Fourth of July Accidents
For 1911

The celebration of the Fourth of July
this year resulted in fifty-seven deaths
as the price of the national celebra-
tion, of which ten were caused by
tetanus and forty-seyen by fireworks.
OF these, twelve were burned to death,
most of them being girls and little
children, eleven died from gunshot
wounds, nine from explosions of pow
der and dynamite, two from giant fire.
crackers, five from explosions of can
non and eight from other forms of
fireworks. There were 1916 non-fatal
injuries making a total of killed and
injured for 1911 of 1903, These fig
ures, startling as they are, show a
gratifying reduction from previous
years. The Journal of the American
Medical Association, in a recent num-
ber, gives its ninth annual compilation
of deaths and injuries resulting from
the celebration of the Fourth of July,
from which report the above figures
are taken. This report also tabulates
the figures for the past nine years,
showing that since 1908 there have
been 1,719 deaths and 37,410 injured
as a result of Fourth of July accidents.
OF these, 1870 were completely blinded,
577 lost one eye each, 462 lost legs
arms or hands and 1924 lost one or
more fingers. The grand total for the
nine years shows that thirty-seven
regiments of American men, women
and children have been mutilated for
life and that nearly two regiments
have been killed. This is the price
that the American people have paid in
nine years for our present barbarous
methods of celebrating our national
Independence Day. Horrifying as the

Cattle received here this week 54,-
500 head, last week 1880, same week
last year 63 1900. Buyers have made
great efforts to depress prices this
week, but they have failed. Some low
grade steers in the native division
sold lower, and a few heavy finished
beef steers sold ten lower Thursday,
but otherwise it was a strong market
all week Quarantine cattle are clos
ing the week in fine shape, strong to-
day, although receipts in that division
run largely to common light steers. A
new high figure for the year was paid
for Missouri steers here Wednesday
$500, and short fed steers are selling
at $500 to 1925. Top for pasture cat
tie this week was $3.50, with fair
number Of steers of good weights at
$3.50 to $3.50. Killers value these
cattle more highly each week, account
of their fine killing percentages, and
also because of the prospects of scare

Feeding steers have been in good de
