For city clerk only the name of J.

The determination to get in a to-

Is really needed and this is the mark
that all the workers are looking tow

MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
Sad News Reaches the City of the
Tragic Fate of Virgil &.
FnllSncr.

1t was sad news that message
from Evanston. Wyoming brought
to one of the oldest families Of the
city on yesterday morning, news to
the effect that a son and brother had
met death in some awful form in a
railroad accident on Saturday after
noon.
Virgil G. Falkner was the young
man whose life was cut off so sudden
ly and untimely The announcement
| of his tragic death caused widespread
J sorrow among great circle Of
friends and threw a cloud of intense
sorrow over the Falkner home that
will be hard to dispeil. FOR years
the family has resided in Grand juno
ton and the young man was widely
and most favorably known.
The message gave no particulars.
simply stating that the young man
had been killed on the Union Pacific
and later message also gave no
particulars X. II. Falkner, father
of the dead man, left yesterday af-I
ternoon on No. for Wyoming and
will bring the remains to this city
for burial.
Only about two weeks ago Fallner|
left his home in Grand Junction for
wyoming where he had secured en-
ployment as a brakeman on the Union
Pacific, He had only two or three
runs out of Evanston when he met
his death. 1t is very probable that
he was caught under car while on
duty. The accident, is seems, hap
pened near Granger, Wyoming, and
there the body is being held awaiting
the arrival of the father For several
years the young man has been en-
ployed first a switchman in the local
Yards and then as brakeman on the
Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western
but a short time ago he decided to-
sever his connection with the Rio
Graude system and go to the north
west. He was an excellent work
man, was popular among his fellow
employees and bid fair to rise rapidly
in the railroad service.
Only a few weeks ago Mr.. FalknerI
was pretty severely injured while on
duty on a freight train rdnning out
of this city. but the injuries were not
serious.
Virgil Gilbert Falkner would have
been "a years of age on June 9th, Of
this year. He was born in Missouri
He was the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
K. II. Falkner who have resided here
for years. Two brothers survive him,
E. FaIkner. first assistant chief of the
fire department. and Grover FalSner,
younger brother.
The deceased was member Of
Book Gin Camp woodmen of the
World and a member of Grand juno
tion volunteer fire department. He
was a young man Of excellent. .charac-
ter and genial disposition and his
death is indeed a very sad one.
The remains will probably reach
this city about Wednesday night.

Wheel by Delivery Wagon.
 While riding bicycle on Chapel street, near College street, yesterday morning, Robert Talcott, who lives at the corner of oak street and Daven- port avenue, was run Into by one of Grocer Nesbits delivery wagons. He was knocked off the wheel

 A queer old Planet.
 Perhaps the most surprising thing of all respecting saturn's constitution and structure is that r should be composed of materials so slightly con- densed that were 1t cast Into water it would float with the buoyancy of wooden ball. weighed in the mathe- matican's balance, the planet, taken as whole, is only three-fourths the density of water, or one-eighth the earth's density. In substance, then, saturn is the llghtest of all the plan- cts. In this respect the results ob- tained by Professor Darwin from in- vestigation based on the figures of equilibrium of rotating liquids show that both Saturn and Jupiter, though so light in bulk, are toward their cen ters comparatively very dense. Under the operation of the law of gravitation this effect Is inevitable with matter in globular form. In the case of Saturn, the amount of the equatorial bulging shows that it's density increases cen- trally The planets exterior materials visible to the eye must certainly be of specific gravity so low as to be wholly inconsistent with the supposi- ton that they are either solid or H. quid.
 The arguments in favor of 8 high temperature for Jupiter apply with in- creased force to Saturn. There Is rea- son for thinking that large propor- ton of the planet is composed of heated vapors kept in active and vlo- lbNLlN hSl lldL LCu CllGuldAtpll ny lilS plO" cess of cooling. Striking evidence of great disturbances-erup from below which in some instances have been noticed to send forth bright lights Lasting for weeks together-were oc- casionally observed during the close scrutiny of the planets surface made 1 in the summer months of 1905. The agltations were of character which left no room for doubt that Saturn 1 is In an earlier state of planetary life than even Jupiter. At the present moment comparative quiescence rests upon the recently disturbed surface.
 There has come to light the interest," | ing act that Saturn has a permanent north temperate current, moving around the globe at much slower rate than the great equatorial current, the difference in one revolution Iamounting to as much as twenty-three and one-half minutes. In other words. | the equatorial stream gains upon the north temperate stream at the rate of 800 miles an hour-thus outstrlppine Jupiter in his extremest turbulence compared with which the earth's f1erc- est hurricanes are as naught.-Fort- nightly Review.
