Railroad Accidents.

Ten thousand and forty-six persons
were killed and S4.155 injured on the
railways Of the United States during
1904 OF the killed AL and Of the in
jured Oil were passengers, or one
killed ont Of every 1922 Z67 carried,
and one injured out Of every 1925
carried. These figures are given III
the annual report of the interstate
commerce commission for 1904, issued
recently.
The slaughter by the railroads of
this country is appalling. What is TO
be done? These questions have not
interested the minds of the public
alone. but the minds Of men at the
heads of the great railroad systems,
and the minds Of the officials of state
and nation.
Safety appliances have been invent
ed and used. precautions have been
taken. and efforts made to reduce the
percentage OF accidents on the rail
roads. but these shocking tragedies
continue to increase on our steel high
WAYS until il seems they cannot be
prevented.
Let us look back for a decade OF
more ard see how railroad accidents
have been increasing. A review of
statistics on this subject shows the
following:

The Springfield Register makes this
comparison to show the enormous in
crease in fatal accidents and in the
number of persons injured The total
number of passengers carried in 1904,
as shown by the interstate commerce
commission report. was 7I5,419.6S2, as
compared with 507.421,3 G2 carried in
1895. Thus it is shown that in a de
Cade the increase in passengers car
ried has not been doubled nor nearly
so. while comparison of the number
of fatal accidents in 1904 and 1895
shows that number nearly doubled
while the number of persons injured
has been more than doubled. In 1895

PROSPECTIVE WATER SUIT
Why T. s. naIoney Keeps His Head
 gate Closed.

A complicated water case found its way informally into the court of Jus tice Burnett yesterday. George Collins called to see what could be done with his neighbor, T. s. MaIoney who acts as controller of his water supply and refuses to let go his grip on it. Just at present there is water enough for everybody but MT. Maloney claims that MT. Collins is an Irresponsible and un- skillfuI water user and allows it to back up and get under the hay which MalCney is trying to cure. He says he has been having enough trouble to prevent water from falling on it with out having the situation further com plicated by the water seeping up through t from thc bottom.
 The dispute over this question near ly led to blows day before yes erday.
 Collins made some inquiry about town and was advised to take the law and an aX into his own hands and open the head gate. It was brought out though that the gate is on Malon- eys land and that Collins does not get water directly from the canal com pany but from a man who has to take turn about with Maloney in the dis tribution of tEe water.
 At the end of the conference with the court on the subject Collins was still in doubt as to the kind of litiga- ton. if any, which he should insti- tute and in the meantime MalOney is keeping a firm grip on the water sup ply so that the only immediate remedy for Collins is rain and the weather bureau is not holding out any hattering promises.

Lead to Worthless or Harmful Reme-

 Stimulating the scalp may allay the itching of the dandruf, but that does not cure the scalp. The disease won't yield to quinine or capsicum nor alcO- hol, because it is caused by a grem or parasite. To cure dandruf the germ must be destroyed. Until recently there was no hair preparation, or dandruff cure or hair restorer on the market that would kill that insidious germ that dries up the scalp in little scales call ed dandruff, and absOrbs the vitality of the hair, causing falling hair, and fin ally badness. Newbro's Herpicide is the only really scientific preparation to cure dandruff, prevent falling hair and badness.

EDUCATING FARM BOYS.
cal Agriculture should lie Taught
I'm Rural schools.

Among those who have given the mat
ter attention, there are many who favor
the introduction Of agricultural instruc-
ton into the rural school as means OF
educating the farm boy to the farm
rather than sending him directly to the
institutions whose influence is in an
other direction.
In a recent address, after commenting
upon the more or less popular idea of a
general education of more or less classic
foundation" Hon James Wilson, sec
rotary of agriculture, goes on to say, in
regard TO the agricultural college and the
farm boy:
The farmers boy who intends TO be
farmer, and his father who intends TO
have his son succeed him on the farm,
do not care anything about that kind of
education My idea of education is that
it should fit young man for his future
life
Il would begin by teaching on agr-
cultural lines in the primary grades;
would continue this kind OF education
through the secondary school; | would
prepare the boys for the agricultural col
lege, and they would go there as nat
urally as the boy goes to the pantry TO
get some bread and butter, with sugar
on It. But just now our system of edu-
cation draws the young people away
from the agricultural college into some
thing else"
That there is truth in this is evidenced
by the number OF boys and young men
coming from the farm. and. after at
tending high schools and other institu-
lions Of higher learning, go into other
pursuits than that OF agriculture.
1t has been held by those most inter
ested in keeping the boys upon the
farm that with the introduction OF ag-
riculture into the rural school there will
be tendency to educate the boy back
TO the farm. That good argument IA
vors this proposition there is no cues

HOW TO REPAIR ROADS.
teation IL They Are to He OF
Any Use OF Value.

Charles Williams. q contractor In
Connersville, Ind. gives a few points
on road repair in paper before farm
ers' institute which will be of interest:
Now, some points on how TO keep
roads in good condition. and how 10 re-
pair them. A road must have constant
attention, If il Is TO be OF any use or
value.
Whenever a rut forms, II should be
repaired at once. The road should be
graded In the spring and graveled in the
fall. The road will then be hard and
smooth, and the gravel will be packed
down, but not worn out before bad
weather set in. 1t depends on what
shape the crown Of the road is in what
the condition Of the road will be for
travel through the winter; II the crown
is in good shape. 1t will shed the water
to the side bitches, and If they are in
good shape the road will remain dry and
solid
Nov | will tell few ways TO spoil
good road:
THE surest way is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud. sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
the center of the road This makes the
road soft and muddy, and it will be i'm
possible for the next coat Of gravel TO
unite with the old roadbed. The result
is the road will be spongy. The best
plan is TO scrape ii up into piles and
haul il TO some gully, Of which all roads
have few, and dump ii there.
THE road grader is a good road build
CT in the hands OF a man that knows
how TO use il, but otherwise he will do
great deal OF damage.
Another way to spoil a road is TO
make the crown so steep that all the
travel will take the center. The result
is the road is worn out in the center.
and no use has been made of the re-
mainder OF the road. The center is cut
up by three gulleys. which hold water
and cause the road 10 be soft and muddy
when it would otherwise be in good
shape"
