BIG SYSTEM MADE SPLENDID RECORD

On Pennsylvania in 1908 and 1909, Only One Passenger Killed in Wreck. 370 PEOPLE WERE HURT NEARLY 300,000,000 PASSENCERS WERE CARRIED THOSE TWO YEARS ON 24,000 MILES OF THE SYSTEM. v Pittsburg, May 2.",. Figures Just compiled by the Pennsylvania railroad system show that In 1908 and 1JH it various lines carried a total of 2!K),7KI.iV passengers on Its 24, COO miles of track and only one. passenger was l:llled as a result of a train wreck. In other words, the chance of a passenger losing his life In an accident on, the Pennsylvania railroad system was one out of about yoo.uoo.OJio. In 100!) the number of passengers carried by the Pennsylvania railroad system was 1. "8,007,1 15. This was an Increase of 11 .."." per cent over the 141,. .",r43 carried In 1!MS. The number of passengers carried one mile on the Pennsylvania system In 1908 and 1909 was 7,170,r(W,517, so that for ..each mile traveled over the system the chance of being killed was one In more than seven billion. One Killed Last Year. One passenger was killed as a reeult of a train wreck in 1909, whilo none was killed in 1908. In the two years 370 passengers were Injured in train wrecks. There were two less passenger collisions and " 15 less freight collisions in 1909 than 1908, while the number of freight derailments was smaller by GO. This record of the Pennsylvania is all the more remarkable as its business is heavier than that of any other railroad of the country which necessarily means that it operates more trains than any other railroad and at the same time enjoys an accident record which has not been equaled by any of the lines operating the same mileage. The passenger trains on the Pennsylvania in, the past two years traveled 118,407J18 miles. In other words, if one train had gone this entire distance It would have made about 5,000 trips around the world, and with but one death resulting from a train accident. The freight trains operated" by the Pennsylvania system in the two years traveled approximately 123,000,000 miles. The Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg have carried 52,.r18,808 passengers in 190S and 1909; these passengers have traveled a total of oO,I507."rift miles and .not a single one was Villed in a train accident The Grand Rapids & Indiana railway has a record equally as good, as in the two years it carried fi.104.5K5 pasengers a distance of 2,900,870 miles and none was killed in a train accident. .The Cumberland valley railroad, smother subsidiary of the Pennsylvania, had a train mileage of 1,344,940 miles in 1908 and 1909, carrying 3,395,2W passengers. The number of passengers carried one mile was 01.492,707. This road enjoys distinction of having no passenger either killed or injured on ' account of train accidents, neither was an employe killed, and only one was injured In a wreck in these two years. Traffic Very Heavy. rasscnger traffic on the Long Island railroad is exceedingly heavy owing to its large commuter traffic out of New York City. This road carried 50,700,T97 passengers in 1908 and 1909 and no passenger or employe was killed in a train wreck. The Vandalla railroad operated its passenger trains 5,oi7,41o miles in 1908 and 1909. The number of passengers carried one mile was 213,720,072, and not one was killed in a train wreck. The Maryland, Delaware & Virginia railway, and the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic railway, two of the Pennsylvania's subsidiaries operating steamboats on the Chesapeake Bay and rail lines on the Delaware-Maryland Peninsula, in the two years hauled 819.9S7 passengers and not one was killed as a result of a train accident No employes have been killed in this way, ayd uu passengers have been injured. Only "one employe was Injured as a result of a train accident. Filial Lev. "Dear father," wrote a youngster of twelve. "we are all well and happy.

