ploy of the B. & M. He wants to get near
home or to his South Dakota interests, where
= he is half owner Of large ranch. Our people
regret to see Tim leave this run but wish him

railroads to come to any agreement about
worlds fair rates. They will make an effort
to maintain them at reasonable figure, but
the withdrawal of the Santa Fe from the asso-
citation and the friction which has attended
the long drawn out meeting of the passenger
agents at Chicago indicate that widespread
. Generalization will overtake the schedules be-
fore the fair is month old. The only way to
prevent general scramble is to make rates
SO reasonable that everybody will want to
travel. If this is done all the railroads will
have alIthe passengers they can accommodate
for the entire period of six months, and there
will be no incentive for underbinding COM
petitors for business.
b Last Friday the incoming passenger tram
on this branch 1un over team and wagon at
crossing five miles west of Norcatur. The
team belonged to Peter Brunk, of Altory town
ship. His son Henry was driving the team at
the time of the accident. How the driver
came to venture on the track is to us mystery
for train at this point coming from the east
is visible for long distance Whether the
engineer whistled or not it seems that an ap-
preaching train could not be overlooked COM
ing from that direction. The engine struck
the rig just between the horse and the wagon;
threw the driver into the air and away from
danger, but dragged the horses and wagon
about 200 yards before it could be stopped.
Both horses were terribly mangled and were
. killed at once, and the wagon was complete
and total wreck. The driver escaped without
injury. The loss was considerable to Mr..
Brunk, as the team was good one and the
o harness and wagon almost new.-Oberlin
: Opinion.
