Mrs. G. A. Wood who arrived from
Washington City, D. c., last Saturday
for months visit at the home of her
parents, DR.. and Mrs. w. F. Waight,
was passenger of he Pennsylvania
limited train which was wrecked while
running nearly fifty miles an hour near
Stewart, Penn, about 2 o'clock last
Thursday morning, train wrcckers hav-
ing removed the spikes from the rails
in an effort to rob the train. Mrs.
Wood was asleep in Pullman sleeping
car and her name was reported in the
daily papers as among the list of forty
passengers injured, but fortunately
she was but slightly injured, receiving
sharp bump on her head when the
train was derailed. She was in the
fourth sleeper from the front of the
train and this car while leaving the
track was not overturned. The engine
mail car and eight coaches were
burned, but not single person was
killed, although the engineer and fire.
man were badly injured. The injured
passengers were at once taken to Pitts
burg and cared for, and it is thought
none of them were seriously injured.
1t is little short of miracle that a
large number were not killed.

Postmaster Willard E. Stookey has a
supply of the new one cent stamp books
and they are finding ready sale with
the public. The books contain twenty
four one cent stamps and sell for Is
cents. The 2 cent stamp books have
been on sale for number of years, and
it has always been a wonder to the pub
lie why the government did not make
one cent stamp books for they are a
very convenient shape in which to Sc
cure and carry stamps.

Mrs. Addie L. Curry met with pain
full and unusual accident last Sunday
While dining at Hotel Leon very
small chicken bone became lodged in
her throat and she has suffered greatly
A physician was called at once and
every effort made to remove the bone,
but it was so small and had apparently
buried itself in the membrane of the
throat so that it could not be located
The bone finally became dislodged
Monday, and Mrs. Curry experienced
great relief although her throat is
still quite sore from the laceration.

Mrs. Anna Fierce, of Van Vert, re-
turned Thursday from Creston, where
on Tuesday of last week she had the
ring finger on her right hand amputsted
by DR.. Sampson, the operation being
necessary on account of necrosis of the
bone. Some three months ago while
enroute to California Mrs. Fierce had
the end of her finger crushed while
travelling on Santa Fe train and this
injury was the cause of the finger being
amputated. In passing from the day
coach to the sleeper soon after leaving
Kansas City Mrs. Fierce put her hand
against the side Of the vestibule just as
the car lurched and the vestibule bump
ers caught her finger and crushed the
end of it badly.

RESIDENTS PROTEST
AGAINST CAR LINE
Proposed Track to Station
Not Approved By Prop
erty Owners.

A suggestion by the Commissioners Of
the District to Congress that franchises
be granted the street railway companies
permitting them TO Las a double track
way along New Jersey avenue as an ap-
prOach from the Northwest section OF
the city to the New Union Station. is
Being fought by the residents living
along the intended route.
As representatives. Of a special COM
mittec chosen by % per cent Of those
living on that part Of New Jersey ave-
nue. which would be affected By the
proposed change, Warner Stutler and
Oscar NJ. Bryant have communicated
with Commissioner Macfarland asking
that he reconsider his recommendation.
The residents set forth in their Pc
ttion that New Jersey avenue is the only
avenue leading from the Capitol TO the
Northwest section Of the city, which is
free from car lines; that several Sena-
tors last year opposed a similar measure
and had a bill providing for such per
mission defeated that nobody viii be
benefited by the line on this street but
the car companies. since there are sew
eral other routes which would afford as
efficient accommodation as the one sug
gested.
one route suggested by the property
owners is that a track could be con-
structed along Massachusetts avenue
from Seventh street northwest. Another
feasible route would be along Florida
avenue from Seventh street 10 North
Capitol street. and thence to the Union
Station. Stiu another route suggested
would be from Seventh street 20 Fourth
street on Florida avenue. thence over
the Fourth street line TO its intersec-
ton with Massachusetts avenue, and
thence east on Massachusetts, avenue TO
the station. Both OF these routes last
named have tracks laid upon them for
a part Of the route named.

