Hay Measurement

The following rule used by the United
States in its purchases Of hay offers to
the farmers a practical, simple and east
ly understood rule for the determination
Of the number of tons in a stack of hay.
Measure the distance from the bottom
of one side of the stack over the stack,
to the bottom of the other side Of the
stack. This may be done by a rope.
Then measure the width Of the stack,
and subtract the width from the first, or
over measurement. Divide the remain
der by 2. Multiply the quotient thus
obtained by the length Of the stack, and
divide by 512, if stack has stood less than
30 days, and by 422 il more than 81 days.
EXAMPLE.
Over measurement, 40 feet; width 20
feet; length 80 feet.
40 minus 20 equals 90. 90 divided by
2 equals 10. 10x50x20 equals 10000.
10000 divided by 512 equals number OF
tons

ACCIDENT AT DEAN.
Ed. Uren Has q Miraculous Escape
From Being Killed.

Ed. Uren, who has been employed at
Dean for several months, met with an
accident while at work in the mine Tues
day and had a narrow escape from being
killed. He and James Robinson, his
partner, were at work timbering in the
shaft, that the company is sinking to
make connections with their new tunnel,
and we're down about As feet. Jas.
Robinson was swinging in the shaft in a
bucket and was finishing a set that they
had put In and had placed q hammer he
was using on the set and in some manner
or other the bucket struck the hammer
and it fell striking Mr.. Uren who was
on a staging some % feet below, on the
back Of the head. The blow knocked
Mr.. Uren from the staging and he fell to
the bottom Of the shaft among a pile of
rocks, a distance of 20 feet. Immediate
ly his partner called for help and several
miners rushed to where the unfortunate
man lay and found him in al luscious
ness state and bleeding profusely about
the head and face. He was brought to the
surface and it was found that his head
wat badly lacerated aud cut and his
upper lip was cut open for nearly half
an in h and his face was also cut and
scratched. He was Immediately brought
down on the stage aud DIR. Hood attend
ed to his injuries. 1t was thought that
he probably might have been injured in
~ternally but after a careful examination
his only injuries are those about the
head and face, aside from a few bruises
he received about the body from his fall.
The hammer that struck HIM on the
head weighed about 8 IL pounds, and
that he was not killed instantly from the
blow is miraculous. We are glad to
note that his injuries were not any worse
and by careful nursing will be as good
as ever in a few days.

month ago has been used in u sta
bles under the direct supervision of
Jul surgeon or a large number of
cases. In all cases where a lipiment is

the good opinion first formed Of Trib.
Here is MI. Moneys testimony:
"To Trib Company: During a life
time spent in the livery business /
have used many liniments. / first
used Trib on the sprained ankle of a
horse. 1t helped the horse right away
and in ten days he was at work sound
in limb. l have used it on many

Last Nights $ Concert.

Tho complimentary concert given last
night by tho Citizens Band oh the cor
ner OF Fourth and Main streets, drew
out very large crowd to hear the fine
program arranged.
The concert was given at the request
OF a number Of citizens on Main street,
and Director Boyer issued an especially
good program for the occasion. A We y
noticeable thing last night was the llb-
erai applause granted the band at the
conclusion OF those numbers which
seemed to please Grand junction au
diences are proverbiall, cold. but the
splendid music OF last night seemed to
make them unbend.
There we're twenty six members OF the
band present and the vo'ume OF music
was most exc lent and the harmony
equally good.
Many OF the old timers who were one
time admirers OF the oil, Silver Crescent
band, which did much to ADVERTISE this
city, we're reminded OF that organization
bv last nights concert
While all the numbers we're z Cd there
were several which seemed to please
more particularly than others. The
third rumber, Harvest Days" medley
and overture, was delightfully."- given
with much expression.
The sixth number, Remembrance OF
Naples" an old but ever new piece, was
one OF the choice selections OF the even
ing's Program. Almost all the large
crowd OF listeners at once recognized
this charming piece and applauded lib
orally mt the cor clusiou OF its rendition.
"rhe Fairies Filtration" was also we'll
rendered and enjoyable.
Taking the concert as a whole it was
one OF the very bes. rendered this season.
A noticeable thing WAS the absence OF
any Of the rag time" melodies. While
these are inspiriting they become very
wearison.e, after being hashed and re-
hashed.

