Conductor Graves Blanleless,

1t will please the many friends OF
NJ. Graves, conductor on the
freight train that was wrecked near
Watab last Tuesday, to know tina t
the accident was not through his
fault. Graves was a resident of Lit
tie Falls for several years, being in
the employ of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and has been with them
for about twelve years. The Mime
apolis Journal says: Conductor
Graves, of the freight train which
figured in the collision yesterday
near Watab, on the Northern Pacific
was in the city this morning and
was somewhat troubled over the
act that the responsibility for the
wreck had been laid wholly at his
door. AS a matter Of fact, lie ex.
planned that he had received orders
understood them perfectly. The en-.
gineer. however, misread the order
and understood the place named fol
holding the train to be Rice's Station
about eight miles further on. AS
soon as Conductor Graves notices
that Watab had been passed, he
states that he had all the hand brak
es set but was unable to stop the
train because there was a heavy
down grade and, there being two
awkward carloads of machinery in
tervening, it is impossible to reach
either the engineer or the air brakes
This account OF the affair, given by
Mr.. Graves and corroborated by his
hrakemen, scenes to make the en-
gineer the responsible party.

Corn Is Our National ElONer

We have not said it POLITICALLY, but we
have insisted over and again in honest,
matter of fact prose without any frills
that the American national flower should
be the splendid Indian corn plant in its
glorious young greenness just after it has
blossomed into tassel. America gave it
to feed the world. It is our own original
plant, and it is the all round most useful
and profitable vegetable product on thi
globe. How richly it can be made o
serve the purposes Of art is exemplif d
in some of the buildings of the World $
fair.
We are glad to see our opinion re-en-
forced POLITICALLY by the excellent judg.
ment of Miss Celia Tha2ter in The New
England Magazine. Maize For the Ma.
TONS Emblem is the name of the fine
ringing poem in which she sets forth the
claims of corn. Following arc some OF
the stanzas:
Gods gift to the new world great need,
That helped to build the nations strength
Up through beginnings rude to lead
higher race of men at length.
How straight and tall and stately stand
Its serried stalks upright and strong
How nobly are its outlines planncd!
What grace and charm to it belong!
What splendid curves in rustling lea,es
What richness in its close set gold!
What largess in its clustered sheaves,
New every year, though ages o!,i
America, from thy broad breast
1t sprang, benefcent and bright,
OF all thy gifts from heaven the best,
For the worlds succor and delight
Then do it honor, give it praise:
noble emblem should be ours
Upon thy fair shield set thy maize,
More glorious than a myriad flowers.

The Drowning Season.


It has begun already, late as the warm
weather has been il appearing. Livery
day news items are telegraphed about
the drowning of men, women Or chill
dren. It is nearly always the. ven
turesome boys who head the melan-
choly roll. In every case the news item
states that the drowned person was
unable to swim. Those who have been
drowned thus far have usually gone out
in a rowbost, which from some cause
capsized and precipitated them into the
water. It is to be noted, too, that in
these cases it is the persons who know
nothing of the management of a boat
and who cannot swim that are the most
venturesome in running into danger.
It ought to be that such lessons every
year of our lives would impel each man,
woman and child to learn to swim with
out delay, but they do not. Every one
thinks that whoever else is drowned he
himself will escape, and SO half the race
neglects what should be as much part
of child's training as learning to walk
Every inland city, however small, should
have its swimming tank and school if
there is no convenient river where this
graceful and useful physical accomplish
ment may be acquired. Besides that
those who do not know how to swim have
no idea how much pleasure they miss out
Of their lives. A good swim will chase
away the blues and bring one back to Joy
and fine love of life when he is on the
verge Of suicide. Learn to swim. Let not
this sup'mer so over your head without it.
Five years old is not too young to learn
this art, which ought really to come nat
urally to US ALL Ninety years is not tor
old

A CHILD SMOTHERED.
And Some Think That 1t Was Not
Accidental.


A child three months old belonging
to James. Taylor,o Of Gushing, died
Thursday night by being smothered
in bed. while sleeping with it's
father and mother. It's said to have
been accidental and Sheriff Houde
who was called there yesterday is
inclined to that view of the
case, yet some of the eneighbors want
a coroner's inquest. At last sccounts
the town authorities had forbidden
the burial of the childsuntilla an inquest
is held. DR.. Fortier, the coroner.
said this morning that he was noti-
fed by telegram from the father and
asked to come up, probably because
OF the talk OF the neighbors. The
docter is not inclined to take any
stock in the theory OF murder and
sta ted that a coroner's inquest would
only impose needless cost ON the
that it would establish moth
ing He sent word to them to have
the child buried. It is his suggestion
that Shelf Houde went up to look
over the case.
