THAT END SEAT.
Here Are Some Reasons Why the
Holder of 1t Is Right in
Holding 1t.

When boarding a car a person has a
clear right to any vacant seat, and it is
rank Qngentlemanliness for one who
comes later to Indicate by action, word
or look that the earlier passenger must
move to another place. 1t is not hog
gish, it is not in any degree impolitc
to keep ones place, making the passage
to seats beyond as easy and convenient
as conditions permit. If it is Disagree
able to be obliged To rub by, it is also
disagreeable to be rubbed by those
passing by. 1t is not the passengers
fault that the space is narrow.
1t is one of the common rules by
which life is made tOlcrable that the
first-comer's choice snail be REGARDED
as an indisputable right. If he surren-
ders it he confesses a gracious favor,
but he is not a brute if he does not sur
render it. Perhaps he knows that he
has to get off first and, on the whole,
that convenience Will be promoted by
staying where he is: but the seat is
his to use and enjoy, and the impolite
person is the one who would take it
from him, if it were offered, without
recognizing the action as a ~gratuitous
courtesy and a personal sacrifice.
When a mar goes to buy thcater tick
cts for himself and his wife and selects
seats next to the aisle for reasons that
seem good to him, he would consider it
an affront for one who bought tickets
later and was obliged to choose other
seats in the row to look at him as il
he was a boor or a pig because he did
not move away from the seats he had
secured and let the newcomer have
them.
This is not saying that there are not
timesa and circumstances when the well
bred man will promptly resign his
rights and preferences in Difference tx
the convenience or the comfort o.
others; but he is not bound to do it tt

Baskerville, Iowa, Feb. 1O.-The
1880 q. m mixed train on B. G. r. g.
n. railway was completely wrecked
about 4 mi. west of here yesterday by
broken rail. The accident occurred
on a high dump on down grade.
The engine passed over in safety.
but six freight cars, the baggage car
ana coach rolled down the bank,
smashing the freight cars into kind
ling wood: The baggage Cdr and
coach both landed about forty feet
from the track, bottom side up.
Strange to say, no one was killed, but
all more r. less injured. The coach
caught fire Immediately, and one wo-
map besides being BADLY cut about
the face had her clothes nearly burn
ed from her body.
The engineer. Dick Wetheral,
thinking the train had broken in two
and knowing the danger OF a COLI
sion in such cases, pulled the throttle
and started at lightning speed down
tho long grade into this city, but.
finding no rear section coming after

the train. His establishment may be
Imagined when he found there was
nothing left worth picking up, except
the passengers and train crew, who
were standing about the burning
coach trying to keep from freezing,as
the thermometer registered AZ de-
grees below zero, with sharp north
west wind blowing. However, all
were picked up and brought to this
place and are doing as well as could
be expected after the fearful exper-
iencs.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Mrs. Wetherell's sister was on the
train going home. Her clothes were
badly burned, as she also suffered
some wounds about the head. Mrs.
Hodges of Round Lake was on the
train bound for the bedside of her
sick mother, one Of her children was
quite badly injured. Mr.. Wetherell
says about foot of rail jumped out
after the engine and portion of the
train passed over it, and it is a mir
acle that some Que was not killed or
more seriously injured.
