THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
The Gazette closes is 10Th volume
TO-DAY. There is but little that can be
said concerning the paper that has not
been previously stated. As is well
known, it Is one Of the Oldest journals
in the country, its files running back
almost to The revolutionary war. Copies
of the Gazette dated in the first part OF
the last decade Of The eighteenth century
arc occasionally unearlhed 10 old build
iugs while the files proper extend back
over one hundred Yeas. Begun about
1883 or 1884, il has Aonrished in three
centuries, and at the close Of the year
1906 is as vigorous as of old and as
much of an essential to the home aud
the counting house as ever.
The Gazette soon after it's foundation
became the most prominent newspaper
iu eastern Virginia. In fact it WAS the
official journal for this entire Congress
sional district 1t still circulates over
the same area, but is circulation is by
no means limited to local field The
paper finds its way into nearly every
State of the union. aud Is always vel
coined as 40 old friend
The makeup oftbe paper has changed
but little in years. The title line, the
Virginia coat-of-arms and other features
which gave the Gazette its individuality
many years ago have been retained for
reasons which have ever been satisfactory
to the publishers aud readers. Discard
ing sensational and Misleading headlines,
it has presented ALL THE NEWS in a
small space and in type that will not
strain the eyes.
The Gazette receives The latest news
daily from every portion of the civilized
world Eschewing verbosity, it extracts
about all most people desire to know con-
corning current events and presents it to
its patrons In a readable shape.
The paper has always been regarded
ss an excellent advertising medium and
those who use its advertising columns
invariably reap rich rewards. ,
The publishers intend during the com
ing year TO labor TO maintain the repnta-
ton of the paper, and 10 doing 80 will
present the news of the world daily, while
local happenings will, as ever, receive
close attention.
There are many papers more bulky
than the Gazstte, but after they have
been inspected, the handful headlines
removed and stripped of their useless
verbage and crude cuts, it will be found
that the bulk Of the information impart-
ed does moi exccod that which the Gazette
contains.
The Gazette will ever appeal to Alex
andrianp They naturally desire TO know
the local happenings at The close of the
day, and there is no paper that meets
this want as well as the Gszstte.
The paper had continued to flourish
amid all the ups and downs of Alexan-
dria. Its Office has more than once been
burned out, but, Phoenix-like, it has
emerged from the ashes Of fires kindled
by predatory soldiers and has ridden sill
the storms which have occurred during
its long career, whether national, Stale
OF city. From all that can be seen, the
prospects for continuance OF its mission
we're never brighter.

ANOTHER chapter to the volume OF
railroad horrors during the year 1905
was added early last night when train
of empty cars pl)ughed into densely
crowded pa 'sepger train three miles from
Washington on the Metropolitan Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The fatalities are at present unknown,
but there is reason TO believe that the
number killed outright with those who
have since died and others who have
received fatal injuries will reach half a
hundred. There have been number
of terribs rairoad accidents in this and
other countries during the past twelve
months. Most trunk lines are double
tracked and block signals and airbrakes
are u,ed. Notwithstanding these ssfC
guards horrors continue to he added to
horrors on the rail.

MANIAC TOYS
WTHHUMAN LIFE
Mad Miner Plays Jumping the
Jack With Poor Jack Wright
in the Jumping Jack Mine
i'm Nevada

had made up his mind he was dead,
the bucket stopped. 1t swung a
second there, then down it went
again with a dizzling swoop.
The impressions of Wright during
the next two hours might be very in
teresting-only he didn't have any
impressions. About on his third
mad trip up and down the shaft he
discretly shut his eyes and tainted
away. He doesn't call it "fainting."
He says he just got dizzy" So
dizzy" did he get, indeed, that it
took most of half day to revive
him, and even now he zigzags crazily
as he walks, and swears he will never
again be caught in any kind of an
elevator.
Meanwhile Pugh was walking and
running down the hill toward town.
The first man he met there was l..
NJ. Sullivan the principal owner of
the Jumping Jack mine. The two
men started back up the hill. When
they reached the top they peered
down into the hosting house
through the back window, which had
served for Pugh's precipitous exit.
From there they could see Perry in
tent upon his work, alternately put
ting on power andbrake. The machine
buzzed and the cable whizzed, and
looking at the mouth of the shaft.
they could see at regular intervals
the bucket shoot up and down again,
1t seemed empty and they thought
Wright dead.
The concentration with which
Perry played his deadly game was his
undoing. Noiselessly jumping through
the window, Sullivan sprang upon
him from behind, pinioning his
arms. Meanwhile Pugh stopped the
| bucket at the surface, and then the
two men, after a sharp struggle, sue
ceeded in throwing the madman to
the ground and tying him up with
rope. Then they found Wright limp,
at the bottom of the bucket.
Perry was painting in a corner of
the hoisting room, trussed up like
sausage. What did you do that
for?" asked Sullivan heatedly.
THAT fellows name is Jack, amt
it?" counterquestioned Perry, point
ing to the limp form of Wright.
what has that got to do with it?"
"Well, l was just jumping the
Jack, that S ALL" scowled Perry,
turning his face to the wall.
So far this is the only explanation
he has vouchsafed and he is plainly
insane.

