CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT.

ent of the Denver & Rio Grande
road, made vacant by the recent re-
tirement of A. p. Welby, has been
abolished, and Saturday Assistant
General Manager w. s. Martin as
sumed the duties of both these of
fices.
w S. Martin has been assistant
general manager of the ID. & r. G..
for nearly three years, and when A.
E. Welby resigned several months
ago to go with the Denver, Laramie
& Northwestern, in charge of con-
struction it was reported that prob
ably no successor to Welby would be
appointed, but that the assistant gem
eral manager would look after the
general superintendent's work.
The first day of his new duty was
strenuous one for Mr.. Martin. as
he was put in charge of receiving all
the details and information from the
disastrous wreck near Dotsero, and
of sending out all instructions from
this end of the line.
w. S. Martin is one of the most
popular officials with the ID. & r. G.
and regarded as one of the best rail-
road men in the West.

PHIL PETERS ESCAPE.

Almost as well known i'll
Grand junction as he is any
where in the state Phil Peters,
the Globe Express messenger
who had a miraculous escape
from death in the express car on
ill fated No. >, has IA great host
of friends here who are reioir-
ing over his escape. He got off
with II few minor bruises by
jumping from the car door as
the two trains crashed together.
Peters was standing in the car
door as the freight approached and
took in the situation a glance. AS
he saw the other train approaching
he made leap far out from the
train and was lucky enough to alight
on a pile of cinders, which broke the
impact of his fall.
This is only one of many wrecks
that Peters has experienced, having
figured in almost every wreck of any
consequence that has happened on
the Rio Grande for the last twenty
years, having been employed as eX-
press messenger for that length of
time.
He had marvellous escape from
death in the terrible Adobe disaster,
whore over 80 people met death. on
that occasion Peters, though suffer-
ing three broken ribs and being bad
ly bruised did his share of the rescue
work until relief train was sent
from Pueblo. He also escaped from
the Eden wreck, where so many peo-
pie lost their lives by drowning. and
was again Instrumental in helping
save the lives of what few survivors
escaped from that wreck
Peters has got so used to escaping
from these disasters that he says he
knows positively that when one hap
pens he will get out alive, or he
would have stopped working on the
road long ago. His wife says that
when the news of a wreck on her
husbands train comes to their home
at 3335 West Moncrieff place Den
yer, she does not worry about his
being killed. but as TO the extent of
his injuries and how long he is going
to be laid up with those injuries. She
says, that they have been figuring on
going out into the country on a ranch
to live, and it remains to be seen
whether Peters loses his nerve after
going through this last ordeal.

DATA ABOUT
THE F. & C.
Fifty-One Bridges On Sixty
Miles Of Rai1road-Heavy
Construction Work.

From the Franklin Evening Ne,cs we
clip the following facts and figures
given that paper by F. II. Walker
the engineer who was responsible for
the mechanical work on the Franklin
& Clearfield railroad
"The Franklin & Clearfield railroad
which has been under construction
during the past four years, extends
easterly from Franklin, Pa, for a dis
tance of sixty miles, to BrOOkville,
through Venango, Clarion and por-
tion of Jefferson counties This ter
ritory is In the Allegheny Mountain
region, and hence the construction is
very heavy and difficult. The greater
portion of the roadbed is graded double
track, aud over 100000 cubic yards
of grading have been required. There
are fifty-fve steel bridges, which re-
quired $1,000 tons of steel in their con-
struction. These bridges we're all built
of capacity about equal to Coopers
e 60 loading The construction work
required 1852, 1000 yards of concrete and
$4,000 yards Of stone masonry.
"The ninety-foot spans, of which
there are twenty.six, are very heavy,
each girder weighing about thirty
three tons. These girders were all
placed by the American Bridge Com
pany with thirty-Hve- ton derrick car.
The several large viaducts, the largest
of which is 200 feet long and 1876 feet
in greatest depth, we're also erected by
the Amerian Bridge Company. These
larger bridges are all double track
structures. The viaducts of no greater
depth than about fifty feet were erected
with the thirty-five-ton derrick car.
Those Of greater depth were erected
by this same derrick car. with the
assistance of two-boom traveller"

New Amendments
Lengthen Terms

aud State Treasurer will serve for four
years to put them on an equal footing
with the governor, lieutenant govern
or and secretary OF internal affairs.
The terms of all county officers will be
extended from three to four years. The
first ELECTION of county officers will be
held In November, 1911. Under the
provisions of the schedule, any county
officer whose term would expire on the
first Monday in January, 1911, will re-
ceive an extension of one year.
In the future all city, ward or town.
ship officers whose term of office is
three years, will be elected for four
years. Where the term is now one
year it will be extended to two years.
The legislature can change the length
of the term but the tenure must always
be for an even number of years.
All officers elected at the election In
February to an Office the regular term
of which is two years, and all election
officers and assessors chosen at that
time shall serve until the first Monday
in December, 1911. Their successors
will be e,ected at the municipal election
In November, 1911. All officers chosen
in February, 1910, to offices the term Of

bar, 1913. All justices of the peace,
magistrates and aldermen chosen at the
election in February, 1910, shall serve

ture otherwise provides, the terms OF
city, ward, borough and township and

HOOK WORMS CASE IN TOWN.
A Local Doctor Treated Case Success
fully and Bottled Some of
the Worms.

Laziness is not an uncommon or new
complaint, as every generation has had
certain percentage of lazy people,
but 1t has only been recently that the
public has been informed, through
newspapers and magazines, that this
lazy, indolent, sluggish feeling is
caused by tiny little worm which med
ical science calls a hook worm. Re-
Gently John d. Rockefeller contributed
81 900, 900 to treat people of the south.
land who are victims of the hook worm.
1t Is not'necessary to go out OF Reyn-
oldsville to find lazy people, which
would prove that the people of the
southland don't have monopoly on
the hook worm.
One Of our doctors got a case which
had the hook worm symptoms and he
treated the man for hook worms and
succeeded in removing hundreds OF the
tiny hook worms from his system.
Some OF the hookworms have been
preserved in alcohol. They are about
t inch long and about as large around
as No. 80 thread.

to hear OF his death although it has
not been unexpected for the past ten
days. He had been ailing for about
a year and for the past six weeks had
been confined to his bed almost con-
tinually, the trouble was complication
OF organic troubles.
"Lattimer Way was born June 26,

OF his death. He served as soldier
during the entire Civil War, being
a member OF Company B, 149th Regi-
ment, well known as the "Bucktails"
