Elevator people at Duluth are charged
with some rather ugly practices Cheating
is bad enough, but outright stealing from
their farmer clients is the worst form of
sharp practice yet heard of. All together it

investigation the Minnesota Grain Grow.
ers' Association has sscertained that they
have lost in all about 279,oO0 bushels Of
wheat Although excuses are plenty the
farmers want to be paid for their wheat,
and they are right. Altogether too much
of such trickery is practiced upon them in
various ways. and It should be summarily
stopned.

James Whttcomb Riley.
Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under the shelterng sheds;
And school-face girl faces pale and sweet,
CLEAN from the shawls about their heads.
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above it all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt the rain, the raini....
The earth lies gaSping; and The eyes
Behind the streaming window panes
Smile at the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes. sharp echoes ring;
The cattle bawl and cow-bells cank;
And INTO the town comes galoping
The farmers horse with steaming flank
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And tlirts his plunes and folds his wings;
An under the catawba leaves
The caterpillar curls and cings.
The bumblebee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk
Within, the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange aud vague;
Without, beneath the rosh-bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

Criminal Carelessness.

Every once in a while the country ia
startled by terrible railroad accident, and
nearly always it is the result of criminal
carelessness. However perfect the road bed
and cars may be accidents of the most ap-
pallng character will continue to occur as
long as men who have no ssnss of RESPONSE
bilty are employed in positions which re-
quire the exercise Of the greatest care and
watchfulness and conscientious regard for
duty. And it is difficult to get men who
are wholly trustworthy. particularly for the
wages paid by railroad companies in the
lower grades of service.
The accident at Ravenna, O., an account
Of which was published in our dispatches
yesterday, was of the most horrible nature
Many men and women we're crushed to
death without a moments warming, and
| quite a number were burned past recogni-
ton. So great was the sufferings of some
that death was gladly welcomed.
And all this loss Of life and suffering was
caused by flagman, who was so indiffer-
ent to the responsibility that rested upon
him that he did not take the trouble to 90 a
sufficient distance to warn train that he
must have known was close at hand that
the track was not clear.
1t is impossible to understand how a man
could be 50 criminally careless Of the lives
entrusted to his keeping. There is alb
solutely no excuse for his conduct and there
is no known punishment that would be too
severe for the offense Of which he is guilty.
And the railroad company is not wholly
free from blame. The fagman it seems. was
the son of the conductor, and he evidently
assumed that II he did not do his duty he
would not be severely reprimanded by that
official. The company ought not to have
permitted the son Of a conductor to hold
sucn position.
Accidents due to the failure Of fiagmeu
to do their duty are not Of infrequent &C.
currence, particularly In cases where at night
fiagmen have to go back quite long dis
lance to warn an approaching train. There
is not enough care exercised in choosing men
for such a responsible duty.

Trainmen Change, Passengers ShouId Not

II suppose railroad companies don't realize
that when they transfer their conductors and

OF the Eie Ioad. But it is so. Men very
