THE GOLD DEUCE

Those who think that nature ia- tended gold to he the medium of ex. change" are invited to glance at this short table showing the annual pro dnction of that precious metal in the initial years of the last five centuries

 The most devoted and hopeful cham. pion of hard money will be corn pelled to admit that if there be eIo- quence in figures. the above table con- tains it. Here is a world which pIods along for unnumbered centuries with a fairly steady increase .u it's accu- mutations of gold until 1t reaches lSJO Then a gold deluge.
 The above table is startling enough but the detailed facts are more SO In the period from 1891 to Is4O the average production of gold was onIv s11i46.Oo0. In the decade fuclniel in the years Isg6-I9O5 the average gold production rose to the stsgysr. ing amount of s3O5. 10000. In the present year we will produce new gold which will sell in the hints fo- no, less than S425.O00poO.
 If these figures prove anything t:ley prove that gold is absolutely worth less as a standard af value. They prove it So conelusively that no dc. fense is possible If it takes untold centuries for a precious metal to at. tain m annual production of s12.On0.- oso in 1sp0. how .precio1s- is it in laspS. when the mines turn out s4Oa.- osl.ooo of its-Fre1erick Cphsm Ad. ams.

Forty Persons Injured.

Dallas, Oct. 29.--Loaded With pas
sengers en- route to the fair Katy
southbonnd passenger train No. 207
while running at a high rate of speed
collided with freight engine seven
miles north of this city Sunday morn
ing.
Both engines were practically de
molished. The baggage car was shot
upon the tender. the trucks of all the
coaches We're turned almost complete
ly around, the ends of three of the;2,
were stove i'm and the first two coac;l-
es were telescoped

engine with such force as to carry it
back. ON the down grade, for a con,
siderable distance

Rock creek. where there is series
of curves. Engineer Blair of the pas
senger train says he was running
twenty-five minutes late. and was GO
ing at good rate of speed. He did
not see the oncoming freight engine
until he was within 200 yards of it,
He applied the air brakes and jumped
from the sab rolling down the high
embankment. and received sprainGi
ankle. a dislocated shoulder and l. |
bruises about the face and head.
Fireman French was following Blair
to jump. but was a second too late,
the crash coming before he could cross
the cab. He was caught between the
engine and tender with his head
against the firebox. and was instantly
killed
FOrty-three persons were injured,
some of whom may not recover.
The scene of the wreck was one
of confusion. The five coaches were
loaded to the guards. many of the in
jured having been on the platform
when the crash came. Passengers is.
sued from doors and windows One
or two of the passengers were caught
between the second and third coach
es when these were telescoped. and
they were among tn most sriously in.
jured.
The greatest number of accidents
was in the second and third coaches
or upon the platforms. These two
coaches were telescoped. and it seem.
ed that the shock centered there The
third coach was demolished.

CORPOP ALTON REFORM.
Committee to Make Suggestions
to Repnrf 10 President.

Chicago. Oct GA special IN
the Record Herald from Indianapolis.
says: During conversation at the
Federal club. Federal Judge Gr0sscup
of Chicago said that he had been re.
Quested by President Roosevelt to
select committee to make suageS.
tons to the president for law to re-
form CORPORATIONS and he had decided
to comply.
Judge Grosscuy said his idea of such
q law was fer a congressional enact
ment that would bring all corpora
lions doing an interstate business
under regulations by the Federal gov
eminent He said he would soon
select the men to serve with him on
the committee and then they would
60 into the details of the whole subject
and attempt to devise a law that
would place corporations under the
control of the government, 1t was
his opinion thai future organizations
doing interstate business could be
easily brought under such law. He
left The impression that there might
be some question as to whether such
a law could require similar corpora
tions already incorporated under state
laws to reincnrporate under Il national
law
