idea in view that we have arranged
to form a club Of one hundred
members, each member being entitled
to the price secured through buying
one hundred at II purchase. The
manufacturers have granted extreme
low net figures and these figures will
continue IN force until n hundred

Bassett is decidedly opposed to
measures for Il more elastic currency.

Mr.. Cranmer, the iconoclaSt Of the

Independent Farmer Jones.

There is truth as well as poetry in
the following clever yerses,-in fact
too much truth. The author is r Il
Williams Of Cambria, Wis, a cousin
OFT e. Williams, of Plana, Nappears
in the Cambria Wis., News.
Tehre's farmer Jones who owns a farm,
Five hundred more or less;
They call him independent Jones,
But why 1 cannot guess.
Although at home you'd think he did
Possess some rank and fame.
But to the market follow him
You'll find he's not the same.
He jumps upon his load of grain.
To town he drives his freight
And there, he meets the merchant who
Will fix his price and weight
And while the merchantpins him down
He might a well not fret,
IStin Independent Jones is he,
Who takes what he can get.
Across the street lie makes his way,
His friend to patronize;
Ills honest earnings he will change
With him for merchandise.
The price and measure are all fixed
He does not need to fret
For Independent Farmer Jones
Will take what he can get.
But 1at'rinR words will always have
A purpose and an end,
The farmers butter and his eggs
WIN find for him a friend.
The merchants weight, his count, his
say.
His price, his all, but yet,
He's independent Farmer Jones
Who takes what he can get.
He's back for home and there to find
Ills servants ali arrayed
And ready for an evening out
or dancing and parade;
While Independent Farmer Jones
Will do the chores, and sweat,
And saying to himself, pm have
To take what 1 can get"
But, independent Farmer Jones,
You'll ne'er be minus friends
AS long az you will humble down
And take the smallest ends.
Your called an independent man,
For goodness, Jones don't fret;
You'll get d name ifnothing else,
So take what you can get.

RUSSIAN REFORMS.

The newspaper files give fuller nfor-
nation of that which the cable only
touched upon, the reforms in punish
ment, and in the police regulation of
factories, inaugurated by the Car. 1t
would appear from the fuller accounts,
that the reforms promulgated are real
reforms, even if they are neither very
radical nor very far reaching according
to our ideas. Flogging by the cudgel
and the cat-o'-nine-tails is abolished,
and in it's place is substituted longer
terms of Imprisonment, or solitary con-
finement, or in some of the lighter cases
of misdemeanor, whipping with reeds.
Flogging by the cudgel or the cat-o'-
nine-tails, according to the statements
made, was frequently equivalent to the
death penalty, and death by torture at
that. Whipping with reeds, even up to
one hundred stripes, can hardly be that,
even allowing for the variation in reeds
In other words it would appear to be
substitution of corporal punishment for
capital punishment and death by tor
ture. The other reform is democratic
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-07-23

in it's nature. It gives factory en-
ployes the right to choose representa-
tives to represent them in conference
with the factory inspectors. This
change probably sounds more of a re-
form than it really is. The right of con-
ference with factory inspectors is not
likely to be very substantial right,
where the factory inspectors are Rus
sian officials. And yet it is not at all
unlikely that however shadowy and
unsubstantial the benefit of this may
be now, it may in time become q very
substantial right and benefit. Slowly
but surely the liberalizing spirit of the
century is penetrating Russia.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-07-23

