In view of the horrible collision on
West Washington street last night be-
tween a streetcar and Big Four pas
senger train it is reasonable to pre-
dict that there will be some more
track elevation legislation at the com.
ing session of the general assembly
unless the city officials can come to
some agreement with the railway com.
panies by which the grade crossing
dangers can be averted. So many ia
tai accidents have occurred at the
railway crossings here that with this
last one the public is liable to get in
a humor that may force some kind
of protective action. The track eleva-
ton bill in the last session was de.
feated and the railway companies
promised that something should be
done as soon as possible to remove the
grade crossing danger, but as yet
there seems to be nothing doing, al
though from time to time there have
been rumors that plan for elevating
or depressing the tracks is about
ready. Coroner Tutweiler started an
inquiry to determine who is RESPONSE
BILE for the wreck last night.
Willis Hickam of Spencer, who was
here today, brought some encouraging
word to the Democratic leaders re-
garding the situation in the Second
district. The latter is known as the
Bryan district. It was the home also
of more Populists than any other dis
trict. The Republican leaders have
naturally figured that the Democratic
ticket would lose heavily in the Sec
ond because of the radical Bryan mer

that this feeling is now rapidly dying
out and that the party in the Ninth
will be united and harmonious long
before election day. He predicted
that Congressman Miers will get g
large majority and that the state tick
/ ct will win without trouble. He said
that two years ago the Democrats Of
the Second were hindered by several
bitter local quarrels which have now
been settled. Hickam declared that
the Democrats Of the Second are en-
couraged at the friendly reception OF
Parker generally and are ready to gel
in line and work for him.

Luoned the Load,

A bright-looking girl of 90 or so,
evidently not in this country more
than year or two rode UP from the
Polk street depot in a Dearborn street
horse car with nowly-landed immi-
grant. who, from facial resemblance,
seemed to be her brother. The girl
lugged the youths big valise into the
car and bent under it again when they
got off at Adams street and disap-
peared in the direction of the Union
depot, her companion lolling along at
ease by her side quite empty-handed.
She's so glad to meet him. re-
marked the conductor, that the girl
has forgotten that in this country it
isn't stylish for the women to lug
the heavy burdens. I'll bet, though,
that when they next walk out that
young man will be the beast of bur
den. Chicago Inter Ocean.

GERANIuM EASY TO GROW.
Also Is One of the Prettiest Of All
Window Plants,

all beauty is common, in sense
and | would as soon object to the sky
and the sunshine because the beauty
of them is for the enjoyment of every
body, therefore common" as to seek
to disparage a flower because it was
one that everybody could grow and
enjoy, writes Eben f. Rexford in Lip
pincott's. Anyone can undertake the
culture of the geranium with reason
able certainty of success who can
give it a good soil to grow in, water
enough to keep il always moist at the
roots, a sunny location and freedom
from frost Insects seldom attack it.
It has healthy constitution that gives
II immunity from the diseases so COM
mon to most other plants, and it will
reward you for the care it receives at
your hands hy making your window
bright with bloom as few other plants
can. Therefore you make no mistake
IN selecting it for your window garden.
But be sure to get plants that have
not been allowed to bloom during the
summer Such plants have exhausted
themselves, and, nine times out of ten,
they will insist on taking rest dur
ms the winter months. The ideal
geIanium for winter use is the plant
which has been kept steadily growing
during the summer, but has had every
bud removed as soon as seen. Such a
plant will bloom profusely from Janu-
any TO June.

LONG SIEGES IN HISTORY.
Some Gallant Defenses Made by Be-
Ieaquered Carrisons.

Che longest siege Of antiquity was
that of Ashdod by the Egyptians. Ac-
coldfng to one authority it lasted nine
teen years. Another fixes it at TWEEN
ty-nine years Tabled Troy was be-
sieged for ten years.
The siege Of Jerusalem by Titus,
A. D. TO- though not the longest, was
the most sanguinary on record. SYRIA
cuse, PA 3. c., held out against the
Romans for three years, and Carthage
resisted them, 147 B. c., for two years.
Famous among sieges was that Of Par
ma, which capitulated in 1885 after a
years investment.
Gambia, in Crete, surrendered to the
Turks In 1869 after q siege of twenty
four years, during which, it is said,
100000 were slain. c. oraltar success
fully resisted the Spaniards and
French from July Is, 1879, to Feb. 5,
1888
Among modern sieges that Of Sc
vastopol, 1886, is interesting, mas
much as the hes ed were Russians.
Sevastopol and Port Arthur are. sea
ports. When the former was invested
the Russians blockaded the harbor
with sunken battleships. When the
evacuation took place they sank all OF
their remaining ships The siege of
