C. r, HUTCHINGS.

There is little doubt of the election of {. f.
Hutchings to congress from tie Second district.
Even wel-informed Republ cans concede 1t.
He grows in strength eac'' day. He is an
honorable, upright man, AMI enjoys the full
confidence of those who know him best. Mr..
Hutchings is not politician, and, while he
has always taken lively interest III the affairs
of government and has contributed literally OF
his means to bring about better conditions po-
litically, he has never asked for anything at
hands of the people. He only became can
didate for congress at the earnest solicitation OF
his friends, who recognize his true worth and
Gee in him valuable material for useful mem
Der Of congress. He will be elected.
Col. Charles McCru.n has been selected as
chairman of the congressional committee, and
be will put up winning campaign for Mr..
Hxtchings.

Something Rotten.
From the Olathe Tribune.

From the Olathe Tribune.
The following editorials from two staunch
Republican papers indicate that there is some
timing decidedly wrong in the way our state af-
ia,fs at Topeka have been conducted during
The past two years. 1t is evident that some
thing more than new man in the governor S
chair is needed:
II. B. Kelly, OF Mcpherson, one of the most
prominent men III the state OF Kansas for the
past thirty or forty years, is capable and
honest man.
The Comanehe county school bonds we're
put in his hands for sale Having become the
agent of the county, he got from them state
ment of the issue of bonds, with all the facts,
which be fairly stated to would-b be purchasers.
Investigation of the issue of the bonds showed
them to be fraudulent, aud of course with
these statements, they could not be sold.
They were afterwards refunded, new bonds
issued and were quoted at about 60 cents on
the dollar, but wore not sold
When ex-Attorney. General GODDARD got hold
of them, the papers say, he was offered SIS 900
if ne would negotiate the bonds. He push ed
the matter through with the help of Wells,
Coleman Burrow, Kelly and Dayhoff, as re-
ported.
Now comes Wells, the auditor of state, and
says: ~ have agreed to protect these officers
until after election
This statement plainly shows that there is
trickerv and corruption in the negotiation OF
these bonds. They were sold at a profit of
about $1,000, and when the governor tries 10
investigate the matter the investigator is driven
from the office OF Auditor Wells into the cloak
room. And there he remains to continue his
investigation.
We submit to the intelligent people of Kan.
sas the question that the above statement OF
facts is sufficient evidence tNat the sale of
bonds was illegal and corrupt.
1t is very plain to the simplest man in the
state that these men, if innocent, would not
need the protection OF Auditor Wells aud re-
qulre him to project these officers until after
election.
Godard's statenen. is a PLAIN admission that
he was ready to accept the S. 900. Coleman,
BErrow and others kept mum. Under these
circumstances, the conviction IS as stroug as
Holy Writ thai rotten corruption prevailed in

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

horrible wreck occurred on the Missouri
Pacific railroad, Monday morning, near War
rensburg, Mo. A collision occurred between a
freight train and the second section of pas
senger train bound for the worlds fair. Both
trans were running at high rate OF speed
Twenty-nne people were instantly killed
and many were seriously hurt, some fatally
Most of those killed and injured were Kansans
There was no baggage train next 10 the en-
CINE, but the was filled with passengers
many of whom were standing.
The hrSt section of the passenger train
passed the freight train as it stood on side
track. The passenger train displayed led
light, the danger signal, but the freight train
pulled out and went west, meeting the second
second section of the passenger train in what
is called dead Mans Bend" Here the terri
bic accident occurred which caused the dea Ii,
of so many peasure-seekers
According to reports, some OF the men Of the
freight crew were asleep.
Speaking OF the accident, the Kansas City
Star says, editoraly:
''As result of the doubt and uncertainty of
sleepy freight train crew on the siding at
Knobnoster regarding the movement of passing
trans, twenty-nine persons were kill on Sun
day night and fifty four injured.
cit is thus made clear that the horrible
wreck Warrensburg, with its cruel sacri-
fee of human life, could have been avoided
1t was like the vast majority of similar disas-
tiers, the ii ute of carelessness. 1t was rot due,
in any sense, to inevitable conditions The
innocent victims who persisted were killed be-
cause OF the lack Of adequate precautions for
their protection.
1.-The car III which the greatest mortality
occurred was day coach, running next to the
engine. 1t was packed SO tnll of people that
many persons were standing. This afforded
the opportunity for an abundant haIves, of
death.
All of this is as sinful and wanton as any.
thing can be, beCause It was wholly unneces-
sary. The wreck happened a road which
is owned by rich company. The earnings
and profits OF the corporation sufficiently
ample to allow some OF the prominent holders
of sock-potably the G0uds--to make large
show of philanthropy. 1t would be perfectly
feasible, by the employment of the block sys
TEN, to protect the trains against the possibil-
ity of collisions.
'Such safeguards should be made com pusoty
Oh ali railroads. Ii the corporations that daily
carry thousands of people are not animated to
tu performance OF their duty by the instincts
OF humanity and a civilized regard for human
life, then the law should step in and assert Its
authority. The public is sick and horror
stricken with the awful railway slaughter that
is constantly going on in this country Are
the people ready to enforce the remedy which
is in their own hands?''
