Accidents have increased with the ad-
vent of the wheel, and there have been
hints dropped from time to time about
a possible rise in the rate of insur-
ance because of this new factor in the
business. Directors Of the big acct
dent companies look atethe weekly
losses paid upon theselrisks and groan,
but they are helpless rise cannot
be made until it can.be done equita-
bly, The rates on accident insurance
are based upon figures accumulated
through a long course of experience.
Good insurance mem sayiGit generally
takes from five to six years to get
these figures into shape. AT the pres
ent time these statistics are not COM
plete enough for Intelligent compila-
ton. The rise will not come until they
are complete. {-t7.

the wheelmen and wheelw6men deserve
consideration from city authorities,
and their interests should be looked
after just as are the interests Of other
taxpayers. Wheelmen as a rule are
taxpayers and property owners. The
city builds good streets or streets that
are fair for the convenience and &C

and for traffic vehicles. The tremen-
dous increase in the number of BIZ

urally entities the users of these BIZ
cycles to the comfort and 'conveniences
of streets suited to them. Wheelmen
also deserve consideration from street
sprinklers. There is no sense in pour
ing gallons and gallons Of water on
the street surface, turning this surface
into mud and slime. when sprinkling
will answer the purpose just as we'll.
1t is we'll known fact that the wet
street or sloppy street is not only dir

vehicles. There have been numerous
accidents caused entirely by sloppy
streets. A dry path, say, six feet
wide. through the center or on each
side of the street would have saved
those accidents.

a Washington dispatch to the
Tribune ,oday ssys that the Supreme
Court OF the United States has rem
dcred decision In the case Of Thomas
w. Jones VS. Hired G. Brim, affirming
decision OF the Suprems court Of the
State OF Utah, written by Justice
Miner and handed down on the 2nd OF
June, 1896.
The action in this case was first
brought by Brim, who was then q road
supervisor OF district No. 2 in summit
county, to recover damages for rolling
stone into tho highway off a hillside
In Summit county.
The history OF tine case IL a. follow:
On the 10th OF June, 1898, Brlm filed
a complaint in the Justices court at
Echo precinct, Summit county, and
the case was tried before Il. G.. Morse,
Justice OF the peace for hat precinct.
In the complaint plaiuun alleged
that on the Sth Of May, 1893, defend
ant, as the owner OF II jcA Of sheep,
drove them over the highway coz

alleged to have damaged .he highway
and bauks by rollus puk- or stones
into and upon such hig way. Ten
dollars damages ere claimed, together
with ouets OF suit.
Toe attorneys for defendant Fl eli
demurrer, alleging that the complaint
did not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute a cause OF actinp. The demurrer
was overruied anu junr ment rendered
In favor Of the plain, # me case was
appealed by Jones to me Third dis
:rict court, when II was heard before

above result.
The case is important in this that

SENATORIAL DEADLOCK,

Feb. q 1897.
To the Editor:
To be relieved from the dark spectre
OF the senatorial deadlock would be as
great boon as any that could bs con-
ferred on those who, by taxation, are
supplying the funds for the "wsrfsre
OF the toga" that has been waging in
our State Legislature for 70 mnuy
days OF the sixty allotted by the Con-
stitution as the full term Of the legis-
lntlve life. Twenty-three days OF that
life are now exhausted. Not only
has the sum OF SO, 900 been expended
OF money designed to provide needed
egislation for the next TWO years, but
the valuable time which 10 passing by

in an apparently useless effort to elect
senator. And this deadlock IL
brought about by the persist
eucy of tho .eading candidates to
''get there" regardless OF cost to
tho public or tho drafts upon, some
believe, their own sslt.respoci. II Is
true, as Charles Resue says, we should
"put ourselves In their places" But
when that IL done In imagination,
am constrained TO believe that IL "a
goHtleman's nRme has been presented
over forty times, or even tenth OF
that number, without obtaining the
necessary votes To elect, he should feel
Rs though the Office was not "seeking
the man" by an overwhelming ms-
iority. And a desire TO be considered
"the noblest Roman OF them all !"
would, 1t seems 10 me, cause him who
hal such an ambition, to annuunce
hie withdrawal from tue col Il ct, In
the interest OF the public or at least Of
suffering overtnxel humanity. All
