Too MANY Elections In Kansas

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 5.-Gov. Stanley
says that elections are held entirely
too often in Kansas for the good OF the
state, and in his message to the legis-
lature he will urge the passage Of a
law cutting out half Of them. His idea
is to cut out one state election. Elect
state officers for term of four years,
at the time the president is elected.
Then prohibit state officer from hold
ing more than one term. Consolidate
the county elections, so as to hold one
every two years. This would get rid
Of lust half the elections.

A ACCIDENT.

The joy and mirth of a party OF
Joyous coasters on the long bill Oh
Tnirtieth street, extending from Oak
Hill cemetery TO N street, in George
town, was suddenly transformed to
grief and horror by 8 frightful head'on
| collision with q Metropolitan street car
at the intersection of P street, about
S:45 o'clock last night. AS the result
of the accident, James Souihey, q
years old, e bricklayer, is dead. Miss
| Marie Lee is in a critical condition suf
fering with conclusion of the brain and
| probable internal Injuries, and William
Birth, q first year medical student al
| Georgetown University, is suffering
from the effects of a compound fracture
of both bones Of the left leg below the
knee. Jerry Mccarthy, who was one
of the coasters, suffered q severe
abrasion of the face and head besides
numerous bruises. His brother, John
Mccarthy, suffered severely from the
shock consequent on the collision, bu-
was able to go to his home. Miss Elma
Massey, who lives at the Lee home, sui.
fered severely from shock and was
badly bruised. Her condition is not
serious. John McKenna, a student at
Georgetown University, was rendered
unconscious by the collision, but recoy-
cred shortly sfterward and walked to
the hospital to learn the fate of his COM
rade. The point at which the accident &C.
CURED is at the intersection OF Tnlrtieth
and P streets. Thirtieth street has a
gradual but pronounced decline from
Oak Hill cemetery to NJ street 1t was
we'll covered with snow, and made an
excellent ground for a large number OF
coastipg parties. The double runner"
on which was seated the merry party
left the summit of the hill at e few
minutes before S:45 o'clock. As the
hill is very steep, the long sled had
gained a terrific rate of speed as it ap
preached P street. The car reached
Thirtieth street just a second ahead OF
the time when the sled arrived at Z
street. Neither the conductor nor the
motorman noticed the approaching sled.
and the coasters did not see the car un-
til a moment before the crash. The
car bad almost cleared the track occu-
pied by the sled when, with q crash,
the latter struck the step OF the rear
platform of the former. The noise
caused by the collision was heard for
quite a distance. This was followed By
the cries aud means OF the dying and
injured. The a was brought TO q stop
as soon as possible and backed to where
the splintered sled and MANNED human
forms were lying and everything posi-
BILE done for the injured.

That Mr.. Carnegie is 8 wise man is
proved by the fact that though he COM
menced life as a laborer, ne has accumu-
lated an immense fortune which he is
now distributing. That his wisdom has
not deteriorated is proved by the other
fact that in speaking ofthe ratification OF
the Spanish treaty, he says: "Icongrat-
ulate the South upon its adherence TO
the principles of Washington snd JEFF
f~erson." But what a sad imputation is
his remark upon the few Southern Sen
ators who voted for that treaty.
