A bloody Record.

A summary Of the accidents
which took place on the Fourth
shows that rs are dead and more
than 5000 wounded as result Of
unwise celebration. This list is one
that makes most of the battles Of
the Spanish war look sick by com.
parison. There is lesson to be
learned for the list but it is not al
all probable that the Lesson will be
learned. Next year even more are
to be expected to pass away with
suddeness if not neatness.

that the attendance on the recitals

for this reason many people stay

business man in Hope. Iexpect
Hope would be like a strange city
