A fifteen-year-old Mexican boy at
Trinidad put ties on the track of the
Colorado Southern, "just to see how
hard the engine would bump them"
In a two mile stretch of track near
Sealbrook, Texas, the Southern Pa
cific is experimenting with ties in or
der to find out the kind which will
last the longest Five different xmas
are in use. Some have been treated
by all the different known methods
and some are not treated. Tne same
road on the same track is making
trial of a new kind of spike, which is
much used in Europe, and is screwed
into the tie instead of being driven.

BRYAN PATS ROOSEVELT AND
SAYS: "STAND BY YOUR GUNS"
w. ]. Bryan has written another let
ter to President Roosevelt which was
made public Wednesday night. He
says in part:
ITO President Roosevelt: Permit a
parting word. You have the contest
of your life before you, and desire to
render you all the assistance in my
power. You have asked congress to
enact law so enlarging the powers
of the interstate commerce commits
sion as to permit it to fix and enforce
a reasonable freight rate, and the rail-
road lobby was strong enough to stop
in the senate the bill passed by the
house. The railroad magnates expect
to block the passage of the bill again.
Stand by your guns. You have devel-
oped a reform element in the republi-
can party. You must lead it or suffer
! the humiliation of seeing the leader
ship pass to some one else.
Go forward. You owe it to yourself;
/ you owe it to your party, and more
than all you owe it to your country.

SOME CHOICE TABLE

their unique vocabularies to some ex-
tent if they visited several Of the 60
as-you-please hash shops where train
crews between trips make onslaughts
upon the chow-chow output. The
names they bestow upon the various
edibles that are "shoveled" into the
round house" carry the true color Of
their craft. The dining tables are the
freight dumps" and the waiter girls
are yard engines" Ham and eggs

G. A. r. ATTENDANCE
EnnrEn

Bets on the attendance at the c. A.
r. encampment ranging from 25,0O0
to 10000 have been referred to Gen
eral George w. Cook, chairman of the
executive committee, for an official de-
cision, says the Denver News.
To satisfy the public and to prove
the correctness of his own estimate
of 125,OO0, General Cook addressed let
ters to the general passenger agents
and auditors on the lines in the West
ern Passenger association. Replies
from all except the Missouri Pacific
show that 104,S45 passengers were de-
livered in Denver on Grand Army
rates.
Owing to the rivalry Of the respect
i've roads, agents requested that their
individual business be withheld, so
General Cook feels at liberty to use
only the gross figures. The validat-
ing offices report 10000 valuations at
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo,
but as these did not include the bust
ness originating at stations in Kansas,
Nebraska Indian Territory and Okla
homa, which was estimated at so per
cent additional it is safe to say that
the attendance was not less than l50,
600.
In addition to the total of 104,S46
reported by the Burlington, Union Pa
cific, Rock Island and Santa Fe, four
of the leading western trunk lines the
business originating in Colorado, New
Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Washington
and Wyoming is not counted
The Missouri Pacific also handled
twenty-five special trains, which are
not included in the number reported
Local incoming business of the Colo
RADIO & Southern, the Denver & Rio
| Grande and Midland should be added
to make up anything like an approx
mate total.

PRESENCE OF MIND THAT
SAVED MUCH SUFFERING.
A San Bernardno boy, r, S. Julian
is the hero of the awful Southern Pa
cific wreck at Reno Nevada, this
week, Tor it is he, who, by rare pres
ence of mind, caused the relief To
come to the wrecked train quickly.
Press dispatches from Reno speak
in high terms of the work of Julian in
getting news to the outside world OF
the wreck, so that relief could be
sent. It was a case where Julian's eX
pert knowledge of telegraphy prob
ably saved many lives.
Immediately after the wreck, while
the wounded and dying were beinE
dug out of the Wreckage, Julian, witt
rare presence of mind, climbed the
nearest telegraph pole and with hi
pen knife cut the telegraph wire. The
nearest telegraph instrument wal
more than ten miles away.
Dropping the ends of the wires tc
the ground he made his way down thO
pole and picking up the ends of thu
wires tapped off the words, Wreck

FAILED TO
SHOW UP
SENIOR CLASS SCARED INTO ABB
SENTING THEMSELVES FOR
CLASS DAY PROGRAM.
Had Received Intimation That They
Would Be Harshly Handled and
So Were Not on Hand-Annual
Address to Be Delivered Tonight
BY President of Golden School.

Glass night" may safely be termed
a serious rival of commencement
proper, both in point of interest and
attendance, AID this year proved to be
no exception % the general rule, the
auditorium being crowded long before
the stroke of s last evening. 1t is all
the more to be regretted, therefore,
that so splendid an audience should be
disappointed, but such was the case
this year, and after a tedious wait the
company was dismissed with an ex-
PLANTATION by President Tisdel, no pro-
gram being presented. To state the
facts briefly, it appears that the seniors
had reason to believe, from prevailing
threats, as well as from the recent at
tack made upon some of the members
of the class, that matters this year
seemed likely to overstep reasonab,l
limits, and deemed it better, in conse-
quence, not to attempt to present the
program arranged for the occasion.
Possibly they were wrong, as Presi-
lent Tisdel had a definite understand
ing with the juniors, and by giving
them permission to lower their flag
and play one or two other harmless
pranks, had received their word Of
honor not to interfere with the exer-
cises of the evening, and thus had the
situation entirely under control. On
the other hand, 1t is true that the per-
%petrators of former attacks were not
juniors, and most Of them were not
university men at all, so possibly the
seniors had reason for deciding dis
erection to be the better part Of valor.
The whole affair was most unfortunate,
and Is universally regretted by all
friends of the class and institution.
Tonight at 8 o'clock President Vic
tor G. Anderson, D. s., Of the Victor
school Of mines, will deliver the an
nual address, his chosen theme being
"The Scientific Spirit" He is q com
prehensive and interesting speaker,
and should be greeted by q large and
appreciative audience.

and Mrs. Tisdel will receive In his
honor at their home on Fremont street,

8 a. m. when the street was crowded,
and. without warning, began firing
through the window. Thirty policemen
were summoned and surrounded the
place, while a detachment tried to bat
ter in the door. Lobb fired through
the door with a shotgun, wounding
Kisane. Returning to the window, he
fired several more shots and tried to
hurl a chair to the street. Seeing the
policemen climbing the fire escape,
and just as the door gave way, Lobb
killed himself. placing a gun to his
head and blowing out his brains.
