err to the railway company or to the
travelling public. II rule should be
made that unless a passenger isl pro-
vided with proper and suitable accom-
modations he should not be required to
pay, TRANSFORMATION therefor 1t might IN
many ways greatly embarass the rail-

sioners can see where That would or
might create much dissension or dis
satisfaction between the public ana the
common carrier but unless there Is
more attention given to this sup)ect
by the common carrier, and more am
pie provision made whereby the con-
ductor or some other competent or
capable person may know the true Sit

bring into requisitlon addltlohai

railroad commissioners Of the state
feel as though more stringent and ade-
uuate rules than are now in force WIN
in the state should be provided.
Accidents.
'Under the present statute the rail-
way companies within the state are not
required to report to the railway COM
missioners the accidents which may Oc-
casion serious injury or death, but IN
nearly every instance that has been
done at the request of the commission
ers. Notwithstanding the improved
and better equipment Of railways so
far as the coupling and other devices
are concerned. there is an extremely
large number of persons injured and
killed. occasioned by the operation OF
railways each year" says the board.
1T is not always an easy matter 10 de-
termine whether the injury or death OF
a person was occasioned by his own
fault or negligence or the fault or neg
ligence of the railway company ana
sometimes we are fearful that that
question enters into the consideration
Of the accident to too large an extent.
The taking or losing of human life Is
the most appalling thing which can
happen in the operation of railways.
Everything should be done to eliml-
nate as far as possible the possibility
of these accidents"

the matter, and where are your
clothes?" to which the little girl re-
piled, MY clothes are all burned up.

your little girl any more" Medical aid
proved of no value, and the brave lit
tie girl, who had not screamed at all,
died at about in the afternoon.

Mystery of the Tragedy at Russell Is
Cleared Up.
Charlton, Dec. 6.-The coroner's jury
in the case of Miss Rose Dixon Of Rus
sell, who was fatally shot at her home
Monday morning, returned, a verdict
of suicide. Charles Atha, her sweet
heart, who was lying asleep with his
head In her lap, was not arrested. His
explanation was that the girl must
have taken his revolver from his pock-
ct while he was asleep, and he says
that he did not awaken until after the
shot was fired.
Three Russell doctors who knew the
girl were on the jury, and 1t is their
opinion that she did the deed in fit OF
