The unusually dry summer and
scarcity Of water has made the water
in the wells in town very low. Well
water is zone to good when the water
is high and fresh, but when it gets
low it is is just a little better than no
water at all so far as regards the
health of the consumer. Typhoid fe-
yer and all kinds of stomach and
bowel disorders follow the use of well
water at this time of the year. Well
water should be boiled before drink
ing, if it is drank at all, but it is far
better to get water from the river for
drinking purposes at this time of the
year. Running water purifies itself
every half mile and the water in the
swift running Platte is about as pure
as water can get. If great care is not
used w may look for an epidemic of
stomach and bowel trouble during
the month of September. 1t has al
ready made its appearance in two or
three Localities in town.
Every well that is used for family
purposes should be thoroughly
cleaned and the water drawn out two
or three times before it is used. Too
much care cannot be taken in this
matter and We advise immediate ac-
ton.

Thomas Ellis, a man who has been
driving a freight team for j. H. Ky
mer, met with a very serious accident
Saturday morning, just opposite the
house Of j. F. Crawford, on the road
south of town. He had started out
with a six horse outfit which had
dwindled down to two. While stand
ing near, one of the horses kicked
over the trace and caught his left arm
below the elbow, breaking it short off.

City improvements.

The heavy rain of last week reveal
ed the fact that we still have some
duck ponds, here and there, in our
streets, Notwithstanding the large
amount of valuable work the city ia
theirs have been doing on them. We
would respectively call their attention
to the half graded condition of First
st. in front of the livery stable of d.
S. Richmond and +. n. Larson's Gro
Gerry store. A very little work would
place that street on grade and would
much improve the appearance of the
town. The improvement in the APP
pearance of the town, by the grading
already done, is simply marvellous.
Let the good work go ON. Mayor
Clemmons has done many things
which commend him to the citizens
Of the town.

temporary Reyiesor have attracted wide at

Sir Robert GYiffen, the well-kn0wn statisti
clan, and III. Morgan Browne, the latter Of
whom in the same revieso adduces class
of facts proving British progress to counter.
act the facts Of his opponent suggesting
economic decay,
The upshot Of the controversy is that the
intelligent reader is left to make the best he
can out of the mass Of statistics presented to
him. He NUT interpret the Interpreters;
but il is safe to say that the facts setforth
by Mr.. Morgan Browne in his article will
commend themselves to the general reader
as being more easily understood and less
able to be controverted. He points out q
list of fallacies which have vitiated the
method of his opponent, and against the
disappointing returns of the corning pos0er
of corporations he sets the broad fact of the
condition of the masses. Briefly, he con.
tends that if an average Englishman of to-
day is better housed, better fed and better
dressed than he was thirty years ago the.
country in which that improvement has
taken place cannot possibly be going to the
dogs in the sense of economic decline.
AS to house room, the census of 1871
showed that the average number of persons
to huuse in the United Kingdom was 5.5;
at present it is 5.15. This is reduction
of 35 per cent in the number of persons per
house. In the last thirty years the popula-
tion of Great Britain has increased by 20 per
cent, while the number of assessed houses
has increased by 48 per cent, Another ar.
gument against the allegation of economic
decline\can be made from the character and
quantity of the food consumed by the mas.
ses. The fair trader builds his most lugub.
rious argument of ruin upon the fact that
lmost of this food is imported, while British
agriculture is declining; but his opponent
simply rejoices in the fact that the masses
are better fed than they used to be, without
troubling himself where the food is obtain
ed. One suggestive statistical proof of the
fact is that the British people, in spite OF
the terrible economic decay that has overt
AIKEN them, have been able in the last gener
alton to increase their annual ratio of meat
from II pounds to 104 pounds head.
The problem of pauperism has always been
a decisive test of British prosterity. In
1928 the psupers in the United Kingdom
were in 20 of the population; in 1900 they
were to 40. Even the returns from foreign
and colonial investments do not bear out
the protectionist contention that England is
living on her capital. The income from
these has increased from 229, ,948, 900 in

As A EngIandS Economic Decay

During the last few months vigorous
controversy has been going on in the lead
ing British reviews, in achich the advocates
of protection, thinly disguised as ''fair
trade,n have contended that Great Britain
is in an economic decline, position aChich
the free traders have emphatically opposed.
The latest trade returns, in aOhich the un-
usual feature of decline of imports has been
noted, is taken in some quarters quite as
seriously as decline Of exports aoould be,
seeming to point to a falling off in British
purchasing power. The Interpretation OF

LIMITED TRAINS CRASH.
Seven Killed and Fourteen Hurt In Q
 CalifOrnta Wreck. E


 LOS ANGELES, Cal. Nov. 21.-A fa- tai wreck occurred on the Santa Fe railroad one mile west of Franconia, Ariz., switch station twenty miles east of Needles, Cal, yesterday. Seven trainmen were killed, three passengers and fourteen trainmen injured. Limit ed trains, east and west bound, crash ed together while running at full speed. The eastbound train was drawn by two engines, while the westbound train had but one locomotive. The three engines were crushed and blown to pieces by an explosion which followed the collf- sion. Both trains were made up of ves- tibule cars of the heaviest kind, and while they stood the terrific shock well and protected the passengers to great extent, several of tue cars took fire at once and burned up. The dining cars, one on each train; one Pullman and two composite cars were destroyed.
 Following is list of the dead: F. M. Elligott, engineer; P. F. Goldsmith, fireman; E. F.. Barnhardt, barber; Wal ter Davorage, waiter; W. l.. Case, fire. man; A. H. Armitage, fireman; Sam Brown, waiter. The bodies of the lat ter three are missing.
 The collision is said to have been due to disregarded order by the crew of the westbound train, though full par ticulars on this point are as yet lack mo
