Seventy-tWo Dead on Fourth.

The Chicago Tribune says seventy
two dead and 2,736 injured are tn,
second-day totals of the accidents at,
tending the celebration of the Fourth
OF July in the United States. This
breaks all records for deaths since
1899
The number of deaths this year re.
ported is thirteen more than at the
same time last year. In 1905 fifty
nine were dead at this same time.
The number of injuries, however, is
only two-thirds Of the average for the
last five years. This is regarded as
an indication that the agitation for a
sane fourth is having its effect.
This years fire loss is S535, +j3
which is about the average of the last
ten years.

Thirteen Die In Wreck

The total fatalities from the disas-
trous wreck on the Northwestern line,
near Clinton, small station west of
Valentine, Nebraska, has now reached
thirteen, of which four were train men
and nine were tramps, who were beat
ing their way and officials say there
may be more bodies buried beneath
the enormous piles of coal. The spot
where the culvert was washed away
has never been known to contain more
than foot'of water at time and
when the double header freight plung-
ed into the hole it was filed with nine
feet of water. The passenger train
was late that fateful morning and the
freight crew obtained orders to run on
ahead. Had the passenger train been
on time it would have met the same
fate of the freight and the loss no
doubt would have been appalling.

Omaha's Water Trouble

The city OF Omaha has refused TO
pay the water company its annual
rental. The city charges that the com
pany agreed to furnish unadulterated
water Chemists and other forms of
common sense have been brought in to
the end that it has been determined
that the water supply is mostly mud.
A man having a mind for mathe-
matics has figured it out that the peo-
pie of Omaha drink thirty -one tons of
solid earth every day. st. Louis
knows what this means: it once drank
mud as part of its daily regimen:
but it learned secret that Omaha
ought to try. Without some attention
any water supply that originates in
the bosom of the Missouri river must
be faulty. Ingalls, or some other
western genius once said that the Mis-
souri, was too thick for navigation and
too thin for cultivation: but science
can help lot if it is allowed to inter
vene.

and consistency of chocolate. 1t was
said to be healthful although it didn't
look 1t. The water of today is all but

at and fine for drnk.-St. Louis Times.

The West Has Made a Friend.

Denver has one visitor with whom il
promises to get along very well indeed.
Mr.. George Harvey, editor of Harper's
Weekly. the North American Review
and otherwise high mogul in the house
of Harper, no sooner reached town
than he began to hand out compli-
ments. Denver likes that sort of
thing: it likes the people who are free
with good cheer
NJ: Harvey never strayed into the
West until he got call to visit
Nevada and make "a speech at its uni
versity. Some of the things Mr.. Har-
vey found out on that trip are of the
Kind which make it worth the while of
the West to invite the East to come
out and see it. He saw more than the
freaky differences the average visitor
usually finds it necessary to watch for,
and therefore was able to report:
THAT there is more robust patriosm
in the far West than in the East
THAT there is keener civic pride.
''That there is less drunkenness and
profanity.
That refinement in manners aud
conversation is so marked as to be
noticeable.
That all, Old and young, are quick
to perceive, and generously appre-
| ciative of the most subtle humor.
THAT jealousy Of the East does not
exist-only a curiously vague resent
melt of what might be termed pre-
sumption of superiority.
That Western people care less for
money and more for achievement.
THAT successful business men get
elected to the senate, less through COR
rupt methods than for the reason that
they are supposed to be able to ''dC
things for the state ''-Denver Re.

