Logan Items

Our town had narrow escape from
a disastrous conhagr alton last Satur-
day. The old Logan House caught
fire from a defective fue and it was
only through the heroic efforts of our
citizens that the southeastern portion
was saved from ashes. Had q brisk
wind been blowing the result would
have been disastrous. The flames
we're speedily extinguished with the
loss of few articles of bed clothing.
A travelling man who had just opened
his five trunks Of dry goods and no.
tions in the Office, which is used as a
sample room, when the alarm was
given used all haste to replace his ef-
fects. and in three minutes had his
trunks packed with only triAing loss.

thrown violently to the ground. Hap

Rock Island Wreck.

Another terrible wreck occurred
last Sunday morning on the Rock Is
land, eighteen miles west of Topeka
The west bound passenger which left
Kansas City an hour late collided
with an east bound freight Sunday
morning at 2 o'clock. -
Two colored tramps, who we're rid.
ing on the blind baggage" car, were
instantly killed, their bodies being
crushed into an unrecognizable mass.
The engineers and firemen on both
trains jumped when they saw the &C..
cident could not be aYerted, and all
escaped injury except Engineer Chas
Toppan of the passenger train, who
was badly hurt about the head by the
fall. Mail Clerk e. Il. Harter was
painfully injured about the back.
Mail Clerk y. o. Armstrong of Kan
sas City was slightly injured about
the head, and Baggogeman Forsythe
had his head crushed. None of the
passengers were hurt.
Inc injured men were brought to
Topeka and taken to the hospital for
treatment. 1t is not thought that of
the injuries will prove fatal. Engi-
neer Toppan, Baggageman Forsythe
and Mail Clerk Armstrong reside in
Kansas City, and Mail Clerk Harter
lives in st. Joseph. Conductor d. G..
Jones was in charge Of the passenger
train.
The wreck occurred near the switch
and was caused by an error that has
not yet been located, Both engines
we're badly damaged and the mail
and baggage cars wrecked. A track
WAS built around the debris, and at
o'clock new train was made up and
the passengers proceeded on their
way.
This is the second wreck on the
road within a week, and evidently
something is wrong, most probably
overwork Of employees.

AT the last meeting Of the board
of county commissioners the difficulty
between the board and the banks of
the county regarding taxes was set
tied by compromise. The banks
were assessed at seventy per cent Of
capital stock and surplus, instead of
eighty per cent, as fixed by the board.
BY this settlement the banks dismiss
all suits brought to restrain the treas
urer from collecting taxes from them,
and agree 10 pay on the above basis
at once. This settlement of these diff.
ferences seems to the HERALD to be a
fair and just one, not only to the
banks, but also to the people of the
towns and school districts in which
they are located, as the treasures Of
the latter were in great need of the
tax due from the former, and fair
compromise was by the board and the
bankers considered better than to risk
the delays and uncertainties of law
suit.

SPEAKING of Mrs. Leases speech
the Dispatch says: she also took
occasion to inform her audience how
we'll her children were provided for,
and might have added at the expence
,of the state and paid for out of the
public treasury and replenished each
year by the little contributions of the
tax payers of the state" Now why
do they harp on Mrs. Leases salary.
Is it any larger than when a Iepubli.
can drew it? Does she not perform
her official duty faithfully? What
right have they to kick if she earns
her money, even though she be pop
ulistl Aye, there's the rub. They
would like to see that salary made
use of to buy republican votes, just as
they do the pensions and all offices
which they control. So long as an
o fee is an income to the republican
party its pay is a mere pittance, but
when populist draws the same pay
it becomes at once magnificent SAL
arr. See? But what hurts them
most is the fact that the poor tax
payers (how they love themD help pay
the expenses of their speakersl "hy
little contributions" These little
contributions show that the people
are in earnest, and furthermore that
they do not expect their candidates to
furnish all the speaking during the
campaign and steal enough after they
get 10 Office to make up their expen-
ses. No, the peoples party prefers
to pay for what it gets as it goes, and
then demand honesty and economy Of
it's officers. Perhaps that method
don't suit old politicians, but it suits
the people. And have you noticed
that the people are suiting them,
selves here lately?
