1t has not escaped the notice of the pub
tic that the trial OF Puflenberger, the en-.
glneer Of the coal train which callided with
the passenger train on the Chicago x Al
ton Railr nd, with such fatal results, was
IN one sense trial of the Railroad Compa-
ny itself. II Pufenbercer was guilty of
nanslaughter, the Company was not guil-
~. The iury seem to have understood the
moral AMI legal bearings of the case pretty
well, for they brought in q verdict. not
only acqulttlng Putfenberger. but adding
We severely censure the Chicago Il Al
ton Railway Company for employing in
competent men in connection with the bus

quently returned with an amended verdict.

After the verdict was signed and deliv-
cred in court, one jurynan. man named
Ridley, who had signed it, objected to the
eensure Of the railroad and the Jury was
sent out with the result stated above.
Who tempered with that jury in the inter
est of the railroad? The public wants to
know how and why the railroad escapes
censure and the engineer is acquitted too.

1t Is worthy Of notice that the c1lorcd
people residing in Rock Island are gener
ally industrious, prudent, economical, tenn
perate and orderly, doing their duty, in
their humble way, as good and peacabIe

ways. They now need little money to
aid them in getting peice of ground for

Short Grops in Eurons

The demand for our surplus crops was
never so pressing in Europe as now. AS
the winter approaches the foreign market
for American br3adstuffs must improve.
because the best grain growing regions of
the Old World have had short crops this
year. An active market must, in the ma
ture Of things, bring about good prices. es-
pecially in articles of prime necessity. and
American producers cannot fail to be prof.
tied by Europe's needs for food.
