A DeplOrable Accident.

1t is a truth incOntrOvertible that
in the midst of life we are in the
shadows of death, aud there is nc
reckoning what may occur in dav
This melancholy reflection is sug-
gested by the death of Elizabeth
Jack, which resulted yesterday
afternoon from injuries sustained
by having fallen accidentally from
"a horse she was exercising Oh the
block of her parents home on Fair
field avenue. How the fall occurred
Is not definitely stated, but she was
conveyed unconscious to Schum-
pert Memorial, wherev her soul
waited its flight to heaven.
How great is the grief Of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G.. w. Jack, may
be imagined, but who could de-
scribe?
OF lovable temperament and in
every sense lovable, Miss Elizabeth
Jack, aged II years, was not only
the idol Of her home, but she was
endeared to all who came within
the radiance of her presence.
In their grief overwhelming the
Caucasian would tender to the be-
reaved parents its fullest sympathy,
and while realizing that words are
OF little comfort, solace may be
drawn in the blissful reflection that
their dearly beloved daughter IS
with her God. -.....s-.

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 30.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb
ance to cross the continent Decem-
Der ; to !, warm wave 2 to 6, cool
wave 5 to 9. This disturbance will
inaugurate a long period of temper
atures that will average warmer
than usual and bring less rain and
snow than usual. Early in October
we advised that precipitation on
this continent would soon become
much less, that the rains would go
to South America and that in other
parts of the southern continent
drOuths would prevail.
Much less rain is now falling on
the continent while it has increased
in parts of South America and par
ticularly in the islands of the Car
ibbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
This indicates that we have good
basis for calculating precipitation.
We expect the principal precipila-
ton for the next four months to De
along the south Of the equator and
in the two large vicinities sur
rounding the Amazon valleys in
South America and the island New
Guinea and BOrneO in Oceanica. We
made during the past four months
a vast number of experiments based
on weather records and believe we
have largely improved our forecast
system. -.. .
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about Dec. !, cross Pa
citie slope by close of 8, great GEN.
traLyaileys 9 to II, eastern sections
IL. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about Dec. 7, great central
valleys 9, eastern sections H. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Dec. 10. great central valleys II, and
eastern sections IA.
Warmer than usual, not much
snow anywhere and less than usual
rain generally, describes the wealth
er features of this disturbance. and
these conditions are expected TO
continue till after the middle of De
cember.
The Christmas holidays are ex-
pected to have about average tenn
peratures but less than usual rain
or snow. Indications are favorable
to some snow north and rain south
just preceding Christmas with a
cold wave crossing the great CEN
trail valleys near Dec %, a day Ut
two earlier further west and as
much later in eastern sections. But
that cold wave is not expected to be
very severe and therefore we may
expect about. general average Of
conditions for Christmas
and the holidays.

about three miles from Shreveport
In the CaucaSianS issue of Thurs
DAY afternoon II was announced
that the three negroes who had as
sauItrd Deputy Sheriff }. A. Ed
wards on the 9th Of September of
this year as they broke from the
Jail at Benton. were imprisoned III
one cell in the Cuddo parish Jail in
Shreveport. 1t was stated that sew
eral days preceding the capture Of
Mood Burks by w. f. McDade, that
Jim Hurd had been arrested at Gra-
bow by Sheriff Curric of Arcadia,
and JimmersOn at Kemp, Okla, by \
constable.
Having loitrrcd about yellow Pin"
without having been recognized,
Burks was cmboldened to visit his
mother, whose home was on the
McDade place. He had intended to
eat his Thanksgiving dinner with
her. He had no apprehension of
danger. but ne was betrayed by th'
negro who had been cohabiling with
his mother.
On Thursday evening. after the
three negroes, in charge of two dep
ulies, had left the CaddO jail. spec
ulation was freely indulged by
number of citizens who reached the
conclusion that the decree of Judge
Lynch would be executed summar-
lily. The only surprise expressed
was over the published statement
that the lynching had occurred IN
the woods at BOdcaw on the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific rail-
way, y,
The two deputies with the three
negroes left on the Cotton Belt and
were overpowered at Brownlee by
the citizens in waiting. The execu-
tion was brief and all over in thirty
'~ -@~-7aS*''-s@s -.
Before the lynchers dispersed
three negroes were severely
whipped for having given aid to the
~ lx-nrhnH npInpnH
to leave the parish.
A typewritten warning was pinned ;.
TO the shirt of each of the men !
hanging: "This is the end and will
always be the end of any niger
who forgets his place and assaults
or attempts TO assault white people
in this part of the country"
Sheriff Edwards was on his way
to Baton Rouge with prisoners con-
signed to the pen when the lynch
ing occurred.
1t may be remarked that the
press is silent in its
comment over this lynching.
What good would an editorial
avail?
1t is the BOssier way of disposing
Of the negro who assaults or at
tempts to assault white people in
The parish.
In this case the crime was aggra-
waited because the victim is an Off
,ial, who when in the discharge OF
MS duty in feeding the prisoners
was everpowered, beaten into in
'ensibility and left for dead on the
lOOr of the Jail at Benton. II

