Supt. Wilson is taking due precaution
to prevent accidents at street crossings,
not only in jamestown, but at other
points on his division. One OF the recent
orders on the subject is that when there
are two or more tracks over street
crossing only one train will be allowed
TO CROSS at time. When trains are
passing over street crossing trains on
the other tracks will not pass over such
crossing until 1t is clear and people have
had a chance to pass over.

A Wreck in the Yards.

Monday morning smell wreck occurred
on the main line just west of the round
house and shops. The switch engine,
the passenger coach,-which was over
turned. and mail car on the Valley train
were damaged somewhat. No one was
hurt.
The accident occurred at about 8
o'clock and wss caused by the long train,
which the switch engine was hauling,
running together and 90 forcing two
cars upon it. An "extrs" freight from
the west was coming down the hill and
seeing the switch engine at work on the
main line wh,stled repeatedly and came
to standstill. Engineer Gran Of the
switch engine must have miscalculated
upon bis speed for although going slowly
it was not until be was close to the other
engine, apparently, that he reversed.
It was then too late, for as
he pulled up his engine, the
slack Of his train came together and
forced the passenger coach on top Of the
switch engine, where it poised for an in
slant and then fell to the ground with q
crash. The engine cab and everything
else back of it were raked of clean and
the engine lifted up and hung on the
tender, holding one pair Of drivers clear
OF the track. The trucks of the coach
were raked OF clean, and one set forced
under the mail coach and left in place OF
ito truck Which was forced hack under
the center of the car. The two engines
came together 90 very gently that very
little damage was done to either. The
freight engines COW catcher was bent
down to the rails, and the switch engine
had tho footbosrd crushed. Engineer
William Hughes and Fireman Henry
Fisk Of the freight engine No. $50, drop
ped to the ground when they saw q col.
lission was possible, as also did Engineer

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Horse Barn at Asylum Struck
by Lightning and Burned
to Ground.
Building and Contents a Total
Loss Of $2,5OO-lnsured
for ST 200.
A Wreck in the Yards.-TWo
Deaths on Monday.
Local Notes..

during the tnunoer shower MOnoay
morning FIRE broke out in the barn at the
asylum, caused by stroke Of lightning.
Instantly the building was in flames, it
appearing to ignite from large ball Of
fire descending on the cupola and run
ming along the ridge pole. There were
several patients in the building at the
time, one Of whom vas resting on the
hay IN the NOW. He is a patient who
has peculiar aversion to electricity and
carries around with him bar of iron to
protect himself. He was shocked, Of
course, by the stroke and intensely ex-
cited, but uninjured. No one in the
building vas hurt, but all made prompt
escape.
There we're about twenty-five or thirty
tons OF old hay in the barn, which
burned, together with the entire build
ing. Two horses we're also In the build
ing, but were safely removed, as we'll as
q COW and a dozen calves. There we're
no vehicles of any kind in the barn and
the loss is confined to the building and
hay, excepting two fine bird dogs that
could not be rescued, belonging to Dr..
Archibald and Mr. Ruddy.
The most notable part Of the fire was
the work Of the asylum force with the
artesian water protection system.
The engineer sounded the whistle
alarm and hose was attached to
the hydrant, but recently placed near
the barn, and two streams OF water used
to save the Ice house, the granary, con-
tanning between 1900 and 5000 bushels
of barley and oats, and the machinery
shed, all of which were in close prox-
unity. The force of the stream was
ample to do this, in fact supplied the
hose Of tho city 6remen with water also.
Tho barn was detached from the regular
horse and carriage barn.
Supt. Archibald desires to return his
thanks 70 tho city sfiremen for their
prompt appearance on the scene, oonsid-
ering tho great distance to be Travelled,
and for their valuable ;assistsnce. The
management were also particularly
pleased st the promptness With which
the employees responded to the call, and
the good work which they did.
The burned structure was we'll con.
structed and finished building, 68 by 70
feet, and was valued at about $4,000.
The contents OF the barn, consisting Of
about 80 tons of hay, four sets Of harness
bob-sleighs, forks, shovels and general
farm and barn parsphernalia we're de-.
stroyed and valued at about e500, making
total loss $500.
The barn was used to stable the Ok
farm teams, but fortunately all were out
Of building at tho time. Insurance on
building and contents is 81, 200, divided
among large number Of insurance COM
panies, making individual losses very
small.

To Reform Editors.

There will be q desperate attempt
made in the senate to fix up conpro-
mise which shall include q small coinsae
Of silver and an issue Of bonds to increa.
the gold reserve in the treasury. Opsn
ell your batteries on this plan Of inCreas-
ing the gold reserve. It is one Of Che
fOulest schemes ever conCoctsd. Every
dollar put in the reserve is contraction
of the currency. It does not mend mat
ters if the law prescnbes that the $780,
100000 OF bonds shall be sold in Europe.
Not q dollar OF gold will come from Eu-
rope. They will DO paid for in exchange,
and the S2O0,OO0,OOO will be taken out Of
the money in circulation in this country,
and looked up In the vaults Of the treas
ury, whore, for any good 1T will do, il
might as well be at the bottom Of the
sea. To contract our currency in this
way means the foreclosure Of every mort
gage, further decline in prices, and
the transfer of most of the remaining
half Of the property in this country TO
the 24,OOO men who have already cap
tured the other half. The order 10 to
open fire all along the line. Even il you

The Starving Poor.