calls attention to the almost universal
interest the American people take in
creatures who do things-whether they
be men or animals. No American wo-
man mot even Martha Washington,
Dolly Madison, Clara Barton or Mrs.
Carrie Nation, ever became more wide
ly known, more talked and written
about, more embalmed i'm the proverbs
and figures of common speech, than
Flora Temple, Goldsmith Maid, Maud
s., and in only slighter degree Nancy
Hanks and AliX. Pictures of these
earlier queens of the turf were as wide
ly sold, as carefully framed and as we'll
preserved as pictures of the great wo-
men of the land. Dexter was as we'll
known and highly honred among
American horses as George Washington
was among American men.
In these later days when there are
more horses in the low record class,
when the record is being lowered by
quarter seconds instead of by seconds
as in the earlier day, it is quite likely
that none Of the equine heroes will
stand out quite as prominently as they
would, had their performances been a
decade earlier. And yet the names of
Sunol, Dan Patch, Joe Patchen, Star
Pointer, Cresceus, and Directum, are
as well and as widely known as those
of any like number of American men
not in the first rank of greatness. And
! the average man will be able to tell
/ with as much accuracy and detail
what each one of these popular hero
| horses has done as he can tell just
what made each of our secondary grade
of hero men, great.
Another tendency of the human mind
which tsese turf victories recall, is the
tendency to herorize and classicize
There can be no doubt that all through
the middle, and pretty well toward the
close Of the last century, the race track
was tabu to the code of morals and the
instincts of propriety of the great reli-
gious middle class of the American peo-
pie. To them 1T was essentially vulgar
and stepped in sinfulness. And yet tC
this public the performances of Dexter
Flora Templeton, Goldsmith Maid, and
Maud s., lifted them so far out of the
ordinary level of race horses as to fl
them for subjects, if not of polite con,
versation, at least of conversation not
inherently sinful. Dexter could be
used as a synonym in the pulpit ant

MAY CAUSE DEATH
Mail Clerk SIegel Victim of 'Ae.
cident on Rock Island
Road.
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO CARS
Nearly Every Rib in Body Fractured
Taken TO Home in Mar
settles.

Mail Clerk Slagel, one of the oldest
men in the service on the Rock Island
road, was the victim of an accident
at West Liberty, Iowa, yesterday af-
ternoon that may result in his death.
The accident happened at the Rock
Island depot at that place. The fast
mail train had just arrived from st.
Paul, and Mr.. Slagle. whose run is
between West Liberty and Chicago,
was in the act of climbing into the
mail car to start on his run, when the
fast mail train from the east came in
on another track. There was not
much space between the two tracks,
and as consequence Slagle was
caught between the two mail cars
and rolled along their entire length,
when his body dropped to the ground.
Bones Broken and Body Bruised.
Parties who witnessed the accident
were quickly at his side, and carried
him to the depot, where an eXamina-
tion of his injuries was made. 1t was
found that nearly every rib in his
body had been broken, his right arm
was broken, and the man was terri
bly, bruised in other parts of his body.
He was placed aboard the train and
taken to his home at Marseilles, III.
1t is thought that on account of his
age and the extent of his injuries. he
may not recover. Slagle is a man of
90 years and has large family.
An En- zIneer Is Injured.
While passing through the town of
Walcott, Iowa, yesterday about II
o'clock through freight train rawn
by engine 6O3. with Engineer Frank
Duncan, of this city, in charge, caus-
ed the rails to spread with the result
that the engine left the track and
rolled down the embankment. The
tender was not disturbed and the en-
tire train was left standing on the
track. The engine, however. turned
over. pinning the engineer down be-
meath it's weight. Fortunately for
him. however, he escaped with a
spTained ankle.
Engine 6O3 is one of the heaviest of
the new freight engines and is used
N the pulling of the heaviest trains,
and the great weight is thought to
have been more than the track, which
was in a poor condition, could sIIs-
tain. The track has been newly put
in position, being graded last spring
preparatory to the heavy traffic of
the fall. but the heavy rains of the
summer have softened the grade. rem
dering it extremely dangerous for the
heavier engines. Luckily for the re-
mainGer of the train. the coupling
broke between the engine and tender,
thus leaving the engine free to take
its headlong plunge down the side of
the embankment alone.
Fireman Smith leaped for his life'up.
oR. the first intimation of danger. and
thus escaped injury. but Engineer
Duncan, thinking that perhaps he
could stay the fall, remained in the
cab until he was thrown from it,