Veterans Parade
With Military and
Other Ciuic Bodies

The parade was one of the most
successful in the history of Grand
Junction.
Charles W. Rumble was marshal
of the day. and led the procession
down the streets. He was followed
by the Grand Junction band dis
pensing martial music. Fourteen
members of this organization were in
the line of parade.
Company F, n. G. c., followed, led
by Captain R. V. Mills and Lieut..
|. II. Brayshaw. Owing to the ina
bility of several of the members of
the body to attend the parade in the
morning the organization failed to
show its full strength.
The local camp of Sons of Veterans
followed on foot, after which came
the fife and drum corps. The G. A.
r. post followed with a large turnout
Of the members. Among them was
j. II. Parrish, who wore the faded
blue uniform which he was issued
in 1861.
The school children, all in white
and carrying flags were an inspiring
sight. Practically The entire lower
grades of the school were represent
ed in this parade.
The ladies of the G. A. R., Wom-
ans Relief Corps, fire department
and citizens in carriages wound up
the procession.

SUGGESTS A
NAME
Systematic Manner of Numbering the
Principal Thoroughfares of VAL
ley Is Suggestion of Toastmas-
ter Ella at Club Luncheon.

Methods of beautifying the city,
suggestions toward changing the
name of the city to some more eu-
phonious title and a pertinent prop
1sition to number the principal high
ways of the valley were advanced at
the noon luncheon of the Fifty
Thousand club today.
Wendell P. Ella, who was toastmas-
ter of the occasion, made a general
boost address before calling upon
Elmer l.. Brock to deliver the first
speech of the hour. Mr. Brooks
talk was along the lines of city
Identification. He pointed out that
Denver's reputation in the east was
mostly because of the attractiveness
of the streets and public buildings
and that any city may become pop
ular tourist center by concentrating
more attention on the beautiful in
architecture and landscape garden
ing
1T is a long railway journey be-
tween Denver and Salt Lake City"
said Mr.. Brock. 'and people will be
glad TO stop off here if they know
that they will find city replete in
Sreenery with well-kept parks, beau
tiful homes and paved dTiyeways. We
ought to encourage all efforts in the
direction of city Identification"
Commissioner II. f Vorbeck de-
yiated from the usual booster address
and instead of referring TO the fruit
crop, the High Line and the freight
rate victory, he spoke of the necessi-
ty of a new name for Grand June
tion. There has never been a mu-
niCipality which has attained metro
politan proportions with such han
dicap as Junction as a title" said
Mr. Vorbeck Immediately our
eastern friends hear of this city they
cunjure up prospects of a dingy rail
way station where two jerk-water
railroads unite with no vestige of
metropolitan airs or ambitions | do
not think ii is yet too late to change
the name of Grand Junction to some
municipal cognomen which has not
such a baneful effect upon the minds
of prospective settlers and invest
ors. -
Toastmaster Ella heartily agreed
with Mr.. Vorbeck and the suggestion
was generally applauded.
. POSTMASTER Edwin Price made
splendid uplift speech, referring to
the splendid growth of the valley in
the years since his arrival here and
the brilliant prospect of the future.

tuberculosis Costs This Country a
Billion Dollars Each Year.-$15,-
100000 Is Spent Annually to
Fight Disease.-A Report.
Associated Press.


