A Nuisance.


Several parties have asked US if some
thing cannot be done to get rid Of the
crowd that infests that part Of Railroad
avenue usually called "Rotten Row."
which means from the drug store on the
corner to Martins cutting house.
This walk is narrow and Is taken up
by drunken loafers most Of the time,
which makes il almost impossible for
ladies to pass, they being compelled to
walk in the middle Of the street Or on the
railroad track, which is neither pleasant
nor safe. In front of all the saloons are
wide steps extending the entire width Of
the buildings which take up large por-
ton Of the banquette and affords con-
We ieut place for sitting day after day
aud smoke, spit, and use obscene Ian
guage, varied by an occasional fght.
The city council can at least have
these wide steps taken away and narrow
ones substituted, which widen the walk
aud eurtail the "roosting" place Of the
loafers.

NATURES HERO.
The Brave Deed of Conductor
ShacAfo Last Friday
Morning.
HESATEDIuMBER NINETEEN
The West-BOund Passenger on the South.
ern Pacific Wrecked on a Trestle. A
Tree Had Blown Across
The Track

The worst, and, In fact, the first rail-
road disaster of Importance that ever Oc-
Cured to the Southern Pacific railroad
in this vicinity happened last Friday
morning to the west bound passenger
which passed here on time, l1:l7 a. ND in
the midst of terrific wind and rain
storm. The rain fell in sheets, rendering
the track visible for not moTo than a few
rods ahead.
The train reached the trestle at the
edge Of the lake, proceeding cautiously,
and when about half way across, struck
large cypress tree which but moment
before had blown across the track. The
air brake was applied, but too late;
the pilot struckthe obstruction and the
engine stuck its nose under the trestle
so to speak, and tore up the track and
the huge timbers which composed the
tDestle for hundred or more feet and
then sunk down. Immediately all was
darkness, and when lights were brought
to the scene the express and baggage
and the mail cars were found lying on
their sides on the south side of the track,
torn and splintered.
Strange as it may appear, no one was
injured in this frightful wreck. Three
men were on the engine, No. 725, En-
gineer Goode, his fireman and the rear
brakeman, whose business it was to close
the switch at Westlake. All three es-
capped from the cab uninjured.
The mail clerks, baggageman and ex-
press messenger were equally fortunate.
Notwithstanding the two ears were a
total wreck.
The end Of the eolored car followed the
baggage, the front end being deTailed,
while the rear trucks remained on the
track. Only three or four people were
on this car, and they escaped injury.
Conductor Shackford, when the crash
came, Immediately clambered down the
trestle and waded through the mud and
water of the swamp until he got around
the wreck, and wrenehiDg red light
| from its place as rapidly as possible
| proceeded through the rain and wind to
nag the east bound train, No. 19, which
had already reached Westlake. For.
tunately, he was in time, and second
disaster Of the most horrible nature wa
ayerted.
ii took nearly "a hours to clear thu
track, and in the meantime, passengers
were transferred by way of the ferry.
The loss to the company will be many
thousand dollars.
The accident was one which no human
foresight could have prevented.

Over 1850 voters were registered in
this city, and it was expected that a very
large vote would be polled, Excite
ment was rife up to the last moment,
and although the democrats felt conf
dent throughout, that Mr.. Price would
be returned to congress, yet they did
not hope for such majority as was &C
corded him in Lake Charles and West
lake
1t was a glorious victory, and before
the returns are all in, the democratic
majority will be not less than 5000; per
haps more.
The day was an ideal one for holding
election. The weather was cool, clear
and crisp, and everybody felt enthused
and eager to work.
Voters were at the polls half on hour
after they opened and steadily the bal
lots fell into the box all day long.
There was no serious disturbance, and
although the republicans made very WY
faces when they saw their beloved
brothers in black casting their ballot
for Andrew Price, they were sensible
enough not tomurmur above whisper
Still it was great disappointment ia
the radicals when the saw three-fourthf

GRACEFULLY SURRENDERED.

