Under a sensational picture of a worn'
an falling directly in front of an ap-
pioaching train the San Francisco Ex
aminer has tbe following about two
former Albany people :
Oakiand, Decern Der 31. The splin-
uirea, neglected condition of the nil. nf
i.he Southern Pacific tracks at the Ai
med mole almost cost the life of Mrs. j.
A. Gross last evening.
After stepping from the 5 :30Lna Gains
train at tbe mole, Mrs. Gross, who is
sixty-eight years of age, started across
the net-work of tracks to board the
local train lor Oakland. She was accom.
pained by ber busband.J. A. Gross, pro-
uiiBuirui His iHjpni nniei at Asliland.
Oregon. When nearina- the ticket ytn
Mrs. uross felt a sharp pain in her left
iu 1 ai me same instant he m
thrown to the grown between the tracks.
A splinter of steel, projecting from one of
the snlit rails, hud .ntm-H l,cr
snoe and tripped her.
mr. urroiB. WHO is seventv-five voura
of age, attempted to assist his wife to her
eet, out tailed to do so. He redoubled
tis efforts as he heard the rumble of the
incoming tram, then but a few hundred
yards away, and on the track on which
Mra. Gross was lying. He called loudly
for assiBtance.and several men who were
near the Oakland tracks, seeing the dan
ger of the woman and realizing that her
life would b crushed out if assistance
was not immediately rendered her,
ruBhed through the gates, despite the ob
jections of the ticket collctor, and
dragged the suffering woman off the
track. When Mrs. Gross was rescued,
the train was 100 feet from where she
bad been lying.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Gross were
almost prostrated through nervous
ness, but assistance by kindly disposed
passengers they were placed on the train
and then taken to the Albany hotel. Dr.
Mausy was summoned, and upon exam
ination found that Mrs. Gross bad sua-,
tained severe lacerations of the scalp, a '
badly spraineu and bruised ankle, con
tusions of the bins and knees, hrnioaa
about tbe breast and abdomen and prob
ably internal ininriaa I
ably internal injuries,
flir. tjross, in speaking of tbe affair to
day, said :
".Since the accident mi wife has been
confined to her bed. She euffe's severely
ana is auie 10 eat very little. The rurht
arm is so badly strained she is not able to
nse.it. X blame the sulinterea condition
of the rails for the accident. None of
the railroad people haveclled to learn
the extent of my wife's injuries-"

Question : What was the last day of

Answer : December 31st of the year 1.
Q : What was the last day of the first
decade"
A: December 31st of the year 10.
Q : What was the lust day of the first
century r
A : December Slat of the year 100.
U: What was (orwi'lbe) the last
day of the nineteenth century?
A : December slst ol the year 1900.
I respectfully submit the self-evident
proposition that each one of the above
answers must be correct or else each one
must be incorrect. If Oec Slst of the
year 1900 ia not the last day of the nine-
teentn century, then jUec. 31st ot the
year 100 could not have been the last
day of the tint century, and Dec. Slst of
the year 10 could not have been the last
day of the first decade, and Dec, 31st of
the year 1 could not have Deen the last
day of the Brat year. Respectfully,

everything demands a good price.-' We
asked if 40 cents was a good price for
wheat. "No, wheat is the only thing that
ia low. Port and beef and sheep are all
high." We then asked if be was nro-
ducing those articles which demanded a
uiga price, his reply was "No 1 raise
wheat and work out by days work."
And times are lota better when the only
thing a man has to sell must be pro.
duced for less than 25 cents a day. Well
