Whether wise or unwlse, we suppose rall-
road authorities have purpose in withhold
ing the details Of accidents They know
their own business and have rules and regu-
lations for the guidance of their employees
The Vast Virginia Democrat notes the kill
ling ola man at Summit Point by the cars,
and right away condemns the train men for
suppressiug the details-ior not telling the
editor all about it and at the same time re-
fleets upon a passenger that did by charac-
terizing him as loquacious." But it goes
beyond that 1t would punish the railroad
company for criminahty in not employing
train officials who are gifted as mind-readers.
Il says:
We should think if a train official per-
mittcd n passenger to jump from train
while I'm motion. when he knew the rate OF
speed was too fast for him to do so safely,
then the company being responsible for ITS
agent actions, are responsible for any acci-
dent which may occur theTetrom, and ought
tosufcr accordingly"
I,would be a little tough to require rail
roader to know what a fellow that hadn't
sense enough to wait for a train to slow up
before bejumpcd was thinking about.
But the alleged railroad victim is not dead
and didn't sc, hurt jumping off! He simply
fcndown whiltrunning TO catch a train and
jump on, and sustained a slight abrasion OF
the skin of his nose. Besides, he attaches
noblameto the railroad officials as they kind
lv stopped the train to take him aboard.

A Senseless Criticism.

Again the republican party organ
has turned another screw in it's own
coffin and assisted in confirming the
popular belief, that the said organ has
cut loose from all decency and attempt
at fair dealing in the present campaign
by publishing last week an article on
the German celebration held near
Great Bend on the 9Th inst. Its editor
was told plainly and courteously that
the gathering was in no wise political;
that it was for the sole purpose of
celebrating the 2O6th anniversary of
the landing of Germans on American
soil. But with the political stupidity
and ungovernable penchant for mis-
matters he knows nothing
about the editor of the Register asserts
that the gathering was one of ''demo-
cratic campaign manipulators" and its
purpose was political one. He pre-
faces the heft of his article with an
attempt to show his love t?) and re-
spect (?) for the Germans and all they
have done for this country; but his
honied words have ere this stuck in

City Teachers Meeting.

The first monthly meeting of the city
teachers was held in Prof. Recess Office
Friday afternoon, Oct. 4th.
Miss Rearick brought number of
her pupils from the G Grammar and
gave a practical illustration of her
method of giving language lesson.
She took for her subject, 1.-THE Ele-
phant,'' the pupils showing perfect
familiarity with the parts, habits, and
uses of the animal. The illustration
was quite interesting.
Miss Reynolds presented her ideas
on teaching writing, illustrating her
method by an analysis and practice of
the letter M She, with the majority
of the teachers, is an advocate of the
liberal use of practice paper.
Miss Cobun talked about the use of
the school room; while she would not
limit it to a place of study, she would
insist on quiet at all times and would
make it attractive through the use of
flowers, pictures, notices, etc.
Elements of Discipline was the SUBJ
ject of an interesting paper by Miss
Glenn. 1t contained many excellent
suggestions and few novel ones that
provoked a few minutes spirited
discussion.
After reading the program for the
next meeting, Oct. 18th, Prof. Reece
adjourned the meeting.

Pictorial "Enoch Arden"

The specialties which Mr.. Newton
Beers proposes to introduce in his
forthcoming musical and dramatic re-
vival of "Enoch Arden" will be MAIN
ly confined to the fourth act, one scene
of which will be faithful reproduc-
ton of Cornish fair scene of the
olden time. with the sports and pas
times of the peasantry of the period
The scene is laid in a moonlit dell,
painted by that master of color con-
trasts and scenic effects, Mr.. Henry E.
Hoyt, of the Metropolitan Opera House
and Casino, of New York. The revels
Of the country folk take pace during
the harvest moon," according to the
old English custom, when the wealth
of the soil has been garnered and the
peasants are free to give themselves up
to outdoor sports and amusements.
They joyfully assemble to the simple
but quaint ballad music of the epoch.
They gather in front of colossal head
OF the particular divinity of the local
ity, the great Magog, painted also by
Mr.. Hoyt. These specialties are intro
duced to relieve the more sombre ele-
ments of the play. The fifteen stage
pictures and thirty-five episodes by
Henry Hoyt will tax the capacity of
the Grand Opera stage, but the car
penters and machinists are at work
and will make this the greatest scenic
production of any kind ever given in
the city. Newton Beers viii appear in
Great Bend on the evening of Nov. I'd.

seats.

The facts in the case are, that most
leading Democrats, and the demo-

Many of the German republicans OF

SOME of the silly stories circulated
by one of the republican candidates who
is putting in all his time travelling over
the county and trying to win votes for
himself by traducing his opponent are
already proving boomerang. Honest
farmers are saying that the man who
attempts to ingratiate himself into the
good grace of the people by traducing
his opponent who has been tried and
found all right would not be good
man to trust with county Office. And
