FREE Speech RESTRICTED.

The freedom Of speech in Germany Is
being greatly restricted, and there are
grave apprehenslons as to what length
the Kaiser may yet go in that direction.
It has become SO that the nlildest critl-
clsms Of the Emperor is an offense and
those 30 offending are liable to pun
ishment. 1t is said that the spy system
has gone to that extent that it is un-
safe for q man to speak lightly Of the
Emperor, even to the members Of his
own household, lest he may be over
heard and thrown into prison. The Won
Tausch trial. recently held in Berlin.
demonstrated this
William holds that he Is above crtl-
cism, and this being his belief, 1t Is not
difficult to understand to what extent
the liberties Of the people are endan-
sered with such man as the ruler In
free America it is q great privilege to
criticise whom one pleases, from the
president down to the "wood-sawyer's
clerk and If the penalty therefor was
imprisonment all the jails in the country
would be insufficient to accommodat e
the offenders Of 4 day.

There are more loans Of funds to parties

going on since November. 1896 This

to take on better business shape early
in December, 1896. and the Improvement

WIaAT THE CONCERT HAS ACCOM-.
PElSHED.

No one need inquire infinitely into the
course OF the concert Of the great
powers in order to ascertain what it
has accomplished, nor need 1t be added
that future developments IN the Levant
are more likely to astonish and startle
the public than anything yet done in
that part Of the world. The concert
started out to do great things, and in
stead. il has crushed Greece, resuscitated
Turkey, and practically made the Gear
of Russia the arbIter Of Europe.
England, perhaps, has lost more pres
tige by this turn OF affairs than any
other power, though 1t Is quite apparent
that France, instead Of being benefited.
has been the loser. They say that the
average Englishman does not hesitate
10 condemn the part England has play
ed as one Of the members OF the con-
cert, and that i feeling OF disgust and
bitterness is manifest almost upon every
hand, without regard to party aflilia-
tons. The fact is that whatever NAV

GROWING SERIOUS.

The situation in the East grows more
complicated daily. and the outlook for
trouble between the Great Powers Is
more imminent than at any time since
the outbreak OF the Turl1o- Grecian war.
The Sultan has 100000 troops In Thes-
sally and is preparing to settle perma-
nently in that province. presumably by
the advice OF Germany. Now, England
comes forward with Il threat that she
will withdraw from the concert if Tur-
key IS not compelled to evacuate Thcs-
sally, and Germany rejoins by saying
that If it does she will withdraw from
the concert. So that in either event
there is Il likelihood Of one or these ma
tons falling out OF the concert line.
or course. the Sultan, skilled diplomat
that he is, rather likes the situation.
knowing that just SO long as the Pow
ers fall to agree he Is safe In his posi-
ton. There is some sort Of belief pre-
vailing in diplomatic circles that Rus
sia is inclined to the opinion that Tur,
key is entitled to Thessaly by reason of
conquest, but on the other hand, France
refuses to join in any such a view, and
so matters continue to grow more com
| picated daily. The world need not be
surprised should the trouble, which be-

ROCK ISLAND TRAIN HAS A
MISHAp.
Hins Cars, Three Of Them Loaded
VITA Merchandise, Go Down an
Embankment- Nobody Hurt.

Special to the Reflector.
HERINGrON, Dec, 2.-One OF the
most serious wrecks ever known in
this county occurred about one mile
east of this city at 4 o'clock this
morning. The freight in from Kansas
City with twenty-five cars was run
ming at full speed when a drawhead
broke eight cars back from the engine
and seventeen cars including the
caboose ran off the track. Nine cars
tumbled down Il t~weuty-foot embank-
ment and piled ina heap at the bot
tom. Three were loaded with
merchandise but all were so badly
splintered that they will be burned.
The remaining eight cars remained
on the ties. Several men were in the
caboose and they feel that they had a
narrow escape as the car stood on the
brink Of the embankment. As it was
no one was hurt though the damage
will be large.

MARBLE FROM GYPSUM.
New idea That May Mean Much for
Dickinson.

Several stucco and gypsum man.
ayers are investigating a new Cana
dian patent process by which gypsum
cali be made into marble. The gyp-
sum is treated by a chemical process
which crystalizes and hardens it into
q white solid block, readily worked
under the chisel or with a turning
lathe. The company in Canada is OBJ
tanning its gypsum from the United
States to manufacture the new pro-
duct but it is believed that much
better results can be obtained from
the Kansas raw material. The mat
ter is being investigated and if it ap.
pears promising a test may be made
with Kansas gypsum which is &C.
knowledged to be u~nexcelled for pur-
ity and strength.

FOR BETTER WALKS.
BRICK OR STONE ONLY 70
BE LAID.
Council Passes the New Refunding
Bond 0rdinance-Extensive Side.
walk Improvements Planned
Council Doings.

The city council met in regular
session Friday night, all present but
Ellison and Gray.
The usual list Of bills was allowed.
The police Judge reported $277 in
fines collected for the month.
An ordinance providing for the is
suance of $4,000 refunding bonds
was adopted. The money was sent
to New York today to pay off the old
bonds. Then the new ones will be
issued and sold to the State school
fund commissioners, the saving being
one per cent in interest. The new
bonds bear FIVE per cent. The mayor
and city clerk will have to sign their
names over 500 times to the new
documents.
Sidewalk improvements attracted
considerable attention. 1t was the
unanimous opinion Of the council
that the present board walk system is
expensive and extravagant. The street
and alley committed was instructed
to inspect the town and an ordinance
will be adopted setting forth limits
including all the business and chief
residence portions Of town within
which only brick or fagstone walks
shall be laid. Property owners will
be given three years within which
time the change must be made, the
intention being to have the present
walks relaid as they wear out. The
area ways on the principal business
streets must be arched over or filled
up. This is a sensible movement and
the council will do well to enforce it
thoroughly.
The matter Of new hose was dis
cussed. The city will send for sam.
piles and purchase several lengths.
Two lots south Of the city hall can be
for 1925 and it is proposed
to buy them and erect a hose tower
to protect the hose properly. Ad-
iourned.
