Train mileage statistics for 1902 are
taken because the 1908 figures have
not been compiled. From the table
it will be seen that on an average a
passenger train will suffer one col
llsion In the course of running 4O4,-
600 miles and one derailment while
running about 725,0OO. The results as
to freight trains, however, show that
they meet with collisions about five
times as often as do passenger trains
and with derailments about seven
times as often. A partial explanation
of these facts is that three times as
many derailments occur from defects
In rolling stock as occur from defects
In track. Nevertheless the figures seem
to show that there Is at least five times
as much carelessness in moving freight
trains as there is In operating passen-
ger trains. When the greater speed
of the latter Is taken into cOnsidera-
ton, the percentage of carelessness
would probably be even greater
against the freight train movement.
Figures are not given to show how
many passenger train collisions are
with freight trains, but it is known
that the percentage Is large, and there
fore the operation of freight trains has
a most important bearing upon the
safety of the travelling public. It Is
interesting to know that operating Off
Gals have ready explanation for the
greater frequency of accidents in the
freight service. 1t is the inevitable re-
suit, they declare, of picking the flower
Of the englnemen and firemen for the
passenger service. Traffic in both
branches has increased at such an I'M
precedented rate that the draft upon
the freight service for the passenger
of the most experienced and best
crews has left the freight service some
what at the mercy Of inexperienced
men. General managers realize fully
the danger to safe operation that lies
in such rapid growth, but, being COM
PEELED to keep the passenger service
up to the standard, they presumably
have also been compelled to get along
the best they could for the time being
with the freight service.

The common impression prevails
that accidents are more frequent to
passenger than to freight trains, and
that accidents Of the latter kind do
not bear an important relation to the
former. In Analysing the Interstate
Commerce Commissions report Of rail-
road casualties for the quarter ending
Sept. 30, 1908, the Engineering News
gives figures to show that the popular
idea is erroneous. The fact is set forth
in the following table, giving the av-
erage frequency of accidents to NOV

THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
B. L. Bear Tells Why Laxakola Beau
titles the Skin.

Drop in most any time now and you
are apt to see one of the clerks wrap
ping up a bottle of Laxakola. Phoe-
nix ladies have learned of the ramark-
able effect of LaXakola upon the bile
pigments, and the beneficial action 1t
has upon the skin and complexion is
really surprising. Mr.. Bear will tell
you the demand for it is increasing
rapidly, not so much on account of the
advertising, but because this or that
lady drops into the store with the
statement that she has been recon-
mended to try it.
Probably no other remedy ever made
so enviable a reputation in so short a
time, for LaXakola is sold now in al
most every prominent city in America.
Should you need a mild, safe, gentle
liquid laxative that will improve your
appearance, cure constipation and
make you feel better in every way, try
a twenty-five cent bottle of the great
tonic laxative, LaXakola, and your on
~ regret will be that you did not know
of this splendid remedy before.

THE nURPHEY CASE CLOSED
Those Interested Are Still Waiting
for the Verdict.

The trial of the case of former Chief
Clerk w. e. Murphoy of the office of
the surveyor general on a charge of
accepting a bride from Mrs. Emma
Miller of Tucson for the expedition of
work in which she was interested
came to an end in the United States
court yesterday. There is, however
no verdict yet and at this time it does
not appear that one will be found by
the present jury. That was an i'm
preston that prevailed before the ar
guments were ended and in fact before
all OF the evidence was presented.
The taking of testimony was finish
ed on Monday night. The jury was
instructed yesterday morning after the
disposition of business on the terri
torial side of the court. There was a
variety of opinions regarding the eff
feet of the instructions upon the
chances of the defendant and though
it was agreed that they were eminent
~ fair many believed that they could
not be construed as favorable.
The argument for the government
was opened by United States Attorney
Nave in complete review of the tes-
timony. His address was clear and
was pronounced by some OF MS audit
ors to be cold blooded but at any rate
the facts were strongly presented.
Mr.. Nave was followed by Judge
Baker for the defense. If the address
of Mr.. Nave was cold biooded that of
Judge Baker certainly was not and it
grew warmer as the judge proceeded.
He attacked the reliability of the chief
witnesses for the government and
especially the reliability of Inspector
Linnen to whose personal appearance
the eXquisieness OF his dress he devot-
ed a great deal of attention.
Recurring to the evidence he said
that there had been an utter failure
to prove the violation of a law or the
intent to do so. Following the evil
dence of the defendant the judge said
that what he had done and of which
complaint had been made, had been
done BY the direction OF Mr.. Price,
the defendants superior in office. After
all there had been followed a custom

