PASSENGER TRAIN
2S WRECKED
Cars Roll Down EmbankRent
and Sixty Feet and No
One Killed.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES
Rain, Soft Road Bed, Small En-
Embankment Caused Track
to Spread.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES

Passenger train No. 90 was
wrecked Monday morning near
AnchO. The wreck was caused
by soft road bed and the spread
ing of rails. The engine passed
over safely and never left the
track. The tank, baggage, ex-
press and smoker left the track
and rolled down an embankment.
No one was seriously hurt. The
baggage man being the only one
who received a scratch. The en-
gine was in charge of Engineer
Ackley and Fireman Cady. The
train was running on slow orders,
and was making about 80 miles
an hour at the time of wreck.
Considerable rain in that section
had softened the road bed, and
at the place of wreck the EN-
bankment was high and small.
The train was delayed till Tues
day night.
This was a miraculous wreck,
not to kill any one, nor even
seriously injure any one.

THE GIRDLE.

Il Was . Mach Used Arrangement a1
the lIiddIe Ages.
In the Riddle ages ut the girile weie
hung the thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in everyday
affairs. The scrivener had his ink
horn and pen attached to it, the schol-
ar his book or books, the monk his
cruclfix and rosary, the innkeeper his
talIies and everybody his knife. So
many and so various were the articles
attached to it that the fiippant began
to poke fun. In an old play there is
mention of a merchant who had hang
ing at his gIrdle pouch, a spectacle
case, ''punniard." a pen and ink horn
and handkerchief" with many other
trinkets besides, which a merry com
paniOn seeing said, 1T was like a hab-
erdasher's shop Of small wares. In
another early play lady says to her
maid: "Give me my girdle and see
that all the furniture be ut it. Look
that cigars, pinchers, the penknife, the
knife to close letters with, the bodkin,
the ear picker and the scale be in
the case" Girdles were in some re
spects like the chatelaines Of more
modern times, but they differed there
from in being more useful, more com
prehensiye in regard both to sex and
to articles worn, and when completely
finished more costly. 1t is partly fol
this reason that we find girlles be

The elections in New York,

the strength of politics so much

with two years ago. And while
McClellan's Democratic politics
backed by Tammany's organiza-

New York yet Jerome, Republi-

man, in whom the people believ-

have defeated Nc Clellan, regard

politics. The people of Amer
lea are learning that independ-
ence at the polls means salvation
from political rotteness, graft,
corruption and official rascality.
The people from Texas to Maine
and from the Pacific to the At

way to free the country and gov.

Vote, and don't kick yourself
for not voting. Try it the other
way once. Everyone interested
in the welfare of the town must
have some interest in the schools
and should have a voice in NAM
ing the school directors. Any
way, if you vote then you have a
kick coming, and perhaps, if you
happen to vote wrong you can
then have the pleasure of kicking
yourself. The disposition of al
lowing others to do what you
should do and then kicking is be-
cause it don't suit is becoming
too common.

Japan's Monroe Doctrine.

The encroachment of Russia on
Japan has been driven back at
great cost on land, but now takes
the form of a hostile armada of
over forty vessels, which has
traversed half the world to threat
en- Japan within a short distance
of it's coasts. The spectacle shows
how necessary it is to make pro-
vision against aggressive powers
that, though thousands of miles
away, use their strength to seize
fresh territory for purposes of
aggrandizement. An enemy of
great resources has been at the
doors of Japan for years and
there is no way to draw the line
against it except by force of arms.
Probably Japan saw the trouble
ahead when it fought China and
captured Port Arthur years ago.
1t was deprived of it's victory by
a coalition of European nations,
chief among which was Russia,
which then proceeded to appro-
pirate Post Arthur for iteelf.
1t is far better to assert Mon
roe doctrine before the enemy is
at your gates and its big feet
within striking distance of your
coast. Japan's performance in
driving back the threat has been
little short of rderful, but the
menacs r.sn.sns again and again.
Precisely such things would hap
pen in the Western hemisphere
if the United States had not
not taken a firm attitude. There
is no telling what future combi-
nation may be made against this
country, with no more reason
than that behind the policy of
Russia, and its silent partner or
partners, in the East. The les
son is one for the United States
to gravely consider in connection
with maintaining its navy in a
state of constant defensive effici-
ency. Globe Democrat.

The beef trust, which is being
prosecuted by the government is
a combination of the packing
houses. Instead of the former
competitive buying at the various
stock yards in Kansas City, Oma-
ha, St. Louis and Chicago, the
trust sends one man to buy at
each place. This man makes the
price to suit the trust. If the
seller refuses it and takes his
cattle to some other stock center,
he will meet the same price and
be out the cost of moving his
cattle. When he finally sells his
cattle the buyer divides them up
between the different packing
concerns in the trust.
By this means a large number
of cattlemen have been ruined.
BY simply holding up the hand,
the trust could make the market
short or long on cattle. When it
wanted to raise the price to the
public it would lower it to the
growers and shipments would
decrease and shortage" result
which would be used by the trust
as an excuse to raise the price Of
meat to the consumes.
This is the institution Presi-
dent Roosevelt is fighting. What
the Republican party stands for
in the nation it stands for in
Colorado. Colorado should regu-
late her corporations, large and
small, along Rooseveltian lines.
Both the people and the corpora
tions are entitled to a square deal
and the Republican party should
see that they get it.

The law of nations is seemingly
very severe. For instance, after
the Russians had lived in the
open sea for months, until sea
weed foot long was grown upon
the sides of the ships, they are
denied the right to enter the
ports of a friendly nation to take
on supplies or anything that
might be needed after such a
trip. In other words the laws
of nations almost, and perhaps
does forbid, the right to give that
which is necessary, in many in
stances to sustain life.

There is a demand for better
business buildings in Delta. T1o
town has never had a serious fire,
consequently many small and in
ferior business buildings still
stand in the most central parts
of the city. As long as good
rents can be secured for these
buildings there is little disposi-
ton on the part of the owners to
tear them down and construct
better and more representative
buildings and this may eventually
result in the main business center
being removed a block further
south on Main street. To a great
extent this is already rapidly
taking place. The small frame
buildings standing between Third
and Fourth streets are likely to
be more or less vacated in favor
of the more commodious buildings
in the next block. When this is
done the property in the older
business part Of the city will
depreciate, or at least, it will not
increase in value as it would by
constructing better buildings and
retaining the business prestige
heretofore enjoyed. The time
has come when it is a good busi-
ness proposition to pull these
shacks down and construct better
ones in their stead.

A riot occurred at Hampstead, Texas
Monday over local option law inwhich
three men were killed. The town had

the trouble took place. Congressman
John M. Picney was one of the dead.
