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

l When the young men of the coun- try are called forth to war, they marca through the streets with flags flying end bands playing inspiring music. The people crowd the streets and greet them with applause. When news of q battle is received, the entire nation ts sad at the story of lives destroyed. Those who thus die are honored for their heroism, and monuments are who return maimed are pensioned. Not so, however, the army which goes forth daily to do duty upon our rail- 1 roads. One in every 80 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, saw as to their families and friends.
 A more vivid notion of the destruc- t;veness of railroads may be had by considering the fact that in the great Crlmean conflict, which was one of the bloodiest wars in history, the British lost less than half as many slain and "oOhuCo dS WCIS hlIlSu anu on the iron roads in this country dur ing last year In any twelvemonth about 60,000 persons are killed or tn- 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 of 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,OOO.
 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 Mope tain, Missionary Ridge and Orchard Knob combined. The number of in- tured 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 twelvemonth than perished in the Battle of the Wilder ness.
 Each year, one In every ten train men in the United States (thts term including engineers, firemen, conduc- tors and brakemen) is injured, and one in every 135 is killed. Two hundred and fifty men are killed and 2,800 are disabled in an average twelvemonth, while coupling or uncoupli1g cars. In the same length of time 95 persons are slain and 990 injured, by beings knocked from cars by bridges and oth-: CT obstacles at the side of the track On the other hand, only one passenger Is killed for every 1,SS0,000 carried, and one hurt for every 97,000. The average passenger travels 2.946,272 miles before lie is injured and he goes 57,OO0000 miles before he loses his life.

FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY.
Sobriety and Decency of Life Mark of the German Peasant of
 To-Day.

The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs the soil, and will waste none of it for hedges. He cultivates his land in ob- long plots, each strip carrying one crop-corn, rye, tobacco, beet, man. gold, turnip or what not, says a let ter in the London Spectator. He works in summer from light to dark; i1 winter as it suits him. His fruit trees are planted along the roads and field raths which run through and separate the tillaged acreage whereof his vii, lage is the pivot.
 He inherits the land as his father inherited it before him, and each herit- able portion is supposed to furnish sustenance for so many lives. He swinls to keep clear of the money lending shark, and here industrialism helps. For if brothers and sisters rhrong past ability of support from the land, they take work at the near est factory, infrequently several miles distant. That eases the ancestral lean ness, and makes readjustment feas- ible However the bauer may moil week in, week out, his linen is spot less and his clothes unsoiled on Sun days. His wife would scorn herself were they otherwise. Somewhat un- couth, rough, bluff, shrewd, stanch, the military authorities wisely take heavy toll}of his sound lungs and muscular limbs They know man when they see one. And women do much of the actual farm work in Germany as a consequence.

 KINTA!

Now is your chance to buy a lot in the great town of KINTA, 1. T., the home of the Governor of the Choc- Jaw Nation and the selected county seat of Sans Bois county. Get in on the ground floor and buy now; lots are selling at S45.00 on the payment plan.
 l believe. at the opening, if you desire, you can sell your lots for five times what you paid. Justss look back at Enid, it gained 1000 in three years. El Reno has, in the mean time, grown 5000. Blackwell has, in the same time, gained about 5000. Oklahoma City has in thirty-six months gained 12,O00.
 A salesman for the Sim mons Hardware Co.,, was offered four lots at Tulsa, 1. T., two years ago for $275.00; these same lots sold a short time ago for S10, ,000.
 I candidly believe Kinta will equal, if not excel, any of these above mentioned.
 You can not buy more than five lots. Send me $500 today as first pay ment, or write for descrip- tive literature.

Robbiing Yourself

That is just what VOL are doing when you fail to get reg ular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious period for repair work; with out 1t your nerve energy be- comes exhausted, and you are tired, Worn-out, nervous, cX- citable; have headache, neu- ralgia, indigestion, poor appc- tite, or other ailments caused by a lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you are restless, take Dr. Miles Nervinc: it soothes and strengthens. the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives the organs power to work natur- ally. Try it to-day.

The Fire Department.

The council held a special meeting
Tuesday evening to dispose of matters
pertaining to the fire company and its
equipment. The, question of properly
housing the two chemicals was up. The
village has>no building suitable for the
purpose. The council was offered room
for one of the machines in the store and
it was accepted. This one can be kept
charged and ready for use at any time at
moments notice. 1t was practically
decided to keep the other one, which
need not be kept constantly charged, in
the basement of the school house where
there is ample room.
In the meantime attention will DO Civ
on to the project of public building
for the village, the housing Of the fire
equipment being only one of several very
important purposes for which it can be
used.
At this meeting John Woods was ap-
pointed chief of the fire department and
twenty citizens, who were recommended
by the chief, we're named by the council
as members of the company.
A meeting of the company will be
held next Monday evening to- elect of.
ficers and transact such other business
as may be brought before it.
