oUR CONTEMPORARIES. Pull Again for Prosperity.
(The Denver Republican. )


 Except for the distrust caused by the panic there has been no development since then to indicate that the resump- ton of activity will be long delayed There is an abundance of money every where. The stringency Immediately following the panic was due to distrist, not to any real lack of money, and now that the banks have resumed payments and the disposition to hoard money has almost entirely disappeared. 1t is seen that the volume of currency Is ample for all the country's needs. The high prices for farm products which still prevail continue as an incentive to farmers to plant extensively, and there Is nothing to indicate that this will not he year of as bounteous a harvest as any of those which have gone be- fore. The railroads are well-supplied with cars and other equipment. and there will be no check on that score to a resumption of traffic In short, the athlete has been resting for the last four months. He has recovered his breath and he Is ready to start again.

 TO demonstrate his faith in the prac- tlcanility of electricity for all domestic purposes, an official of an Illinois cleo trlc company has recently built house at Carrollton, H., without a chimney or any other means of making use of fire. The house is heated by steam and the cooking done by electricity, both supplied by the heat, light and power company with which the gentleman is connected. This construction marks me beginning of an effort to obtain customers for current to be used in the kitchen, and a special rate has been fxed for that kind of service.
 Dr. Alexander Schaefer has been in- vestigating the vision of many animal species and has found that the size of the eyeball is the principal factor of acuteness of vision. The bovine spe- cies has the sharpest sight. The sec ond place Is occupied by man and the horse, which have nearly equal visual powers; the third by the sheep. Small, and especially small-eyed, animals, whether mammals, birds, amphibia or reptiles, have very poor sight. Owls and buzzards are the only birds that possess great acuteness of vision. It has long been known that dogs have such indistinct vision that as a rule |. dog is not able to recognize his mas ter by sight alone.
 The magnitude of some of our naval problems isn't generally appreciated.

The STATE MILITIA
Associated Press.

Pensacola, April 15.-Streets cars
were operated on all Of the lines of
the city today under protection of
the state troops. All cars were run
into the barns at dark and no at
tempt will be made to run them to-
night.
No serious disturbance occurred
during the day.
Troops were statined in every sec'
tion Of the city today while the cars
were operated, but when darkness
came they were placed in the barns
because the colonel in command Of
the troops did not care to attempt to
protect the cars at night with feeling
running so high.
Excitement was caused several
times today by torpedoes being placed
on the tracks causing some fright to
the strikebreakers.

Arm TORN FROM HIS BODY
and SHOULDER is MANGLED
Details of the Accident Cannot Be
secured-Was Brought to the CITY
on a Special Train Early Last
Night-Resting Easy.

John Galloway, young white mai
about 25 years of age, was brought
to the G.. & s. l. hospital yesterday
afternoon on special train from
Beaumont, where he was seriously in
jured by falling from an M. J. G. X. C.
train or by being jammed between
the cars.
CaIloway's left arm was horribly
crushed and his shoulder badly
mashed. He was operated on by the
hospital surgeons last night about IL
o'clock and the information from the
hospital at that hour was to the ef-
feet that he would likely die before
morning. His left arm was taken off
and his shoulder was so badly in
jured that his recovery appeared i'm
possible. Besides this he was sui
fering from a severe nervous shock
and was unconscious from the time
Of his arrival.
The exact manner in which Gallo.
: way received his horrible injuries is
not known. 1t is thought that he
was on a log train and that he fell
from it while 1t was running ~ a
good speed, but it is considered pos
sible that he got jammed between
two cars. AS the man was brought
in on a special train, and by diff
tferent crew to the one that he was
working with, the actual manner in
which the accident occurred could not
be learned.
Galloway was in the employ of the
railroad company as brakeman. 1t
is not known whether he was mar
ried or not. He appeared to be not
over 20 years of age. His home is at
Hurricane, Ala, and efforts to COM
municate with his relatives were
made last night.
u The young man stood well with the
company. and the officials acted
promptly in trying to provide the
best possible relief for the injured
man.
At 1880 o'clock this morning a
telephone message from the Aospital
was to the effect that Galloway was
resting easy"

ut one time was insulted by a man
on the platform near him. The sena-

would talk to him outside.
Amid scenes tense and dramt'c.