RAGING TORRENT
IN CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. q
With the breaking Of dawn yes
terday the citizens of Cleveland
awoke to look upon a scene of
unparalleled devastation and de-
struction, caused by a raging
flood. While the entire city was
more or less affected, the great
volume of raging water vented
its anger over miles of the eastern
portion of the city and caused an
amount of damage approximated
at 81. 600, 900.
The appalling overflow was
caused by terrific rain that COM
menced to fall shortly after two
O'Clock, turned into perfect
cloudburst between the hours of
3 and 5 o'clock, and then contin-
ued with great force until nearly
10 o'clock. The storm, accord
ing to the weather officials, was
the heaviest that ever swept over
Cleveland since the establishment
of the government bureau in this
city over forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is moth
ing short of a miracle, as stories
of thrilling escapes from the
water on several of the principle
residence streets of the city are
told.
The surging waters spread
over an area in the east end near
ly eight miles long and a half
wide This extended from Wood
land Hills avenue to East Cleve-
land, and back to East Madison
avenue.
Over a large share of this ex-
elusive residence territory the
water rushed with terrific force.
varying in depth from one to SIX
feat. Culverts. trestles and
bridges were torn down, nothing
seemed capable of stemming the
tide of destruction.
Hundreds of residents who
were imprisoned in their beauti-
full homes like stranded islanders
were almost panic-stricken, ex-
pecting to be called upon to wade
out into the swirling waters all
most every minute. Danger sig
mails were flashed about the city
as speedily as the disabled tele-
phone system would allow, and
the work of rescue commenced. |

TRUNK TROLLEY LINE
System Projected to Connect New York
and Buffalo by Electric Cars.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. Gap
italists in this section of the state
who are largely interested in
traction companies, make the pos
tive statement that within from
three to five years New York City
and Buffalo, $50 miles distant,
will be connected by a double
track trolley road. The road will
have its beginning, as all trunk
lines have had their beginnings,
in the construction and operation
for a time Of a number of short
lines, which, when connected, will
form a continuous whole, though
under the management of several
companies. In this the method
of formation of what is now the
New York Central will be follow
ed. 1t is not expected that the
trolley trunk line will be a rival
to the New York Central in any
respect, the trolley making a field
for itself entirely distinct from
that of the Central. TIE new
sllnk line will have it's tributary
roads at every town of 1000 or
more inhabitants, reaching into
distant sections on either side of
the main line. Its strong point
will be the sshort'haul" precise
ly as the long haul"is the strong
point of the steam trunk lines.

COLOGNE, Sept. "a dispatch
to the Cologne Gazette from
Teheran, dated Aug. 81, says:
"a widespread revolutionary
movement is going on in Persia,
fostered by discomfort with the
government on account of the
new loan negotiations with
Russia. The Grand Vizier is
accused of selling the country
and failing to make reforms.
Martial law has been proclaimed
in the capital and environs.
''The agitation, it is said. pro-
ceeds from the encourage of the
Shah, who frequently finds
threatening letters upon his writ
ing table,"

when the young woman drank
the cup of carbolic- acid. She
fell to the floor unconscious, and
three hours later died, despite
the efforts of physicians. Five
minutes before she had kissed
her husband good-by as he start
ed to his work. Then she poured
the acid in cup and placed 1t on
a table. After these prepara-
tions she called a child in the
neighborhood and sent it to over
take her husband. He returned
and found his wife awaiting him.
In her hand was the cup and the
acid. Her eyes were bright and
she smiled.
"Tom, I'm going to take pois-
on" she said.
The boy husband laughed,
never suspecting she meant it.
Then she placed the cup to her
lips.
81 am unhappy" was all she
said before swallowing the pois-
on. Doctors were unable to re-
vive her.

of one thing, whether we wish it
or not, we cannot avoid hereafter

do is to settle whether we. shall
perform these duties well or ill.
Let US further make il evi

speech is always moderate we
are ready and willing to make
good.

you let Christianity stop as you
60 out the church door, there is
little righteousness in you. You
have got to behave to your fellow
men as you would have them be-
have to you. You have got to have
pride in your work if you would
succeed. The man who works
for the love of the work is the
one who succeeds. 1 do not mean
to say that good wages should not
be sought. A man shoald get
justice for himself, but he should
also do justice to others. We
often hear of man Who is called
his own worst enemy. When
you hear of that kind ola man
you may be certain that some
one depending upon him, usually
his family, is being wronged.
"With sweetness we must have
strength. We must have power
to do work under discourage
ments. If under a strain you lay
down you are weak, but if you
push on you will come out ahead
in life. But remember, in all
this we have got to do our duty
to our neighbor as well as to our
selves. In standing up for our
rights we should not trample on
the rights of others. Help them
along. Help man to help him.

efforts in helping man who will
not help himself"
At the Gideon meeting in the
afternoon Vice President Roose
velt was received with cheers.
He said:
Il consider the most practical
form of applying Christianity is
to be seen through the works of
such bodies as this. The Chris
tianity that counts is the kind
that is carried into a mans life.
| know you and your work and l
know that / am addressing men
who are carrying on the business
of the nation and carrying Chris

it for the Lord. l don't like to
