Hurt in Runaway Accident.

HURT IN Runaway Accident.
OnTaursdsy of last week Miss Stella
johnson and Miss Minnie Sudman, of
Chappell, were seriously injured in q
runaway accident. They we're driving
in cart upon the streets in Chappell
when their horse became frightened
and ran. The cart was overturned aud
the young ladies were thrown to the
ground, alighting upon their heads.
Both we're seriously hurt, Miss Johnson
being more seriously injured than her
companion. DR.. Babcock OF Julesburg
was sent for and hastened to the
scene of the accident. He found the
young ladies suffering considerably
from the shock Of the fall, Miss John
son being unconscious. Neither, how
ever, had suffered any fractured bones.
Proper medical attention was given
and the latest reports received here
are to the effect that the young ladies
are getting along nicely.

them, but even in this particular there
would not be so much risk to life and
limb as now exists from the fight that
comes daily with rush hours.
An expert engineer says in reference
to the matter: 1.-THE platforms can be
operated with perfect safety. No pas
senger can be run over or run into.
There can be no falling off between
cars, no collision, and, therefore, most
important of all, no danger of a break
down."
Some particularly nervous people
imagine that there will be difficulty
in stepping from one platform to the
other, but the difference will not be
noticeable. If the platform is moving
at the rate of ten miles an hour, the
passengers will have to overcome. a
disturbance equal to the speed of
about two and half miles an hour.
The level of the platforms will differ
only two inches, so that to mount from
one to the other will not be more diff
ficult than getting on a trolley car
when it is moving very slowly.
The company organized to build and
operate the movable platforms are
ready to have the system in operation
in year from the present time. They
also ask for control of the trolley cars
which they might run over the bridge
between rush hours If preferable to the
public.

The moving platform system as 1T
has been worked out for the big bridge
is simple enough. According to the
plans of the company passengers will
approach them from the floor up
through large holes or wells, around
which will run three platforms, NOV
ing at different rates of speed. Ar
irving from the entrance the passen-
gers will step onto platform moving
at the rate of two and a half miles an
hour. From this they will get onto an
other moving at a speed of five miles
an hour. Next they will pass on to an
other moving at a speed of seven and a
half miles an hour, from this finally
reaching the main platform which
moves at at the rate Of ten miles an
hour.
The latter will be fitted with seats
with ample room, but only about for
four people sitting abreast, and with
liberal space between them. Outside
of these seats will be a wide space left
open for those who do not care to be
seated, and if these choose to walk

lack of physical charms on the part
of the young ladies themselves, nor
do they lack in that comfortable "dot"
that is deemed so necessary by our
French cousins. Starvation wages
are unknown in Gloversville and many
of the girls earn more than $100 a
month. Investigation shows this abb
surd state Of things to be due, first
to the aboriginal Indians, and, second,
to the Mckinley tariff.
Way back in the early history of the
county, when the sole feminine por-
ton of what grew to be this thriving
town consisted of dusky Pocahontases,
attired in neglige blankets and a few
neat but not gaudy beads, the Indians
of this section became noted for their
superior methods of curing deerskins.
Now, these soft tanned hides were
particularly fine for the rude-shaped
mittens of the frontiersman, and thus
sprang up the industry which was
eventually to give Gloversville it's
name.
While the first making of mittens
was women'S work, the invention of
cutting dies which, laid upon a pile of
skins, would cut half dozen patterns
at time, required the brawny arms
of the hardy male. Slowly from the
first wagon load shipped to Boston in
1923 this industry grew, but only the

much she had heard ABOUT him. She
said he had an Interesting Face. He
had a Notion to come back, but he
didn't think it would be right.
She said that very few People un-
derstood her-that she was not Bad
at Heart, but merely out for Good
Time. Then she said about 100000
other Things along the same Lines
that he did not recall afterward be-
cause he was trying to figure out some
Scheme to Break Away.
The Bunko Man had the Nectarine

Fare to Be One Cent.
A fare of 1 cent is to be charged
for travel on these movable platforms
if they are installed.
The great point of advantage with
this arrangement will be its immense
capacity which naturally depends up
on its speed and width At ten miles
an hour 10000 persons can be easily
transported, and if a higher speed be-
comes necessary the demand can be
met with the same machinery, ten
miles not being the limit but the mean
figure.
Another great charm for the traveller
in a hurry or otherwise will be that
a seat on a moving platform is ac-
cessible the moment a person reaches
a station. The jostling crowd and
the waiting will therefore both be dis
pensed with, griSt to the increased
comfort of everybody.
The capacity of the track of a NOV
ing platform will be equal to that of
four tracks for crowded trolley cars,
and with this difference, that while
on the moving platform every passen-
ger may have a seat there will be two
thirds Of those on the trolley cars
standing.
These cars will run in a train forming
a continuous line and moving, as stat
ed, at a proposed speed of ten miles
an hour.
There will be an oval-shaped loop
at each terminal, access to the cars
to be obtainabIe from these platforms,
each three feet wide. circulating in
side the loops. Incoming and outgo-
ing passengers will be kept separate,
these platforms connecting naturally
with the regular ones which cross the
bridge
The only objection to the movable
platforms yet raised is that they might
constitute difficulty for invalids and
for cripples who might want to need

The idle clerks stop gossiping in the
doorways and rush behind their coun-
tiers. Soon from the outskirts approach
the chatter of feminine tongues, the
swish of skirts, the sound of countless
daintily shod feet A minute later,
like an advancing flood, great wave
of femininity sweeps down the road.

coarser grade of gloves, made from
the heavier skins, were manufactured,
and still the men were by far in the
majority, until the fateful Mckinley
tariff bill> passed congress. Deity in
serted among it's provisions was one
that was destined to condemn many
a buxom maid to solitary spinster-
hood. There was nothing in the
clause itself that smacked of the
woman hater.
There was no item fixing a duty on
the valuation they placed upon them
SelveS-Which, of course, would have
proved prohibitive tax. Indeed, there
was nothing that apparently affected
either sex, married or single, at all.
It was simply a dry, businesslike item
declaring heavy impost on the finer
grades of ladies' imported gloves.
Male Fingers Not Dainty Enough.
The immediate result of the passage
of this law was an era of unparalleled
prosperity for the little town. For,
now that the finer grades could be
manufactured at handsome profit,
owing to the protective tariff, the field
for Gloversville's industry had widen
ed. But, behold how of necessity ev
cry silver lining has it's cloud, male
fingers were far too rough and clumsy
to sew the delicate skins into the slen-
der shapes required for feminine
hands.
So from the manufacturers cry
arose for girls, more girls-and still
more girls. The work was light and
easy, the wages high; from all the
villages round about the country lasses
responded to the call, and the pOpula-
ton of the town rose by leaps and
bounds to 10000.
The disgruntled men, finding their
occupation gone, moved for the most
part westward, where the heavier glove
trade had been gradually drifting. AT
first this masculine emigration was
noted with naught save natural feel
ing of triumph by the superseding fe-

The lazy river, stream beds dry,

The garish jay, the fussy wren,
Find refuge in the messy glen.

Silent the grouse's f1uttering drum
Lone nidnight's hush enthralls wan noon,
And nature rests as in a Swoon.
