4 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Trusts
ave been scalping the consumer on
brices for years and have been boost
ing these prices under high tariffs
|ince 1897. The time has come for
Inc people to issue another declara-
Hon of independence. and l am happy
n being the medium OF showing The
FINES how II can be done. Four
hays refusal to eat meat by all the
people would cut the prices In every
beef trust branch in the country. My
method IL:
First: Do not eat articles priced
90 high.
\ Second: Do not wear clothes priced
90 high.
Third Use nothing that you con.
sider Is selling too high.
Fourth: Let the whole American
hation get together and all refrain on
he same day.
II 10 per cent Of the American people
should refuse to eat pork. for In
stance. the effect would be to lower
|&he price OF pork 10 per cent.
II 80 per cent Of the American peo-
ole refuse to eat beef. 1t will reduce
The price 80 per cent in a few days.
There Is not trust in America that
cannot be put out of business in a
few days II the American people re.
fuse to use its product One good
hump OF the big stick delivered
against one trust would force them all
TO disgorge on prices. II will brighten
them into Mysteries. and will shake
the thieying and concealed profits out
OF their swollen purses.

and form a local center Of our league

Harry LindeII, of WiAAiDes.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont, Jan. %.
1t is now believed between thirty
and forty persons were killed in yes
terday's wreck OF train No. on the
500 branch OF the Canadian Pacific
Oil the bridge crossing the Spanish
river, 3S miles from Sudbury, Ont.
The train records show that when
the train left Sudbury at noon there
were approximately 100 persons
',ahoard.
There are twenty-five injured being
cared for in Sudbury and a score Of
injured in this city and other nearby
towns. Only a few escaped injury or
death.
Many OF the injured will die and Il
is possible that the total death list
will reach close 70 fifty.
The exact number Of dead will not
be known for several days as divers
will have to thoroughly explore the
Spanish river into which three OF the
seven cars of the Inflated train
plunged. In the burned wreckage OF
the four other cars are the remains
OF many others.
The train was made up locomo-
tive. mail and baggage and express,
day and second-class coach, colonist
ear arst-class coach, diner and Pull
tmari..
The Spanish river bridge is an iron
structure and the heavy train struck
re on the down grade. while going at Il
high rate Of speed. AS the train was
crossing the bridge, the trucks OF the
second-class car jumped the track, pre-
sumably from a broken rail. The car
was cut In two against the bridge
so great was the momen-
stum Of the train. One-half OF this car,
with the coloplst car. first-class coach
and dining car were hurled into the
Spanish river, crashing through the
ice and were swept half across the
'stream.
The Pullman broke from the rest Of
the train and toppled down the bank
on its side.
II is left to the imagination to pic
ture whether those who were trapped
in the cars that plunged into the river
ard drowned without any chance Of
escape, suffered a worse fate than
those pinned In the wreckage OF tho
Nother forward cars, some OF whom
were incinerated in the flames that
broke out shortly after the cars went
down the embankment
Within a few minutes from the time
the three cars fell into the river bodies
began to float to the top. Submarine
divers sent from this city in special
train are now at work on the river
wreckage, but II is not yet stated how
many bodies they have recovered.
The entire bed OF the river will have
to be searched as some of the bodies
may have fioated a great distance.
II was several hours after the wreck
before efficient relief could be sent to
the scene and the sufferings of the
victims in the meantime was such as
to drive many of the uninjured almost
insane.
Physicians finally reached the scene
from this city. Sudbury, Espanola and
North Bay and a wrecking train from
the latter town was hurried to the
place with Superintendent Gutelius
aboard.

Junn Fever.

In a party of locomotive engineers
 who were talking about old time fel- low craftsmen reference was made to one old timer who had come to his death through jump fever" Whats jump fever'?" inquired an outsider who was interested in the conversa- tion. Jump fever" explained an en- gineer, ''is a sort of hallucination that affects some engineers and leads them to leap from the cab to escape a sup posed impending collision. It's mostly freight engineers that are affected. On long runs out west freight engineer may be thirty-six hours at the throttle without much chance for rest owing to mishaps. He gets sleepy and dozes in the cab. All of sudden he wakes up, but his faculties are scattered, and what with lightness of the head and the motion of the cab he gets an idea that collision is about to happen. In a semiconscious state he dives out of his window, and the chances are he's a goner when he lands. The engineer we referred to had done the trick twice, but he was killed the third time out an the Santa Fe Road. ."-Philadel- phia Record.

