The Vests awake.
Conditions prevailing throughout the
country for some time past gave the
Democratic leaders reason to believe
that they had only to cOnfine their
attention to the Eastern States to In.
sure victory, and they laid the fiat.
tering unctiOn to their souls that by
reason of the personality Of their can
didate they were sure of the East.
Returns from Maine and Vermont
have gone far to prove that the Demo.
cratic candidate IL strong In the East.
but they have not been sufficiently re.
assuring to convince the leaders that
they can rely upon them as IN absO-
Lutte presage Of victory. On the con.
trary, we hear now OF preparations to
renew activities In the West. National
Chairman Taggart il vending his ii.
lent way toward Chicago, and national
western headquarters In this city are
likely to be- one of the developments
of the campaign In the near future.
The West will not be abandoned by
the Democrats.
On the other hand, Mr.. COrtely0u,
the chairman of the Republican ma
tlonal committee, has, as we have not.
ed in another column. sounded n note
OF warning to the Republicans of Iii.
pois and of the middle West States.

The growing tendency OF business

higher education In business gives
more than usual interest to the report
of the national commissioner of edu-
cation for 1908, which exhibits In a
striking way the growth of the college

try. Notwithstanding the claims Of
those who have devoted themselves to

worthy of especial attention. The

grand jury today for attempting to
pass counterfeit $40 bills. Her daugh-

MOTORM MAN INJURED
CHARLES MORGAN HAS LEG
BROKEN AS RESULT OF
STREET CAR ACCIDENT.
Electric Car Crashed Into Wabash
Freight Car on Sheridan Avenue
Car Badly Wrecked-Passensers and
Conductor Not Hurt.

Motorman Charles z. Morgan was
severely injured and had miraculous
escape from being killed outright as a
result of an electric car colliding with
a box car which was being switched
across Sheridan avenue on the Wa
bash track in South Ottumwa about
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Morgan sustained compound
fracture of the left leg above the
ankle and although the front of the
car was splintered none of the other
occupants were injured.
At the time of the accident the street
car was running north on Sheridan
avenue at about the usual rate of
speed. Motorman Morgan saw the
cars standing on the railroad track
near the Wabash depot, but says that
they were stationary at that time.
He saw the switchman signal the
train crew, but thought he meant for
the street car to come thead.
When the switch engine backed the
cars across Sheridan avenue he threw
the reverse lever, but was unable to
prevent the electric car from crashing
into the train.
Stayed With the Car.
Mr.. Morgan did not jump but stayed
with the car and did what he could
to prevent the accident The open
summer car struck the box car with
terrific force. The front of the electric
car Nffs badly demolished and to those
who witnessed the accident or saw
the remnants of the car afterwards 1t
seemed almost miracle that the
moterrnan was not killed outright.
Mr. Morgan was carried into the
residence of F. P. Baer, 23S Sheridan
avenue, and DR.. A. o. Williams, who
was driving along the same street and
was within few hundred feet OF the
car when the accident occurred, was
called and gave the necessary medical
attention. The injured man was re-
moved to his home, PA South Moore
street, in the ambulance and today l:
reported to be getting along as well a:
could be expected. 1t is thought tina
an amputation Of the injured membe
will not be necessary.
