R The toral number of deaths from homicide, as reported for 1909, was 2,854, a decrease of 149 from the number compiled for 1908. Not all deaths from homicide are specified, so that the total number that actu- ally occurred would be in excess of that compiled. Among the causes of accidental deaths, 1n the order of numerical im- portance for the year 1909, were the following: Railroad accidents and injuries, 6,659; drowning, 4,558; burns and scalds, 3,992; injuries at birth, hereafter to be classified un- der diseases of early infancy, 3,508; 1njuries by horses and vehicles, 2,152, not including injuries by street cars, 1,723, and automobile accidents and injuries, 632; injuries in mines and i quarries, 1,997; inhalation of poison- ous gases, including conflagration, | 1,837; other accidental poisoning. 1,779; accidental gunshot wounds, 944; heat and sunstroke, 816; cold 'and freezing, 251; lightning, 150. There were 1,174 fatal injuries by machinery, chiefly in factories, but the large number, 10,108, of acci- |dental traumatisms of unspecified nature makes it necessary to con- sider many of the figures given above as only minimal, and it is important that the means of injury be specified in all returns of death from acci- dental violence. The slight numerical increase in the deaths, 8,402, from suicide regis- tered for 1909 over the number 8,332, for 1908 is less than the rela- tive increase of the estimated popula- tion of the registration area, so that the death rate decreased from 18.5 to 17.2 per 100,000 population. most common means of suicide for the year was poison, 2,464, followed by firearms, 2,395; hanging, 1,215; asphyxia, chiefly by illuminating gas, 989; cutting instruments, 536; drown- ing, 507; jumping from high places, 156; crushing, 84; and other or un- specified means, 58. MR. GRAY MAKES THEM BLUE. Mr. Gray’s keynote address at Fergus Falls must be about as com- forting to the democrats as a nice fat slice of fat pork would be to a seasick dyspeptic in the middle of the Atlantic ocean on a stormy day.

When he agreed to make Candidate Gray should pledge the democratic party to county option in a town having the kind of state institution such as is in operation at Fergus Falls, The Pioneer Press runs a story ot aeroplane ftights over the sky- scrapers of Chicago under the heading ‘‘sports.” Well, a man does have to be quite a sport to go kiting around Chicago, either above or below. TRAGEDIES OF A YEAR. External causes, other than sui- cide, were responsible for 47,132 of the deaths reported for the census registration area for 1909, it is stated in the Census Bureau’s annual bulle- tin on mortality statistics for..1909, now in préss.

There is no justifiable excuse for any republican voting for Mr. Gray. The republican platform stands on the broad principle of a square deal toall. That takes in the county optionists and if the legislature passes such a bill it is a well known fact that Governor Eberhart will sign it. Mr. Gray could do no more. As for the other issues enumerated by Mr. Gray in his Fergus Falls ad- dress, republicans will search in vain for any plank of a desirable nature not coutained in their own platform.

BELTRAMI'S BIG FISH. The fish exhibit brought in by H. V. Cirry to the Baudette Fair last week was a dandy and opened the eyes of the visitors to the possibilities of the Lake of the: Woods in this line. Harry had three sturgeon in the exhibit, the biggest weighing over 160 lbs. and the others ranging around 100 lbs. The display of white pike and pickerel was also ex- cellent. This has been one of the very best seasons for Mr. Curry since he started in the fishing business. Dur- ing the month of August he shipped fifteen thousand lbs. of sturgeon, aloue, and was equally as successful with the other lines, and handreds of the finny tribe have been sent by him to the Chicago market. Harry’s many friends are glad to learn’of his success.—Rainy River Regior} BEHOLD A MAN! Again The Tribune is moved to remark that the Democratic party has brought forth a man, if it knows how to use him. Nothing so vital as Gaynor has grown out of its weedy soil since it crucified Grover Cleve- land for being wiser than itself. The phrase “human document” leaps to every tongue on reading that moving private letter to his sister, too clear an expressiop of a] man on whom American hopes are hastening to center toremain private. It visualizes bim as distinctly as the deliberate .public utterance of his opinion of Hearst. It flames with the higher truith of sincerity, like that, whether humanly accurate or not. It discowers a strong man come from faciag his Maker unafraid, to take up again his work in the world in tte new light of that tremendous expeiience. brush of human action that for a year have been marking him out as fit for high places. ! We do not know what use his party will make 'of Gaymor. It wants to shuffle him from ofice to office to get jobs for littler men. But we can imagine circumstarces in which the country would saye the Democracy all thought or trouble by taking him off its hands.—~Min- neapolis Tribune. i Snails Are Queer Creaturys, The snail is found everywhem, over 8,000 species being known.