States Needed to Win

Inc democratic party was once able
to win with the solid south and New
York. Later it needed the solid south,
New York and another state like In
diana or the three states meeting at
New York, New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut.
The apportOnment made on the CEN
sus of 1900 added only twelve votes ia
the electoral college to the south and
twenty six votes to the northern states
including Oklahoma. The solid south
1863 votes. and New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut. iifty-eight more, lack
twenty-five votes Of a majority. A
fourth large northern state or two
lesser ones are needed to give a demo-
cratic majority for president. Okla
hOma, seven votes, is not enough.
This would still leave eighteen votes
to be had somewhere.
If BRYAN is to be elected this year he
| must carry every southern state, he
must get the electoral vote of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and he must add to this besides Okla
hOma some one Of the larger states be-
| tween Ohio and Nebraska. He mus.
carry his own state for instance, which
he has not done since 1896.
The day IS over when the democratic
party can concentrate on New York or
on New York and Indiana, as in the
past. At least three northern states
besides New York must be carried. I'M
less the democratic ticket wins some
one big state like Illinois, which it has
never won on a presidential election
save with Cleveland, in 1892.
The odds are, therefore more
heavily against a party which rests
on the solid south for its vote than
ever before. Each census sees the
northern states make a relatively
larger gain. When a presidential
election comes in 1912 on the basi, of
the census Of 1910, New York and five
medium-sized states will be needed
with the solid south to carry the cleo.
toral college for democratic candi.
date.
Moreover, the republican majOrities
in the northern states grow. They
do not diminish. They were never
larger than in the past four years.

Waitin' For a Bite.

4 barefoot boy, I stood upon
The little bridge of plank,
Or down beneath the cottonwood
Along the shady bank.
A crooked pole within my hands,
My heart filed with delight
My eyes agleam upon the stream,
Jest waitin' fur bite.
What though the nibble never come
TO strip my bent pin hook?
Twas Joy enough fur me to be
Down there beside the brook.
An thus | passed the happy hours,
Half hidden out of sight,
In idle dream beside the stream
While waitin fur bite
The years hev come and gone since
then,
I've fingered by the brook
Of life where trade goes rushing by
With ready line and hook.
I've stood upon the crowded bank
By day, an then by night:
I've angled there in storm an lair,
Jest waitin fur bite.
I've waited fur the fish success
To come an bite my pin;
They come an sniff like them of old
An then swim off ag'in.
Yet still I'm standin' on the bank
F'rum mornin' until night,
An | shall stay the same old way
Until | git a bite.

Port au Prince, Hayti, July THE
disastrous fire which started in the

been controlled after 400 buildings
were burned broke out afresh and
caused further extensive damage.
The renewal OF the confagration

damaged many buildings and scattered
blazing embers over a wide area The
roof of the National bank was shaken

CABINET PLACE FOR JOHNSON
Bryan Agrees to Do Something for
Minnesota Man.

Denver, July An interesting echo
from Lincoln has reached here to the
effect that Mr.. Bryan has received
favorably the suggestion that the re-
cent pronounced antagonism Of the
Bryan men to Governor Johnson of
Minnesota shall be Offset by the init
nation that in the event of Mr.. Bry-
ans election he will invite Johnson
to take place in his cabinet One of
the many visitors to Mr.. Bryan who is
now here has pointed out to him that
the marked antagonism to Johnson
might ALLEVIATE the influential Scan
dinavian element, with which the Min
nesota governor is identified by birth
and association. Mr.. Bryan did not
relish the idea Of playing politics."
but at the same time, 1t is said, he
received the suggestion with consider.
able favor and that If the matter
could be freed from interested mo,
tives and political expediency he
would be inclined to let 1t be under
stood that Governor Johnson would be
favorably considered If the occasion
arises to form a Bryan cabinet.

TOM JOHNSON FEELS HURT
Bryan Refused to Approve His Gov.
ernment Ownership Plank.

Denver, July Mayor Tom l..
Johnson of Cleveland has a crouch
and a tlattened boom for the chair.
manship of the Democratic national
committee.
Mr.. Johnson sat on the boom him
self, stating that he would not accept
the craftsmanship were it offered him,
but another reason, Ohio delegates
who are here declare, is the fact that
Johnson will not be elected national
committeeman from Ohio and that his
defeat will rebound to the success of
Harvey G. Garger of Columbus.
Mayor Johnson's crouch is believed
to have been instigated by difference
of opinion which arose between him
self and Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln. The
Cleveland mayor carried to Mr.. Bry-
an plank on government ownership
OF railroads, matter on which the
Nebraskan uttered some radical ideas
about, but which he has since been
keeping In his trunk.
Mayor Johnson asked Mr.. Bryan to
insist upon the Incorporation of the
government ownership plank in the
platform and Mr.. Bryan declared he
would not do so.
