and two passenger coaches were
badly smashed and a couple of
Pullmans left the track. j. M.
Bailey, one of the oldest and most
popular engineers on the road was
killed; with him riding on the en-
gine was Master Mechanic A. E.
Taber, who was also killed. A
couple passengers were killed and
some twenty were injured, many
of them seriously. A freight wreck
blocked the main line at Wiokes
and trains were going around the
wreck using the siding. Bailey had
orders to slow up there but he ov-
erlooked them with the fatal result
here related. Among the wounded
is Ed. Beisbarth, of De Soto, a
grocery drummer. His injuries
are said to be very serious, but
hopes are entertained for his re-
covery.
The closing exercises of the Pi-
lot Knob Public Schools were held
last Friday evening. The main
school room was filled to overflow
ing at an early hour and promptly
at 1880 the initial number on the
programme was given. The little
ones, as well as those of more ad-
vanced years, did we'll in their
various parts. Dialogue, declama-
ton, song, solo and chorus, were
entertainingly rendered. Of course
| am not going to attempt a seriat-
i'm account of the proceedings. I
could not do that without indulging
in so much praise that those who
were not present might think was
just trying to say nice things. In
a word, then, the whole affair re-
flected great credit upon teachers
and pupils alike. All were earn
est, happy and successful in their
efforts to please. / like school ex-
hibitions; they show far the more
of the life that is worth living than
do the utmost pomp and circum-
stance of military display. God
loves the little ones, and let us not
abate our endeavors to point out
the better way! With such teach
ers as have conducted the Pilot
Knob schools the past year true
progression is made-advance-
ment toward the happy age when
each shall be willing servant to the
welfare Of his brother and all shall
rejoice in the sway of truth, virtue
and knowledge.

In his message to congress, Mr.. Roose-
welt recommended the appointment OF a
commission to report on the subject Of
the ship subsidy on the ground that
differences of opinion" have hitherto
prevented agreement on bill. The
New York Evening Post says that "but
in fact there are just two opinions-that
Of those who want the treasury to
come to the aid of the shipping trust,
and those who do not. The president
ought to be able to say which he
favors." Perhaps the differences Of
opinion" to which Mr.. Roosevelt re-
ferred, related to those who favored q
subsidy amounting to 100000 per
year, and that OF those who favored a
subsidy amounting to $S,999,9 per
year.

a money stringency.

The superstitiously inclined are point
ing Mr.. Roosevelt to the fact that tie
next national convention of the republic
can party will be Its thirteenth. They
add to this-to them-sinister fact the
other fact that no vice presided who
succeeded through the death OF his chief
has never been nominated and elected
president to succeed himself. These
superstitious people feel that this makes
combination that is sure to result
disastrously to the house OF Roosevelt.
Ii they add to this combination the other
and well attested fact that the people
are growing rather weary OF words not
backed up by deeds, they will have a
resultant com animation which will indeed
be hard to beat.

The Sioux City Tribune strikes clear
note when it says that the trouble with

act as il they think they have already
earned their salaries in the party ser.
vice" The Tribune further says that
'they wouldn't bother their heads with

and probably couldn't if they would. "
There is entirely too much truth in the
Tribune's statement concerning the

contains entirely too much political
chicanery and too little business method.

CITY FINANCES.

We are through with the old council
and any references that this paper may
make to it, or i's acts. will not in any
way reflect on the character or ability
OF the gentlemen who composed the late
body. We have this however to saw
that the new council is to be commenced
for the manner in which it is taking the
bull by the horns and letting the citizens
know the exact state OF the city s
finances. Chairman Jones, of the
finance committee makes the statement
that the city has new an Indebtedness
OF S2I coo, which added to $4,000. back
on money due the state, indicates n state
OF finances that needs careful handling.
We do not entirely agree with the sug-
gestion, to entirely abandon the issuing
OF books from the city library even for
yea, but the question is how can the
council pay the $500 neces airy TO meet
the annual expense OF maintaining II.
With the waierworks that must be
attended TO, and the general running
expenses OF the city, which must be met,
the finance comm ttee has a problem to
solve that to say the least, will occupy
all OF their spare time.
As a suggestion, would ii not be well
ii the library committee were instructed
to find quarters not as expensive as the
present, have the room open say two or
three evenings each week. for the dis
tribution OF books, thus reducing the
expenses to about one fourth OF the
present annual outlay.
1t is difficult under present knowledge
OF the city's income, to formulate any
plan that will Immediately help the
conncl, so the assertion OF Mr.. Jones,
that under existing circumstances, the
city will have to not only go slow but
possibly to stop for the present, further
outlay. The assets from the water sup.
ply cannot very we'll be alienated from
work OF repairing and improving the
plant, and this fund which in time past
was drawn on, in exicencies, is now out
OF the question. The problem now be.
fore the city is really serious one.

