FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.
Trains are Delayed Several Hours by {
Collision on the 20" Road.


There was a wreck on the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad in
this city on Friday. Two freight
trains collided at the top of the south
hill near the pottery. One caboose
was telescoped, an engine was badly
demolished and several cars were
piled about the track. No one was
hurt, however. The accident was un-
doubtedly the result of carelessness on
the part Of some employe of the rail-
road company.
The switch-engine, drawing a train
Of coal cars, left Streator at the usual
hour. Friday morning. When the
train reached the hill just south OF
this city the train was stopped and
the trainmen proceed to run several
cars OF coal into the yards of the pot
terry and return with "empties. >"
While they were engaged in this work
the regular freight from StreatOr for
Aurora came along behind the first
train. 1t is claimed the engineer of
train No. did not see the first train
on the track until it was too late to
prevent a collision. This happened
shortly before 9 o'clock. The wreck

the afternoon and cleared away the
debris. The passenger train due here
at noon did not leave until l:20 in the
afternoon. The Illinois Valley and
Northern passenger train was taken
off that road, and came by way of
Streator to this city and stopped on
the south side Of the wreck. The
passengers and baggage were trans
ferred TO the Illinois Valley and
Northern train, which backed into
StreatOr.
At 3 O'Clock all trains were running
again on good time.

LA SALE 90. HUNT CLUB.
They are Fully Equipped with One Hun
dred BlOOded Hounds


dred BlOoded Hounds
The La Sale Co. Hunt Club is an
organization not generally known by
people who are wrapped up in books
and cares of business life, yet an or
ganization of considerable magnitude
in the sporting line, and possessed of
one hundred blOOded hounds. They
will hold their annual meeting next
April at the Supervisors room IN the
court house, at which time the place
OF encampment for the annual hunt
will be decided. The officers of the
company are:
VIM. X. Milligan, Pres, Ottawa;
IL. X. Parr, Vice Pres, Serena; S.
Grove, Sec, Utica: S. +. Parr, Treas,
Rutland; EX-Com., j. II. Parr, II. ii.
PoOler, II. McDermOtt, S. A. Millikin
and Frank Shaver; Stephen Ager,
Captain; Lieuts., LIST, w. Blackwell,
End, Geo. Millikin, 3rd, G. w. Parr.
At present there are only about 40
members. Each year, at their annual
hunt, they select favorable spot or
location, pitch their tents, and camp
out for week or two in the latter
part OF August, and take their chances
"betwixt" the fox, the prairie chicken,
the diminutive quail, and from these
to the finy tribe, comprising sun bass
or Is pound pickeral. At these stated
times the club has always extended
an invitation to their friends to visit
them and partake of their hospitality,
free of charge and lodging for a night
furnished, and the "menu" has al
ways been equal to that of the Clifton,
while speeches from the different
members Thrown in as side dishes)
has made these occasions
very enjoyable and long to be remem-
bered.
With regard to their blOoded hounds,
1t is only necessary to state that out
of the 100 they possess, it would be
difficult to obtain one of either indi-
vidual for less than $50. In fact, II.
III. PO0ler, of Serena, last week sold
two of the same breed to Missouri
party for $50 each, and in the last year
has realized over $3.50 in the sale of
these same blOOded hounds. The club
are looking forward another season,
to months sport that will 90 down
to future cliques of the kind as an
event without the hope Of rival.

