Accident Bulletin No IL, Just
Issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, gives an account of
railroad accidents in the United
States during April, May and June
of the present year. 1t shows that
during this quarter Al passengers
and 22l employees were killed, and
1858 passengers and l,511 en-
ployes were injured in train acci-
dents. Other accidents to pass
engers and employees, not the re
suit of collisions or derailments,
bring the total number of casual
ties up to 1869. This bulletin
completes the publication of the
record of accidents for the year
ending June 30, 1905. In the to-
tai number there is shown an in
crease of II killed, 4.123 injured
among passengers and employees
as compared with the number re-
ported for the previous fiscal year
The increase in the number killed
is wholly among passengers, there
being decrease of LOG in the num-
Der Of employees killed. An in
crease of III in the number of
passengers killed makes an in
crease of IL in the total killed of
both passengers and employees, as
above stated. Of the increased
number injured, 1868 were pass-
engers and 2,l60 employees. In

The condition of the Teller
House has reached such stage it
is almost impossible for anyone to
conduct the hotel and meet with
financial success. Repairs and
Improvements are needed on the
building badly and until these are
made it will indeed be hard mat
ter for any person, regardless OF
the experience he has had in the
hotel business, to run the hostelry
at profit. In the shape it has
been in the past few years and the
haphazard manner in which it
has been managed, the establish
ment has long since ceased to be
regarded as a first-class hotel,
but is looked upon mostly as a
huge joke. If Senator Teller, the
owner of the building, retains a
spark of pride or interest in the
city and county that have made
him all that he is, he should sure
ly come forward at this time and
display it by spending few
thousand dollars in putting the
building in shape so that it would
at least be habitable. The Teller
House is the only hotel in the
city and if placed in proper con-
dition there is no reason whatever
why ii could not be conducted on
& profitable basis.

Residents of West High street

Residents of West High street
have a numerously signed petition
which they will present at the
next meeting of the city council,
asking that body to construct a
walk on the street mentioned
above. As all the houses on that
avenue are occupied it is apparent
that walk is needed there as
much if not more than in any
S~.s - a.. a,
other residence section of the city.
After snow or rain storm walk
ing is very disagreeable as the
street is in very muddy condi-
ton. 1t was hardly possible for
the residents to clear a passage
way after the last snowfall, as in
attempting to do this it would
have been necessary for them to
clean the entire thoroughfare.

Chas Klais has been busy the past
few days fixing up his property on High
street in order to make it more desirable
for renting.
Tuesday evening the boys and girls
had fine time. There were several
parties in the different parts of town
and the streets all along the way bore
traces of mischievous prarks. At the
foundry the iron bars, etc. piled in front
Of the building we're all thrown in the
street which made it dangerous for rigs
passing by in the evening. Luckily no
very big damage was done.
Bear in mind the big masquerade
dance to be given by the Red Men on

Oriqin Of Appendicitis.

A new explanation of the origin of
appendicitis is given by a writer in
the Clinical Journal. lie thinks IL
may be due to the widespread use OF
boracic acid as food preser, ative.
He says boracic acid has an irritating
effect on the alimentary tract when
1t is swallowed in small doses for a
certain time. The inhamed mucous
membrane offers a favorable soil for
the growth of the peculiar pus-forming
germs and enables them to multiply
and enter into the depths CT and des-

Paris, June 13.-President Roose'

here, and France has forgotten her
own troubles with Germany over Mo"

Without exception, comment on
President Roosevelt's action is favor

sense of disappointment that France,
as the ally Of Russia, has not taken
more prominent part in effecting the

Chance for Great Britain.
In diplomatic circles here it Is felt
that Great Britain can now play q
great role in seconding the presidents
initiative by restraining her ally and
counseling moderate terms.
Harsh and humiliating terms would
not be accepted, and for that reason
diplomatic circles express the great
est skepticism as to whether Japan.
elated by her wonderful victories. will
be reasonable enough to offer basis
which Russia can possibly accept. If
at the end Russia was forced to hum.

would spur her to seek revenge, as
Alsace-Lorraine did from France for
many years.

are MORALLY wounded; Morris Willis,

Renew it was shown that Boyd start
ed the trouble by cursing Willis, a
negro, who turned and cut him. The
car was stopped to put Willis of, and
he began to fire into the car. There
were eighty-seven passengers, and
several produced pistols, and at least
sixty shots were fired. The coroner's
verdict charged Willis with killing

conditions, and that they proved so
surprisingly moderate that Russia

TO ANNUL
u. P. GRANT
RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH GORE
CANON GRANTED 20 YEARS
AGO IN CONTROVERSY.
Company Has Claim for Strip Two
Hundred Feet Wide and Addi-
tional Area for Station Purposes
Not a Foot of Road Was Built and
Government Claims Forfeit.

Proceedings to annul the right of
way granted the Union Pacific railway
for an extension of its road through
Gore canon nearly twenty years ago
have been instituted in connection with
the case now before the United
States court, wherein the Denver and
Northwestern is called Upon to show
its authority for building through that
same stretch, says the Denver Post,
District Attorney Cranston filing his
complaint at an early hour this after
noon. The government seeks to have
the act under which the Union Pacific
acquired possession of the tract de-
cleared unconstitutional, or rather will
set out that its provisions had expired
under the statutes and asks to have
the land restored to the United States.
On March Il, 1887, the Union Pacific
and Colorado Western railway secured
from the government a right of way
through Gore canon in Grand county
for a width of 200 feet, with here and
there an additional area for the pur-
pose Of building stations. That was
under the act of 1875. by which the
government gave to all roads right of
way through any section of the cOun-
try with the privilege of telling timber
on government land for the construc-
ton of ties and for repairs.
The district attorney set out in his
complaint that this act had expired
when the Union Pacific made its u
veys, and therefore asks to have the
right of way annuied. The Surveys
were made through the canon, but
after a year or so work was abandoned
and not a foot of road was ever built.
The Western railway consolidated with
the Union Pacific and the proposed ex,
tension was abandoned.

They would visit the sick and the

time. They would call on their
friends, cultivate good fellowship and
add to the comforts of living, but they
have so many other things to do that
they cannot find time for this. They
deceive themselves and think they
are deceiving others. They are not.
Never have the time" simply be-
cause they do not take the time.

Useful Comparisons.

It Is by comparing ourselves with
others that we either learn some
thing about ourselves or become more
ignorant about ourselves than ever.
You can achieve either result. 1t will
depend upon how the comparison Is
performed. II you have to make your
own living 1t is worth while to devote
some thought to the comparison draw
ing operation. Failure in it is respon-
sible for the greater part of the non.
success of SO many. Comparison in
practical ability to do something use
full would surely awaken them to big
ger efforts to make themselves OF
some value.
