4 general denial has been given out
by Z. W. Thompson, assistant general
passenger agent Of the Rock Island at
Topeka, that the officials withheld in
formation or tried to cover up the re-
port Of the railroad wreck at VOlland-
a report to that effect was sent to the
Kansas City Star by a representative
OF that paper, and the Star made the
report the subject for an editorial, IN
which the railroad officials we're seve-
rely censured for their alleged con-
duct. The article in question was re-
produced in THEREPUBLIC without qUes-
tiOning its authenticity. Mr.. ThOmp-
son says the Star representative as well
as neWspapermen from other papers,
had free access to all reports received
from the wreck in regard to the injur-
ed passengers, etc, and why such a
position should be taken by that paper
is beyond his comprehension

FATHER OF TIE TRUSTS

The leaders Of the republican party
are suddenly confronted by an opposi-
ton to the Dingley tariff act which
may lead to a wholesale desertion from
the rank and file to the democratic
party. In the last few days the more
independent Of republican newspapers
have come out boldly for almost free
trade. The point that is made is that
more trusts have been organized since
the present year opened than in all
previous years in the history Of the
country, and in casting about for
reason for it the cause is laid to the
Dingley tariff, which is exactly the
case. Such papers as the Chicago
Times-Herald are taking the lead in
demanding that congress make haste to
exempt al goods and wares from Gus
tom duties that are cOntrOllsble IN
America by trusts. This sentiment
seems TO be spreading rapidly all over
the country and promises to be q very
perplexing factor in the republican
pRrty's next national convention
If such 8 law should be enacted il
would practically repeal the Dingley
act, for there Is not an industrial trust
IN the country that was not organized
10 CO4GEQA . particular AAu6 OF PRODUCE
and advance prices. Moreover, there
is not an article controlled by q trust
that is not sold by it in the markets OF
Europe at very much lower prices than
are eXacted In this country. The trusts
are protected from = to 200 per cent
By custom house charges, and as the
cost OF production in America is not
materially higher than IN Europe. they
have just that much additional profit.
Take the steel rail industry, for in
stance. American rails are going to
England and the British colonies and
dependencies at prices which the mills
Of Great Britain cannot duplieatsi and
yet every ton Of these American rails
= protected against the English makers
ia the American market By an import
tax Of 81. If our railmRkers wanted 70,
and they generally do, they could exact

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-

from an attack of Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of Ia grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when amberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t comteracts any
tendency of a cold or Ia grippe to re-
sult.in that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and Ia grippe. Every bottle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.

fragrant mismanagement of which
was so conspicuous feature of
the struggle while it syas in pro-

work OF commission delegated by
President Mckinley to investigate the

BILE is not surprising. The case is
simply one wherein the president

ton to investigate the acts of officers

ent board has completed its waste of

will appoint one to 90 into the subject
