A Wabash Wreck.

There was a fearful wreck on
the Wabash railroad, two miles
west of Warrenton, Tuesday af.
ternoon. The train was known
as the st. Paul limited en- route
from DesMoines to st. Louis. The
two rear coaches, a diner and
passenger coach went down an
embankment % feet high. Eight
persons were killed and more
than 30 injured, 18 of whom
were expected to die before
morning. The railroad officials
estimated that there were 500
passengers on the train. The
wrecked coach was a. special
from LaPlata and was loaded
with passengers for the worlds
fair. Three of the persons killed
were from LaPlata, three from
Macon and two from Hunting
don, Pa. Of the dangerously
injured IA were from LaPlata,
three from Macon, two from
Moberly and one from Kirksville.
The only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. A. Hebeler of Macon
died from injuries. The father
and mother were injured and
prostrated with grief. The heavy
dining car crashed on top of the
coach and the majority of those
killed and injured were passen-
gers on the, latter. There was a
short curve in the track where
the wreck occurred and it is
supposed a wheel on the rear
coach brokesand threw1it off the
track, The citizens of Warren
ton and vicinity of the wreck
did nobly in caring for, the dead
and wounded. The doctors for
20 miles above and below the
wreck were notified and render
ed all the assistance in their
power. The wonder is that any.
one on the derailed cars escaped.

INVESTIGATION OF STATE EX-
PENSES..

1t is easy in this age to raise the cry of
extravaganza and even Of graft" These
charges have ever been popular resort
and will unquestiouably continue to be
the hope Of otherwise hopeless aspirants
for public honors At the same time hui
man nature is so constituted that it
Heerns to be easier to believe a person is
guilty of the offcnsc charged. than that
the charge is made without any shadow
OF foundation, It follows a matter of
course that when a charge of extrava-
gance or Of something worse is brought
against public official or a public ad-
ministration. the only satisfactory out
come for all concerned is an investigation
to establish or refute the charges.
Now that charges Of this character
have been brought against the republican
administration in Vermont. as well as
against thos. of New York ard Massa chu-
sets, II is to T." hoped that the investiga-
lion asked for in connection with the bill
Introduced by Representative Miles will
be made so complete that at its conclusion
there will he no possible chance for the
repetition Of the cry. Let the committee
do its work thoroughly and as promptly
rs is consistent with such thoroughness,
IN order that Vermont may be relieved
from irresponsible clamor. If there is
extravaganza or grating, let the fact be
proved. II there is neither, let that fact
be proved so conclusivcly that further
din of this sort Will be enoctually slenced.

ANOTHER oLEoMARGARINE FIGHT

That the interchangeable legislation
pushed through Congress after n deter
mined struggle through the efforts of
Senator Redicld Proctor and other mem
bers OF the Vermont delegation in Con
gress. Is thoroughly checking the manu-
facture Of spurious butter IL evident from
the fact that a movement has been begun
the compound of oil, fat and grease to
secure the overthrow OF existing Iegisla-
,ton protecting the dairy interests
throughout .ne country.
George W. Russell OF Worcester, Mass.
who is said TO have been In the cleo bust
ness for twenty eight years, and who is
the treasurer and mouthpiece of the oleo
organization. is sending out circulars to
every dealer in oleo in the country, solicit
ing funds with which to prosecute the
work OF bringing about the repeal Of the
anti-oleo law now in operation. In other
words every dealer in this product is
asked TO contribute the sum of SIS for the
purpose OF supporting a lobby which will
probably not be entirely unlike that
against which our Vermont senator's and
congressman were forced to contend. when
they secured the passage OF the existing
law through both branches of Congress.
1t Will be recalled that the law now in
force imposes a tax of ten cents "A pound
on oleomargarine colored in imitation of
butter. whereas uncoored oleo bears a
merely nominal tax, which does not inter-
fere with its manufacture and sale.
The manufacturers of this oleaginous
combination found that they could palm it
off on people for butter only when it was
coored III imitation of the genuine dairy
product. and when the tax made it I'M
profitable to sell coored oleomargarine
these men rapidly found their occupation
gone. Very naturally the manufacturers
are intensely anxious to remove the tax
on colored oleo, and they viii make Il de-
tcrmined struggle, as forcshaduwed by
Mr.. Russelis statement, to secure re-
peal of the law at the coming session of
Congress.
The farmers OF Vermont and of other
States will continue to lind in Senator
Proctor. chairman OF the United States
Senate committee on agriculture an able
AS we'll as a loyal and persistent champion
of their interests, and it goes without
saying that his efforts will be ably second
ed by Senator Dillingham; and by Con-
gressmen Haskins and Foster
