quency takes edge off their significance.
During the year 1907, on a single Amer
lean railroad. lN employees were killed
outrights and S,575 were injured. The cost
of these accidents to the railroad in ques-
ton was something like sos, 900. With an
employers liability law in force and oper-
alton, as in countries abroad, the increase
in total paid to employees alone on this
road would have carried the aggregate to
half a million dollars.
Thu magnitude and Importance of the
safety problem in relation to employees is
still more evident when we consider that
for the year ended Tune 30, 1907. the cas-
ualty list on American railroads shows a
total of all persons killed, from all causes.
Of 5000, and injured p, 2s6; the totals for
employees alone being 4,23 killed and 62,6ST
injured.
The following figures in regard to actual
train accidents and the casualties resulting
therefrom show a rather, discouraging state
Of affairs, from the fact that the en-
ployes themselves were in the main re-
sponsible for them. In 1904 the killed and
injured employees in train accidents num-
bered 1884; in 1905. 1880; in 1906, 1882. and
in 1907. 1895. AS with all other items, so
with accidents TO employees, the total Of
casualties has largely increased year by

Counteracts Cut in Revenue.
APRIL SHOWING REMARKABLE
Though Gross Earnings Fell on
Nearly Half Million, Net Gain
Exceeded This Decrease by
Low Operating Cost.

The statement OF the Union Pacific for
the month of April is remarkable for the
decrease in operating expenses, a decrease
which is attracting attention in the railroad
world. 1t is accounted for in a large meas
ure, by the track Of the Union Pacific west,
which was in such good condition at the
beginning of the financial furry, and when
business fell off hat little work was re-
quired to keep it in shape,
Although the gross revenue Of the Union
Pacific fell off A47, 342. % in April, the oper-
ating expenses decreased 500. 1852 in the
same month, making a net increase in
earnings Of 1856. $40, the taxes having in
creased nearly 5000.
The gross revenue of the company was
S. 1855. s53.s2 for April, 1908, as against
Sc, 4l4, 1861 in 1907. The total expenses OF
operation and taxes were 50, 1880 this year
as compared to 1881. 1856. a saving of over
$4,000 Thus the net increase of revenue.

ARE ON LOOKOUT
East Omaha and Florence People
Are a Little Uneasy, but So
Far h River Has Done
No Harm.

The Missouri river Saturday morning
marked a rise Of half a foot, making the
stage now 17.s feet, just a bare two-tenths
of a foot from the flood stage of eighteen
feet. And the river is still rising. Half a
foot rise is reported from the Blair bridge
and a stationary stage at Sioux City. The
river is consequently one-tenth of a foot
higher tina at the high water stage of
June OF last year.
NoNrouble has thus far manifested itself
at Florence lake, Cutoff lake or at East
Omaha. but the people up there are get
ting a trifle anxious. A rise Of another
foot might make things i~nconvenient at
East Omaha and at the same time cause
some anxiety at Florence lake. The river
has in recent years reached a stage of 1s.5
feet without a flood and it is believed this
stage, IL reached during the present high
water, will not cause any material damage
to the river front at Omaha.
The same general rise is noted southwark
from Omaha and reports are coming in OF
lowlands being flooded on the Iowa side
above Plattsmouth.

CARELEsSNESS OF EMPLOYEES
A Particularly Painful Subject 10
Discussion Anon Railroad
Men. +

Comparatively speaking, public attention
has been but slightly directed in any spe-
cific way to the matter Of accidents to
employees on American railroads. 1t is
certainly one of the most distressing fea-
lures TO be studied in connection with the
safety problem. Collisions, derailments, de-
fectlve handholds and brake apparatus and
the like cause injuries to great numbers
of employees.
For example, at Haverhill. N. H, the
other day, five employees were instantly
killed through the alleged carelessness or
oversight of a fellow employee. Such in
stances. of course, are particularly painful
topics for discussion among railroad men.
and yet this is the kind OF an accident
one reads about in the newspapers almost
daily. But in twenty-four hours the read
Ing public will forget the very worst of
these accidents to employees. Their fire.

Hundred Auctioned
in Two Hours. Good
Prices. Total Sales
Amount to $4,000
Next Sale June 20 and
e..

The second horse sale this season
opened at the yards of the Dickinson
Horse Sales Co. at 2 o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Wednesday was the opening
day set by the company, but owing to
the heavy rains the management was I'M
able to start the auction until the follow
ing day.
Buyers from Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
consin and South Dakota were on hand
early in the week and the local buyers
were there when the first bunch came in
to the ring and the list of sales shows
very plainly that they stayed until the
auction closed. and a good number of the
very best horses sold will remain west of
the Missouri river.
In round numbers 700 horses changed
ownership, and it may be truthfully said
that some of the best stuff ever offered
by the Dickinson Horse Sales 60. was
included in the range horses sold at this
auction. There were 200 brood mares of
the plump, blocky. chunk type, weighing
from 100 TO 1900 pounds, with colts by
their sides, and all in excellent condition.
Buyers did not hesitate when this class
came into the ring. Some of the finest
yearlings and tw~o-year-olds sold at
prices that would please both buyer and
seller and the 900 halter-broken mares
and geldings. from three to seven-year-

olds, were grabbed like prize packages,
by the eastern buyers, who have been
thorough horsemen for years and know
that there is good money in range horses.
Walter Parkins bought the first carload
offered-a bunch Of 20 fine brood mares
at 500 per head and during the afternoon
he purchased a total of ia mares of this
same stamp, paying from $50 to 500 per
head. Mr., Parkins bought these mares
to help fill his contract with the govern
ment for 1852 mares for the Indian reser-
walton, and at the close of the sale he re-
ported that 1895 have already been Sc.
cured. The horses must all be broken
before turning them over to the govern
ment in July.
VIM. Gardner bought 10 mares for
s1o3 per head, and Peter Schnell, who
lives in the country 70 miles south, pur-
chased the top load of 20 mares at $40
around, making one of the best bargains
of the day.
Ira Sanders, one of the regular eastern
buyers, was on hand and after the sale
shipped two cars of young mares and
geldings. Sanders handles a good
many horses every year, is a shrewd
buyer, and likes to do business in Dick
inson where he is sure to get good horses
! and a square deal.
H. c. Short, William McCartv, Fred
Dickinson and Nichols & Britt pur-
chased yearlings and ~two-year-olds that
looked too good to let out of the country.
Howard Atkins was in from the Grand
river country with s. head of handsome
range chunks aud returned home with a
big roll. No trouble in disposing of the
class of horses Mr. Atkins brought in. A
large per CEN of the stuff offered was
owned by Messrs. George Dow and J.
M. Watson, owners of the Dickinson
Horse Sales Co.
Many of those who had listed horses
for this sale could not get in on account
of the rivers and creeks, which have
been bank full for a week. Scott Gore
of Mikkelson got as far as Sentinel Butte
with a good bunch and was forced to
turn back on account of the river.
Auctioneer Holland sold 400 horses in
less than two hours, including Is single
sales, and still found plenty of time to
be sociable. AT private sale over 200
horses, including mixed punches of gel
dings, mares and young stuff were sold
and the total sales amounted to $4,000.
The date for the next sale has been
fixed for June % and 20 and Messrs.
Watson and Dow have a good bunch of
horses in their pastures already: There
will be more horses consigned at the
next sale than at any sale this year, and
the chances are that it will be the best
auction of the season.
