A MAN KILLED AT MANILA.
Kansas City Man the Victim of a
Fatal Accident of the Milwaukee
on Wednesday Evening.

| Robert Fuller, laborer, whose home
was in Kansas City, Missouri. was acci.
dentally killed by the cars on Wednesday
evening of last week just as the Milwaukee
train, No 6, was entering Manila. Fuller
had signed a contract to work for the
Milwaukee at Defiance. He started from
| Omaha in the afternoon, but in some way
was carried past his destination. Just as
the train was entering Manila the con-
ductor noticed him and companion who
was with him and aroused them from their
sleep and told them they had been carried
past Defiance and must get off at the next
station Fuller got up from his seat and
before the conductor noticed what he was
doing he stepped to the front of the
smoking car. The car ahead was the bag
gage car, which has but narrow plat
form and no vestibule Fuller evidently
did not notice this and he stepped off,
falling between the cars, the wheels pass
ing over his legs. He was quickly cared
for and the crushed limbs wsre amputat-
ed, but he could not stand the operation
and died at two o'clock in the morning.
His mother. living at Kansas City. was
notified, and later the remains were ship
ped to that city.
| It is said that he was intoxicated at the
time of the accident and that this was un-
doubtedly the cause of his fatal misstep.
The moral has been pointed so many
times as to become trite and we will spare
our readers repetition, never -the-less the
sad story of this young man will do to
think about.

THE pRImAcY OF DOLLARS.

Newport, Rhode Island, has long re-
garded as the summer home of the Ameri-
can snob of the more aggravated type.
The aggregation which now occupies the
cottages at that place during the summer
time has petitioned the Legislature for a
new charter for the proposed town of
South Newport. alleging that they are an :
noyed by idle pleasure seekers and mere
common folks. They also request rep
resentative and senator in the legislature
which members shall represent South
Newport exclusively. They evidently feel
that no one representing ordinary people
is fit to occupy the high pedestal of honor
which is the privilege OF the person who
guards the interests of afauencey.
The possessor of riches is entitled to its
advantages, under the present system of
law and property holding. No one pre-
tending to be law abiding can consistently
attempt to limit the freedom of the rich in
the disposition of their wealth. 1t would
necessitate the readjustment of our entire
system of Jurisprudence and civil govern
ment
There is one province of activity, how
ever, which is by law, and should be, ex-
empt from the domination of those poss-
essed of much property and credit. 1t is
the domain of government. 1t is the right
of every individual to live wherever he
chooses. and to engage in such pursuits as
he may see fit, provided he does not thereby
endanger the public health or morals, and
he pays his share of the revenue which
improvement and regulation requires In
theory his voice is as strong as that of the
strongest member of the community
The attempt of opulent people to give
voice to their material possessions in
state affails is subversive of the public
veal, and abhorrent to the sense of justice.
1t involves the elevation of secondary
things to the altitude of the primary and
sole consideration in all government and
association Of mankind. Property is dead,
inert matter: human beings of infinitely
higher essence. and should direct every

We are advised from an authoritive
source that the greatest difficulty the rail-
roads have to meet now is to dispose of
their earnings in such way as not to
arouse the public. They are fairly run
ming over with prosperity. They are
making extensive betterments and hiding
surplus in every way possible and still
their dividends are large. So far they
have refused to try the expediment of re-
ducing rates. They have millions for de-
fense, but not a cents worth of prosperity
to divide with the public. -Glidden

According to the very best informa-
tion obtaipable, we pass this way but
once. and when we pass into the valley of
he shadow, all our earthly belongings
will be left behind Not COW, nor a
sheep. nor an acre Of land, not dollar
of money will go into the grave with us.
Why then should men race through life
in mad fight for gold, brushing all the
better things aside, when at last it must
be unloaded at the tomb? Would 1t not
be better plan to put flower into the
hand of some sad-hearted human being
struggling along the road of life, than to
clinch an almighty dollar until cold death
forced US to relinquish it? -Bode Bugle,

John Cownie declares that Iowa far
mers have lost 100. ooo, 900 bushels of corn
as result Of poor seed. $40, 900. 900 is
the price he places on this carelessness.
These figures are doubtless not far from
correct The problem is for each indivi-
dual farmer to figure out his share of this
loss and then find remedy. 1t would be
good plan to begin looking after next
year's seed now

The Taggart divorce trial has reached
stage which is positively nauseating. The
press should eliminate the disgusting de-
tails of the weakness and vice of charact-
erless people. Enough has come to light
to stamp these people too low for the con-
sideration of self respecting people. No
good comes from holding up to the lime
; light the frailties of such folks.

The Japanese mob which has so stren-

shown their pride and patriotism earlier

posing themselves to Russian bullets.

oMAHAADoPTs POPULAR THEME
FOR FALLFESTiv,TIES.

1t was happy thought that prompted
the knights of Ak-Sar Ben to adopt
Fraternity" as the theme of their annual
fall entertainment.
1t seems remarkable to us, that the idea
of a fraternal week has not occurred to
them before.
1t would be hard to find more fruitful
source from which to draw the material
for magnificent electrical display than
the symbolism and legendry of the
fraternal orders.
In devoting the electrical parade en-
tirely to the fraternal societies, Omaha
has paid them compliment that should
win their friendly appreciation.
The parade will take place at night on
o ctober 5tn and will be composed of the
following subjects:
l. The world of Mystery. 2. Grand
Army of the Republic. 3. Mystic Shriners
4. Odd Fellows. A. O. U. w. Is Elks.
7. Eagles. S. Royal Arcanum 9 Red

knights of Pythias. I2. Royal Achates.
13. Modern Woodmen of America. ID.
Turner's. 15.Danish Brotherhood. 16.
Maccabees. II. Knights of Columbus.
IS. Scottish Clan. 10. Foresters. 90.
90. King Ak-Sar-Ben XI. XI.
Handsome prizes will be given the de-
gree teams making the best appearance in
the day parade on October A. A prize will
be given the team coming to Omaha from
the greatest distance.
