Nine Horses Killed and One Man LAGER
ated and Bruised


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Amsterdam, N. ", May 26.--New
York Central express train No. "a, east
bound, was wrecked 40 an early hour to-
day near Hoffman's seven miles east of
this city, while running at a high rate Of
speed. No human lives we're lost, but
nine horses were killed and an express
agent was lacernted and bruised. The
train consisted Of seven express cars, two
horse cars and three empty drawingroom
coaches. The locomotive and two eX-
press cars left the rails, ploughed across
the tracks and, piling up, blocked all
tracks for several hours
The wreck was undoubtedly caused by
the fish plates having been tampered with.
About 100 Italian section hands between
Hoffman's and this city struck Thursday
for higher wages and marched seven
miles along the Centrals tracks. Yes
terday they continued their demonstra-
tions. but several Of the men were arrested
in this city for trespassing and wero fined.

new advertising contracts last
week. We still have room for
more. We don't like to ask a
business man to advertise with
us thru charity, but would like
to have him look at the PROPOSE
tion on a business basis. A bust
ness man seldom advertises in a
newspaper that he does not re-

advertisement costs. Last week
the Independent printed forty
columns of reading matter with
'fifty-six columns Of live advertis-
ing matter. This is a remarkable
pace andY peaks exceedingly we'll

after the project of sustaining
dredges which should operate in
the low-water season from Jnly to
January was adopted, a navigable
channel OF eight and one-half feet
was maintained from Cairo to New
Orleans An examination and i'll
vestigatIOn i'll regard to the I4-foot
waterway is now in progress and
plans are being prepared and the
cost estimated such course. The
opening of an isthmian canal is still
50 far in the future that It's effect
upon the development of the Mis-
sissippi can only be conjectured.
Mr.. Brown considers, however,
that while the river will always be
factor in the commerce of the
Mississippi valley it is improbable
that it will ever again attain its old
Importance.

RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
Its Sanitary Condition Not What 1t
Ought to Be.

When such great sums OF money
are being expended by city gov
ernments that the inhabitants of
towns may have sanitary water
supply it seems strange that the
supply in rural towns should re-
Ceive little or no attention. This
latter population may seem rela-
lively insignificant, but it COM
prlses about 10, 900, 900 souls. This
means that those 10, 900, 900 people
are drinking the water most avail
able without thought of its sani-
tary condition.
These various sources of supply,
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable
for furnishing drinking water.
The statistics of mortality in the
country are very indefinite, but
even these show that the rural pop
ulation is not as free from illness
as it should be. And though ev-
erywhere the rural death rate is
lower than the urban death rate,
yet the lowering in the country
has not been as great as in the
city. An examination of typhoid
statistics shows that the death rate
of other diseases is generally lower
in the country than in the city,
but the prevalence Of typhoid is
almost equal to if not greater in
the rural districts than in the cities.
Several instances have been re-
ported which show the rural tv-
phoid rate to be ten times greater
than the urban rate for the same
district. To particularize, GER
tain district in central Pennsyl-
vania proves this fact. 1t is made
up of rural population with 100
inhabitants to the square mile. 1t
is a region Of fine farms, wild
mountains and woods, country res

terror and the gulf seaboard exist
ed. With the advent of a railroad
however, linking together the
north and the south, the decline
of the Mississippi as a national
highway began.
AT that time, to-, says Robert
Marshall Brown in the Bulletin of
the American Geographical socie-
ty, there seems to have arisen a
belief among merchants and trad
ers in grain that its transit through
zones Of warmer weather was in
furious to that staple and even in
the years that followed, when the
shippers had freed themselves
from the superstition of the warm
er zones effect on grain, much of
the grain was shipped overland
from St. Louis to New York and
there loaded for foreign trade.
At the present time there are in
the opinion of Mr.. Brown, three
factors working towards the re-
Mobilization of the Mississippi river
as an artery OF commerce-the
maintenance Of low water chan
mel, the survey of a I4-fJot water
way and the Panama canal.
The first of these factors is al
ready beginning to have a benef-
cial effect, and in 1899, three years

licences and picnic groves. And
iii this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever IS in the city
of Philadelphia.
Sad as this condition is, there
seems to be no remedy for it. The
sources of a city water sup ply are
few and the city government easily
controls the conditions affecting
it. But what can be done when
the sources of supply are numbered
by the thousands? A mint Of
money and all army of chemists
would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply
that is given to that of the city

ParOid
Roofing

Four things enter into the max.
ing Of a good roofing:
The felt; the Sdturdtion. the
COGtiHg;and the method OF luyinG.
Paroid excels on all four points.
The Jelt is the foundation. II it
is not right to start with, no treat
ment of any kind can make it into
o good roofing.
We knot0 that our felt is right
because we make il in our own
mills established in lSl7.)
We make it because we cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market
wherever they can get it cheapest
necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money
back guaranty we do il we did
not make the complete roofing
under our direct supervision.
+
ParOid roofing is not merely
dipped in a solution, but is soaked
In a water proOfing mixture Of
our own, which renders every
fibre ofit-through and through
absolutely water proof.
Z
And then tho coating. Paroid
is coated on both sides with a
smoother, thicker, tougher and
more flexible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There is no room for doubt
about it. You need not take our
word Tor it. Use your own judg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that PlrOid
is the only roofing that doesn't

but until engineers control the riv-
er where it has broken through its
bank below the Yuma there will
be no stream of any consequence
flowing into the gulf. Because of
its large property interests threat
ened by the food, the Southern
Pacific is cooperating with the
Mexican and American govern
ments in attempts to control the
river, and the company is reported
to have spent millions of dollars
already in its fight against the
stream. A dam is being built
above the break, and a large canal,
with flood gates in it, is also being
constructed, through which the
river is to be diverted temporarily.
When the dam becomes sufficiently
high to throw the waters back into
the old course the engineers ex-
pect to close the food gates in the
canal, and thus divert the Colorado
to its old channel. There is some
doubt as to whether this plan will
be a success. Prominent hydraulic
engin GERS differ as to its feasibility.
Spreading as it does, over such
a great area, the Salton sea is ma
terially affected by evaporation,
and the scientific men differ in
their estimates as to the area in
the basin which the Colorado river
can keep permanently covered
with water. The Mexican Govern
ment named a commission, headed
by Brig. Gen. Angel Garcia Pena,
to investigate the strange freak Of
the Colorado, and an American
contingent, made up Of prominent
engineers connected with the re-
clama ticn service, has investiga-
ted and made a report to Secretary
Hitchcock, Of the Department of
the Interior.
The Laguna dam, which the
United States is building in the
Colorado near Yuma, is remotely
endangered by the diversion of the
Colorado, although it would be
long time before this important
project would be affected 1t has
been suggested by some engineers
that through this dam, which is
located in a part the river where
the banks are Of solid rock, it will
be possible to check the river when
it is low and divert it temporarily
into small canals, thus permitting
the construction of works lower
down, which will force the stream
back into its old channel and pre-
vent it from again cutting through
the narrow bank of sand and gray
el, which formerly kept the river
out of the great California basin,
which is located so far beneath
the course Of TIE turbulent stream.

MISSISSIPPI AS HIGHWAY.
Great Waterway Will Never Regain
Its Old Importance.

The history of the Mississippi
as highway of commerce, like
the history of many enterprises
and nations, shows a period of
rise; a period of maximum impor-
lance aud one of decline. The
days hen Mark Twain followed
its fortunes were the flood tide. In
the middle third of the last century
the traffic along the river as a path
of transportation between the in
