Traction. Washington Street Railway pre-
ferTed, Washington Gas, and Greene
Copper. Evidently Capital Traction Is
slated for a considerable advance, it's
friends contending that il has been sell

days closing bid was 1923, and the ask
ing 12S5h The first sale today was at 1874,
and thence the price rose for quotation
lots to 1247s, while for a ten-share lot
after call 125 was paid. The prediction
is made that the stock will go much

shares selling at SO, fifty at 59$s, and so
at 591A
Greene Copper took a considerable up
ward turn, 200 shares selling at ISIS ana
100 at Is. This was an advance of from
l to rs over yesterdays closing bid. IL

tive, lis shares being sold at prices
ranging from 81 to 5714.

that sentiment in Wall Street favors, II

this sentiment rests as much as any
thing else upon the fact that at a level

TRAIN PLUNGES INTO RIVER
Express Goes Through a Bridge-76
Bodies Recovered.


Pueblo. Col. Aug. 9.-The wreck OF
the Worlds Fair flyer on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad near Eden,
seven miles north OF Pueblo. proves to
have been one of the greatest railroad
accidents in the history of the coun-
try. Two crowded passenger cars and
a baggage car were engulfed In the
torrent that tore out a trestle spanning
Steele's Hollow, otherwise known as
Dry Creek. and so far as known. only
three of the occupants of these cars
escaped death. Fortunately two sleep
ing cars and a dining car completing
the train remained on the track at the
edge of the abyss. and none OF their
occupants was killed or injured.
How many persisted probably will
never be definitely ascertained. for the
treacherous sands are drifting over
the bodies. Searching for the dead
was begun on an extensive scale and
still is in progress. All corpses found
were brought to Pueblo and placed in
four morgues here. Up to this morn
ing rs bodies had been recovered. and
of these so had been identified. Bodies
were recovered all the way along
Fountain river from the scene of the
wreck to this city. Two bodies were
taken from the stream at First street.
Pueblo. more than eight miles from
the point where the disaster occurred.
and it is probable that some may be
recovered even further down stream.
None of the bodies is badly multi
ated. and all are in such a condition
as TO be recognizable. Many identifi-
cations have been made by articles
found on the bodies. no persons who
viewed them recognizing the features.

Benefits of the Service.

Much has been said as to the benefit
Of rural free delivery to the farmer and
much more could be written. Speaking
on this subject, Representative Arthur
l.. Bates. of Pennsylvania, said in the
House OH March 10. 1904:
1t is my belief the $21, 100000 appropriate
ed in this behalf brings more direct benefit
to the inhabitants of this Republic whom
it affects than almost any other appropria-
ton made by the general government.
Forty years ago everyone went or sent
to the postoffice for his mail, and the farm
er in the busy season, when his horses and
teams were working in the fields, could
sometimes only receive mail for himself
and family possibly once week-on Sat
urday afternoon. Now it is not only de-
livered several times daily at the homes
and places of business of the Inhabitants
of more than a thousand cities, but for the
last six months of the fiscal year January
] to June 80, 1909 there were delivered
by the carriers of this service some 310,-
100000 pieces of mail on rural routes
throughout the United States to farmers
and inhabitants of sparsely settled regions.
Increased facilities always bring increas-
ed use and enjoyment-more letters are
written and received; more newspaper and
magazines are subscribed for. While 1t is
not true in every part of the country, vet
the official report shows that quite num-
Der of rural routes already pay for them
selves by the additional revenues they oc-
casion.
The testimony adduced from all over the
country proves that by reason of rural free
delivery the actual value of our farm lands
has been increased Many farmers state
that they would not dispense with the serv-&
ice for $50 or even $1O0 per annum. 1t
has been estimated that the value of farm
lands has risen by this means as high as
So per acre in several States. moderate
benefit to the farm lands Of the whole
country would be from 81 to So per acre
The producers, being brought into daily
touch with the state of the markets, and
in better communication with those who
buy their products, are able to obtain bet
ter prices for all that the farm produces
More definite knowledge of trade conditions
is always Of great advantage.
Good roads have been built and induced
as an incentive for rural free delivery estab-
lishment and to better encourage their
maintenance.

The sim peria1" DOGGY Man.


The country has outgrown the witch
craft frenzy, the spirit-rapping frauds,
the blue-glass cure, the greenback and
free silver crazes, and it is rapidly re-
covering from other more or less harmful
fads. These forms of popular enthusi-
asm having had violent and almost UNI
INSTRUCTED sway for time, have, like
certain acute diseases, made their rum
departed and cleft not wreck behind
But the Bogey-man, Imperialism,
haunting but few, and not seriously in
conveniencing even that few, stays longer
with us than any of his wild-eyed and
more commonplace brother phantoms, de-
lusions and bugaboos.
Washington was accused of wish to
create an empire, and was roundly abus-
ed during his Presidency for his alleged
ambition. He was described as a men
ace to the country he had fought to make
into nation. He only smiled and went
on his glorious way.
Washington, to begin with, and since
Washington every President of powerful,
firm and just mind who has ever sat in
the executive chair has been accused Of
"In1perialism" Jackson, Lincoln, Grant,
Cleveland, Harrison, Mckinley and
Roosevelt against every one of these
Presidents the same wild, foolish and
groundless cry has been raised.
1t is the cry of babies and weaklings
in civil government, not the utterance
of men of experience and sense. How
long will it be before we hear the last
howl over the long lived Bogey-man,
Imperialism
