
and 10 excursion rates demanded ny
The Dcople, all of which reduce the
average rate materially.
But the most surprising assertion
made by Mr.. Eustis was that the west
ern roads, with possibly one or two IN
diyidual exceptions, carry passengers
at an actual loss. The st. LOUIS,
Keokuk & Northwestern was cited as
an instance. Mr.. Eustis produced
statement of the expense on that ROAD

rate.
The report of the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission referring to the
railroads OF Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin,

kotas and Missouri lying east OF the
Missouri river shows that it cost the
railroads twoand three one-thousandths

of the kind. Mr.. Eustis declared that

| It was shown that lower rates do not

we're cited where reductions from four

| three cents per mile did not result in

| Answering the question as to wheth-
er or not rates in Europe were not
lower than in this country, Mr.. Eustis
showed that while the third class rate
on some European lines is lower, the
second class rates, which are paid by
the great travelling public. are higher
than American rates. The conveniences

Europe are not TO be compared with