CHEER UP!
Why Worry About Indigestion Wher
Pepsikola Will Give You Relief.

why anyone should worry about
Indigestion" said the head clerk in
Bears drugstore, lis hard for us to I'M
derstand.
I'VE have been selling Pepsikola for
several months and in all our expert
ence we never knew. a remedy to give
such universal satisfaction.
We know four or five chronic old
dyspeptics on the verge of despair for
years who today are cheerful and hap
Ply ali because of the beneficial effects
of the little chocolate coated tablet
taken after each meal.
If people only realized what a Won
derfuI remedy it is and how much good
it has done right in this very town they
would not doubt or hesitate another
minute Words cannot express the
great good it has done in Pho nix and
Pepsikola must be a remedy of more
than unusual merit for if Mr.. Bear had
satisfied customers he would certainly
discontinue selling it on his own per-
sonal guarantee. Ask yourself if this
is not true.
II you are thin, nervous, worried and
low in spirits just cheer up and try a
twenty-five cent box of Pepsikola on
the druggists say so and if it fails 10
give you a new nerve force, new am
bition and new energy you can get
back your money without any question
or argument.

pect OF trade conditions:
General conditions in agricultural.
industrial, mercantile and financial
circles all remain exceptinally sat

al the great divisions of industry and
trade are in as sound and as hopeful
state as they are today In conse-
quence, we have spirit of we'll
grounded confidence that sooner or
later must express itself in increased
industrial activity. Now that conf
dence has been completely restored
by the removal of political uncer-
tainties,, initial forces will have freer
play, enterprise will revive, deferred
projects will be resuscitated; and in
spite of high prices and high cost of
doing business the country will con-
tinue to progress until its rapidly
growing demands arising from the
increase of population are satisfied
by an increase of output. There are
signs here and there of insufficient
production which. in part account for
present high prices, and on this
ground alone there is Justification for
revival of enterprise"

THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD
q THINK BEFORE 1T ACTS.

There is proposition before the
City Council to pass an ordinance re-
curing the Pennsylvania railroad to
place a Waterman at the crossing at
the old Novelty works, also one at
sixth street AT first thought this
might seem good idea, but the fact
must be taken into consideration that
tins railroad company has gone to- a
large expense 10 construct three VIA
ducts over the most principal streets
il, our city, which anyone can use
without very much Inconvenience.
The Pennsylvania company has
done more for Plymouth than any
town between Chicago and Fort
Wayne. Just last week two passen-
ger trans were put into service. start
ing from this station. These train
crews. have become residents of Ply
mouth and will spend their money
here Every passenger train over
this road makes a regular stop at this
place, making it convenient for trav-
cling men and others to pass through
here, stopping at our hotels and
dropping few nickels here and
there. This station also pays dis
charged employees, who spend their
money with our business men. Look
what it means to the city to start a
fight with this company, we will be
in the position of towns like Valpa-
riso and Warsaw with only an occa-
sional train stopping to take on and
let off passengers. We give these facts
as they appear to us and the council
might carefully consider them before
passing the ordinance in question.

Ideas of Indiana Editors.

The prospects of Senator Fairbanks
as a presidential nominee in 1908 are
materially improved by the New York
Sun, which opposes him. The Suns
opposition is the most encouraging
prophecy that Indiana Republicans
have heard.-I lafayette Courier.
There is some talk that the next
Legislature will attempt to amend the
election law so as TO prevent vote
buying in Indiana. The better ele-
ment in all parties heartily endrose
the idea. That section of the old cleo
ton law, which placed a. penalty on
the vote-buyer should never have
been repealed.-Brownstown Banner.

Two detectives from Illinois were

Reynolds, the bank clerk at West

the Reynolds murder in connection

Quinn is we'll remembered here by
reason of his connection with the

several years ago, for which he serv-

At the time of the murder OF Wesley

but without success. Quinn was III

rhe spirit of Cancellation

The spirit of Cancellation, OF arbi-
tration, of consideration, OF the rights
and the needs of the masse. of men
is taking hold upon our industrial
life in the light of higher concep-
ton OF the duty of citizens one to
another, and the framing and enforce
ment of laws rejecting that spirit is
duty that Republican leadership
must realize and perform if it is to
its responsibilities with courage and
wisdom that takes into account not
merely the exigencies of the moment,
the drift of things Thus may
best be armed for conflict with the

challenge to American institutions,
and proposing as panacea fer polit-

of individual liberty, the surrender of