TORTURE BY ELECTRICITY.
Harbarous InquisftoriaI Methods of
 Amerfca's Police.

Electricity is becoming more and more popular with the administrators or the third degree" Hugo c. Vein says in The World of To-Day. The tavorite method of it's application is called, in prison slang, the humming bird The prisoner is stripped and bound. Sometimes he is gagged, also
 for he is very apt to scream and shriek. The electric current is turned into sponge soaked with water so that none of its strength will be lost A long handle is attached, and the operator, with rubber gloves, approach es the victim, who generally is depos- ited in shallow tank or tub. The sponge Is applied gently to the mans legs and then pressed slowly upward over his limbs. Perhaps the current is not particularly strong and he only clenches his hands and bites his lips The pressure is gradually increased as the sponge continues it's way up and down the unprotected legs and thighs. A low, buzzing, singing noise emanates from it like the sound of a humming- bird. This is the 'whirring of the juice" and is the reason for the some what striking name which has been applied to the apparatus. The pris- oner's limbs are now doubled up in great, frenZied knots, and his veins are swollen to double their normal size as he tries in vain to tear himself from its bonds. And still the sponge continues its path over his body.
 It has now become a coal of fire.
 You will observe that this method of the third degree" is somewhat un- wieldy. Perhaps this is why it is not used more extensively through the You will find on investigation, however, that it is fairly common.

Work of the Earthunrm.

When we behold a wide, turf GOV. cred expanse we should remember that its smoothness, on which so much of Its beauty depends, is mainly due to all the inequalities having been slowly leveled by worms. It is a marvellous reflection that the whole of the super fcial mold over any such expanse has passed and will pass again every few years through the bodies of worms. The blow is one of the most ancient and most valuable of mans inven- tions, but long before he existed the land was, in fact, regularly plowed by earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world as have these lowly organized creatures. Some other animals, however, still more lowly organized-namely, corals have done far more conspicuous work in having constructed innum- erable reefs and islands in the great oceans, but these are almost confined to the. tropical zones.

InhalinE Water.

Undoubtedly the majority of bathers who are drowned meet their deaths from cramp. Cramp is liable to seize anybody at any moment, and when it comes in deep water few swimmers have sufficient presence of mind to turn on their backs and wait quietly until the attack has departed So they gc under. But there is another danger quite as imminent as cramp, though it is probably less known. This is wa ter inhaling. A swimmer or even wader is always liable to inhale spray through his nostrils, which, passing through the pharynx and behind the epiglottis or windpipe guard, gets into the windpipe and causes death. As one would expect, water inhaling is almost wholly confined to the sea and very rarely occurs in fresh water. All the same, it may happen anywhere.

The verses were never intended for repro duction or for preservation, but sim ply scribbled off as fast as might be to oblige friend whose work I ad- mired." MT.

Hct,reen TWO Fires.

Lincoln stories" are common, and the tellers of them are not as accu- rate in, ascertaining their genuineness as they are prolific in producing them. The following tale comes from writer in the Chicago Journal. and may or may not be a real Lincoln" It is, in any event. a good story:
 Two farm-hands, Lincoln used to say, were set upon by a huge bull while crossing a rocky field. One managed to gain a tree. The other took refuge in hole in the tree that proved to have an exit in the rear.
 The man who had chosen the hole was no sooner in at one end than he was out at the other. With a below, the bull made for him. He turned and again shot like lightning through the hole. The bull once more bore down upon him, and once more he was in and out of his hole
 This strange pursuit kept up for some minutes. At first it mystified the farmland up in the tree. Then 1t angered him.
 Hey" he shouted, you idiot! Why don't you stay in the hole?"
 The bull was dashing from one end of the hole to the other at great speed, and the man was bobbing in and out desperately He heard, however, his comrades shout, and found time be- fore his next brief disappearance to shout back:
 Idiot yourself! There's bear in the hole!"
