President Eliot's Superb Health.

Seventy years old now. straight as an arrow, in complete possession of perfect mental and bodily health. President Eliot: or Harvard, stands a living example of what wholesome observance of the laws of health will do for the physical man. pr Eliot is the oldest college president in America-probably the oldest In the world. As leader of thought his opin- Ions on social economic. political and re- ilgious questions are quoted in all the languages of civilization. He has been at the head of Harvard for thirty-flve years, and has brought the university rom small collection of straggling buildings to stupendous college of i'm posing structures; from a narrow-minded dogmatlc school to one of the most lib eral ana oroad-minded institutions ot learning in the world.

The strength of Judre Parker.

Editorial Leader from New York Times.
 One of the earnest and influential advo- catss or the nomination of Judge Parker Tor the Presidency says of him; He does not represent the past factionai flights of his party His nomination, therefore, would not be a challenge to any put republicans That is an argument Of no little weight and moment In meas uring the availability of a candidate two things are to be considered before all others. They are. first, the effect of the nomination upon his own party: second, There Ia no element of Demoeratic pISSs pSiSjss. lon ana discord in the candidacy of Judg,, Parker. He has been a Democrat all his nIe, put mas never taken part in any fac Syoa Honsl quarTel. He was delegate to tho Natlonal Democratic Convention that nominated Mir.

Judge Parker cannot be voted for as . candidate for President without reslgning his present office. It was needless, be- cause Parker Is not the man who would hold a judicial ofEice and at the same time be a candidate for any political po- sition.

The talk about color in music almost unsettles the mind of The Montgomery, Advertiser. Few Southern newspaperS are prepared to compromise an inch on the color line.-Buffalo News.

It occurs to us that The Raleigh Morn ing Post hits it about right when it ar- gues that Mir. Bryan opposes Judge Park CT because he doesn't know anything about him, and likes Hearst because he knows so much about him.

"of two evils choose the least" is a good old saying. but the nomination of Hearst would mean that the Democrats choose both evils. They will vote for Hearst and leave Roosevelt in ofice.

Enthusiastic propagandists sometimes make amusing blunders in sending out literature. Lately the American Protec- tive League proposed to The Indianapo- lis Sentinel that 1t would supply that pa- per free with all the high tariff litera- ture 1t can use To that proposition The Sentinel replies:
 All of which, of course, is very kind and thoughtful. But there are some difficult ties in the way. The chief one is that The Sentinel is not a protection newspa- per. During its life of more than eighty two years 1t never has been an advocate of the protection theory. It is too old to learn the trick now, even if 1t were dis posed to do so, which 1t most certainly is not The Sentiners readers have never had any trouble in finding out where the paper has stood and still stands on the tariff question. We believe that the doe trines taught by the Protective Tariff League are distinctly unsound and op- posed to the best interests of the people of this country. The League so-caIlsd Is merely the collective mouthpiece of selfish interests-interests that are so fa- Vored by the tarif laws that they are able to maintain an expensive organiza- ton for the dissemination of their pernI. eous theories.
 We presmue the League will admit that the reply covers the ground nicely.

CAR RAN AMUCK

One Was Killed and Sixteen
Injured in an Awful
Wreck.
MRS, JOSEPH KEEHN A VICTIM
Her Head Was Crushed as She
Lsaped From Flying Car-Car Es-
capsd From Control Of Motorman
and Shot Down Steep Hill.

