In an entire year only one person
was killed on the railways of Great
Britain. In three months S45 per-
sons have been killed and 1l,162 in

Senator Kittenger, of Anderson,
Thursday, abused Senator Parks un-
mercifully because Mr.. Parks opposed
increasing the salaries of the tax COM

Parks. There is no reason why a tax
commissioner should have more than
$4,000 year.

Harry Brunke, who killed Lee
Schearer in saloon fight some months
ago at ST. Joseph, is now being lion
lied by constant throng that brings
flowers and dainties to the Jail. Shear
