WILL T. KIDD INJURED.
Vincent Merchant Was Hunting When Gun Was Accidentally Discharged

A{ill T. Kidd a well-known merchant of Vincent, Ala, came to a very serious ac- cdent yesterday while hunting near his home. The injuries may prove fatal.
 It seems that while about five miles of Vincent he had killed a bird and was leaning oyer to take it from his bird dog. The trigger must have caught in bush, discharging the gun. The shot entered his left side, tearing off a portion of his breast and was buried in his neck.
 He was taken home and is being at tended by Dr. Goggans of Alexander City and pr. Emery of Vincent. The Rev. pr. Kidd minister in the Birmingham dis trict is his father.

ON THE RACE TRACK.
New Orleans Results.

New Orleans, November 2s-Littls Lighter, colt which was sold here for s25 last spring, won the rich Thanksgiv- ing handicap from an exceptionally good field of mud-larks. The race was one of the most spectacular ones of the pres- ent season. In the betting Plantland ruled favorite at all times and was backed from to to to ? at post time. After a short delay at the post the field was sent away to a fair start with Faust off in front and Plantland right at his heels. Faust and Plantland cut out the pace running head until the head of the stretch was reached, when Faust fell back beaten. Plantland then forged to the front and looked to be winning cas- fly, when Jockey Delaby brought Little Fighter up with rush and in a finish that was full of thrills managed to win out by a length. Dashaway, an added starter, finished third. Although the weather was raw and cold the largest crowd of the season was out and the books were hit hard in all of the events Track very heavy.

AT THE POsTOFFICE.
Postmaster Price Gives the Public
Some Valuable Information and
Advice That Should be
Needed.

II you lose an article in the mail IT
is not proof positive that the postal
employees have made way with IT.
There are many ways whereby it may
be lost without it being taken bv n
clerk. We have had packages come
to the Grand Junction office from the
large mail order houses in the East
that have been so incorrectly ad-
dressed that it was impossible to de-
liver them. Weeks and some
times month have elapsed before
the owner could be found. and then
only by describing the goods. II the
wrapper comes of and is lost the
goods may be sent to the Superinten-
dent of the Railway mail service. If
they are kept in the office for thirty
days, they should be sent to the Dead
Letter Office, unless there is a rea-
sonable certainty of finding the own
er. Sometimes the incorrect address
Is the fault of the owner because
when he sends out his order for the
goods he does not write his name and
address so that the shippers can
make it out And right here is where
most of the errors occur. If the cor
lect address is not given they are
sometimes delivered to the wrong ad-
dress to someone with the same name
and this causes delay. Sometimes
there are strangers with the same
names who have forwarding orders
aud the clerks erroneously forward
such mail Again they may be mis-
sent to some other town of the same
name in different state So we
might name hundreds of ways that
package or letter could be lost in
the mails without being stolen. As
. rule there are no more eonscien-
tious or honest class of public en-
ployes than those engaged in the pos
tai service, and handles the business
with as few mistakes as is common
with all classes.

In submitting the figures, the bu-
reau of labor makes no attempt to
discuss the causes of the rise and fall
of prices, contenting itself with q
simple statement of the facts as it
finds them. It is significant, however,
that an inquiry is being made into

1864 when camped near Orange he
wSs sent up i'll the mountains upon
light duty to look after commissary
supplies. Returning from his detail
when he came in sight of the regi-
meat he wore high crowned, white
stove pipe hat and was mounted on
a skewbald or calico morse. He was
greeted with the cry, "sink her,
blank her sink herr and received
with the warmest welcome. No Joke
OF his comrades ever disturbed his
equanimity and the pleasure Of his
comrades in seeing him on this oc-
caslon was particularly enhanced by
the fact that he had in his commits
sary wagon barrel or two of eggs
for Go. G, which he had received
from the pretty mountain girls of
Virginia for telling their fortunes.
He always told them something good
and pleasant. After this he came to
South Carolina and when the war
ended was in command of a company
OF State troops defending the coast.
After the close Of hostilitics he went
west and died in Texas in 1894.

I'm the world to be startled at any
thing.
For three years the average Amcri-

Aot increased household expenses, but,
until within few months, the mat
er has not appealed officially to the
atistical agents of the government.
indeed, less than year ago, figures
Fere made public by the bureau of
labor which seemed to indicate that
yyhere had been no increase in the liv-
,$ng expenses Of the average Ameri-
nin citizen. The figures showed that
yome articles of everyday use in
American households had gone
ybp in price, but the general percen-
Eta%e of increase was so small to be
Ainconsiderablc. At that very time, it
Is known to every householder in the
land that his expenses. had increased
, materially, and that he was paying
}more for the support of his family
than he ever had paid before.
J. Now. these facts have dawncd on
: Htho government officials. The latest
Investigations made by The bureau Of
,Sabor have thrown some strong light
Von the subject. The criticism of the
reports made about a year ago Undue
ed the officers Of the labor bureau to
institute an inquiry into the cost Of
whole amounts Of commodities gen
orally used in housekeeping. The
comparisons instituted covered per-
iod Of seventeen years. The inquiry
linto the wholesale prices of such ar
Etcles Of the same commodities is be-
ing made. The latter Will not be COM
!pleted for several months yet; but
: the statistics respecting the whole
sale prices has prepared the statici-
& ms for what they will find in their
inquiry into the retail prices.
In the inquiry only recently COM
&eted it was discovered ihat the
n lolesale prices Of 259 ordinary COM
,&1dities had reached higher level

W. history Of the country. OF course,
eAAa2eriod covered by the investiga-
rpn was only seventeen years, but
I \plVb time prior to that had prices
mayRygh been attained as to any con-
kea Fable number of the articles in
5oeq igated. On the whole number Of
tpp4Ncles, the average price in 1906,

p5!, and 36.5 per cent higher than
! \ 1897, the year in which the low

When the tug goes into service she will be
in thorough order and will at once resume

steady work she had been doing for sew
eral months past. She is now receiving a
thorough overhauling.

this city, which is under charter to Con-
tractor Grim as a tender to the dredging
machines employed in the deepening of
the channel in Occoquan creek, loosened

ceeded to Alexandria and was hauled out
on the marine railway there to have the
wheel made tight on the shaft and for
minor repair work. She will return to Oc-
coquan today.
The tug Eugenia, Captain Force, of the
Smoot Sand Company fleet. is lying at the
foot of Sd street southwest receiving q
general overhauling while out of service.
The tug will resume service on the river,
it is understood, in few days.
