power Of the brakes, and was running
away at a terrific speed, crashed head
on into another heavy freight train
that was waiting to meet the runaway
at the foot Of a steep three-mile grade

too late to ave themselves.
The engineer was injured, two fire.
men and a brakeman were seriously

all would have been well II the air had
not failed to hold the Mount Brad

MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD BARS.

WORLDS FAIR GRoUNGs, ST.. LOUIS,

there was eyer put into an exhibit at
any Exposition" This pyramid, the
plans for which have already been
drawn, will be built to show every
mineral product OF the state Including
gold, silver, coal, iron, clay, etc, It
will take some money to protect that
million dollars in gold. 1t will have
to be guarded by a strong, well-armed
body Of men, both day and night. 1t
is our purpose to have a large burglar
proof safe to keep the gold bars in at
night, and trusty men will keep up
their virgil over them all the time.
The cost of this exhibit will be enor-
nous. The interest on 81, 200, 900 for six
months at 5 per cent will alone amount
to sl2. 500, which is almost as much as
the state Of Massachusetts, proposes to
appropriate for her Worlds Fair ex-
hibit as a whole. Six special guards
to stand watch over the exhibit, at 50

THE NAVY COST HAS DOUBLED.
During the same period the cost OF
the navy has grown from $4,000, 900.
annually TO s7O,OO0, 900 more than
doubling In cost.
The combined cost OF the army and
navy Of the United States is equal to.
a per capita tax Of sells on every man,
woman and child In the United States.
These sums do not include the enor-
nous amounts expended on the army
and navy by officers in the Philip
pines and in Cuba, which were paid
out Of the insular treasures.
To the present time neither the
Philippines, Porto Rico, Guam or
Cuba has Melted anything to the gov

have been a constant drain unon the

on the taxpayers Of the country.