That able reform paper, 1.-THE Union,'
of Minneapolis, contains in recent
issue q statement of some facts showing
the extent Of the suffering of the un-
employed workmen in many Of our
cities. 1t is enough to make ones heart
bleed to read them:
eI intended to tell something Of the
relief measures adopted in twenty or
more cities, but / see there will net be
room in this letter. pittsburg, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, San Francisco and several
other cities have considered the public
employment idea and have progressed to
different stages along the line. In San
Francisco the homeless hundreds have
established a camp and soup kitchen on
the old sand lots. The city furnished
the money for the purchase Of an old
sail, which was stretched across an open
space, with supports at each side, thus
providing a canvass roof to shelter the
poor creatures. In Cincinnati the,msyor
is attempting to aid the efforts Of the
labor organizations relief committee
He attended one Of the meetings of the
unemployed the other day. An incident
of the meeting, reported In the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, will give an idea Of the
distress In that city:
A scene which was enough to touch
heart Of stone closed the meeting. The
chairman asked IL there we're any men in
the hall who had had nothing TO eat since
the day before.
Nearly fifty men stood up.
A few more questions were asked, and
then the fact was developed that there were
nearly thirty men In the hall who had had
nothing 10 eat for three days.

Kansas CITY Stock Yard Notes.

The way things are going at the yards,
it will not be long before the panic will
be forgotten. The demand for feeding cat
tie keeps up surprisingly, and would be
still greater il the banks would only ex-
tend more assistance to feeders. They
still hesitate about tying up their money
in long time paper. But some assistance
is being granted, and each week sees the
situation improved, and it looks now as
if as many, If not more, cattle would be
fed in this section this winter than ever.
A good beef market is had, and hogs are
selling well. A lot Of fancy native steers
yesterday brought $500, the best price
for q long time, but they are beauties,
the fourteen averaging 1853 pounds, and
they were dehorned. They were fed BY

Look Out for the County Clerks,

sas who desire honest elections, and
honest returns OF the votes Rs cast, to
keep in mind the Importance which the
Topeka Capital and other republican au.
thorities say attaches to the election Of
county clerks this fall. The significance
of the suggestion may bs understood
when it is remembered that the republi-
can party managers tried to steal votes
enough in CoWley and other counties In
the last election to defeat the ticket that
was honestly elected; and that the county
clerk is the officer through whom this
devilment is sought to be accomplished.
Defeat these dishonest methods by de-
festing republican candidates for county
clerk.

Charles Bunnel, Of Jefferson county,
Kas.
Prices over the whole cattle list win
average to-day from 35 to so cents per
100 pounds higher than last year. The
depreciation in quality from last year is
very marked, and it indicates q close
cleaning up, especially throughout the
west and south. On some prominent
ranges there are fewer cattle, according
to reports, than at any time during the
last five years. The process has been
facilitated by good prices and great pres
sure for money. The scarcity of stock
hogs has also limited feeding operations,
and the outlook for q maintenance Of
good prices is altogether favorable for
the coming season.
Trade is fairly active at the stock
yards at present. It is especially so in
the hog market, where the general prices
prevailing are from &625 to $500 per 100
weight. Good cattle are finding steady
sale ct prices that satisfy shippers.
Among the many sales was one by
"UnCle" George Long, q prominent cat.
tie grower and shipper OF Virgil, Kas.
Uncle George sold forty-fOur head Of
1,5O6-pound native native beef steers at
$40 per 100 weight. This was the best
price obtained for cattle at the yards for
several weeks.
The sheep market has been overrun
for several days, large shipments from
the west having almost glutted the mar
ket. Prices are holding up well, how
ever, and q day or two Of light receipts
will relieve the plethora.
Following are the totals Of live stock in
Missouri, with changes compared with
last year, according to the assessment

Hogs are more likely to go higher than
lower. According to the government re-
ports the hog crop is 10 per cent. less
than q year ago, and the condition 10
per cent. worse. All conditions seem to
point to higher prices for everything the
farmers have to sell.

NATIONAL BANKERS CIRCULAR.
DEAR SIR:-It is advisable to do all in
your power to sustain such daily and weekly
newspapers, especially the agricultural and
religious press, as will oppose the issuing Of
greenbaok paper money, and that you with
hold patronage OF fsvors from all sppl-
cants who are not willing TO oppose the
government issue of money. Let the gov
eminent issue the coins, and the banks is-
sue the paper money OF the country, for
then we can better protect each other. To
repeal the law creating national banks, or
to restore to circulation the government is-
sue of money, will be to provide the people
with money, and will, therefore, seriously
affect our individual profit as bankers and
lenders. See your member Of congress at
once, and engage him to support our inter