Men in the factories are having the
grip in squads. A squad of half
dozen leaves work one day while
another squad returns. Yet manu-
facturers manage to keep going at full
capacity and are turning out splendid
work.
The organ factory is turning out
cottage organs at the rate of 300 per
month, and, while all of the Chicago
organ factories are closed, this factory
finds it difficult matter to supply the
demand. A new style top has been
is one OF the finest things brought out
this year. On account of short days
eight hours work is the rule, but it
will soon be increased to nine and ten.
The King & Hamilton Co. is now
working almost exclusively on corn
shelters, for which the demand re-
mains firm. They have experienced
splendid trade since September, and
have sold more extensively than last
year. The prospect for rushing
spring trade seems to be excellent.
Gay & Son have an abundance Of
orders and are moving out stock at a
rapid rate.
The Fireproof Construction Com
pany shows no change over last week.
More than one-third Of the men are
down with the grip, but the work
goes on just the same.
The glass factories have remained
about the same during the past two
weeks. The best money made at the
United Glass Company's works during
December was made by William Per-
kins, who drew 1912 for seventeen
days work. He had been blow
ing long cylinders. His gatherer
Charles Bryant, is said to be the
best man at the business in
the United States. Mr.. Perkins is a
six-footer, with tremendous lungs,
and weighs about $50 pounds and
works like a steam engine.
The Ottawa Fire Clay & Brick Com
pany and the Hess, CrOtty & Williams
Company are turning out good work
in large quantities.

An interesting case came un for ad

An interesting case came up for adj
Indication in Ottawa Monday. l.. A..
Rose sued for pay for an editorial
article ordered by the city council and
obtained judgment. He openly de-
clared his editorial expressions were
for sale as well as matter among local
items. All the other Ottawa editors
swore the editorial opinions of paper
were not negotiable article but were
or should be guarded sacredly against
any influences tending to bias the
mind or warp the opinions of the edi-
tor, who is supposed through those
columns to give his honest convictions
to the public. Some seven or eight
years ago case involving the same
point, but of much greater import
ance, was tried in California, and a
judge decided that an editor had as
much right as an attorney to make
arguments for pay. The decision in
Roses case conforms to this idea.
While the Free Press regards there is
no legal restrictions preventing an
editor from selling his opinions, yet
there is moral prohibition which no
conscientious editor can disregard. In
Roses case the article was for the pub
lie good, but it is the bad and the
vicious that most frequently would
use money were it an established
custom that one could get what he de-
sired in the editorial columns of a
newspaper If he could but pay for the
service. In this kind of journalism,
too, an editor loses his influence and
his individuality, and his mind that
should be bent to questions of living
importance becomes an intellectual
junkshop. An editor has no more
moral right to sell his opinions than
has the judge upon the bench. Public
opinion, in fact, is mightier than law
and he who influences that brings
upon himself greater responsibility
than devOlves upon the courts. An
editor should need no other reward
than the appreciation of the public
when justice and truth demand atten-
ton. Fraud and corruption should
not be condoned nor defended even for
consideration. Editorial opinions
are not generally merchantable COM
modify. There are commercial feat
lures to every neWspaper-the adver
tisementS and business nOtices-and
no paper could exist without them,
but the editorial columns are-usually
sacred to the thoughts and opinions
Of the editor wherein none may OBJ
trude or gain an entrance there

Monday morning at eight o'clock
there was an exciting runaway on
Columbus street. A team OF horses
drawing beer wagon were left stand
ing in front Of saloon near the Col
umbus street bridge. The driver had
not taken the precaution to tie the
horses. The keen cut OF the cold air
was inspiring enough to start them on
a run. Several men tried TO stop
their mad flight, but it was no use, as
they kept running at 2:l0 gait. They
turned west at the Reddick Library
and came in contact with the iron
fence of the public park. This stopped
them. The wagon was badly broken
but the horses escaped uninjured.

The Flint-Glass Works.

A reporter yesterday stepped into
the Flint-Glass Works and for thirty
minutes watched the force of boys,
some sixtyi in number, who are engaged
there in their various capacities in
attendance upon about forty men who
are manufacturing bottles. If you
ever had an idea that lone boy is a
boy, two boys half boy and three
boys no boy at all"yOu'll abandon that
idea in a second after going into this
factory and witnessing sixty boys,
whose ages will average about II
years, all engaged in their various de-
partments aiding in making bottles
from a two-Ounce to quart bottle.
No piece of machinery ever moved
with more regularity, or more willing
ness or to better purpose. Their
work is essential equally with the pro-
blower, and they go about it
with an air which seems to say, ''we're
bound to get there sooner or later"
and they will, too. They are develop
ing business habits-no chance for an
idle thought and all crazy for news
paper morning and evening; and all
look healthy and robust.
