PROVISIONS IN KANSAS.
A New Yorker Gives Good Reasons for
Enumeration to the SunfIower State.

My old friend John r. Keech of
Poughkeepsie has five lusty kids and
lives few miles out in the country.
After reading some remarks of mine
on the price of meats, fish, etc. he
has this to say: Il keep in close touch
with the West. January 81, farmers
were receiving: For hogs. So. rs per 100
pounds dressed; cows. 81. so to So per
100 pounds dressed; steers, So to So. so
per 100 pounds dressed; turkeys. cents
a pound; chickens, cents a pound;
eggs, IA cents dozen; butter, II cents
pound
Speaking of flour: eff yo"r house
hold uses Minnesota -FOUR says Mr..
Keech, 81 advise you to get some mill
ed from Kansas wheat and note the
difference. Minnesota flour is much
inferior, for nearly every year the
wheat in Minnesota and Dakota is af-
fiicted with smut, and this affects the
flour disastrously. The finest bread
ever ate is made from -four sent from
Kansas and l get it for $4 35 f. o. b.
Here it retails for $6. rs, with people
breaking their necks to get it.
A year ago the price of 24-pound
sack of flour (Minnesota) at the cor
ner grocer's was 55 or so cents; to-day
it is 95 cents. Eight sacks to the bar
rel bring the price of the latter up to
$7.7O. Why shouldn't our surplus popu-
lation move to Kansas and live on the
fat of the land at about one-fourth the
New York prices?-Victor Smith in the

MILLIONS TO SAVE LIFE.
Splendid Record Made by the Union
Pacific During the Past Year.

1t is often charge that human life, in
the present age, lis held of little value.
Whenever there is an accident in which
lives are lost, sensationalists generally
bring forward the argument that great
employers of labor do not exercise the
right care for the protection of life.
The annual report of the Union Pacific
railway shows among other interesting
things, how great has been the effort
made during the past year to reduce to
the minimum the possibilities of acci-
dent and of the destruction of human
life and personal injury incident to the
operation of railways.
During the past year about 50, 600. 900
were expended i'll the installation of
safety appliances, all for the purpose
of reducing to the lowest possible de-
gree the chance of accidents. That this
expenditure has not been in vain is
shown by the comparative report of
the loss of life and of personal injury
on account of accident. For the year
ending June 80, 1907, the total number
of employees killed on the Union Pacific
system was Sc, and injured S59, out of
total of 27,0O0 employees, and 95 per
cent. of the injuries were very slight
During the year 1906, 63 employees were
killed. During the year ending June
80, 1907, there were but three passen-
gers killed and 100 injured. In 1906
two passengers were killed and 135
ployed as postal clerks, express mes
sengers, etc. one was killed and 80 in
jured, compared with killed and Is
injured during 1906. Other persons
who lost their lives during the past
year through railroad accidents of the
system number 35, with injuries to As,
against 46 killed and 73 injured in 1906.
The total killed in all accidents for the
year 1907 was los, the total number
injured 1104, against LA killed and
1882 injured in 1906
When it is taken into consideration
that the increased business handled by
this company is indicated by increases
of 2 66 per cent. in tons of freight car
ried one mile and 12.87 per cent. in the
passengers carried one mile, 1O.16 per
cent in the total train mileage, the de-
crease in the loss of life is remarkable.
The principal train accidents during
the year include collision between
running wild freight car and a freight
train near Cheyenne on August 20.
1906, In which one engineer was killed,
one fireman and one brakeman injured.
This accident was due to the failure to
properly set the brakes in the Chey-
enne yards.

There is story of little boy who

Old Soldiers

Again we want to call your attention
to the Importance of gathering the evi-
dence now that your wife would re-
quire in case you should die first, for
the law as to widows pensions is
very strict and many are long months,
some years, furnishing the evidence
necessary. Some have never been
ceived their pension.
They require and must have
1st-the evidence of two witnesses
showing whether you or your wife
were ever married previous to your
marriage to each other.
2d-If either of you were ever mar
ried before your marriage to each 9TH
er, the evidence of two witnesses
showing the former marriage, and of
the former wife.
Sd : The evidence of the Probate
Court or other court or Church record
or of two witnesses who were present
at your wedding showing your mar
rage to each other.
The rest of the evidence she can get.
You old soldiers who were married
80 or 90 years know that this evidence
is hard to get, be still harder for her
to get when you are gone.
You should not leave it for her, and
the Pension department allows you to
get it now and lay away for future use
when needed. In every widows claim
we have got through we have encoun-
tered these troubles, and we again
urge the old soldiers to get this evil
dence now and lay away with your
pension papers.
