The Railway Death Roll.

In the nineteen years since the in
terstate commerce commission began
the collection of facts about accidents
nearly 5000 passengers, over $4,000
employees and nearly 10000 other
persons have been killed on American
railways, and nearly one million
more have been crippled or MANNED,
scalded or crushed, disfgured or in
valided; and we still make no pro-
test. For a country that has pride
seems to be a humiliating condition.
But the still more humiliating fact
is that conditions grow worse year
by year.
In 1905 it was twice as dangerous
to travel on railway train or to
work for railway company in the
United States as it was in 1886
Everybody's.

CHANGED STORE INTERIOR.
Ellis-Forde Company Improves A

Ellis-Forde Company Improves Ar
rangement of Departments
A radical change has been made In
the interior arrangement of the Ellis
Forde company's store here, great
ly improving the appearance and also
giving much added floor space to the
two departments that have been
switched. The groceries have been
moved to the rear of the store and
the shoes have been brought forward
and occupy the space vacated by the
groceries. A long line of shelving
has been built from floor to ceiling
along the left wall and these have
been filled with an immense stock OF
shoes. Two bicycle ladders have
been ordered for this department
The shoe stock has been trebled in
size and many finer lines of both
ladies and mems shoes are now car
ried than heretofore.
The new arrangement of the gro
Gerry department gives much more
floor space for the handling and dis
play of that stock, which has been
greatly increased until it is as big
again as it was formerly. On the
lot directly back of the store a gro.
Gerry warehouse will be erected and
a passageway will be constructed un-
der the alley, connecting the sales.
room with the warehouse.
