VICTIMS IN TIMES OF PEACE
Said That Railways Kill and Mam More Men Than the Blood
 test of Wars.

When the young men of the coux- try are called forth to war they marcn through the streets with flags flying end bands playing inspiring music. The people crowd the streets Gnd greet them with applause. When news of a battle Is received. the entire nation Is sad st the story of lives destroyed. Those who thus die are honored for their heroiSm, and monuments are erected to their memory while those who return mnimed are pensioned. Not so. however, the army which goes forth daily to do duty upon our rs1l- roads. One In every 90 of them will be permanently disabled, and one in every nine of the injured will be killed. says Pearson's Magazine. They pAss away, unknown and unhonored, sav~ as to their families and friends.
 A more vivid notion of the destruc- t;yeness of railroads may be had by considering the fact that In the great CrImean conflict, which was one of the tioodiest wars in history, the British lost less than half as many slain and
 
 on the iron roads In this country dur ing last year. In any twelvemonth about e0.000 persons are killed or in- jured on the railroads of the United States--a much greater number than fell at the battle of Sedan, which sealed the fate of the second empire of France. Wellington won Waterloo. and Meade Gettysburg. with losses ot 3.185 and 23,003 respectively, and the total losses on both sides at Shiloh in the two days murderous fight did not reach 24,000.
 More railroad employees were killed in the United States last year than three times the number of union men slain at the battles of Lookout MoV- tain, Missionary Ridge and Orchard Knob combined. The number of in- jured among these workers in the transportation business was greater than that of the wounded and missing at Shiloh, Antietam and the First and Second Bull Run combined More faithful toilers on the iron roads of this country went down in sudden death during the twe4vemonth than perished in the Battle of the Wilder ness.
 Each year, one in every ten train men in the United States (this term including engineers, dremen, conduc- tors and brakemen) is injured. and ono la every 135 Is killed. Two hundred and fifty men are killed and 2,800 are disabled in an average twelvemonth. while coupling or uncoupling cars. In the same length of time 95 persons ara slain and 990 injured, by being knocked from cars by bridges and oth- ef obstacles at the side of the track. On the other hand, only one passenger is killed for every 1.SsO,Oo0 carried, and one hurt for every 97,00O. The average passenger travels 2946.272 miles before he is injured, and he goes 67,O00,OO0 miles before he loses his life.

Hive i Wire

Every nerve is a live wire connecting some part of the body with the brain. They are so numerous that if you pene- trate the skin with the point of aneedle you will touch nerve and receive a shock-pain it is called. Aches and pains come from a pressure, strain or in jury to nerve; the more prom inent the nerve the greater the pain. When the pain comes from a large nerve it is sailed
 Neuralgia
 whether it be the facial nerves, or the heart, stomach, sciatic or other prominent nerve branch. To stop pain, then, you must relieve the strain or pressure upon the nerves. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this.

When Game Was Cheap in Kansas

Even as late as 1886 and 1887 vent son was as cheap as beef in the fall the choicest cuts selling for 12h cents pound. while wild turkeys could be had for 75 cents each when tame tur. keys no larger sold for dollar. Brant or wild geese were hard to get rid of. as no one liked their, meat. There was little fishing, not nearly so good as now, and the fish were nearly all perch or cat. The fine herd of 200 head of deer in Uncle Joe Lewis deer park came from a. pair he caught in the early days and penned up in a pasture lot.-Anthony Republican.

REFUGEES IN DENVER.
Carefully Cared for by the Relief Com
mittee.

Denver.-A throng of Denver people
visited the Union station Sunday to
watch the handling of the 400 San
Francisco refugees that arrived on the
four Union Pacific and Denver & Rio
Grande trains. From early morn until
after midnight a IS OF humanity
restlessly made its way in and out and
back and forth through the station and
the train sheds.
It is safe to say that at no other
gathering Of the masses that has taken
place in Denver has there been
such contrasts-contrasts in dress.
contrasts in ages, station in
social and business life. In the
work of feedin and attending the
refugees society women worked side
by side with girls who, during the
week, spend their days behind long
counters in the big stores. There was
no shirking. Everybody was more
than willing to do the part assigned.
The managers of the relief commit
tee seemed to have overlooked moth
ing Children in arms and others Just
toddling were taken from the tired pa
rents Immediately checked, then
batbed and dressed in clean garments
sweet and clean. II i'll or suffering
from wounds, physicians attended
them. Over 100 children, perhaps hall
babes in arms, were taken care of in
the temporary nursery quarters in the
station.

dences, gave the residents OF tina.
neighborhood big scarce and severely
injured two brave firemen who had d
miraculous escape. from death. The
property loss will amount to about $780,
900. The cause of the fire was the
crossing Of the Denver Gas and Elec.
trio Companys wires with those Of the
Colorado Telephone Company. The
heavy fall of wet, soggy snow on
Thursday last was the primary cause
of all the excitement and the heavy
damage to property.
The biggest loss was sustained by
the congregation Of the Twenty-third
Avenue Presbyterian church. To-day
this beautiful stone structure, whose
towering walls had stood for years on
the hill, landmark of the Denver
which had been removed piece by piece
from the older quarter of the town to
the newer residence section, is a mass
of ruins. The damage wrought by the
fire to the church is complete. 1t Is
damaged beyond repair. The great
walls of heavy stone have fallen, the
roof has collapsed, the interior is
burned-the church is gone. The dam.
age is estimated at $4,000 to the
church and $4,000 to the fixtures and
furniture. The property is well in
sured.

A well-known Oakland engineer
states that the area devastated by the
fire in San Francisco approximates 1O.-
600 acres, or about 15 square miles.
There are few cities in the world where
so much valuable property is contained
in an equal territory. Within this 10
square miles were nearly 100 banks.
some of the finest buildings in the
world, thousands of mercantile and
manufacturing establishments, and
more than 100000 inhabitants, besides
10000 transients.
