PREPARED FOR WRECKS.
Hereafter Rock Island Passenger
Trains viii Garry Emergency
Supply Boxes.

A new feature has been inaugurated
by the Rock Island in their passenger
service which is designed for the care
and comfort of passengers or employees
in case of railroad accidents. Here
after all Rock Island passenger trains
viii carry an emergency supply box as
a part of the train equipment, the box
to be filed with all necessaries for the
temporary dressing of wounds in case
of accident.
The emergency box viii be in charge
of the conductor, and will contain scis-
sOrs, bandages, absorbent cotton. medi-
Gated gauze, adhesive plaster, vase
line, tourniquet, muslin and two forms
Of medicinal tablet. In case of injury,
wounds are to be temporarily dressed
by the trainmen until the company
surgeon can be secured.

is believed that, by making immediate
attention to injuries possible, the dan
ger of fatality in railroad accidents viii
be greatly lessened.

The widest wheat market seen in a
year was that of today. The huctua-
lions went from side to side with
rapidity that was bewiIdering, jumps
of nearly a cent at a time being fire.
quent July wheat had an advance Of
7 cents last week and it looked at times
today as if that advance would be re-
peated during the session. It opened
&c above the closing prices of Satur~
day but it was in heavy supply at that
figure and the price was jammed down
&c N a short time. Then came the
trouble The bulls redoubled their eff
forts and soon had the market on an
excited boom, the elimination of which
was a rise of . cents above the lowest
price previously made But the boom
collapsed almost os soon as twas made.
on the posting of the ridiculous small
worlds visible decrease, prices went
down with rush to 607sc or &c below
the opening, and 25sc below the high
mark Of the session. The rise in the
drst place was due to Thoman's crop

report which showed q decline of 6 per
cent in the condition of wheat during
the past month. The buying was very
heavy for an hour. John Cudahy alone
must have taken 1000, 90 bushels and
other prominent brokers were also
heavy traders. At the top Cudahy was
said to have sold as much as he had
bought previously and his aggressive
trading contributed mueh TO the break.

conservatism and would not have the
large majority which the free coinage
advocates will have in that convention
run roughshod over the miaBrity with
out granting to them the opportunity OF

day after day as they are now Of am

millions of dollars have been pledged to

strictly in favor of those who will be on
guard at Chicago keeping sharp look

themselves in readiness to strike down

who, unwilling to gracefully submit to

TIME FOR A CHANGE

On the whole, so far as Col e. B. Stahl-
man is concerned, the republicans did
not loose much by refusing to nominate
HI. Clay Evans for vice president In
his speech before the Alabama delegation
at st, Louis the colonel, 1t is
said promised that both he and
his newspaper would support the
ticket If Evans was nominated.
The convention turned his man Evans
down, and now Colonel Stahlman will
support the republican ticket, but his pa
per, the Banner, we are informed both
by the Banner and others nearer home,
will go ON supporting the democratic
party as 1t has been doing in the past.
1t is remarked that "the Banner is one
of the ablest edited papers in the south,
and will scarcely suffer either from Col
onel Stahlman's change or from the at
tacks that the free silver press is making
upon it,
The free silver press will not likely by
its attacks" upon the Banner cause that
paper to suffer half so much as the Ban
ner is likely to make the democratic par
ty in Tennessee suffer. AS a sample of
the support the Banner is giving the de-
mocracy in Tennessee, and as an evil
dence that the republicans did not loose
much by a failure of Colonel Stahlman
to take his paper along with him into
the republican fold, we reproduce below
an extract published last Tuesday af-
ternoon.
'"The same old democratic machine
that had Peter Turney counted in as gov
ernor also arranged that alleged sp6n-
famous movement that called Mr.. Tay-
lor from the lecture platform to become
the democratic nominee. He Is the ma
chimes choice, and he must defend its ae-
| ton. Confession of the crime will count
for nothing If 1t be not followed by due
contrition and proper punishment"
1t will be borne in mind that the above
extract Is taken from the editorial COL
umns of a newspaper which claims and
asks patronage as a democratic newspa-
per.
II there has "been no change in the
Banners policy observable since Col
onel Stahlman changed it is getting high
time some change was taking place, or
democratic newspapers not advocates of
the time-honored democratic principle
of free coinage should join with "the free
coinage press in it's attacks on the
Banner in the interest of democratic sue

The State Herald is doing Captain
Johnston much more injury than benefit
by such mean and contemplate thrusts
at the greatest living democrat. '-Mont-
gomery Advertiser
For about three months on dead
stretch preceding the state convention
the Advertiser almost daily assured the
public that the State Herald was woe
fully damaging Captain Johnston. In
fact. 1T would frequently rear back on its
pastern joints and announce that John
ston was really not in the race because
of the irreparable damage the State Her.
aid had wrought him. Well, lie we
harmed him sufficiently to cause him to
turn up ait Montgomery with only little
over two thirds of the delegates to the
state convention, we shall feel content to
harm him sufficiently in this race to cause
him to roll up 10000 or $4,000 majority in
theAugust election. Now, the State Herald
remarked time or two some months ago
that the Advertiser was doing the cause
of certain gentleman harm, butt If
things had turned up later on just to the
reverse of what they did we would not
have been heard repeating the remark
