'Don't cheer boys,th poor fellows are
dying The price of wheat is more
than for many years. Flour is naturally
following wheat. Bread is selling in the
cities at cent higher per loaf or the
bakers are making the loaves so much
smaller. While the farmers of the north
west are rejoicing at the present and
and prospective high prices of their pro-
ducts, many poor people are actually
suffering. There are two sides to the
bread question, and just now the farmer
seems to have his bread buttered on
both sides.

S~trolIing with a friend last evening, as we
turned Doute's corner going north, we were
struck at the brllliancy Of a light at some
distance. We began to wonder if one of
our street lamps was responsible for the
almost electric display, and we were almost
oongratulating ourselves on its new life,
when we discovered that it was another
lump which was shedding its radiance 50
profusely.
Messrs. Robt. L. Merwin & co. have put
up a bracket lamp outside their store, SINH
lar to our street lamps, the burner, however,
being circular instead OF flat.
AS you, Mr.. Editor, belong to the Light
brigade it might be worth your while TO see
this lamp, as you contemplate lighting your
gay city.
L am not casting reflections on our lamps;
that their light is sometimes dull, aud pain
ful to the eyes, is owing to want Of proper
attention being paid to them.

That was q curious misunderstanding

new Danish Ministry had abolished all or
ders and titles and that uniforms and court
dress were not to be worn. Fortunately the
Copenhagen kilograms came to land the
next day, and we learned the true state of
the case. The Ministry had not lone any
thing of a sweeping character, but appear
simply to have asked permission for them

evident inference from the clause 'The

RIO GRANDE TRAIN
RUNS AWAY, JUMPS TRACK

Salt Lake, Utah. July 2s.-At the
moment that freight train No. 900
passed out of the safety switch at
Media, five miles west OF Soldier
Summit on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad early yesterday. the engineer
lost control through the failure of the
air breakes to operate properly and
the train OF seventeen cars, loaded
with coal, was carried down the
mountain for a distance of three
miles. finally crashing headlong over
curve and against the side of the
mountain.
Remaining at their posts of duty
until the last minute. the engineer
and fireman, as we'll as the brakeman
and conductor, saved themselves by
jumping as the train rolled over on
the curve. where the ride to destruc-
ton was extended. All the trainmen
sustained slight injuries and were re-
moved to a hospital upon their arrival
In this city.
All day long special crews battled
with the flames, which have prac-
tically consumed the immense cargo
Of coal and the pile of wreckage. but
their efforts have been unavailing.
Traffic on the main line was sus-
pended owing to obstruction. and
yesterday afternoon passengers were
transferred around the wreck.
