A Disastrous Railroad Smash Up.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-One of the most dis astrous railroad smash ups that has occurred for many months took place Friday morning on the line of the Chicago and Alton road, by which a freight train was precipitated through the Kankakee bridge near Whining ton, some ffty-two miles south of this city. The fifth and sixth sections of train Mo- 32 were running so close to each other that as they approached the bridge the engine of the sixth section came up with the rear of the fifth section directly on the bridge and caused the structure to give way. The engines and twenty-five cars belonging to both trains were thrown into the river some thirty feet, where they now are in a semi demolished condition The damage to the bridge and rolling stock will not fall far short of $1OO, 900.

The Coming Thanksgiving.


 In looking forward to next Thursday, the day appointed by our Governor as day of thanksgiving and prayer, there are many who expect to meet near and dear friends around well spread boards, and reiterate the blessings of the past, and while this is so, and it is well that 1t is there are many poor families in city like ours that will have barely the necessities of life on that day, to say nothing about even competence of good things at their boards, or the meet ing of friends to cheer their hearts and make it indeed day of Thanksgiving. Last year many of our citizens responded to the call made by the Board of Associated Charities, AZ Court street, and sent in money and pro- visions enough to make hearts in over one hundred families feel thankful that some kind friend, although unknown to them. had remembered them in the day of their want, and perhaps distress. Could those who had bestowed the gifts seen the faces of those who received them, they would have been doubly repaid for any sacrifice they were willing to make for those more unfortunate than themselves Again this year the Board of Charities have long list of poor and yet deserving families, and if our generous citi- zens wish to respond by sending as early as possible this week to AZ Court street dona- tions of. money and provisions those in the office of the Board will endeavor to wisely distribute all such gifts.

HECK KER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
: A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal SS COur1ers
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recOm- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuiD than either the "ROyal' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by pr. Love were furnished by the government conn missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

ar Is ENFoECED.--Gov. st. John is in Indi-
ana, repeating his old story that the prohibition
law is enforced in Kansas; that at least il is en-
forced in Topeka and that crime has greatly
diminished. Taking his word for it that the
law is enforced in Topeka, it knocks the wind
out Of his favorite argument that liquor is the
principal cause Of crime. Never in the history
of Topeka have there been so many reports of
robberies, burglaries. swindles, rapes, and ont
RACES of all kinds. Every day and night seems
to be full of them. 1t was never half so bad, in
the times of liquor license. Is liquor selling the
only violation Of law that church members are
under obligations to enforce' Now, as they say
they have succeeded in enforcing the liquor law,
it would lie well for them to form leagues for
the enforcement of other laws, and try to relieve
the city of some of its many crimes.

JURIsDIcTIoS.-In reply to our inquiry in last
weeks issue, Hon. Thomas p. Fenlon, of Leav-
enworth, writes that jurisdiction Of Police
Judges in liquor cases is not given by the liquor
law, but that in the new law for the government
of cities of the first class, passed last winter,
Police Judges of such cities are given the same
Jurisdiction as Justices of the Peace, in cases of
misdemeanor nnder the State laws, in which the
fine does not exceed five hundred dollars, and
that here is where Uncle Chester Thomas juris-
diction comes in.
We have subsequently received several other
answers TO the conundrnm, but the above COW
ers the ground. We are content. We ask no
more.

THE JUBILEE-The great Bismarck Jubilee is
pronounced gigantic fraud. The man Leslie
cleared about $50, coo, and the people of Kansas
got duped, as usual Why will people take so
readily to every humbug that comes along' We
suggested, few weeks ago, that this would he
the probable outcome. Here n lot of singers lit
down upon the State, getting up music classes
at one dollar per head, these classes ranging
from 100 TO 500 in a tswn. Besides, they sold
books and music, and held concerts, the proceeds
of which they got. The few music lessons they
gave, were of no earthly benefit to the so-called
scholars. Then those scholars had the unheard-
of privilege of going to Bismarck at their own
expense, paying an admittance fee, and helping
to sing for the benefit of Leslie and his gang,
who took the money. And the singing was no
great shakes, after all, and the accommodations
were execrable. But the people of Kansas are
ready to bite at the next humbug They have
followed hnmbugs and frauds all their lives, and
it would not feel natural to make a change now.

These lists contain the names of the employees

II We notice that the Daily Commonwealth
has reduced its price to $500 ayear; six months,
800; three months, sl.50, when paidi in advance.
1t is the intention of the publishers TO let no

any means, one does, $500 per year will be col
lected. Newsdealeres are furnished with papers
at cents per copy, postage paid.
The Commonwealth has become indispensable
to the business men of this community. Its tel

much ahead of all other papers, would make the

did not make it a necessity to the general reader
The Weekly remains at the old price, LIS per
