A ONE-LEG BRAKEMAN
TO BE COMMISSIONER.
Campaign of "Rubey" OgIesby for Nomination-Grl
Aid His Cause-Story of Runaway Train.

JEFFERSON CITY, July IA pic
turesque feature of the Democratic State
convention was "Rubey'' Oglesby, a
one-lesged railroad brakeman, who was
nominated for railway and warehouse
commissioner.
An unusual incident in his campaign
for the office was the descent upon this
city OF sixteen pretty young women
from Narrensburg, including q daughter
OF Senator Cockrell. who pleaded with
the delegates in Oglesbys behalf.
Sympathy for oglesby.
The story Of Oglesby and his long fight
with railroad corporation for damages
for the loss Of one leg is known through
out the State. and has won him much
sympathy. Oglesby was a freight brake
man on the Missouri Pacific Railway
eleven years ago. when he was seven
teen years old.
He left Kansas City one zero morning
in December. At the head of the Little
Blue" hill. east of independence. the
train was late and started down the in
The Washington times., 1904-07-24

cline at a speed Of seventy-five miles an
hour. The train was running away.
The engineer whistled for brakes.
Only young Oglesby, Of the entire
crew, responded to the call. He crawled
over icy box cars and set brakes. A car
broke in two. Oglesby was thrown to
the tracks and both legs were pinioned
tc the frozen ground.
He was there for two hours before re-
leased, and then he had to help with the
jacksCrew to raise the car. He was In
the hospital for months, and finally his
leg was amputated six inches from the
hip.
He brought suit against the railroad
company and got a verdict for SI6.Ool
damages. The supreme court affirmed
the case three times, granting rehear-
ings as many times. and finally about a
year ago reversed the case In other
words. after ten years litigation. the
supreme court decided Oglesby had no
case. and forever denied him the right 20
ask for damages from the railroad for
the loss OF his limb. besides months Of
suffering.
An editor in Warrensburg criticised
the supreme court in his paper. He was
fined $500 for contempt This fine was
paid by public subscription.

The Gold STANDARD.

Thus gradually the sentiment In IA
Vor of the single gold standard within
the Republican party increased. and the
sentiment In the opposition party CORE
spondingly diminished. When the issue
was fairly presented In 1895 a new align
ment occurred.
Those who intuidvely recognized the
logical impossibility of the maintenance
OF parity between coins OF different met
ais when both are coined free Of expense
to the owner OF the bullion, and in I'M
limited quantity whatever the ratio, to-
gether with those who by study and re-
search reached the same conclusion. and
those who profited by the historic fact
that no country ever succeeded In main
tanning. for period Of six months at a
time. the parity IN metallic value OF
coin Of different materials. coined freely
and UnlImitedly. gradually allied them
selves with the Republican party, while
those whose intuitions were different
and whose research confirmed them in
their belief. allied themselves with the
opposite party.
This new alignment may or may not
prove permanent, but IL tends to estab-
lish one OF the propositions which laid
down in the beginning, that the conSen-
sus OF mature judgment Of the Repub-
lIcan party is usually right and the con
sensus OF mature opinion OF the Demo
cratic party Is usually wrong
''On this subject the publican party
staggered for time, and stumbled once
or twice. but, as In other instances, ulti-
mately regained It's equilibrium. The
Democratic party, on the contrary, after
staggering for a time, and stumbling
frequently. finally expressed its mature
judgment in its chicago platform of 1895
as reaffirmed IA 1900, and neither retract-
ed nor apoloRized for in 1904"

MEATS ALL FREE
FROM POISONS
Health Officer SO Reports
to Commissioners.
THE RESULT OF INSPECTIONS
Authorities Well Pleased With the In
vestigation Recently Made by
District Chemist Lynch

All meats sold in the District shops
and markets are free from harmful
drugs and preservatives damaging to
the human system.
This fact was yesterday reported 10
District Commissioner mcfarland by
Health Officer Woodward. as Il reply to
Mr.. Macfarland's request that thorough
inspections be made of the meats sold
in the District with a view to ascer-
tanning whether they were damaged Dy
chemical personalities The Commits
sioner instituted the inspections after
reading in the newspapers that the
Pennsylvania authorities had discovered
that there was III that State a pretty
general use Of chemicals in the treat
ment of beef
Analyses Were Made.
The result of the District inspections
was reported to the Health Officer by
Acting Chemist r. l. Lynch. of the
Health Department. who says he sub
jected TO chemical analysis eighteen
sd IMPLIES of beef and meat procured from
the leading dealers and market men
In this city The result was wholly sat
isfactOry.
The chemical preservatives." says
DR. Lynch. commonly used with meat
products are borax and bOric acid and
sulphites Formaldehyde is said TO be
used occasionally. In TO instance were
any Of these preservatives found"
Result Is Final.
The result of such d thorough investi-
cation. the authorities point out. must
be accepted as Anal. and II leaves but
one conclusion possible, that the meat
dealers OF Washington are thoroughly
honest in their claim that they sell
only good and wholesome meat.
Commissioner Macfarland yesterday
expressed himself as being highly graft
fed at this evidence Of the city's free
dom from meat poisoning
