PA actual collisions and 5,371 derail- ments, total of Ii, ,959 train accidents in which property worth almost S1O,' 100000 was destroyed. What loss of life and money! Such figures natural ly amaze railroad men, and, indeed, the public abroad. They do not con slider the great railroad mileage of the United States, the number of trains operated, trainmen employed and pas sengers carried, which greatly reduce the ratio against us as compared with other countries. But when we have made all such reductions, and the showing is as little adverse as possi- ble, there still remains a great destruc- ton of life, or maiming of those who survive, giving ratio far above the record of any country in Europe.

Government Issues Order Affecting

Government Issues Order AnectlnS
 Sales of Patent Medicines.
 Druggists generally are greatly ln- terested in an order issued from Wash ington by the commissioner of internal revenue This circular, which Is ad- dressed to all collectors of internal revenue, is supplementary to the order issued on September F last, when the commissioner ruled that all dealers selling patent medicines which contain spirituous liquor as a chief ingredient are liable to pay the federal tax as retail liquor dealers. It was also held that the manufacturers were liable to the payment of a special government tax.
 The order of September 12 was to become effective oH December 1 Of this year. but protests were received from large number of manufactur- CTS and dealers. declaring that they had on hand large stocks of the so- called medicines. that they acquired them in good faith and that the impo- sitiOn of the government tax would
 
 cOrdingfy. Commissioner Yerkes direct cd Friday that the rule be not applied to manufacturers until January I. 1906, and not to druggists and other dealers until April i. 1906.
 For several weeks the internal rev enue bureau has been analyzing many patent medicines believed to contain alcohol or spirituOus liquor as their chief ingredient. The analysis has not been completed in all cases. but a partial list of the medicines which fall within the terms of the commis- siOneTs order was made public by the bureau These are as follows:
 AtwOCd's Ia Grippe Specific. Cuban Gingprie. Dewitt's Stomach Bitters. Dr BOuvier's Buchu Gin. Dr FOvler's Meat and Malt. Duffy's Malt whiskey GiIbert's ReiuvenatinR Iron and Herb Juice. HnStetter's Stomach BitteTS KudrOs Peruna, and Rock Candy Cough Cure.

The report just made public by the interstate commerce commission. giv- ing the statistics of railroad accidents in the fiscal year ended June 90, 1905,
 is an appalling record: Total num- Der of passengers killed fin train acci- dents, $50; passengers injured in train accidents, 6,49s; total number of en- pIOyes killed in train accidents was T9s: injured, T.O52. There were 1ST passengers killed in other than train accidents and 3,563 injured, and 2.4e4 employees killed in other than train ac- cidsnts and 3s,34T injured; a grand total of all classes of 5s7 passengers Killed and 1OO4O injured. and 3.261 employees killed and 45.428 injured. There were 6.344 collisions during the year. with a money loss of s4.s49.O and 5.sT1 derailments, with a loss of S4.s62. .e12, a total of 11,595 collisions and dersilments and a total money loss of Sg.T116J6.- Some of the facts are astounding. There were more than twice as many employes killed as pas sengers. and 1T per cent more traln- men injured than passengers. The ex- planation Is that. while there are SO many less trainmen than there are pas sengers who ride on the trains. the former are on the trains half the time, while the public only travel occasion ally for the most part But that is not all. the passenger miles traveied are many times greater than the empIOye niles traveled The trsinmen are al- ways in the way of accident and in the thick of the casualty. The passen- gers are in danger as a rule only when there Is a train accident The extra exposure explains vhy the trzinmen
