A serious wreck occurred one re
cent Sunday at Windsor station. near
ST. Louis on the ST. Louis 4 San Fran.
cisco Railroad. As Is usual In such
cases, charges Of specific carelessnesi
aud blame attach TO some one for the
accident. but the unusual feature OF
the case In question Is that the railroad
omclals freely acknowledge the blame
and allow the public 10 know where
the responsibility lies. II railroad ofti'
clals would always do this they would
receive much more sympathetic con
sideratlon at the hands OF the public
when trouble occurs II Is extremely
Irritating TO feel that railroad com
pnnies are trying to suppress facts con
corning accidents or endeavoring to
evade responsibility for them. Those
who were to blame FOR the accident
should not escape punishment fol
their carclcssness but the public VIII
feel much more lenlent toward them
for the reason that there was no at.

nlshed a commendable example on the

cred that the church was on fire. In
stead Of giving the alarm In manner

the likelihood OF a panic. he stepped
quietly into his pulpit and asked the
congregation to leave the church al

WHEAT BEING GATHERED.
Dickinson Will Have a Good Deal Of
It, Too.

The farmers Of Dickinson county
have been hustling in the wheat
fields this week and have found a
yield far in excess of the early predic-
tons. The late sown fields have
suffered from winter killing and there
spots where the yield will fall down
but on the whole the result will be
better than last year. The rain Of
last night lodged some Of the wheat
on the bottoms but it helped spring
crops greatly. The demand for labor
is general. 1t is no trouble for a man
who wants a job to get one. There
is no excuse for tramps or idleness.
The railroads are having difficulty in
holding section men. Good wages
and good grub" is a strong induce
ment.
The wheat crop will bring money
into the county when it is needed.
Corn ought not to be sold when gath
cred and farmers who are able to do
so should hold their corn and feed it
to cattle and hogs, not realizing cash
for their crop until late in the winter
or spring. But wheat sells promptly
and for cash as soon as theshed. 1t
will be on the market in few weeks
and will provide money for the time
between then and the sale of corn or
the shipment of cattle.

she could utilize. but it was always

National Educational Meeting

For the meeting of the National Ed.
ucational association at Buffalo in
1896 the excellent service given by
the Union Pacific was commented on
by all those who had the pleasure of
using that line. This year our edu-
eational friends meet in Milwaukee,
Wis, July 6 to 9 and members of the
association and others from points
west of the Missouri river should by
all means take the Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists Of
handsome day coaches, chair cars,
Pullman buffet and drawing room
sleepers, dining cars and buffet
smoking and library cars. Fewer
changes than via any other line. One
fare plus $3.50 for the round trip will
be the rate from all points west Of the
Missouri river for this meeting. For
illustrated matter, folders, etc, call
on or write M. B. Fulton, Agent.

FIVE WERE PROTECTED.
Wyandt Insurance Agency Promptly
Settles Wind Loss.

Five Of the farmers who suffered
from wind damage Wednesday nigh,
are bappy-they were insured in the
Wyandt Insurance agency and are
certain to have a prompt settlement.
In Hayes township they were: j.
Lantz, 5000 damage to barn; j. Good
win, barn blown down, 1925; j. Dun
lop, damage to residence, 500; in
Cheever. NJ. A. Miller, damage to
barn, $25; in Willowdale, A. M. Ger
man. barn blown off foundation, 500.
These gentlemen see the value of in
surance against wind; while less for
tunate neighbors are losers, they are
fully protected.
The Wyandt agency has gained an
enviable reputation for prompt settle
ment of losses and its popularity is
shown by its increase of business,
During the first six months of this
year it has written nearly as much
insurance as during the entire year of
1896. The businesslike methods fol-
lowed, the prompt settlements and
strong companies represented are re-
sponsible for this and the progress
of the agency continues to stand all
the tests of a good firm. Those whom
IT insures are never disappointed.
