what is our chance Of having a
broad guage this year. The rail-

we could depend on having our fruit

II was remarked by many people
this afternoon who saw Mr.. Charles
| b, Hanford, the eminent actor, on
the street that the resemblance of
the distinguished actor to william
j. Bryan the great Democratic lead
err. is more than marked. In fact
several were heard to say that II
they had not seen Mr.. Hanfords pic
lures and marked the resemblance
at that time, and did not know that
he was to visit the city today. they
would certainly have thought that
the great commoner himself was a
Grand Junction visitor today. Every
where Mr.. Hanford goes this remark
able resemblance to Mr.. Bryan has
created much comment and the actor
states that he has been taken for Mr..
Bryan time after time and can doubt

identities OF the two popular and dis
tinguished gentlemen were confus-
ed. Mr.. Hanford is just about Mr..

heavy, the same mould though. not so
leonlne. In many ways his manners
are not unlike those OF the famous

An interesting fact was called to
the attention OF the Sentinel this
morning by Mr.. Sturdevant. of the
Arthur drug store Through a sys-
TEN of press clipping bureaus rec
ords were obtained showing the exact
number of accidents that resulted
from either the accidental or inten-
tional taking OF poison. over doses of
medicine or deaths that We're brought
about In the way OF medicines or
poisons purchased from druggists.
during a period OF four months end
ing November 30th. The statistics
in this manner obtained show that
there We're 697 such instances dur
ing the period and of all this appal-
ing number Of accidents only two ae-
cidents could be charged directly
against druggists and neither of these
accidents was a fatality There are
forty thousand drug stores in the
country. With only two accidents of
the dsI occurring charged to the drug
stores it is evident that few. il any.
incompetent druggists. are employed
behind the prescription counters OF
American drug stores.
To-day Mr. Charles b. Hanford
the distinguished actor. and his large
I company arrived in the city from
Leadvllle where they gave a perform
anee Saturday night. Mr.. Hanford
and his wife who Is known in the the
atriem world as Miss Marie Drofnah
are guests at the La Court hotel. The
sale OF seats for the enlargement has
heen most satisfactory. in fact II has
