A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. - Bruce
Hawkins, rancher who lives near
Baker City, Ogn., was probably fatally
injured Saturday night, from very
peculiar accident. He was going to
his ranch from town in a wagon, his
wife driving the team, while Hawkins
was holding in position a piano, which
was the principal load in the vehicle.
In crossing over a siding. the piano
was tipped to the ground, Hawkins
falling under it, the immense weight
crushing his skull. II is feared the
injury will prove fatal. He had been
married only two weeks before this
sad event.

that another trouble arises when one

many plate-glass windows from hail

tin roofs, and knocked shingles off of
other buildings, flooding interiors at
great loss. Topeka people moved out
of their homes, where there was any
possibility of danger from high water,
while many felt confident that the
May flood would in no way be repeat
ed. The proverbial "ounce of pre-
vention," was, however, in evidence
among those who were so astounded
at the extent of the former calamity.

Which Cause the More Probable P

The Olymptdn publishes letter
written by somebody who call himself
Joe Young and is evidently suffering
from a lop. sided brain. He claims
that the enactment of the gambling
law was the result of his own petition
to the " Living God, who, in response,
has delivered the enemies into his
hand" He asserts that this consum-
nation was the result of refusal of q
Mr.. Christian (what misnomer for a
saloon keeper in SeattleD to allow
" Protestant papers" to be sold in his
house. Young says that he told him
that: at is not question of what
you want to do, but what you will
have to do. If you are not wise, or
sociable with me, will cause darkness
in your house and even crash in this
State He said, Let the crash come,
you have no power over me- So ac-
cordingingly it has been brought
about"
This is the substance of nearly q
column of foolish Boosting of some
body, who, if his mind is not seriously
awry, finds amusement or pleasure in
exploiting the mysticism of alleged &C.
cult power. He ignores the fact, how.
ever, that plain, logical, matter-of-
fact explanation of the passage of the
gambling act was given at the time,
which was supported by circumstantial
evidence enough to sustain it without
resort to any supernatural agency. 1t
WAS alleged that the gambling act was
held up, like an express package, for a
C. .. d. delivery; that George Steven
son. the Ankeny manager, who was
under untold obligations to the green
cloth fraternity for fsvors rendered,
had proffered to see the measure quiet
ly laid to rest without wasting" the
liberal corruption fund that had been
provided for its defeat; that the GUS
todian of this fund was present, armed
and equipped for lobby work, but was
assured by Stevenson that his services
were not needed. 1t seems, however.
that the astute gentleman who had so
dexterously landed the Senatorial fish,
literally counted his chickens before
they had passed through the incuba.
tor, for the legislative regulators soon
tired of waiting, their Unsuitable NAV
not yet being filled to repletion. 1t
was openly charged that the gambling
act was passed in spirit of retaliation
for the failure of q ghost to walk at
some one of the frequent dark seances
held.
Here is a fanciful and practical
of the causes which led to
the passage OF the gambling act, and
we ask, in all candor, is the more pro.
bable inspiration or evaporation? If
there is anybody who has sat few
hours in either house and witnessed |
the antics OF either branch OF our late |
lamented Legislature, who can place
his hand upon his heart and declare
that he thinks the "Living God"
would accept such mediators for good
on the retaliatory appeal of . Joe
Young, or anybody else who uttered it
in form Of curse for q refussl to allow
the propaganda to ride rough.shod |
over business tolerated by custom if
not sanctioned BY law, we would like
to. see him. A just conception of
Deity forbids . belief that petitions
uttered in the spirit admitted by Joe
Young would ever reach the throne of
grace.

What Hope From Precedent?

Judge Lochren's decision in the L.
S. Circuit Court sgains. the State of
Minnesota, in it's case against the
Northern Securities Company and the
merger railroads, although dismissing
complaint of the State, would, under
ordinary circumstances, cut very little
figure in the final decision of the mat
ter by the tribunal of last resort, the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The Federal suit, in which the Sc
curities company was beaten was a
prosecution for violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, passed by the Ma
tional Congress, and the late case, in
which the company wins, was a State
suit, based on an allegation that de.
PENDANTS had violated acts OF the Leg
islature forbidding consolidation Of
competing lines; contentious entirely
different in their nature and bearing.
Neither decision was decisive and have
to be appealed and the final judgment
will emanate from the highest court.
Now, we are confronted, however,
with the gravest doubts and perplex-
tiles. 1--WE have no better way of
judging of the future than the past"
said an eminent statesman, and in
judging by the past what have we to
encourage hope OF any action that
will be counter to corporate power?
The conflicting greenback decisions,
by bare majority, created by execu-
tive appointment; the electoral COM
mission vote, which it was decreed
should stand 7 to s from inception of
the scheme, and action on the income
tax bill, defeated by change of one
vote in the nighttime, show what an
and uncertain tribunal will
be final arbiter, and how utterly at
fault its decisions sometimes are.

field it must be under other auspices
and with different umpire than the
present court that is welded to its
idols. At present, corporate greed
