The Trolley Rux

Along with the glass arm, bicycle
face, tennis shoulder and other things
we now have the trolley buzz" a
buzzling in the ears resulting from
riding trolley cars. The trolley buzz
has no place on the Saint Paul s. Dull
nth railroad. or Duluth Short Line
as it is now popularity termed. All
one hears is the buzz of conversation
above the noise of the train. owing to
the fact that the coaches are ALWAYS
well filled. Especially is it SO during
these summer days, when the drift of
the population is toward the many
summer resorts scattered along this
popular line, from the Twin Cities to
Duluth, West Superior and Taylor's
Falls. Always take the Duluth Short
Line, whether you go on business or
pleasure, and you will always gladly
ana courteously furnish maps, cir
culars and general information. or
they may be obtained direct by writ
ing to Z. q. Stone, general passenger

Last year the dollar had too much
purchasing value. Even VIM. j. Bryan
now contends that the purchasing value
of the dollar has been decl eased by the
advance in the price OF wheat. What
fools our people have been to suppose
that the price OF wheat and other pro-
ducts fiuetuated. According to the
arguments OF these able and astute
fnanciers, the price ofproducts does not
change at all, it is only the fuctuation
in the purchasing value Of the currency.
When we understand their arguments
We will be fully convinced that our gold
dollars have no fixed value. II man
wants to purchase corn, his dollar Is
worth about one hundred cents;and II he
wants to purchase wheat,itis worth only
fifty cents, and so on through the whole
list of products. the value OF the dollar
ia constantly changing, while that OF
the products remains the same. What a
pity some Of the free silver advocates so
hastily admitted that the value OF pro-
ducts depended upon the supply and the
demand, They could have so easily held
on to their old argument and said that
1t was all on account of the huctuating
value of the currency as "they always
sontended."

COUNTERPAEIOF THE SANTA
END COLLISION.
New Castle, Col Sept. O.-Tbe
most disastrous railway wreck
that has ever happened in Colorado
occurred at 1918 o'clock this
morning, 4 mile ani a half east
of this town. Denver aud Rio
Grsnde Passenger Train No. l..
westbound collided With Colorado
Midland stock train going east,
wreckiDg both engines and several
cara in both trains. Shortly after
the collision fire broke out in the
ruins. The mail, baggage and ex-
press ears, smoker, day coach and
a tourist sleeper were burned. A
number of passengers who were
not killed outright, but who were
pinped in the wrecksge and could
no. be extracted, persisted in the
flames. There were about 200 pas
sensers. Il 10 estimated that 20
persons we're KILLED and "a many
more bruised, scslded aud burned,
OF whom over six are likely TO die
of their injaIies.
The accident occurred at the
worst possible point. Two minutes
running time and they would have
a, o,ded the wreck, as each engln-
eer could have seen the approach
If tho other trains. They collided
on a curve or bend around a
mountain aud there was no op'
portunity to avoid the wreck or
even to sIacken their speed. Tue
SURVIVING trainmen say the trains
we're not running fast, but the
facts seem to be that both the
passenger and freight were gong
at foil spet d-about 20 miles an
hour for the passenger and III or
II tor the freight.
II Ia difficult to get particulars
about the dead and Injured, SO
great is the confusion. In sddit

rnIINTY c0llRT DAY,

A moderate crowd was present
last Monday, the first day OF Sept.
County Court. Candidates for the
Legislature were very busy So
licita tons in almost every direction,
could be noticed. From present ap
pearances the ciuch on the nomlna
tiop is not so strong as some parties
imagined q few weeks ago. The
people arc disposed to take q
hand in the work, AMI the fact that
O man asserts that he was an original
free silver coinage, l6 to ], man
does not by any means insure him
the nomination. We find many
plain, sensible farmers who regard
the free silver cEy as q bait by
which some men expect to capture
votes enough to place them in office
and some of these same sensible
farmers are 80 stubborn as to insist
that other qualifications, besides
being free silver man, are necesS
ary for one who aspires to represent
this county in the Legislature. 1t
begins to look like the people in
tend to take part in this contest and
to determine who shall be their rep
resentative.

One good result of the recent
discovery ofthe free silver advocates
is that 1t will put a stop to al
speculation. Under the old iogy
ileas of q few years ago, people
thought that if they would buy III
600 bushels of wheat at 50 cts. q
busheI and hold it until they could
realize $1.00 per bushel that they
would make $4,000 dollars. That
however, was before they had learn
cd that wheat does not appreciate
in price, that it is only the decreas
ed purchasing power. Of the dollar
What fools we mOrtals have been
for centuries. This great discovery
is 80 recent that people generally
have not learned how dangerous 1t
is to hold money, A man may have
an hundred thousand dollars in gold
and in a very few days it may SO
depreciate that it will be worth
but fifty thousand. How much safer
il would be to invest his wealth in
potatoes or some other product that
does not change in value, as is the
case with money, according to the
arguments of some Of our financial
wise men, of the free silver per
sulsiUn.
