Death On The Rail.

Saturday morning last. at about
O'Clock, the east bound Missouri Pacific
passenger train was wrecked near Me-
Cracken. in Rush county, and the
engineer. VIM. Young of Great Bend
was killed.
Some coal cars had escaped from a
siding and ran out on the man line.
coming in collision with the passenger
engine at a point where the track
crosses a slough. The engine and
three coal cars were dumped in a mass
down the embankment. Engineer
Young jumped, at the moment of the
collision, but in falling about IS feet
had his back broken, living but few
hours after the accident. Jake Hadley,
of Hoisington, the fireman, also Jump
ed but escaped injury. Thecoal cars
and engine caught fire. The passenger
cars. and passenger and mail cars.
held to the track and thus more dis.
astrous catastrophy was avoided.
Engineer Young was splendid citi-
zen. liked by all who knew him, and
bad made many staunch friends during
the few years he had lived in this city.
He was about IS years of age, and
leaves wife, but no children. We
are told he had no other known rela.
tives living. There was a wonderfully
strong attachment between deceased
and his mourning wife. At about the
hour Of the accident Mrs. Young awoke
from sleep believing that she heard
her husband calling her in a voice of
agony. She could not make herself
believe 1t was but dream, and when
kind friends went to the house to in
form her of the accident in the morning
she told them Immediately they game
| to tell her Will was killed.
Mr.. Young was prominent in Masonic
circles. and the Knights Templar took
charge of the remains upon their being
] brought to Great Bend about noon of
Saturday. The remains were shipped
to New York for interment, deceased
having beforehand provided a burial
place at his old home.
| This sad death strengthens US in the
belief that the great railroad corpora.
tons should pay their working em.
pioyes better, should take more pre-
caution in providing for their safety
and the safety of the people in their
charge. If common sense of right and
justice will not teach the railroad CON-
panies this. the laws should be made
to compel them t. do it. Quite likely
the number of employees at McCracken
vas reduced to help cut down expen Sc.
es and increase the dividends, leaving
not sufficient. competent help to take
the care of that station that would
have prevented this accident

ing efforts in past years to
awaken an interest in better poul-
try have been crowned with sue
cess. In the three years that
the association has been in ex-
istence the amount of poultry OF
all kinds raised in Barton coun-
ty has been trebled; the class OF
fowls has been wonderfully i'm
proved, and the value Of the
product greatly increased.
The exhibit at the old opera
house last week was much larger
than any Of the former exhibits,
and was attended by an increas-
ed number Of interested specta-
tors. The Association was en-
abled, by reason OF the liberal
patronage of the public, to offer
better premiums than formerly;
and every pledge of the Associa-
ton has been kept, and every
award and expense paid.

We are sorry to note that our
good democratic friend Stokes
sympathizes with the Leaven-

sympathize with law breakers.
Think you that the men response

less guilty of murder than the
victim who plead innocence even
after there was no hope of being
escued?-Hoisington Dispatch.
AND the editor of the DEMO
Graf is sorry to note that the
editor of the Hoisington Dis
patch sympathizes with such
fiends incarnate as Alexander,
the negro thug and ravisher;
and Becker the white murderer.
1t is not encouraging to good
morals for him to jump to the
defense of such brutes in human
form. Think you that either OF
the two above named victims OF
popular indignation would ever
have been given just punishment
for their crimes had the slow
process of the law been left to
take it's course? Becker was
playing insane, and would doubt
less have got an easy birth in
| the asylum for a few years, with
good chances for final escape.
Alexander would have probably
got a life sentence-might have
been released to continue his
debauchery.of women. My young
friend, mob law is bad, is deplor-
able. But deliberate murder
ers and brutal rayishers should
have no chance to breathe the
air of Kansas. Ii your party
