 Maury Grider was there at all times. Nothing was started in which he was not very conspicuous.

The third annual outing of the Don t Worry Club was pulled off the first Sunday in this month and was attended by the largest crowd yet gathered for this most enjoyable event. The club is one of very large membership and was organized solely for the purpose of coming to gether once year for this delightful outing.
 The location selected for this picnic is one of picturesque surroundings among the pines of the Finals, with a beautiful running stream of pure noun tain water, which could be used for drinking purposes in ease everything else became exhausted. The distance to this beautiful spot from Globe is about twelve miles and was reached by the different members in various ways, some on horseback, some in buggies and wagons, and some of the most enthusi- astie members were known to walk in preference to missing this enjoyable time.
 A four-horse outfit was sent in ad vance with the refreshments, but owing to the unfamiliarity of the country on the part of the driver they were car ried several miles beyond the stopping place and it was necessary to send out scouts to locate them. The driver was found three or four miles off the trail and was finally herded into camp.
 After comfortably locating the horses under the shade of the pines the real program was entered upon, namely, the most cruel and barbarous initiation that has ever occurred in recent history. The new candidates were first given the degree and it was then found necessary to reinstate the old members, as they had become rather rusty in the secret work, and in order to polish them up a bit the full dose was given them with a little new work that had been added to the ritual since the last eonclave.
 Of course it would be giving away the secrets of the order to say anything of what the initiating ceremony consist ed, but it will probably give some hint when it is mentioned that each eandi- date found it necessary to hang his clothing up to dry after teing subjected to this ordeal.
 Many enjoyable features of the pro- gram then followed each other in rapid Crder until high noon arrived and a spread fit for kings was ravenously par taken of. Talk about good things to oatl Such a spread would have to be seen to even get faint idea of the marked proficiency shown on the part of the committee appointed for that pur- pose. Everyone showed disposition to outdo the other in Inc matter of put ting the good things away and when the beasts of burden started on their return trip drawing after them their cumbersome wagon, even they could not help but notice the extreme lightness of the load as compared with the out.

for this increased mortality ought to be ascertained and corrected.
 On the other hand, many of the wrecks are undoubtedly due to the carelessness or inefliciency of the rail way officers or employees. It was a broken locomotive wheel which caused the Shriner calamity on the Southern Pacific few days ago. Other smash ups recently have been due to other sorts of defects in the rolling stock or the roadbeds of the roads. For these the railway companies are responsible. There is a lack of vigil ance often by the railway chiefs or employees which brings disaster. The railway officers say that poor rails are due to the greed of the steel trust. There may be truth in this charge, al though Judge Gary, the head of the United States Steel corporation, says that the reason for the breaking of the rails is that the roads, for econ. omy, buy rails which arc too light for the traffic. The controversy between the railways and the steel men ought to result in changes which will dimin- ish the number of the railway acci- dents, which have become discredit to the country.

going trip. Not so with the poor horses that lugged out the weary wanderers. They in each instances carried home a much heavier load than was their good fortune to bring with them in the morn. ing.
 Some very fine photos were taken of the club and its members in groups, one of which is herewith published. The above picture shows the entire membership with the exception of those who were under the trees asleep early in the day, and is probably the best picture obtained, as the gathering at this time was easy to keep still long enough to get fairly good snap.
 The program for the afternoon con sisted of mock trials, recitations, vocal selections, athletic sports and was con. cluded with several never-to be forgot ten renditions of popular airs by the entire assemblage.
 Several weary travellers were hauled into camp during the day and were given royal treatment. It is not every day that a person travelling through those rough hills can run across camp where turkey sandwiches, etc, etc, are thrust upon him to such an extent that he has to throw up his hands.
 The committees are given above and it is needless t osay that each part was well taken care of and even to the dis mounting after arriving in Globe the program was carried out without a miss.

CAUSES OF RAILWAY wREcKs

Vice President Kruttschnitt of the Union Pacific railway charges that poor rails is one of the leading causes of the frequent wrecks. on the roads MT. Hartman, who ought also to know something about this, says that Kruttschnitt is correct. Some of the officers of the United States Steel cor poration, on the other hand, declare that the accusation is unfounded. But the theory of Hartman and Krutt. schnitt has something to say for it. self. According to the latter person age, in February, 1907, 449 rails broke. and l79 of these were of the modern sort laid within the previous five or six months.
 This is matter which concerns not only the railway companies, but the general public. Most of those wreeks kill people, and the victims are usually neither railway officials nor members Of the steel trust, but are private eiti. zens. Railway employees figure in the list of the dead and wounded in some of these wrecks, but most of the vie. tins are plain people who are travel. ing for business or pleasure, and have right to feel, when they start on ther journey, that they will be able to complete their trip in safety. The percentage of loss of life on American roads is greater than it is on the rail. ways of any of the great countries of Europe, and the cause, whatever it is,

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1.-two fire.
men killed and a property loss of
100000 resulted here from a fire
which destroyed the plant of the j. 1.
Case Threshing Machine Co.
The fire originated in the engine
room. No one was in the room at
the time and the fire was not discov-
cred until it had made considerable
Roadway.
By the time the fire department
was ready to make any effectual re-
sistance the entire building, which is
five-story structure, was mass of
flames. The firemen stuck bravely to
their posts and by heroic effort saved
the buildings iii the neighborhood.
Firemen White and Hartmen, who
lost their lives, were caught under
falling walls. Death was instantan-
eous.
The building was second in size on
ly to the International Harvester
company's building and the loss of
the structure and the machinery is
total.
The agent saved $4,000 in notes
from the safe, but nothing else could
be taken from the building.
The building was insured at the
Case headquarters in Racine, Wis,
and the loss is fully covered.
