KILLED ON THE RAILROADS
Men, Women and Children Stricken
Down by Thousands al Re-
suit of Carelessness.

1t Is hard TO understand the compla-
cency with which the American people
tolerate the reckless disregard of life
that may fairly be said to characterize
the railroads of this country, says Les
lies Monthly. Each year the collected
statistics of the dead and wounded rival
the harvest of a war between great ma
tons. In 1902 the injured numbered Ca
662, and the killed $500 Think of it..
Men, women and children. enough to
people such city as Wilmington, strick-
en- down because somebody makes mis-
take. In 1895 passenger travel was only
fye-sixths as heavy as it is to-day. but
the list of killed and wounded was little
more than half so great as the holocaust
OF last year. With each accident the
nelghboring community is aroused.
When an attempt is made to indict d.
rectors or president, the public smiles,
and the cynicism is justified. Yet in
nine cases out Of ten the fault Is due
to incompetency tolerated. if not eoun-
tenanced, by those in authority.
When an army meets with disaster
the general may blame his subordinates
but the nation holds him to account. In
rallroading, as in war. iuefficiency is a
crime. and as the general is absolutely
responsible for his command, the presi-
aent and directors must be made to an
sWer to the public The conviction of 4
single $50, O0O-a-year man might send a
shudder round every directors table IN
lhe country, but also it might cut down
railroad accidents by third.

VIRTUES OF RADIUM.
Curious Instances in Which the New
ly Discovered Mineral Has
Worked Wonders-Testt-
mony Of Doctors.

The experiments of scientists with
radium are daily revealing fresh cura-
tive properties in that wonderful and
precious mineral Perhaps the most
curious instance of its influence, says
the London Mail is that recorded below
of the cure of a somnambulist who was
addicted to wife-beating
This was described recently by DR..
Darier, the eminent oculist. In an in
teresting conversation which our Paris
correspondent had with him he men
toned some curious results which he
had obtained in his work by experiment
ing with radium.
He recently treated a case of rodent
ulcer of the orbit, which had destroyed
the ocular globe and all the tissues. AL
though the patient had for two years
suffered from pains SO intolerable that
during that period he had not enjoyed
single nights rest, his agony was COM
pletely and almost instantly ended by
the introduction of radioactive powder.
External application of radium has
shown that It is powerful agent in
calming neuralgia and rheumatic pains
and In allaying the excruciating suffer
ing caused by cancers which cannot be
operated upon. On the other hand, DR..
Darier is bound to admit that he failed
to obtain any definite result In so far as
an improvement of the vision itself is
concerned, and he does not regard as
serious the talk OF those who speak Of
restoring sight to the blind.
In case treated by the doctor wom-
an who had long suffered from epileptic
fits and giddiness has not had a single
attack since radium of weak intensity
was applied to the temple.
"Radium was also tried with success"
said DR.. Darier, ION male patient who
suffered from strange somnambulistic
attacks. during which he would get up,
maltreat his wife and break everything
within reach. Then he would leave the
house and roam about the streets for
two or three hours, at the end OF which
time he would return home, go to bed
and fall asleep again. So frequent did
these violent fits become that his wife
left him.
ne CdIl0 W u0 anu treated MIN Win
radium applications for IL days Then
he disappeared, and | heard nothing
more of him for about three months,
when he and his wife came to tell me
that the affection from which he for
merly suffered had gone and that they
were living together again
Il have since treated other nervous
patients with radium, notably a lady
who suffered from photophobia, or fear
OF the light. She was very neurasthenic
and believed that she was ataxic. She
could not walk without falling and her
eyes were so weak that she could not
bear the light of day and had to wear
dark spectacles. diagnosed her trou-
bic as neurasthenia of hystercal ORR
gin and tried radium and applications
OF stronger kind than In the cases
l have already mentioned, three hours
per day on both temples At the end
OF the third day she could bear the light
without spectacles and could read and
do needlework"

Like the old Fruit Fairs.

