ing Left Hip.
Injury Of Such a Mature That Am.
putstion of Leg May be
Necessary.

Ralph Burgess aged 26 years,
and married is lying in critical
condition at his home on Waterloo
street as result of "a serious ac-
cident which occurred in the pat
tern room of the Huber shops
at 5:25 O'Clock Monday evening.

feet and was attempting to lift a

The physicians examination disclos-
ed that Burgess had sustained a

HOW IS
MOTHER?
This was the First Question
Asked by Secretary
Taft.

Columbus O., Aug. 20. Have
you news this morning of my
mothers condition?"
This question, earnestly asked of
newspaper reporter who called
him, Tuesday, showed that Wm.
H. Taft is more interested in his
mothers condition just now than he
is in running for the presidency.
He had no inurirv to make as to
how his widely advertised speech
was accepted or what the critics
had to say-all he wanted was
information from his mothers bed
side.
Secretary Taft believes that his
mothers condition is critical and
he may change his plans at any
minute. Word received from Har-
old Taft, the secretary's brother,
Monday night, was not so encourag-
ing and it was the first disappoint-
ing message that the brother has
sent.
Secretary Taft took breakfast

manager during this ride.

AMERICAN ROADS MOST DEADLY
United States Leads In Number OF
Persons Killed on Rails.

Berlln.-Herr CUTLERY, an official Of
the archive bureau of the Prussian
railway administration, has prepared
a comparative table of statist .cs of
those killed and injured by railways
in various countries. He finds that
the railroads in the United States are
the most deadly. The United states
has more mileage than all Europe.
but even taking that into considera-
tion, the United States holds pre-
eminence in proportional figures.
Out of every thousand railway en-
ployes the ratio of the number each
year is as follows: United States,
AS; Switzerland, 23.3 England, lis;
Belgium, IL; Germany, "a.
sOut of every 10000 employees the
relative figures of killed are; United
States, 261; England, 1885, Switzer-
land, SO; Russia. rs; British India.
81; Belgium, Al.
Herr CUTLERY finds that in a single
year, the fiscal year of 1902, 376,500
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom 10000 were employees
and $500 were killed, Of whom 1900
were employees.
In the matter of travellers injured,
France holds the lowest record in the
world The United States shows pro-
portionately 40 times as many ins
iured as Russia: % times as many
as Italy; as England, 20; Belgium, s;

Attempt Made to Rob Two
.H Stores
ROBBERS ARE SURPRISED
While at Work but Make
Their Escape.
H&berman Hardware Store and Of.
fee of Phil Malo Visited by
Knights Of the Jimmy.

Burglars attempted to enter the
Haberman hardware store last night
at about 9:15 o'clock. Fred Hab-
erman, Jr., who had remained later
than usual working over the books,
heard them trying to pry open the
skylight windows. Captain Of police
Bond was summoned and an at
tempt to trap the burglars was
made. However the marauders
heard the officers approach and
made their escape.
The tin covering the flat roof of
the block had been but painted yes
terday and the tracks of the would
be burglars were plainly visible.
The paint was tracked through an
open window into the Tally Wag
club rooms and it is supposed that
the men had entered those quarters
before being scared away by the
officer.
Mr.. Haberman said that he could
see the house breakers working over
the skylight and that, they were
four in number. The tracks on
the roof evinced that there were
four men in the party.
Philip Malo's junk shop Office
located on Farming street was
broken into about IL o'clock last
night. The burglars, however, were
scared away by the appearance of
Mr.. Malo, who heard the men break
the glass in, the office window. As
Mr.. Malo turned the corner to en-
ter the Office, four men jumped
through the broken window and ran
down an alley. The large plate
glass was broken out but the burg.
lars did not succeed in getting away
with plunder.

ing toward the betterment of the pub
lie school.
In this connection Mr.. Jones, con-
siering the greater preparation on
the part of the teachers, said that
they deserved and should have a
greater remuneration for their serv-
ices. The speaker in closing his ad-
dress promised his best efforts for the
betterment of the salaries of the
school teachers of Ohio.

Try Changing Shoes.

Few women seem to know of the rest that results from changing the shoes as soon as one goes indoors, There are two reasons for resting power produced by changing the shoes; one is that in the street are worn heavier shoes than are required for the house. the other is that a slight difference in shaping permits the pedal cords and muscles to re- lax. Shoes for the street should never be worn indoors any longer than is necessary to change them.

PONGEE SILK WAIST.
MOST POPULAR AND pREssY OF
 MATERIALS.
Texture Has Many Advantages the Woman Who Knows How to Dress Will Be Quick to
 Recognize.

Waists of pongee silk will be very much in demand for various reasons. In the first place, the color is so well suited to the prevailing gowns and the natural straw hats, and the mate rial washes and wears splendidly. Again, the cost is not prohibitive, and the silk is always more dressy than muslin and does not crush and soil as quickly. The pongee silk waist shown here is the latest model. and one that is just appearing in the shops. It shows the present popular pleated jabot and pleated cuff effect. The collar is detachable and has an ample band to permit of the high turn down linen collar being worn with it. The cost is about five dollars.