FIRENIEN'S FUND WILL PAY.
One Hundred Cents on the Dollar
Promised Policy Holders.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-Attorney
c. e. Kinard, at meeting of the
policy holders last night announced
that the Firemen's Fund Insurance
Company would pay 100 cents on the
dollar. He said that he had talked
with the large policy holders of the
company and with the stockholders,
and they had assured him that the
company's losses would be paid In,
full. He said that he knew of the
plan by which this would be accom-
plished. but was not ready to tell 1t,
because he had promised to keep the
details secret from the public.
Kinard's 100-cent promise seemed
impossible after President buttons
statement that the Firemen's Fund
was going into liquidation, and no
assessment would be levied. Yet the
policy holders are much encouraged
by Kinard's statement.
In the meantime the organized poll
Icy holders are not willing to remain
inactive. They are contemplating
forcing President Dutton to make
deposition giving the names of the
stock holders so that personal suits
may be brought against them.
I..I4
pany, of San Francisco, is assessing
its stock holders FIVE times the value
of their holdings in capital stock to
pay losses on a dollar-for-dollar ba-
sis. Its shares are owned by San
Francisco capitalists, every one of
whom was hard hit by the disaster.
Yet this California corporation set
to work heroically and they have
paid 100000 to the policy holders.
Its total loss was $1,250,000, and its
combined capital and surplus on
April 18th amounted to s390,000.
Under the laws of California direc-
tors of the company found that they
could not assess the stock at more
than it's par value of $40 at any one
time. They decided to levy an as
sessment each month until five as
sessments should be paid In. Two
assessments have been levied and
paid, and third Is to be levied to-
day.

OBJECT LESSON ROAD.
Experimental Highway viii BE Com
pIeted by State Fair.

Progress is being made by the gov
ernment experts who are building the
mile object lesson road" near the
fair grounds. This mile of road will
be one of the main attractions at the
state fair. and 1t is probable that a
portion of the road will not be en-
tirely completed, so as to show the
various steps in the construction OF
a macadamized road. Yesterday 1876
cubic feet of crushed rock were laid,
and 1850 feet of road have been
treated to the first layer of rock and
$50 feet have received the three lay
ers. When the three layers OF rock
have been laid. then 1t Is that the
work of binding the road begins.
The big ten-ton roller is then sent
over the road until not a crevice, nor
the smallest hole can be detected In
the surface of the highway.

sHEEp PROSPECTS.

The sheep business has had its ups
and downs during the past fifty years.
We have sold wool for 81 a pound
and for 10 cents, have seen sheep sell
for 80 cents per head and at S. for the
run of the flock. The situation today is
more encouraging than we have ever
before known It. The American people
are acquiring q wonderful taste for
mutton, and the mutton chop or the
mutton roast, from being a rarity on
bills Of fare at hotels and restaurants,
is becoming almost as comm0n as sir
l0in or porterhouse steak. So great is
the demand for mutton as meat food
that it Is said that we are steadily eat
ing up our fiocks. We believe that the
sheep may now be taken up as one Of
the most important and profitable Of
all our domestic animals, with the GER
talnty that no future condition is likely
to arise which will make the keeping
Of them Improbable. There should be
flock of seventy-five well bred ewes
Oh every quarter section farm, and
such tiock would prove to be as good
money makers as the hens in the poul-
try yard or the dairy herd. In selecting
few sheep as the foundation for a
flock reference should be had to their
meat making quality more than to
their ability to produce fleece.