motto of L. G. Monroe, superintend
ent of the fruit and agricultural de
partment of the Spokane Interstate
Fair, which opens this year, October
3. 1t is evident this department
will make showing this year
which will be finer than anything
of the kind had since the days wher
the late Herbert Bolster ran the
fruit fairs. These were the finest
and most popular fairs ever held al
any city in the Pacific Northwest
Mr.. Monroe is following many OF
the ideas of Mr.. Bolster, which made
him and his fairs popular.
One strong feature of this depart
ment will be fine individual and
district exhibits. Those who at
tended the fairs six, seven and eight
years ago remember the contests
which were made between Whit
man, WallaWalla, Nez Perez, Stew
ems, Lincoln, Douglas and other
counties for the honor of having
the finest exhibits of horticultural
and agricultural resources. Those
were the halcyon days of the old
fruit fairs, and the same ideas,
though considerably expanded, are
being used this year by Mr.. Monroe
in his purpose of having the finest
department of fruit, grains, vege-
tables and grasses ever seen in
Spokane. Several contributors al
ready are assured for the premiums
for the best general exhibits of green
fruits. These are the biggest prizes
offered in the fruit department and
are divided into three divisions, as
follows: For the best general ex-
hibit of green fruit from the low
land river district, first prize $3.50,
second prize 500, third prize 500,
fourth prize $25. For the best
general exhibit of green fruit from
the upland irrigated districts are
offered the same first, second, third
and fourth prizes. For the best
general exhibit of green fruit from
the upland non-irrigated districts
the same first, second, third ano
fourth prizes are offered.
Among the districts which are
preparing to contest for these prizes
and which have notified Superin-
tendent Monroe are the following;
Yakima and Stevens counties
two distinct exhibits from Wenat.
chez, and the exhibit from Ne7
Perez, Idaho, under the management
of Hon. Thomas Kirby of that town
Besides these both Lewiston and
Charleston talk of making exhibits
while others have secret plans
Within short distance of Spok.
ane there are also a number of in,
dividual exhibitors who are plan
ming to display and enter the com
petition for the same premiums
Such old time exhibitors as r. A
Jones and Otto Hubenthal arr
among these. The coming of 81
many exhibitors with large displays
will crowd the main exposition
building to its limit so that som,
of the other departments which
formerly have been in this building
will have to find room elsewhere
All merchants and manufactures
have been informed that there vii
be no room for them this year il
the main building.

Cafes and lunch-rooms are filled with men
and women who seem to give all their time
and attention to thoughts of properly or
improperly feeding their stomachs, at is
of course best to eat slowly, but not too
much" says DR.. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, N Y. In this
goth century people devote so much time
to head work that their brain is tagged and
there isn't sufficient blood left to properly
take care of the other organs of the body.
The stomach must be assisted in its hard
work-the liver started into acton-by the
use of good stomach tonic, which should
be entirely of vegetable ingredients and
without alcohol. After years of experience
III an active practice, DR.. Pierce discovered
remedy that suited these conditions in
blood-maker and tissue builder. He called

digestion and assimilation of the food in

at the same time started into activity and

ter. When the blood is pure and rich, all
the organs work without effort, and the

lltJle uenaHu from ABROAD. EHcCJS
of high prices on foreign purchases
are shown by the records of the last
few years; the maximum was at
tanned in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1902, when 237,773,OOO bushels
went out, only about one. third of
which was in the form of flour,
while last year the total was 100,
727, 900 bushels, of which fully two
thirds was in the manufactured
product. Total wheat production
of the world has gradually risen to
about three billion bushels, and
while the current crop is estimated
by the best authorities as slightly
below that amount, it is still prom
Used that the deficit will be incon-
siderable. In other words, with
the supply carried over from the
previous year there is evidence that
actual requirements may be met,
although the fact that there will
be little surplus naturally tends to
harden Quotations. Furthermore,
the bright outlook early in the sea-
son produced a considerable short
account in the speculative markets,
and these traders are being forced
to cover contracts at as high figure
as possible by the manipulators on
the other side of the market.
AS result, quotations are to
some extent fictitious and it is diff
ficult to ascertain the real market
value of this most important food
product. With the growth of popu.
lation and the increased popularity
of wheat bread it is necessary to
extend the sources of supply, and
the result is seen in a careful study
of the worlds crops for period of
even ten years, but coarse grain is
also grown more freely, and in case
it is found that wheat can be main
tanned above a dollar bushel there
Is certainty that many foreign
consumers of moderate means will
return to the use of rye, maize and
other cheaper food products.
About 100000, bushels has
been the average wheat yield of the
United States in recent years, of
which larger proportion was ex-
ported prior to the last fiscal year
than by most other nations.
With smaller crop, Russia has
also contributed largely to the out
side world, but will also have less
than the usual amount to send out
unless home demand is contracted.
In view Of the war it is probable
that Russia will not be able to spare
as much as under normal condi-
tions. Of the other surplus nations,
India is expected to have a record
breaking yield of about 350,000,-
600 bushels, which will permit Of a
material increase in shipments.
Argentina is also at its maximum
of about 100000 bushels, leav-
ing a large tonnage for European
buyers. In ten years the increase
in production of India and Argen-
tina has amounted to 100000
bushels, or about double the gain
in this country, while Russia has
stood still. Compared with the pre-
ceding crop, there appears loss of
some size in France, but the yield
is still well above the average;
Germany has gained moderately,