Washington, May 30.-Irving
Fisher, Phi. D., professor OF econom-
les at Yale University, read paper
from the topic, "A Revised Estimate
of the Economic Cost of Tuberculo-
sis,'' before the sociological section
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis here today.
The paper reviewed the statistics
of tuberculosis since 1908, when
Professor Fisher gave a report on
this subject before the International
Congress on tuberculosis. At that
time he showed that tuberculosis
costs the country more than $1,000
100000 a year, of which at least
S44O, 100000 and probably much
more were costs borne by others
than the victims of the disease.
These costs include the costs of
sickness and loss of earnings suffered
by the families whose wage-earners
are first crippled and then killed by
the disease. At the same congress
Professor Wilcox estimated that the
losses to society from tuberculosis
were $3.50, 100000, and Professor
Glover of the University of Michl-
gan showed that the losses from the
deaths of men workers alone were
$4,000, goo for every 500 of yearly
earnings.
All three of these Investigations OF
four years ago are now confirmed by
Professor Fishers estimate for 1872,
and they all substantially agree IN
the conclusion that the annual actual
monetary loss to society from tuber-
culosis. without counting the losses
to the victims of the disease them
selves, exceeds half a billion dollars
a year. The figure for this social
loss will reach at least s570,OOO,OOO.
If in the same way we calculate
the losses to the victims themselves,
including losses before death and the
capitalized earning power cut of by
death, we reach still larger sum,
making the total loss well above
billion year. These cold calcula-
tions take no account, of course, OF
the fact that a mans own life is
worth more to him than the earn
ings he expects to bring, and that
the loss of monetary support is not
the chief loss which widows and or
phans suffer from the death OF
loved husband and father.
Nor does the calculation take any
account of the impairment of work
ing efficiency in the years preceding
the breakdown from tuberculosis. Ac-

IS
DEAD
World Famous Conqueror of the Air
Loses in His Long Struggle With
Typhoid Fever.-Died at an
Early Hour This Morning.
Associated Press.

ASSbNldltu ltSS.
Dayton, O., May 30.-In sinking
spell that developed soon after mid
night Wilbur Wright, the noted avi-
stor, died at 3:15 o'clock this morn
ing of typhoid fever.
He had been near deaths door for
many days; and, although his condi-
ton from time to time gave some
hope. the attending physicians main
tained through the latter part of his
sickness that he could not recover.
Most alarming symptoms developed
shortly before noon yesterday, when
the patients fever suddenly mounted
from 104 to 100, and then quickly
subsidized to its former stage. At this
juncture the patient was attacked by
chills. The physicians were baffled
by this turn in the symptoms, chills
being unusual with so high a fever.
The condition of the aviator re-
mained unchanged throughout the
rest of the day, and there was no i'm
provement until last night. After
a slight Improvement then, there was
a changer for the worse, and DR..
Conklin was called.
The doctor arrived at 1925 and
learned that the patient had died 10
minutes before.
Mr.. Wright was attacked by ty-
phoid fever on May while on a
business trip to the east. He re-
turned from Boston on that day and
consulted with DR.. Conklin. He went
to bed Immediately, and it was sew
eral days before his case was dag
nosed.
Wilbur Wright was born in Henry
county, Ind, April 16, 1867. Or
vile. the sixth child, was born Au-
gust 10, 1881.
Wilbur and Orville attended the
local high school and stood high in
their studies. Hampered by heart
trouble, caused, it was thought, by
an accidental blow of polo stick
Wilbur was compelled to abandon the
thought of attending college. Their
father being away from home much
of the time, the two brothers helped
to maintain the home.
They first started a job printing
office. and for a time published a
small paper that had suburban cir
culation. Then they entered the hi
cycle business, and opened a repair
shop, at the same time manufactur-
ing bicycles.
In the meantime the two brothers
studied flying machines.