Constitutonality OF Law Maequereau uphelt
In zenner Case.

The case from Chehals county, where
Frank Zenner, who is under sentence OF
three years in the penitentiaiy for living
off the earnings of fallen woman, petit
toned for writ OF habeas corpus, was
decided Monday against the petitioner.
The constitutonality of the act Of the
last legislature, known as the Macquer-
eau law, was thereby brought to a test.
The title was claimed 20 be insufficient
and it was contended that it violated the
,urteenth amendment to the federal
constitution in that discrimination was
made between males and females who
may live off the earnings Of such women.
The supreme court finds the title sufii-
cient and that the lay is regulation of
an unlawful and immoral practice. The
privileges and immunities referred to by
the federal constitution refer to such as
are unlawful,

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Republican Factions Divided Upon
Plans to Skin the Public.

Republican Factions Divided Upon
PlanA TO Skin the Public.
When doctors disagree, 1t is gen.
orally disastrous to the patient. As
the Wall street financial specialists
cannot unite on what financial legisla.
ton the next congress should enact, II
may be disastrous to the overloaded
stomach Of the stock market The
Wall street doctors appear to be d.
vided into two camps, those who have
the cash and those who have the un-
digested securities. The cash crowd
are pretty much confined to the Rookie
Teller interests and their allied banks.
The opposing faction are known as the
Morgan interests They hold enor-
nous blocks Of the watered stocks Of
railroads and industrial or trust cor
porations. and the banks back Of them
have loaned to the limit on such Sc
curities. OF course the Morgan crowd
ara constantly demanding that congress
initiate the currency by what is known
as the asset plan. The Rockefeller in
terests are more conservative, and their
agent in the United States senate, Sem
ator Aldrich. is preparing bill to meet
their views. which Is to legalize and
make permanent the present enormous
loans which the treasury department
has made to the banks without inter-
est. and to make the present plan more
advantageous to the banks OF issuing
currency based on bonds.
~
and the farmers and the artisans and
workingmen. who have no interest in
Wall street or the fluctuations Of stocks
and bonds, any Of the proposed legisla-
ton will be disastrous. 1t will. as It
Is intended to do. give the money kings
q more firm hold Of the manipulation
OF the money Of the country and over
tax the public to pile up large sur
plus for the benefit Of the few.
The policy pursued by the present
and last administrations Of the retire
ment Of the greenbacks and the re-
funding Of United States bonds with
the large premium paid to the banks
has about exhausted the resources Of
the United States treasury to aid the
banks. Secretary Shaw has lndeed eX-
ceeded his lawful powers by accepting
other securities than United States
bonds to secure the loans to the banks
of the surplus. which loans now exceed
$3.50. 900. 600 and upon which enormous
sum the people receive no interest.
The difference of opinion Of the Re-
publican factions on the financial queS-
ton will probably be harmonized by
the coming congress. but it BODIES i'll
for the taxpayer that President Roose-
welt, who is trying TO arrange pro-
gramme that will be satisfactory. is
taking counsel with George W. Perkins
Of the banking firm OF ]. 2. Morgan &
Co. and with II. C. Frick Of the steel
trust. The recommendations Of these
trust nagnates at their late visit TO
oyster Bay are hardly likely TO be for
the welfare OF the taxpayers. The
only hope for the people is that when
thieves fall out honest men get their
dues" but even then they have to
fghi for them.