Burlington, June 6.-An electric mo-
tor while coming down the steep Val
ley street grade yesterday afternoon
broke brake beam, and the car
rushed with terrific force down the
hill to Central avenue, where 1t
jumped the track, dashed across the
pavement and crashed into q heavy
shade tree. tearing it from its roots
and badly wreckins the car. The car
was damned with people. They be-
gan to leap on as the car sped down
the hill. They struck on their heads
and shoulders or on their feet, in
many cases receiving rrightrul gashes
in the head and face, some having
legs or arms broken. Mrs. Joseph
,eehn, wife of Joseph keehn, or
keehn & Hammer. book binders and
printers, was almost instantly killed
by having her head crushed in jump
ing.
Sixteen persons we've injured. Most
OF them were so badly hurt that they
had to be taken to the hospitals or to
their homes in ambulances. A num-
Der OF them are in a dangerous condi-
ton, but it is not thought that any
further fatalities will occur. The hill
looked like a battlefield, with the in
jured scattered right and lett along
the street car tracks. Groans and
cries filed the air The severely ~
Iured were carried into the neishbor
ing houses temporarily. Mrs Keehn
died shortly after being picked up.
Physicians and citizens did all in their
power to help the injured. Mayor
Caster and a number Of policemen
took charge of the wrecked street car
and that portion of the track on
which the accident occurred.
The cause Of the accident is be-
lieved to have been broken brake
beam striking loose paving bricks
along the rails, smashing off the brake
and rendering it useless.
The mayor has ordered the track
on the fatal hill blockaded. No cars
will be permitted to run until the track
Is put in safe condition. A rigid in
vestigation of the cause of the acct
dent will be made by the coroner and
by city officials. 1t is said that the
street car company has been repeat
eddy warned that their roadbed was

GRAVES PLEADS GUILTY.
Enters Plea Of Own Accord Before
Second Trial.

Des Moines, June 6.-Charles w.
Graves. found guilty by jury Of muir
der in the first degree for the murder
of his wife and the attempt to burn
her body, and given new trial for the
offense, pleaded guilty to the charge
of manslaughter Saturday morning
and will receive his sentence for the
lesser crime next Saturday. Graves
is satisfied with the result of his plea
for a new trial
The sudden change from a verdict
of murder in the first degree at the
hands of jury after a long trial in
which the issues were fought over
with persistence, to a conviction by
his own acknowledgment of a crime
much smaller in degree, was sur
prise to the hundreds OF Des Moines
people who have watched the case
with interest
His sentence has been set for Sat
urday next that he may be given an
opportunity to settle up his affairs
with his sons. His property on the
east side, where the tragedy occurred
has been transferred, presumably to
cover the expenses OF the long trial
He may receive a sentence OF about
! eight years, which is the maximum
penalty for manslaughter.
The offer that Graves should be al
! lowed to plead guilty to the charge OF
mansIaughter. came from his attorn
| ey. Walter McHenry, and had beer
considered by County Attorney Miller
for some days before it was accepted
Judge McHenry IN hearing the motor
| for a new trial stated positively thai
| he would not countenance verdict
! OF guilty in the first degree on the
evidence submitted. This being the
case, Mr.. Miller after deliberation &C
cepted the plea of manslaughter in
asmuch as Graves could not be foupt
guilty OF anything graver. even SHOULD
he be tried again. "
Graves, who with hot scalding tear.
in his eyes, protested that he was be
ing prosecuted for foul murder o
the woman he loved best and be
moaned the fate That led him to b,
arrested for the crime, told how h,
committed the slaughter OF his wife
He no longer cried aloud that he wa
immaculate and that his voice wa
pure in protesting innocence, but tn
cringing hypocrisy was cas-. aside an
Graves was himself again.

DEATH" he said.
This was manslaughter.

WRECK ON MILWAUKEE.
One Man Killed and Score c
Others Injured.

Others Injured.
Perry, June 3.-East-bound Mil
waukee passenger No. 6 struck a
washout a short distance east of Bou-
ton at 10 O'Clock Wednesday night.
sending the mail car, two passenger
coaches, one tourist car. one dining
car and two Pullman cars into the
ditch.
Robert Shaffer a soldier. living at
Milwaukee. received fatal injuries
aud a score of other passengers were
more or less seriously injured Shat
fer died at 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The train was running at a 30-mile
clip when the washout was struck.
The engine miraculously kept the
track, the coupling breaking. The
only car to remain on the rails was
the private car of Superintendent
Foster of Chicogo, which was attach
ed to the rear end Of the train.
News of the wreck was wired to
this city shortly after it occurred, and
a wrecking and hospital train was
sent to its scene at once. The injur-
ed were brought here Immediately
All will recover.
Shaffer met a terrible death. A
broken rail tore through the floor Of
the smoking car in which he was sit
ting, splitting his head open and scat
tering his brains about. The other
passengers were injured by being
thrown against the floors and seats.
The cars were not badly damaged.
They were damned at their couplings
and the smoking car was somewhat
torn by the broken rails. but from the
standpoint of rolling stock the loss
will not be great.