LESSON OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Franchise Grating Due to Private Com
petition For Public Utilities.

Opponents of municipal owner
ship of public utilities should take
4 side glance at the city of Sau
Francisco just now. Half dozen
times in the past few weeks the
press of the United States has pub
Iished dispatches from that city Civ
ing long lists of indictments found
by the grand jury against men at
the head of street railways and
telephone companies, who are char
ged with having paid brides to
members of the city board of super
visors in order to obtain franchises
for which other companies were
competing.
When earthquake and fire little
more than a year ago reduced San
Francisco almost to primitive con-
ditions so far as street car service
and certain other public conven-
fences were concerned. Graft, with
a big G, then found its golden op-
portunity aud did not hesitate to
improve the chance. San Francisco
had been cable car town. It was
there that the cable street railroad
originated, and because of the
city,s extraordinary hilliness many
of the car lines were still operated
by the cable system, which every
where else had gone out of use.
The incessant clang and clatter of
cable cars made San Francisco the
noisiest city in the United States.
After the. great fire everybody
hoped for trolley lines operated by
the underground conduit system,
but the greedy operators bribed
the city legislature TO give them
franchises at nominal figure for
overhead trolleys. thus saddling
upon the city a dis6guriug and
dangerous system of poles and
wires.
IF the city had determined to
build its own street car lines
instead of farming out its fran
ehises to private capital, the peo-
nae would have had the kind of
street car system they demanded
and the grafters would not have
nreved nnon the community.

'FIREBRAND
FORAKER
His Speech Stirring up Race
Hatred Codemned
Poisons the Very Source Of the EnIisht.
eminent That Would Lift Up the
Race From It's Present
Condition.

Condition.
It is not a pleasant thing to do,
but really we shall ali have to
change Senator Foraker's breezy
and picturesque praenomen of Fire
Alarm to Firebraud. which is
neither breezy nor picturesque, but
lurid.
His inhanmatory address to the
negro students, teachers Il d
preachers of Wilberforce Univer-
sity, in Ohio, was as dangerous a
6rebrand of demagogy as this
country has heard in many a year.
In its stirring up of race hatred
the speech IS a menace to the
whites of every community IN
which negroes are numerous,
whether it be in Ohio or in a
Southern State.
For the negroes, Senator Fora
ker's teaching is as mischievous and
as misleading as any they have
received since they were emancl-
pated. Through the educated
young men. the teachers and the
preachers who heard him, Senator
Foraker would spread among the
negroes of Ohio and of other States
the false and dangerous notion
that they must fight for rights
which the white man is denying
them.
Though in every State the laws
amply secure to the negroes the
enjoyment of every lawful right,
Senator Firebrand Foraker would
incite them to be arrogant and
aggressive in demanding conces-
sions which the whites will not
grant in Ohio or elsewhere. The
only effect of his harangue is to
inhame passions, leading to race
in which the negroes get
the worst every time. 4
The negroes need guidance, and
the Firebrand Senator misleads
them. Still worse, he poisons the
sources from which it has been
hoped they might, in time, receive
right guidance through enlight-
eued members of their own race.
If there is any element in our
negro population which can help
the race forward and upward
through sound teaching, it is the
bishops, preachers and school ms
.ructors. Friends of the negro in
he South have exerted every effort
% gain the cooperation of this
lass in intoxicating principles of
honesty and industry among the
negro masses.
They have had little success.
Appeals to race passions, such as
Foraker made to the Bishops, the
the teachers and the
Students at Wilberforce, destroy |
he hope of success. And unless
here is a leaven of progress such |
Is Booker Washington is trying TO |
introduce among the negroes them
selves, the race is sure to sink |
leeper in idIeness, vice and worth
essness.
The game of politics has not
,een played SO recklessly with fire
n thirty years in this country as
Foraker is now playing it but the
orch in this instance is quite as
dangerous to the man who carries
as to anybody else. The Fire
,rand Senator cannot, in the year
-e08, win any sort of Presidential
ight by stirring up strife between
he races.