A WONDERFUL TENOR

Niels Hougaard Nielsen of Cincinnati, Will Sing at the May Festival. HE WAS BORN IN DENMARK NIEL8 HOUGAARD NIELSEN. Niels Hougaard Nielsen, a wonderful young tenor, will be one of the features of the May Musical Festival, tomorrow and Wednesday. Mr. Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His parents were excellent musicians and his sister a singer of unusual excellence. He, therefore, had the best of all training early" and intimate instruction in the home. In the army, later, (military service being required in Denmark) his education soon advanced him to the rank of lieutenant of the Body Guard at the Court of King Christian IX. This position left him ample time for his musical studies, and he soon gained much favorable recognition as a singer. Mr. Nielson came to America in 1904, and has since definitely chosen a musical career. Though his appearance as a concert and oratorio singer in this country is so recent, his wonderfully beautiful voice has already won him many laurels notably his engagement as one of the soloists at the Cincinnati May Festival of 1910 and an increasingly brilliant future is assured for him. WILL BE FEATURED Mrs. Gannon, a Remarkable Singer, Will Be a May Festival Attraction. HAS EXCEPTIONAL VOICE ROSE LUTIGER GANNON. Mrs. Rose Lutiger Gannon will be one of the soloists at the Richmond May Musical Festival. Mrs. Gannon comes to the Richmond Festival with a long series of successful appearances to her credit. She has sung with a great number of the most prominent choral societies of the United States and. Canada, has toured the country with several orchestras, and has been engaged for the last four consecutive seasons by the well and favorably known Apollo club of Chicago, as soloist, in their notable performances of great musical masterpieces. Such generous experience implies unusual qualifications. These, with. Mrs. Gannon, consist of an exceptionally beautiful voice, of solid and pure quality, excellently controlled, and subject to the bidding of a finely artistic and emotional temperament. Money. "After all, money amounts to rery little." "Tea. but in the meantime it amounts to a great deal." Puck.

. Minstrel at the Murray. Sun's Minstrels are the big attraction at the Murray this week and the fact that Tommy Connelly. Nick Hufford. Dell Chain, the Three Troubadours, Joe Simmons, Geo. Hughes and Chas Van make up the members of this troupe is sufficient guarantee that the music rendered will be of the best, that the comedy will be wholesome, and that only the classiest in minstrelsy will be heard at the Murray this week. In the Olio will be introduced excellent dancing and singing and sufficient variety to make the whole bill popular. In addition to this big feature the Baader-La Velio Trio and the motion pictures, a second run, will be added. This trio in a bit of automobiling present some spectacular and comical cycling. TEDDY FOOLS THEM Colonel Used Western Words That the Parisians Had Not Hard Of. TELLS A TYPICAL STORY Spokane, Wash., May 23. Mrs. Chafles E. Severance of Spokane, who is traveling in Europe, writes to relatives here that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt nonplussed all Faris by injecting a few western expressions into his notable address in the amphitheater of the Sarbonne. "And as a result," she adds, "men of state and affairs, society matrons and debutantes, club men, merchants, students add laborers have contracted the "cinch" habit. They also make frequent use of the word "shack" employed by the former president in telling a story of tho plains, which has for its climax this pregnant sentence: 'If you would steal for me, it's a cinch you will ste3l from me. Go to the shack and get your time!' Everywhere we heard whisperings of 'what is that "shack?" and 'what is tho "cinch?" Another sentence that is likely to become as famous as a Lincoln phrase is distinctively Rooseveltian: 'Every man must pull his own weight before he meddles with the ship of state. Every man's firstduty is toward his family. Every child that is brought into the world has a right to the support and protection of its father." Very Mercenary. The plans they have in the mint are nearly all money making schemes. Philadelphia Bulletin. SAVED BY A LUCKY CHANGE Popularity Covers Many States of the Union. Because newspapers throughout the country are publishing scores of testimonials from people whom Root Juice has cured or greatly benefited, there can be but little doubt regarding the unusual curative merits of the remedy. Newspapers all over the country are publishing news of many of the remarkable cures the discovery is making and there are but few localities that have not reported some great good from the use of Root Juice. From Bedford down in the southern part, of Indiana, the proprietor of the Owl Drug Store wrote the Root Juice people that Mrs. Sam White, of north I street, said: "I had quit taking medicine, dismissed my doctor and prepared to die, when I heard of the great discovery called Root Juice. I sent for some of it, and before I had finished taking the first bottle, I was able to sit up in bed. The doctor said I had cancer of the stomach. I don't know what is was, but Root Juice soon cured me, and I can't say enough in favor of it." Frank Brown of 912 East Fourteenth street, Bedford, Indina, said: "I had stomach trouble for years, and tried many doctors and medicines without much benefit, but after taking Root Juice a short while, was free from pain and annoyance, and could eat and sleep. I soon became strong and well and wouldn't take any sum for what the great medicine did for me." It seems that Root Juice benefits every one who takes It a short while. The tonic virtues of the medicine are amazing. It is also very soothing to the stomach, bowels and kidneys. The Luken & Co. drug store is perhaps .the best place to get Information regarding the remedy.