The administration has recognized
the republic of Hawaii at last. 1t
must have been a bitter pill to swal-
low, but it had to go down. 1t was
an instance where public sentiment
was too strong and the autocratic
spirit of the would-be throne restorer
had to bend. But it was case where
the administration really had to. The
friends of better government have
shown themselves to be the best of
diplomats, and have completely out
generated all opposition. Grover
Cleveland and his cabinet was no
match for them, and they have been
obliged to yield to that superior force
ability. There has been no govern
mental policy inaugurated of late
years which has so wellillustrated the
power of.public sentiment, as has this
episode with Hawaii. 1t was de-
mand on the part of the American
people, without any regard to party
Affiliations, for fair play and justice,
and it made itself felt through the
walls of the white house and was

SIT may been accidental, but 1t
Looks like a. neatly devised scheme,
but which will not materalize," is
the way a leading, Republican COM
mented on. the classification of offices
in the call for the county nominating
convention. The point specially re-
ferred to is the fact that the office OF
sheriff is put in advance OF that OF
register Of deeds, and the interpreta-
tion is that certain faction OF party
leaders are in hopes of nominating Mr..
Schroeder, of Lyra, for that office, as
the German candidate, thereby
heading off Mr.. Oscar Biegbauer for
register of deeds. "Mr. Bierbauer'
our Republican friend thought, "will
oct the nomination il the whole ticket
is packed against him, for the reason
that he is faithful and popular Of
ficer, whom no ring cOmOlne can oe-
feat" We shall watch the outcome
with no little interest, In view OF TINS
prediction by well-posted Repuoll-
can.
The above is from Thursdays Re
yieey. For the information OF "a lead

Mace to call his attention to the fact
that the committee made the call this
wear in exact accord with every call
that has been issued for Republican
convention since 1888 and including
that year, with the exception that
two years ago the legislative ticket
was named last in the call and sheriff
came after register of deeds. Chairman
Smith felt that the Importance OF the
legislative ticket demanded it's care

FOUND OUT THEIR MISTAKE.

Mr.. Glover, who was an active pro-
moter of the Populist movement in
Kansas, and who was elected to con-
gress from one Of the Kansas districts
in 1890, by some 5000 majority, and
who has also served as president of the
Kansas Alliance, and as vice-presi-
dent of the National Alliance, has adj
dressed letter to the farmers of that
body advising them to abandon the
Popuist party and cast their votes
solidly for Republican congressman.
He reminds the farmers Of Kansas
that they joined the Democrats to
down the ''robber tariff and to
overthrow the banded plutocrats,"
and he invites their inspection of the
results. And he finds the result of
this inspection not a pleasant one.
He finds the sugar trust and other
trusts debating the policy of the
Democratic party on the tariff He
finds that the southern planter gets
what protection he wants, while the
northern farmer is hit wherever there
is chance. He finds Democratic and
Populist representatives and senators
voting together to accomplish this re-
suit, while stagnation in business,
idle factories and striking Workmen
are natural result of this policy. He
recognizes the mistake which has been
made and has the courage to call q
halt, and to face about and march
back to the party under whose rule
there was better condition Of affairs
There are many indications pointing
to the fact that there are many who
are becoming of the same opinion a:
Mr.. Glover, and who will act likewise
The Chicago Inter Ocean in comment

THE announcement of the proposed
cut in elevator charges by the Great
Northern at Duluth, is causing com,
motion among elevator men through,
out the northwest. 1t is urged by
those who do not favor such cut,
that it will not benefit the farmer
any, as he does not store wheat in the
big elevators, but that it will revert
only to the profit of the middlemen.
This may be true, and yet keen com,
petition may force the middleman tC
divide. He may hold the benefits fol-
while, but the desire for the wheat
is going to cause some man to- make a
break and divide with the farmer, and
then it will become contagious al
along the line.
