TWO DIE WHEN WIND
 OVERTURNES CABOOSE

Cheyenne, Oct. 20-Iiurlcd from the rails by the force of d tornado, a cah"osc on q freight train of the tniul Pacific Railroad plunged down an cmbankmcnt this morning killing two and injuring twcnty-cight per sons. One of those killed was mem Der of the train crew and the other victims were temporary passengers.
 The storm rcsponsibl" for the acci- dent was one of the worst to be eX- pcri"nccd in years in this part of the country. Where the accident occurred th" wind obtained an unobst ructcd sweep through cut, and it's force was sufficient to pick the caboosc up bodily, the coupling links being broken off as though made of match wood.
 Tn" locomotive crew did not be- come aware of the accident to the Cabrusc until the train arrived here. The relief crew sent back to the scene of the accident met two of the SUI Vivors on their way for assistance.

STEERING GEAR IS
 BLAMED FOR ACCIDENT

Seattle, Oct. 22-Defective steer- ing gear on the Cottage City is the reason given by her pilot, Capt. Craig. for the collision between the steam ship and the lumber schooner Bain- bridge. Pilot Craig declares that he saw the schooner ill ample time for the Cottage City to have avoided ac- cidcnt had she answered promptly to her helm.
 This statement by the pilot places the blame almost entirely on the Cot tagc City, although the first account of the collision held the schooner to be equally to blame.

Alaska Gold Production for 1908

Seattle, Oct. 9-Special Correspond ence.-The government assay office in Seattle handles about 60 percent of the total gold production of Alaska and Yukon, the balance being shipped directly to the San Francisco and Philadelphia hints or to the Canadi- ansmint. The percentage sent to Sc- attlca does not vary one percent ill the different years and the receipts are therefore all excellent baron ctcr of the gold production. The receipts tor.the first eight months of 1908 were $l0, ,6S2,249 as compared with $, 732,- S75 for the same period in 1907. In the last five years the re- ceipts during September and October have averaged S3, 800, ,OOO and for No- Vembcr and December about S95O, GOO each.

w Concerning the question of employment
1t must be insisted upon that every in any
way employed in the making distribution of
liquor is, economically considered, not only
employed, but acting to public disadvantage. -
is doing nothing of value in return for the lvingG
that the people give him. The public could bette
afford to pension him and have him cease his
activities than to have him continue to "earn"
his living as he now earns it. Nor must it be
allowed to be forgotten that thousands of the
unemployed today unemployed because the
legitimate production of their toll finds market
when offered in competition with the economically
illegitimate business of the liquor dealer
The Prohibition movement zevU expand" no
power can stop it. And instead of putting in
jeopardy the livelihood of any, it will turn into
honest trade the billions that flow without
valuable return into the gin miller's till, pro-
viding paying and value producing employment
for thousands now out of work and offering hon
est, productive and respectable work to those who
make the poison that robs their fellow
citizens and spreads disease and crime and death
through the land.

three hundred and ffty-hve million dollars an
nually to producers but remember that it takes
from the general public, returning absolutely
nothing, more than TWO THOUSAND MIL
LION DOLLARS.
For every dollar that it puts into the hands
of the farmer, the laborer or the manufacturer,
it takes from someone at least $500, and takes
it by process that has all the economic char
acteristcs of robbery.
III. Conceding the liquor dealers claim to pay
annually almost one hundred and thirty-rine mil
lion dollars in public revenues, put over against
it two great incompatible facts: First, The Ii
quor traffic confessedly produces large part of
the public cost that consumes the public revenue.
(The poorest student of statistics knows that)
Second, The liquor traffic takes our citizens and
makes them by the thousands into criminals and
paupers and incompetents.
In the face of that fact alone not word needs
to be listened to about revenue. No revenue,
were it thousand times all the revenue now re-
ceived by the government, could for moment
compensate for such a destruction of the most
valuable of national wealth.

of assessors, under whose authority the excise
board grants licenses admitted to Mr.. Newlin
that not one written request for the granting
of the license had been filed, except that of the
Washington Terminal Company; "And yet" he
added, although they not brave enough to
put their names file we had private, verbal
requests representing probably more than 100000
people in the United States and had to heed the
demand and grant the license"
1t is presumed he referred to all the liqu6F
interests and to the employees of the United
States and also to all the employees of the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads,
which really constitute the Washington Terminal
Company. Yet these railroads. which are will
ing to debauch the travelling public in their sta
ton saloon would discharge any employee who
should patronize it.
Mr.. Newlin is now speaking in this city. On
Tuesday evening he addressed a large audience
in the Waugh Methodist Episcopal church and
on Wednesday evening in the Vermont Avenue
"The Garfield Memorial" Christian church. On
Thursday he permitted to close the three
hours argument in the hearing before the district
commissioners on the three bills before Congress
providing for local option for the district for
Prohibition for the district and for the abolish
ing of the saloon in the Union Station by act of
Congress. This evening Mr.. Newlin will adj
dress mass meeting at the Metropolitan Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
An appeal to the district superior court will
be filed so soon as the papers can be properly
prepared.
he entire nation Will look on with the deepest
interest The excise board will have to appeal
the case go out of existence if the case is
won in the lower court The temperance forces
will at once appeal if defeated in lower court
Will this battle be Bull Run or an Apo
mattox? The people of the United States can
largely determine that. If sufficient funds are
provided for securing the best constitutional law
yers in America and long, determined fight is
put up, there is little doubt of final victory
Should Congress abolish this station saloon
der the bill introduced by Congressman Hehin
of Alabama, remonstrance against some other
applicant will be at once filed.
The battle will be waged to the bitter end A
large fund will be needed at once All checks
should be made payable to c. E. Newlin, treas
urer, 5372 East Washington street, Indianapolis
Ind and will be deposited in the bank subject-

victory and final Appomattox for the legaized
liquor power