Bandit Has a Report on His Deeds Received Police Says It Is a Washington, D. C, May 23. "This is the longest criminal record I have ever seen," remarked Major Richard Sylvester, superintendent' of police and president of the International Association of Police Chiefs, exhibiting two typewritten pages received from Eugene Van Buskirk, superintendent of the National Bureau of Criminal Identification. The record was that of Harvey Logan, forty-five years old, of Dodson, Mo. Murders, train robberies and other crimes he Is blamed for, committed at various places throughout the United States. He is also believed to be one of a "hold-up" band working in South America. This man is wanted by the police authorities to serve sentences aggregating 130 years in the Ohio penitentiary. He escaped from jail at Knoxville. Tenn. Major Sylvester has taken a deep interest in the fugitive's case. He intends to try to bring him to justice. That he may be in Argentina or some other South American countrymay not save him from the Ohio penitentiary. Major Sylvester will invoke the aid of the state department to get him back here. While his right name seems to be Harvey Logan, he is known to police and criminals also as "Kid" Curry, Bob Nevilles, Tom James, Robert Nelson and R. T. Whelan. His criminal career includes seven murders and two suspected murders, any number of robberies and shooting scrapes. Christmas Day, 1894, the record states, he became known in the criminal world. Pike Landusky, of Landusky, Mont., was killed that day by him. In June, 1897, he helped rob a bank at Belle Fourche, S. D., under the name of Tom Jones. He was arrested and placed in jail at Deadwood, S. D., escaping the last of October of that year. Two years later he participated in the hold-up of a Union Pacific train at Wilcox, Wyo. Three days later Sheriff Hazen, of Converse county, Wyo., leading a posse in pursuit of the robbers, was shot to death at Tea Pot Creek, near Caspar, by Logan. Ten months later, in May, 1900, to avenge the death of a comrade in the band of train robbers, Logan killed John Tyler, sheriff of Grand county, Utah, and Sam Jenkins, who was an acting Deputy Sheriff. Three months later his record has him participating in the hold-up of a Union Pacific train at Tipton, Wyo. In July, 1901, he is said to have taken part in an exciting train robbery on the Great Northern Railroad, near Wagner, Mont. Explosives were used and 541,500 in incomplete bank notes was obtained as loot. James Winters, one of those who hunted July 26 for Logan, twentythree days after the robbery fell a victim of the bandit's revolver. After Winter's death the bad man, accompanied by a woman, left Montana for the South. In October of that year the woman was arrested at Nashville, Tenn., for attempting to pass some of the incompleted netes, proceeds of the train robbery. Logan managed to escape. The next heard from the bandit was the night of December 13, 1901. when he shot and dangerously wounded two policemen in Knoxville, Tenn. Six months later he was convicted of assault and sentenced to serve six months. in the city jail. In November, 1902. he was arrested in Knoxville and convicted of having attempted to pass some more unfinished bank notes. Sentences aggregating 130 years were imposed. As a number of them were to run concur

Terrible Record at Washington and Chief of Record Breaker. rently, he would have had to serve only twenty years. While in jail at Knoxville awaiting transportation to the Columbus, Ohio, penitentiary Logan escaped from prison. He was not again heard from for two years. Then he turned up in Argentine as the leader of a band of robbers. Logan is believed to be one of two men who killed two boys who were trailing him from St. Johns, Ariz., in the spring of 1906. The murder of the sheriff of Apache county, Ariz., while investigating the double murder, is also ascribed to the bandit. Five years prior to the Arizona murders Logan is said to have been present when his companions killed a man named Thornton, near Eden, Texas. "Since escaping from the jail at Knoxville," the report concludes. "Curry is suspected of being a member of the band of hold up robbers who operated in the Argentine Republic. This band would ride to the scene of the robbery on horses, leave their horses in charge of a member of the band, and hold up employes of banks during the business hours, conyjejling them to remain passive while they robbed the bank safes and vaults."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done my nerves a great deal of good and has also relieved the bearing down. 1 recommended it to some friends and two of them have been preatly benefited by it." Mrs. Mae McKnight, Oronogo, Mo. Another Grateful Woman. St. Louis, Mo. "I was bothered terribly with a female weakness and had backache, bearing down pains and Eains in lower parts. I began taking ,ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regularly and used the Sanative Wash and now I have no more troubles that way." Mrs. Al. IIerzoo, 6722 Prescott Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth millions to many suffering women.
