MUST REPORT COLLISIONS.

It will be interesting to watch the effect of the new law which requires the officials of railways to make monthly reports of all accidents that occur upon their lines to the inter- state commerce commission. The law is very comprehensive and requires "all collisions of trains, or where any train or part of train accidentally leaves the track" to be reported, and "all accidents which may occur to passengers or employees" and the re- ports must state nature and causes thereof and the circumstances con. nected herewith
 The theory of the labor organiza- tions, and particularly the railway brotherhoods, which have been press. ing this legislation upon congress for several years. is that it will make the railway people more careful and com pei them to increase the safeguards and precautions against accidents. But the general managers and super intendents and directors of a railway company are seldom personally re sponsible for accidents Accidents are usually the result of carelessnoss or the incompteney Of the hired em- ployes, the very mon who have been demanding this law It will therefore be an interesting subject. The first reports will be made for April The interstate commerce commissions will require at least a month to pre- pare the necessary blanks and instruc- tions and notify the railway eompan- ies. There is a fine of $100 for each and every days delay on the part of railway company to make report of an accident upon it's lines after thirty days.

An electric street railway system things promised to Pine Bluff in the early future, and the city sadly needs both. There is nothing which so gives Pine Bluff a setback with a stranger when he arrives here than to find that it is without rapid transit. and also without creditable building for public amusement and entertain. ment.

Charlton, Oct. 17.-Henry Miller,
the colored man who was seriously
cut up by Walter Scott, another col
ored man, about two weeks ago, in a
fight, was given his preliminary hear
ing before Major G. W. Alexander on
Wednesday and held to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury on the charge
of attempted murder, in bonds OF
$1,000 which he was unable to furnish
and is now in jail awaiting the meet
ing of the grand jury. The hearing
was adjourned from the mayors office
to the court house to accommodate
the large crowd of interested specta-
tors who were anxious to hear the
proceedings and could not gain ad-
mittance in the small office used by
the mayor. There were six witnesses
examined for the state and Mr.. Miller
did not present a single witness, waiv-
ing examination. The evidence show
ed that though Scott struck at Miller
with his fist Miller was the real Of
fender in that he at once drew a
knife, cut Scott in the face and fol-
lowing him up when he started to run,
cut him in nine places. The entire
length of the wounds was six feet and
they required seventy-two stitches to
sew them up. One cut on his face
went through the cheek and cut the
tongue while another in the back
grazed the lungs. Three doctors were
in attendance and it was thought for
several days that he would not recov.
err The trouble started over a law
suit in regard to set of dining chairs

The schools of Charlton are among
the best in the state of Iowa. There
are now about nine hundred and fifty
school children in the city and twenty
two teachers exclusive of the superin
tendent. We have four large school
houses the high school building which
was recently built costing $4,000, be
ing among the finest in the west. De
spite the four commodious buildings
the school are now in very crowded
condition, each teacher having from
thirty-five to fifty pupils under her
care which gives more work than can
be attended to. The school board and
Prof. j. B. Morris are anxious to main.
tain the present high standard of the
Charlton schools and are now contem
plating the work of fixing up two new
new rooms for the reception of pupils
hiring two extra teachers and divid
ing the pupils more evenly among al
the teachers, giving each only suffi
Gent number to allow her to give the
children the proper care and atten
ton. Charlton has one of the most
able and painstaking corps of teachers
of any public school in the state OF
Iowa and though the school taxes now
are over sixty per cent of the entire
taxes of the city the citizens are will
ing to pay their portion in anything
that will give better and convenience
in the thorough training of their chill
dren.
