Injuries Sustained in n Cnrriagc Ac-
cfdcnt in Minneapolis May Prove
Serious.
Indianapolis, Sept. Limited States
Senator Fairbanks Thursday night re-
turned to his home in this city from st.
Paul and Minneapolis and was forced
to take to his bed at once on account
of the painfulness of the injuries which
he received week ago by being
thrown from a carriage. Yesterday he
was considerably worse than when he
arrived, and much uneasiness is felt
by his friends. His left leg and arm
and his right hand are in bandages,
and at times he suffers circulating
pain. The developments of his con-
dition are being watched with great
interest and there is no little anxiety
by his family and friends.

Sober business men are saying that
1--WE have come round again to the day
of small profits" AS matter of fact,
that day has always been here and al
ways must be. For the vast majority
of mankind nothing beyond moder-
ate competence is ever possible, and
this only on the condition of industry
and frugality. AS heaped-up riches
can only be gained by one in hun
dred. what pity it is that the other
ninety-nine should miss the enjoyment
of what is within reach through few
erish eagerness to lay hands on the
pot OF gold at the foot Of the rainbow!

Military necessity does not hesitate
to obliterate patriotic memorials. A
tower built at Gravelotte as a tribute
to German soldiers who there fell in
battle has been blown up by the engi-

works outside of Metz. A first prin-
ciple of warfare is that the most prec-
ious lives and the most cherished
structures must be sacrificed if need
arise.
