1t is significant that. while England
apparently grows poorer, France is
very obviously growing richer. Every
foreign visitor, whether French or
American, speaks Of the misery to be

the spiritless creatures to be seen by
the hundred in the poorer districts.

The affair was one of the incest social

Mr.. and Mrs. Bolton. The guests
were formally received by Mrs. Chas.
C. Pike, Mrs. Charles Jolitz, Mrs. Chas.

The evening was passed with varie-
~ of entertainment, music, dancing
and other diversions. Luncheon was
served and the Elks' rooms were thor
oughly enjoyed by the company. Mr..
James A. Dewitt, a fellow worker
with Mr.. Bolton in the profes-
sion OF the law and in fraternal way
in the Elks' lodge, made a brief ad-

expression to sentiments held by in

Stricken With PARALYSIS.

Milton Davis, one of the oldest pio-
neers of Mahaska county a well
known citizen of Oskaloosa, prominent
Mason, and owner of a large farm in

stroke of paralysis which came upon
him about ten o'clock this morning.
He is nearly seventy years of age and
his condition is considered quite seri-

Annex Billiard ParloT at the southeast
corner of the square, about 10 O'Clock
and went to the wash room. He had

tention until he was found few min

evidence of the fact that he had fallen
suddenly and helplessly. His coat

and placed in an easy position on
some cushions until physician could
be summoned. He was probably un.

spoke few words later. AS soon as
possible the city ambulance was Sc
cured and he was removed to the
home of his brother, Chas. Davis, at
500 North A street, where he is now
lying unconscious. His condition is
very doubtful and friends are much

Mileage Not Proper Basis.
Mr.. Munroe also thought that mile
age was not the proper basis on which
to figure rates, but that the topogra-
phy of the country, cost of mainte-
nance, and water competition should
be taken into consideration.
He said that it would be highly de-
sirable If the different rates main
tanned on what is known as classes
and commodities could be abolished
and only one general rate established
which would bear fair and equitable
for all concerned.

RUMBLE OF THE RAILS
News Picked Up At Depot, Siding
and Round House.

The Rock Island road has added it's
name to the roll OF honor" of those
who have completed a year without
killing a passenger. Statistics show
ing the total number of passengers
carried during the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1909, have just been
complied and show that of the 49,
|743,022 persons handled on the trains
of THE Rock Island system, not one
was killed.
AS in the case of the four other
roads who have thus far announced a
clear record, the Rock Island officials
attribute the increasing safety OF
travel to additional block signals in
stallations, the watchfulness of their
employees and improvement in track
and appliances. The Rock Island has
installed 300 miles Of block signaling
during the last year and has spent
larger sums than usual for improve
ments.
Orders have recently been placed
for a large number of all-steel passen-
ger cars, which will serve as addi-
tional safeguards against accidents, as
they are practically indestructible and
totally fireproof. 1t is declared by
railroad men that statistics show the
majority of accidents nowadays are to
trespassers on their tracks.
To Curtail Stopovers.
1t is understood that the western
railroads will make an effort to re-
duce the number of cities at which
stopover privileges are accorded on
through tickets before the beginning
Of another summer. The object OF
the roads is to preserve the restric.
tions imposed by THE usual transit
limit on one way tickets and the re,
turn limit ON round trip tickets, or at
least to determine upon definite ba-
sis for granting stopover privileges.
During the lest summer the mum.
Der of stopover points has been great,
ly increased by granting the privilege
at scores OF the smaller cities
throughout the western states. Many
passenger officials feel that on ac-
count of the competition of rival
roads, the number has been increased
out of proportion to the size of the
cities. Amy action to reduce the mum,
Der may be opposed by some of the
roads on the grounds that it is a step
backward to withdraw a convenience
ITO the public after it once granted.

Electricians Added to Crew.

Complete electric lighting plants
are being installed on all through
trains run by the Burlington and in
addition to the usual crew, each of
these trains will carry an expert cleo
trdcian whose duties will be manifold.
'Ihe plant on all OF the trans thus
equipped is set up n - cad end o..
the baggage car and consists of a
highpower dynamo operated by steam
from the engine.
With such a plant the train is bril-
.iantTy lighted from the headlight to
the incandescent electTolier in the
dome of the rear vestfbule of the OBJ
servation car. In case the power
from the engine should fail in some
way, an auxiliary plant is provided
whereby the electricity is stored.
Hence even though the dynamo should
give out the train could he lighted
throughout by the stored electricity,
although the illumination would nee.
eSsarily be DINNER than that fur
nislhed by the dynamo itself.
Luxury alone is not the motive for
lighting trains by electricity. Rail-
road fatalities resulting from acct
dents are caused by the ignition Of
the gas in the reservoir tanks under
meath the cars. Almost without ex-
ception when the wreckage catches
fire, the blaze eats its way to the gas
tanks which explode and the whole
train is lost in sheet of flames.
All of the Burlington's through
trains between Kansas City and Oma-
ha will soon be thus equipped with
electric light plants and electricians.
