There is probably not a daY which
does not witness the sacrifice OF hui

somewhere in the United States Yes
terdAy three men we're killed while
trying to drive across q railroad near
Greenfield. Ind The people Of this
country calmly tolerate the payment
by the railroad companies OF immense
salaries to the railroad lawyers, rail-
road doctors and ornamental railroad
officials, vet when it comes TO the con-
struction OF viaducts by which travel
ers may cross the tracks without being
killed we accept the usual plea OF pow
erty and hard times.
The railroad companies ought to be
compelled to provide viaducts, or TO
clear all distractions from the view Of
railroad crossings and slow up the
trains at those points. One or the
oth6r OF these ought to be done. There
is no such urgent necessity for speed
OF mails or passengers or freights that
human life must be sacrificed TO the
impGtience OF people waiting for their
letters.

THURSDAY. OCT. as. 1897.



When the proposition OF Maj L. n.
Brown, providing for the bull ling of
the Frisco extension from Red Fork,
l. IT,, TO Guthrie was considered at a
mass meeting last Saturday, the pre-
dietlon WAS freely ventured that the
$50 900 bonus called for would be
easily raised within three days That
such prediction was not fulfilled Is
due. in part. to the lethargy OF large
real estate owners and business men
OF the capital city, who had previously
promised to contribute freely, and who
failed to do So when the chance was
offered.
Up to last night s35. 457 had been
subscribed. The majority of property
owners have subscribed to the bonus,
but a score or more remain who seem
ingly do not appreciate the inpor-
tAEce Of this matter. And again,
there are others who resolutely ignore
the city's appeals and hope to see
their property immessurAbly en-
HANGED in value, through the public
spirit and capital OF othero. Some
merchants, too, who will see an in.
crease in their volume Of business
through tho operations OF another
road are amazingly dilitory.

hand to bring about its fruition. A

WASHINGTON. Oct 27.-Tho indica-

may yet reconsider Us determination
to ask Judge Sanborn for postpone

sons for the belief that the

in hourly expectation Of receiving an
additional proposition from the reor-
ganization committee. This is believed
TO be a material increase n the guar
antee offer, provided the sale be al
