OF Fate Awaiting Him at the
Crossing.

Though the Pennsylvania railroad
company and its agents are not held
responsible by Coroner Fierce for the
cling salesman, killed at the Twelfth
street crossing on July 10, the evil
dence shows that the location of the
cars was misleading and that the man
had not been warned of his danger, ex-
cepting the premonition which he had
before stepping between cars.
The crew on the switching engine
were signaled that the crossing was
closed, and in summing up their evil
dence Coroner Pierce declares that
the space between the two cars on the
crossing was not left open so that Pc
destrians might pass through, but the
cars were left standing with a four or
five feet gap between them through
accident
Just before Welch started to pass
through the gap, so the decedent told
Harvey Wilson, who accompanied him
in the ambulance to the hospital, that
the thought flashed through his mind
What a terrible place to meet death"
He disregarded his own mental warn
ing and was caught between the coup
lers OF the two cars as a result of the
switching crew sending a cut of cars
down this track which bumped into
the stationary cars. Switchman El-
mer Bennett did not see the man un-
til after the accident. Don Daily was
the only eye witness, he seeing the
man step between the care and the
cars bump together, crushing the trav-
cling salesman between them. Welch
died soon after the accident. He was
buried at Elsburg, Mo.

DAsHGs FROM CELL
And Jumps into Auto, but
Was Captured.

Just at Turnkey Wenger opened the
door of the woman's ward, at police
station at noon today, Charles Ladd,
delirium tremens patient, who was
taken off a Pennsylvania train yester-
day, dashed past Wenger and was
gone. He ran to Fifth street and then
to Fifth and Main street, where he
leaped into an automobile and grabbed
the steering wheel. He was taken i'm
mediately by Wenger and Patrolman
Vogelsong
Ladd's condition is puzzling the DO
lice. This morning he appeared to be
perfectly sane, but as the turnkey took
him from the ward, to headquarters
for a preliminary examination he said,
Just stay where you are. I'll be
back In minute" AS he said this he
turned to the empty cell, addressing
the statement to some imaginary per-
son. During the examination he ap-
peared D.rfectly well, but he was re-
turned to the cell for time He es-
capped as Wenger was preparing to
feed him.

CAMPF|ELO SEEKS To
PURCHASE R. {. v. PLANT
CLUB THE COMPANY
HOLDS OVER CITY

"All consumers taking water by
meter measurement and using less
than 1.200 gallons daily will be
charged $40 per month or $1,000
per annum.
This clause Is one of the most
important clauses in the present
contract with the Richmond City
Water Works and the one which
the company will probably hold ov-
er the City as club to get the
concessions it desires. 1t means
that every consumer who uses less
than s64.S0 must use water at the
flat rates. This clause has never
been enforced by the company. but
as it is in the present contract they
have the right to enforce it if they
see fit. 1t will effect all domestic
consumers and large part of the
commercial consumers. The mini
mum rate mentioned in the propos-
al of the Company undoubtedly
was made with this clause in view
as the minimum rates now asked
for are just little below what the
flat rates now are. 1t is under
stood that it is the advice of the
attorneys of the company, that this
one clause can be used as q lever
to get what they want from the
city. Whether this clause was in
serted in the present contract
through error or purposely by the
company is not known. but suffice
to say it is there and has to be
taken into consideration as a part
of the negotiations between the
city and the company. At the time
the present contract was adopted
very few meters were in use and
the meter clause was considered of
very little importance by the city.
At the present time over IS per
cent of the domestic consumers are
furnished water by meter.

their heads and make direful predic-
tions. They say. Friend Richmond will
have all kinds Of eye trouble and pre-
dict the old gentleman will have to
wear eye protectors.
Opticians all over the country are
kicking on oiled streets so the state
ments of the local eve specialists are
not unsupported. The opticians allege
that after street has been oiled and
drys thoroughly, then it is rained on
and drys again, fine Oil dust forms
and blows into the eyes of everyone
in the neighborhood. Z
This oil dust is held to be very in
furious to the eyes and in towns and

ported to be severe. affecting a very
large percent of the inhabitants Lo-
cal opticians say that already there

program of blockading and lombard

President Simon has maintained such
defiant attitude in the face of pro-

terms.
The policy of the state department
to prevent attacks upon these towns

Learning to rest properly Is just as
essential as learning how to work
properly and just as profitable In the

To sleep does not necessarily mean
to rest. Relaxation IS one OF the
surest ways OF resting. Change Of
scene. change Of thought, change Of
occupation, are all forms Of rest. The
worker In town or city should 20 into

the country girl should have the OK
