BIG ENGINE Is SPEEDY.

Railway men of all classes are watch
ing with much interest the test of the
1920 series" of engines of the Rock
Island road, the largest running out OF
Chicago in passenger service. Engine
No. 1901 was given its first severe test
for power and speed last week. The
patrons of the Rock Islands first ex-
cursion to Colorado occupied fourteen
of the largest and heaviest coaches
This was enough for two trains to be
pulled by ordinary passenger engines
of the day, considering the speed re-
quired. The big engine did all thai
was expected of it and more. Between
Chicago and Rock Island it pulled thai
train of fourteen coaches with ease or
schedule time, and when called on fol
little extra effort developed a speed o.
over 72 miles an hour.
Engines of that class will haul all
the special trains which will be useC
by the Rock Island in it's series of Col
orado excursions, at the rate of one
fare plus $500 for the round trip
Three more excursions will be given
leaving here July 9, July II and Angus
1. The departing time of the specia
trains will be AS p. m., but on tn,
dates named excursion tickets will alst
be honored on all regular trains. TIL,
special trains to be used are high elias
throughout. Through dining car ser
vice is provided and the run from
Chicago to Colorado is made with onl.
one night on the road. Excursion rate
will be made to Colorado and Utal
from all points on the line of the Rocl
Island between the Missouri River an,
/ Chicago-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Senator Wellington, of Maryland, is
another man who has left the Repub-
lican party in the present crisis, and
vino openly states that he will not
support Mr.. Mckinley. Senator Well

been deceptive in the administration
of national affairs. and that he will
use what influence he may possess tc
prevent his election. The straws are

ANARCHY AND ASSASSINATION

King Humbert, of Italy, has fallen
beneath the assassin's bullet. AS
monarchs go King Humbert was one
of the best lof his class, and possessed
MANY noble traits which endeared
him to his people. The assassin was
an anarchist. Anarchy and assassina-
tion go hand i'm hand. Destroy the
devotees of the first and the second
will cease. Under present conditions
the Kingly crowns of Europe are
ained with piercing thorns.
The assassin of King Humbert, lit
mas been established, lived for some
years in the United States and left our
shores on a direct mission to slay the
King of Italy. 1t has been further
pretty automatically established that
me was a member of band of anar-
chists yet in existence at Paterson, N.
j., who make no secret of the fact that
their object lis to remove by assassi-
nation those in power who have in
curred their enmity. While of course
this country can in no wise be hello
responsible for the death of Italy's ru.
der, vet we are of the opinion that oul
authorities have a duty before then
which the well-being and safety Of
our institutions of law and order de-
mand should be speedily and effectu
ally performed.
Organizations such as the one de
scribed as existing at Paterson, o.
which the assassin Bressi was an ac
tive member, should mot be allowed K
continue bheir existence longer They
are menace to life and liberty, anC
there should be no room or opportun
ity for their nurture in this land O.
surs.

A veteran Republican who has sup

Fremont and Lincoln writes the New

sons that the present administration

pendence; is Staying poor Filipinos
for seeking that freedom we boast of;
is trying to embroil the nation in a

any votes for Mr.. Bryan hanging on

organs are deriving considerable con-
ISOLATION from this astronomical yarn.
They are certainlywelcome to all they

star gazer desires any confederation
for the soundness of his deductions we
are willing ito do our share towards
furnishing it. The signs of the times
down here ON mother earth have
assuredly shown that the chances of
Mr.. McKinley's reelection had gone
up in THE air somewhere sometime
ago, and could only be reached

a number OF prominent bankers In Wall Street who

foster the fear which many people entertain
IN regard to certain Industrial securities and
the good issues have. in consequence suffered
with the bad. There good railroad stocks and

stocks and bad industrial stocks long as the
United States remains productive and manufact-
urng country well managed industrial concerns
Will prove profitable investments. Examination
Will find that In the record OF bankruptcies of the
last ten the railroads have furnished larger
proportion OF the total than have the Industrial
companies. Wall Street will wake up day
to the fact that there is neither reason
in bearing Industrial issues OF value because
many badly managed concern. have had their
securities thrown out OF loans by the banks. 1t
may be well to recall the fact that the Industrial
stocks represent the progress and life OF the
country: also that OF the largest American
fortunes have been accumulated In industrial COM
panies. Stock market traders at time sold Pull
