ualties to passengers and to employees
while on duty to be 16,937, as against

ger trains. The damage to cars, en-
gines and roadway by these accidents

The number of employees killed In
coupling and uncoupling cars and en-
gines was SO, being 16 less than the
number reported killed in the pre-
vious quarter.

Bayberries for Thanksgiving Candle

Bayberries for Thanksgiving Candles.
The revival of many an old time. in
dustry has brought into vogue the
bayberry candle, beloved of our grand
mothers, and here and there along
country byways men and women may
now be found garnering the aromatic
berries, which some enterprising WON.
an has engaged to- make into candles,
says the Providence Daily Journal.
It requires a quart of berries to
make one candle. They should be
kept in a dry place till ready to use,
then put into a preserve kettle, allow
ing two quarts of water to one of
berries. They should be boiled for
four hours, filing up the kettle with
hot water as 1t boils away. Then set
it back where it will simmer a while
and at night set away to cool. In the
morning the wax will have formed in
a large cake on top of the water, and
after melting and straining through a
niece of fine lawn or cheesecloth 1t is
ready to pour into tie candle molds.
These candles give out a sweet, aro-
matte odor, which perfumes the room.

SOME CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS.
Author Points Out Reasons for Dis
asters to Train Crews.

Most of the commo accidents
caused by neglect of the train crew
are summarized by Mr.. Richardson. in
his book, Railroad Accidents; Their
Causes and Prevention" as follows:
Failure to watch for and observe
signals.
Trains following each other too
closely.
Trains following at too high a rate
of speed.
Failure to protect trains stopped on
the main track.
Cars not being left into clear at
sidings.
Switches being left wrong.
Lack of caution in time of storm or
fog.
General carelessness.
Most of the injuries to employees
caused by their own carelessness are
from coupling cars, getting on and OF.

To increase the surprise, suggests

the loop as small as possible. This
apparent piece Of manual dexterity is
performed by passing that end of the
string marked A as quickly as posi-
Bile around the top Of the thumb, SO as
to come between the forefinger and the
thumb; it will thus get into the loop,
and you will seem to have passed the

impossiblity of such a thing.

A new game called "Hot-Pot" is
likely to have an immense success
this winter, and you can make it all
yourself. 1t can be played by old
and young alike, and by any number
of people, so long as there is an equal
number of players on each side. The
"Hot-Pot' is a s~quare-sided box Of
cardboard, without top or bottom.
1t is placed on the floor, the players
sitting round in a circle, alternately
one of each side, their chairs being
placed exactly six feet away from the
Pot. One side has red cards, the other
blue ones, and the object OF the game
is to flick the cards into the Pot, the

Mr.. Richards cannot imagine why a
brakeman of common sense should
stand on a %footboard and when the

hand in between them, nor why he
should stand in the middle of the
track and wait for o car or engine to
approach and then step on the foot

left hand, to occupy his right hand by
throwing several oranges above his
head and to spear them with a dagger
as they fall.
Nothing positive is known as to the
origin of the sport, but it is supposed
to have been of military birth and to
have served as a field game for the
victorious troops while resting after
a battle.

game, and the best out of seven games
form a set. The cards r held by one
corner, and a twist of the wrist should
send them edgeways into the Pot; but
it requires a good deal of dexterity
to succeed, and the fluttering of the
cards as they hover on the edge OF
the Pot is most exciting to the play
ers. A better game for a large party
could not be imagined, es everybody
can take a hand, for everyone thinks
he or she can throw a card into a pot
till they try, and then the irritation of
failure makes them an easy prey to
the charms of the game.

Birds Love o Y

Most birds love toys. The play

performing it swiftly you may surprise
and puzzle a spectator very much.

part, which you retain in your right

is doing with our own country and that
England must consume our cotton to
produce the yards that she sells. This
is only partially true. 1t is just as neces-
sary and important that we broaden the
field for cotton goods manufactured in
the United States as the field for the
consumption of cotton. The facilities for
this increase are fast coming about. We
are reaching a place near the top of the
column as a maritime nation, and with
this flag follows the trade. Better equip
ment for carrying our goods into all ma
tions is being provided and the broaden
ing of our markets will be a natural
consequence.
As | have stated before, a careful and
persistent study of conditions must be
made before we are ready to invade new
fields or cope with our competitor across
the water. To induce strangers to buy
goods made from u cotton, it will be
necessary that we fully ~acquaint our
selves with prevailing conditions and re-
auirements and comply as nearly as pos
sible with them. We should know the
banking methods of each country that is
different from ours, more especially as

INCRDnNATING EVIDENCE.
Tolls Seem to BE Closing Around NJ. j.
Hogan.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 3.-The examina-
ton of M. j. Hogan's effects, found in
his room at the hotel, resulted in
finding a white powder resembling
plaster Of paris, and bottle Of liquid
believed to be nitro-glycerlne, and ply
ers used by miners for crimping full
minating caps, New Years card ad-
dressed to the president of the Fedora
ton of Labor.
Hogan was taken before the pro-
bate judge this morning and arraigned
charged with the murder of ex-Gover-
nor Steunenberg.
He asked If his arrest had been tel
egraphed to the newspapers saying,
"If the Spokane papers publish my ar
rest. lawyer will be here tomorrow
TO defend me; otherwise we will want
time TO get an attorney"
He refused to explain the articles
found in his room, saying he could
establish his innocence when the time
comes.
Hogan was in Boise early I'm Octo-
Der, attempting to sell a non-freezing
powder. He went to HALEY for the
same purpose, advertising that as a
business in various mining towns.
Five men besides Hogan are in the
Caldwell Jail charged with the crime.
Two are Campbell and Warren, arrest
ed at Connell yesterday. The other
three are unknown and refuse to give
names, or to talk except to demand
release.
Hogan's case is set for Saturday,
but may be postponed. The authori-
ties declare they have sufficient evil
dence to convict him, and believe
Campbell and Warren were connected
with Hogan.

Rests With the Commission.

Olympia Wash, Jan. 3.-The attor-

to the state railway commission to the
effect that the law of 1905 creating
the commission repeals all prior laws
fixing maximum freight rates on
wheat and other commodities, and
places the duty of fixing such rates
with the commission, which can do so
only after notice to the railways and

FIRST SESSION TONIGHT.
II Caucus Agreement Is Sustained
Kinsella VIII Probably BE Marshal.


Tonight the new city council will
meet for the first time, and the ses-
sion promises to be an interesting one
because of the selection of a marshal
and other city officers.
Throughout the day it has been ap-
parent that an effort was being made
to have the council break away from
the decision on the marshalship which
was reached in the caucus last Friday
night AS the vote at that time stood
four in favor of p. S. Kinsella and
three for Bert Wilson, but one MEM
ber would have to change in order to
elect the latter. Ir view OF this fact,
Councilman Mccormack has been
strongly urged to turn to Wilson. At
the opening of the recent caucus he
is said to have favored Marshal Coff-
man and to have changed to Kinsella
when the present incumbent failed to
muster enough strength to be re-elect-
ed. However, it is said that when
the recent caucus was held it was
agreed by the members to abide by
the decision then reached. In view
of this it would seem there is little
possibility of any other man than
Kinsella being selected.
As to City Attorney.
Regarding the appointment of a
city attorney, absolutely nothing
seems to be known, but it is generally
thought among attorneys that C. H.
Carter will be reappointed. Others
mentioned as possibilities are John
McCourt and r. ]. Slater.
