The Annual Accident Roll.

The Chicago Tribune has for several
years made a specially of fourth OF Jul,
accidents. Its report for Saturday is 2s
killed and ], ,4s5 injured. Last year the
first reports were 81 killed and 2,l72 in
jured. These figures will be very ma
terially swelled as later reports are re
ceiyed. Probably the full list Of casual
tiles will never be made up, but enough
will be known to prove that each recur-
ring fourth Of July is as much to be
dreaded as a battle in war, or as the NV
erage pestilence.
The cannon. cracker and toy pistol
lead as agents Of destruction. But this
year loose powder used in various ways
has been the cause of many injuries.
Careless handling of fireworks has made
its usual contribution to the sum Of hu-
man misery. The dead are classified as
follows: By fireworks. ID: by sky rock
cts, 4; by cannon, 3; by firearms, .; by
gunpowder, ,; by toy pistols, 4. There
is slight variation from the proper
tions shown here in the lists OF the in
jured, which are as follows: BY fire
works, 335; by sky rockets, 35; by can
non, 107; by firearms, 435; by gunpowder,
AL; by toy pistols, BOB; by runaways, 10.
Philadelphia reports 5l4 injuries. and
leads. New York City reports 62. Sew
enty-six Chicagoans suffered, while
Bridgeport, Connecticut, reports 81 in
juries: Beatrice, Nebraska, 40; Blooming
ton, Illinois, AZ; Cleveland, Ohio, 40, etc.
More varieties of accidents are reported
in all Of the cities than ever before,
which proves that the inventive genius
OF the people is not dying out. 1t is not
possible to foresee what another year
may have in store.

People quit growing old at forty half
century ago, says an exchange. They
quit it when they ceased thinking them
selves old at forty, ceased dressing old at
forty, not to speak of drinking themselves
old at forty. The young man of fifty or
sixty years now wears the natty sack
tweeds or serges that his son or grandson
wears, tipped off with a iaunty hat. He
goes to base ball, the races; he keeps up
with the procession and is all in for a
good time in moderation, healthfully.

cat.rrb of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is taken into it that fails to digest,
it decays and infiames the mucous mem
brane, exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secrete mucin, instead of
the natural juices of digestion. This is
called catarrh of the stomach, caused by
indigestion. Doctors and medicines

Railroads No Substitute.
OF course, during the last century
there has been altogether phenomenal
growth in one kind of road, wholly
unknown to the people of the old-the
iron road. The railway is, of course,
something purely modern. Now, a
great many excellent people have pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that,
somehow or other, having good rail
ways are a substitute for having good
highways ordinary roads. A
more untenable position cannot be i'm
agined. applause. } What the rail
road does is to develop the country
and, of course, it's development implies
that the country will need more and
better roads. (Aplause.)
A few years ago, it was a matter
| am tempted to say, of national hui
initiation that there should be so lit
tie attention paid to our rOads-that
there should be a willingness not mere
ly to refrain from making good roads,
but to let the roads that were in eX-
istence become worse; and l can not
too heartily congratulate our people
upon the existence of body such as
this, ramifying into every section of
the country, having it's communica-
lions in every state of the country
and bent upon this eminently practical
work of making the conditions of life
easier and better for the people who,
of all others we can best afford to
see grow discontinued with their lot
in life-the people who live in the
country districts. (Aplause.)

of rate of our industrial development

during the past seventy-fve years,
together with the good sides has had
some evil sides. 1t is a fine thing
to see our cities built up, but not at
the expense of the country districts
(Applause) The healthy thing is to
see the building up of both the city
and country. But we can not expect
the best, the most eager, the most
ambitious young men to stay in the
country to stay on the farm, unless
they have certain advantages. If
farm life is a life of isolation and
mental poverty, life in which it is
a matter of great difficulty for one man
to communicate with his neighbOr,
be a tendency to leave it on the part
of those very people whom we should
most wish to see stay on the farm.
1t is good thing to encourage in
every way any tendency to check an
unhealthy flow from the country to
the city. (Applause.) There are sew
eral tendencies in evidence. The
growth of electricity as applied to
means of transportation tends to a
certain degree to exercise centrifu-
gal force to offset the centripetal force
of steam. Exactly as the uses of
steam have tended to gather men into
masses, SO now electricity, as applied
to transportation, has tended to scat
ter them out again. Tralley lines run
ring out into the country are doing a
great deal to render it possible to live
in the country, and yet not lose the
advantages of the town. The tele-
phone is not to be minimized as an
instrument with a tendency in the
same direction. Rural free delivery
is playing it's part along the same
lines. But no one thing can do as
much to offset the tendency toward an
unhealthy trend from the country into
the city as the making and keeping
of good roads.
They are needed for the sake of
their effects upon the industrial con-
ditions of the country districts, and |
am almost tempted to say that they
are needed even more for their effect
upon the social conditions of the coun-
try. If winter means to the average
farmer the existence of long line of
liquid morasses, through which he has
to move his goods if bent on business,
or to wade and swim if bent on pleas
ure if winter means that, if an Ordi-
nary rain comes, the farmers girl
or boy can not use his or her bicycle,
if little heavy water means a stop

have got to expect that there will be
a great many young people of both
sexes who won't find farm life attract

When we speak of the Romans, we
speak of them as rulers, as conquerors,
as administrators, as road builders.
There were empires that rose over
night and fell overnight; empires
whose influence was absolutely eV-
anescent, which passed away without
leaving a trace of their former exist

lished his rule, the traces of that rule
remain deep today, stamped on the
