His Policy Outlined.


The following is from the New York
Tribune of Friday last:
H. G. Cross. one of the two receivers
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
way company recently appointed, was
in town yesterday. He said to a MEM
Der of the bondholders' committee,
with whom he was in consultation for
a long time, that in spite of rumorS to
the contrary, he should devote all his
energy to the protection of the mort
gage securities. The road would be OPP
Grated, he said. independent of the
Missouri Pacific, and, while ne recog-
nized the difficulties that would be en-
countered at this season by this change
in the cempany's policy, he was conf
dent that it's wisdom would be proved.
There are no negotiations pending be-
tween the company and the Missouri
Pacific. The suggestions for a compro-
mise have been so far apart that 10 set
tlement is possible. and the operation
of the road as an independent line is
the only recourse.

AT the Ministerial Alliance in Kan
sas City a diversity of opinins pre-
vailed. both as to whether enforcement
should be allowed, and if so, whether
the divorced should be permitted to
remarry. Whatever may be said or
thought of it, enforcement will contin-
ne as long as people think and live as
they do now. To say that they shall
not remarry maybe very good in
theory, but otherwise in practice. The
denial of the right amounts merely to
a premium on immortality, and that is
not good thing. Paul's suggestion
about wedding or enduring the sultry
consequences of abstentiOn from it, is
as applicable to divorced as to unmar-
ried people.

IN the case of Leona Bryan against
the Missouri Pacific railroad, the Mis-
souri, court of appeals has just rendered
very important decision. The
plaintiff, while riding from Sedalia to
Kansas City on free pass, received
injuries in railroad accident on
which she based suit for damages.
The court held that riding on free
pass did not affect the issue at all, and
that the company was as responsible to
her as though she had paid her pas

How pious and plaintive is the fol-
lowing by Marsh Murdoch of the Wich-
tia Eagle:
When Botkin meets the editor of the
Eagle in the great hereafter, in that
other and better world, where the pre-
siding elders don't take to the muddy
Vesture of politics, and where no decay
shall clog his vision, his first thought
will, no doubt, be: lis this the beauti-
full soul over which l so rent my shirt
in that other World?''

Mrs. Fox has dealt spiritualism a
sturdy blow, and exposed the base i'm

sistency with which it lives and
thrives, in spite of innumerable ex-
poSures.

A Severe Accident.

Monday afternoon j. r. Samuels

window on a farm house ten mile
south of here, slipped and slid off the
roof. He caught board to stop his

and the republican committee, by vir-

THE boys in New York have the
laugh on Chairman Quay. When he
said that he had $685. 900 to spend in de-
tecting and Furnishing illegal registra-
ton he hardly thought that any part of
that sum would have to be devoted as
a reward to democrats for detecting
republican frauds. But that is just
tive, Cornelius Leary, was shrewd
enough to arrest and convict one Cor
don for illegal registration, and Boss
Quay has to come down with 81 900, the
promised reward. While the joke is
on the chairman, it must be admitted
that the example brought before the
court ana the. sentence pronounced
will have salutary effect in prevent
ing fraudulent voting. Judge Cowing
was very severe on the culpr1t and his
language so biting and strong that we
think it proper to quote from it. He
said:

iShed severely. Our institutions de-
pend npon the purity of the ballot. but

says that the facts have filled him with
