STATE TO BLAME
Medical Examiner Crane Talks About Deadly Grade Crossing.

Medical Examiner Crane was asked who was responsible for the big rail- road accident that cost so many hu- man lives. He replied without much hesitancy that the blame rests upon the state of Connecticut for allowing grade crossings any place and espec- ially in thickly settled districts. No doubt the medical examiner was right, and probably this explains why these death traps are tolerated. We are told that they are being elinf-1 mated, but if so the work is going on so painfully slow one scarcely notices it. It is the old story, whats every body's business is nobody's, and as a consequence the corporations have their own way about such matters. Another bad feature of the thing. is that one cannot call attention to re- forms in this line without being charged with aiming to harrass capi- tai and stand in the way of progress. The other day when Alderman Lar kin spoke regarding the need of getting after corporations that make a practice of tearing up the streets and leaving them in bad shape, some good citizens said they were very much surprised to hear that a re- publican had used such language. Such talk as this deters men in pub lie places from making targets of themselves with the result that com munities are at the mercy of few individuals. Nobody thinks that railroad corporations or others want to see human life sacrificed, but it is so much cheaper to carry on work without taking proper precaution to protect life and limb that very little attention is paid to some features of it that are very essential. Every railroad train should be obliged to go over or under the public highways and all railroads should be secured by substantial fences and somebody employed to see that nobody not hav- ing business there is allowed inside of them. It is so in other countries that are not half as well governed in other respects as this, and it is about time the public woke up to the seri- ousness of the situation and took steps to guard against repetition of the shocking catastrophe of yesterday instead of sitting down quietly and asking each other when we will have another horror of similar character.

The Copenhagen Vartland comments
as follows on the news that the crown
prince of Germany is to make himself
familiar with the civil administration
Of the government: ITO give our
crOwnprince a similar chance would
cause serious considerations AS Il
parliamentary monarch it would not
be proper for him to NEEDLE with the
affairs of state. He must give no i'm
pulses and must not interfere with
the government. The greater the ig-
norance in which he is kept the great
er will be the cheerfulness with which
he discharges his duties.
A short time ago a dozen American
Mormon missionaries came to Den
mark and put new life into the Nor
mon church in northwestern Upland. It
did not take long, however, before dis
senslon arose among the American
visitors and Jylland Mormons and the
other day at a general meeting they
engaged in a general fist fight. Nor
nOrism in Denmark has been receiving
some pretty hard knocks lately and the
Copenhagen papers predict a speedy
dissolution Of the Mormon church in
that country in the near future.
The American minister to Denmark
and Mrs. Maurice Egan have an
nounced the engagement of their
daughter, Miss Patricia Egan, and Ell
mer T: Murphy, of Los Angeles, Cal.
The marriage will take place in Copen-
hagen in the near future, where Miss
Egan is with her father, but no date
aas been set.

his whereabouts and employment In
the nine years of his liberty.

and hid In the timber the next day.

There they separated. and January
caught freight train. thus making his
way to Wichita.
Three days after arriving In Wich-
ita January found that Axton had fol
lowed him, and they left there togeth-
er and got work in rock quarry at
Winfield. They worked there for two
months. when Axton either accident
ally shot himself or committed suicide
with revolver. January worked In
the quarry another mouth.

who owned a horse and light wagon
This he did for more than a year. and
then went to Kansas City, where he
solicited for an insurance company

in the same business for himself for
more than two years. This was fol

CUBAN STANDING ARMY.
Most Attractive to Lovers Of Gold
Lace and Regalia.

Havana. plan of the Cuban
standing army OF 1900 men, as sug-
gested by the general staff OF the Amer
lean army is most attractive TO that
element OF the Cuban people which is
fond OF the gold lace and regalia of
Spanish American armies. But among
the conservative elements the plan ex-
cites really less interest than the pre-
ceding one to recruit the rural guard
up to 1900 men.
The latter plan was vigorously OPP
posed even by the Liberals, who, it was
supposed, would have jumped at the
opportunity opened by such lavish
distribution Of patronage, and while
the standing army scheme has been
framed to meet their objections, the
apparent impossibility of this accom-
plishment has caused 1t to be received
with something like derision.
Gov. Magoon, who has not yet been
advised Of any intention Of the war de-
partment to adopt the elaborate pro-
gramme OF the general staff, does not
believe it possible to recruit in the
island of Cuba 1900 soldiers who shall

CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR
Heavier This Year Than Ever Before
in Our History.

Washington.-Thc consumption oil
sugar in the United States in the fiscal
year which ends with the month OF
June probably will exceed that of any
other year in the history of the coun-
try, according to a statement issued by
the bureau OF statistics of the depart
ment OF commerce and labor today.
The total quantity of sugar imported in
the nine months ending with March
last, was 3,692, ,0Oo, 900 pounds in round
numbers, while the quantity brought
in during the first nine months of the
high record year, 1903, was 1905, Oo0,-
900. IL is estimated that the produc-
tion OF sugar in this country in 1906
was 1,30i, ,0oo, 900 pounds, which exceeds
by 100000 pounds the figures of
the former high record year, 1906.
