Accident Board of Inquiry on
UNION PACIFIC


The Union Pacific has heretofore in
vestigated rigidly all of It's accidents
that occurred by a Board of Inquiry
of its officers and employees but it has
decided, in addition to its. own Board
of Inquiry, as an experiment, to invite
outsiders Of local reputation, standing
or integrity, to be present at and join
in such findings, either in a majority
or minority, as the facts develop from
the results of the investigation
The purpose of this is an innovation
of present practices but it is desired
to fully establish in the public's mind
the past and future sincerity of the
Railway Company to reach the exact
cause of the trouble regardless of the
responsibility, and'it is hoped that the
public can have no question as to the
findings of such tribunal and it is
further hoped that the tendency hereto
fore to employ unfair and unjust
criticism because of corporate connec-
tion will hereafter make necessary the
attack of other peoples reputation
beside that of the employees who could
have no purpose to conceal mistakes
directly attributable to the employees
and officers of the company.
Therefor it is hoped that before the
press arrive at conclusions that they
will await facts as to the responsibility,
which will be promptly furnished.

Occasionally a good man grows dis
satisfied with Kansas. The milk is
too yellow or the honey too sweet, and
he doesn't like them to flow over his
land anyway. So be parts with his
farm, sells his live stock and ''other
things too numerous 70 mention, .
and moves to Oklahoma There he
takes his good Kansas money and buys
a farm which today is and tomorrow
is not, because the wind has blown it
away. Orhe tries Colorado and slushes
around in the mud irrigating strip of
bottom so narrow that a cow can't
jump into the field because she jumps
over it.
Then he hears of Texas and goes
down to hunt the bag of gold at end of
rainbow. In the day time he scratches
sandburns out of his flesh and at night
eentipedes crawl over his face. When
his money is all gone he begins to feel
like he did the first night he ever stay
ed away from home. He yearns for
good old Kansas and the yearn sticks
IN his throat and chokes him until tears
come in his eyes. He would give a
months work to see the cows standing
at the bars on his old Kansas farm and
hear the horn blow for supper.
Memory is marvellous painter and
paints best the things we love best. 1t
pictures to the traveller the corn silk
ing in the field he once owned, the
wheat yellowing for the harvest, the
clover stretching away in carpet of
red and green, richer than the rugs of
Persians. 1t shows him the elms as
they whispered to his children at play
beneath them, points to the roses in
the corner of the old rail fence, and
in infinite detail paints a thousand
things that touches the heart and proves
its whimsical power. Happy is the
man who wakes from sleep to find that
he has wandered from Kansas only in
| his dreams.

There were ninety and nine in the
fold that day, but one had strayed
away"
And the answer came back:
''Hold the fort for I am coming,
hold the fort, / say
Our religious people were lately sur
prised to find that,
Zone had gone astray" And the
good people of our town always ready
to respond literally when a distress
flag is raised, did all they could to
help redeem the aft icted. And the
fallen was found in a Sanitarium anxious
to be redeemed. And the glad tidings
came back. 'tHold the Fort for 1 am
coming" And anxious to make
amends for the past, the good soul
decided to seek, f'new fields of labor, y
and gave notice that his final service
would be held last Sunday evening, he
would explain all, and thankful E'the
fire was passed thro' that was behind
him. -
Then the ministers of Hays, the
christians lost their hold, for instead
of making that meeting one of rejoic-
ing, union service of praise that the
''Stray one," had been recovered,
redeemed and wishing him success in
his new field of labor, an Evangelic
meeting, instead of that, another
Union meeting is held few doors off,
the redeemed" given the ''coId
shoulder - his welcome turned into a
frost.
And the man. who went down from
Jerusalem to Jerico found he had fallen
among the heartless and folded his tent
and silently stole away. This was a
great mistake. These Evangelists
who come here are generally reform
ed man and having left the fire behind
them are able to talk palmer, and
people flock to hear and encourage
them in their good work; and no one
denies that Rev. Mathew was an
eloquent talker, and trying to do good
in saving souls.

love the twilight, flutter about,
amazed at what she means, and in
their envious gable would prognosti-

ye suppress all this fowery crop of

It is not that woman loves a poodle
dog more than baby that she chooses
the dog, but if she pays the tax and
puts collar on her dog, she Is protect
ed by the law from the dog slayer. But
tell me if you can, how mother can
protect her boy? She went down to
the gates of death to give him birth.
She counts this as naught for the Joy
that man child is born. She watches
over him sleeping and waking, warns
him of the dangers of the Intoxicating
cup, but it availeth not. Ere the blush
of youth has left his cheek she sees
him offered a sacrifice on the altar
of his nations greed. And out here
in Kansas, where the People are trying
for Prohibition, for Home Protection

1000 people the right to sell liquor on
their paying their $25 apiece license.
What wonder that woman buys ranch
goes into the sheep raising instead of
raising boys? Wool growers are pro-
tected, and if the wolves should abound
our government would pay so much
per head for their destruction But
the destroyer ofour sons is protected,
by law; his business is legalized When
the voters of the country make the
raising of children safe business,
then will our daughters become wives
and the joyful mother of children, and
the streets of the city shall be full of
boys and girls playing in the streets
thereof.

ANTICIPATED
CARS IN USE
CAMDEN INTERSTATE RAILWAY
+ HAVING TROUBLE SINCE
THE BIG FIRE.

HUNTINGTON. Jan. 2s.-The troll
ley cars that were In use during the
infancy of the Camden Interstate
Street Railway are now making their
appearance on Huntington streets.
Nearly every double.trucked car that
has been used by the interurban line
was destroyed by the fire, and only
some castaways were left Tuesday
morning.
The company Is making shift to
bring cars from Charleston. and Will
use the old ones and such as can be
added to the stock until new ones, al
ready ordered can be delivered here.
Work On the new car barns will be
commenced as soon as possible, and
when finished will greatly excel the
old car barns in point of equipment.
The bad weather of the past week
has pat Huntington streets, such as
are not paved, in fearful condition.
unloaded wagons can barely make
passage over them and here and there
are seen wagons that stuck in the mud
and had to be raised with jacks.
Superintendent of Streets Robert
Castor is making his best efforts to
alleviate conditions, but SO long as
bad weather continues very little can
be done.
