to pass the bill over the veto. There
is DO doubt but that two-thirds of the
House desire that the bill as passed
should stand but this is no assurance
that tWo-t thirds of the votes will be
cast that way. The fact is that al
ready there are signs of weakening
because of the fear OF members to an
tagonize the President in this matter
as they recognize that to do so
would "'get them in bad" with their
constituents at home. They also are
beginning to understand that the
organized labor of the country is in
earnest in its opposition to the bill in
its present form. Some of the great
est scandals in the history of the
government were at the time that
government printing was done by pri-
vate contract. The printing of the
census is one Of the largest pieces of
work done in the government print
cry. To permit it to be done outside,
it is regarded will surely results in a
scandal.

Brave Men and Women.

There were some brave men and
women on the train. Mr.. Hecox says,
and he saw number of people WHO
though badly and painfully injured
declined to complain and who waited
patiently for relief. Though the
wreck took place at O'Clock it was
not until O'Clock that relief was
afforded Among the passengers,
fortunately, were doctor and a
trained nurse, and these two, with
the assistance of others did all they
could to relieve suffering until those
who had gone two miles away to sum-
mon help returned with it. The rail-
road company ordered all those who
were badly hurt back to Cheyenne
aud Mr.. Hecox says they were carried
back at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
There Was No Fire
The weather was cold and raw
wind was blowing, Mr.. Hecox says
when he went in and out among the
coaches to assist in removing the in
jured Fortunately no fire broke out
Had there been such, he says, owe
half the injured must have been
burned to death where they lay.
He had often wondered. he writes,
what it would be like in train
wreck. He has now endured the
reality and IL is his prayer that he
never be called upon again to encount-
er like conditions. The heartrending
cries for help, he says, he cannot for
get and they constantly ring in his
ears'--The Yakima Daily Republican

But one car was really unhurt. 1t
remained partially on the rails. The
section men, he says, had drawn the
spikes and lifted the outside rail on a
curve for a strip of 40 feet. There
was drop of seven feet from the rails
to the ground below and over this the
cars went
The car in which he and his mother
were riding, Mr.. Hecox writes, was
smashed into kindling wood, SO far as

by the wreck Mr.. HecoX looked about
for his mother He could not see her
anywhere. All about he could hear

found his mothers feet sticking out.
He tore away the rubbish and found
her with her head hanging down
through hole. She was covered
with blood and her shoulder and her
head were cut. Just how severe her
injuries are f. r. Hecox was unable to
say at the time of writing.
A girl of is years, Mr.. Hecox writes,

mother was badly hurt. The walls of
anguish of the mother, the letter says,
were something awful.

JACKSON.
Not a Pie Dispenser.

Gov. Noel has recently been bothered
with communications from men who are
anxious to serve the United States gov
ernment in some capacity or other in the
State of Mississippi, and some with no
objections to going abroad, who have in
some way conceived the idea that the
governor is in close touch with the head
of the national government, and that
President Taft has asked his advice as to
the distribution of patronage. Being
queried as to this matter, Gov. Noel very
positively and unequivocally pleaded not
guilty. "The report is without the
slightest foundation, and its publication
in New Orleans paper was the first in
timation that l had had in regard to the
matter. Not word or line, either di-
rect or indirect, has passed between Presi-
dent Taft and myself in regard to any
matter of this kind, and what is more, l
have no aspirations to shine in such ca
pacity, and do not expect to figure in any
way with the policy of the present ad-
ministration in regard to the dispensing
of patronage"

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
BY Learning the Cause.

Do you know what Is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen.
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead. 40 $50 sEtee -
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con.
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing book of color schemes, specif.
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials, with
directions for using it, can be had
free by writing National Lead Com.

the result of the first round in the +. l.
Williams litigation and the overruling OF
the demurrer to the bill of injunction
set up by counsel for the defendant. 1t
may be several months before the case
gets before the supreme court, as it is
anticipated that the defendants below
will not rush the matter of appeal in Or
der to get it before the court during the
current term, but once in the supreme
court, the revenue agent feels satisfied OF
an affirmance of Chancellor Denton's de-
cree overruling the demurrer. 1t will
mean something like $4,000 or $14, ,OOC
recovered to the State, according to the
figures compiled in the revenue office.
