He also said that it would be shown
that Brown had performed more than

The Tribune learns from outside
sources-that on the occasion of his re-
cent trip to Colorado, E. C. Kruger,
in conjunction with C. M. Gray, former
ly of this place, but now in the real
estate business at Cheyenne Wells,
Colo., purchased five sections of Union
Pacific lands in that vicinity, and be-
fore starting for home Mr.. K. bargain
ed for three sections more, but the
party with whom he was dealing failed
to "deliver the goods" and conse-
quently the latter deal has been declared
off. The section purchased by Link
Richardson is in the same neighbor-
hood, and Mr.. R.. was offered another
section for $3.50 per acre, which he de-
cided not to take, and now word has
been received by him that since his re-
turn the same section has been sold at
50 per acre. Link says that that part
of Colorado is over-run with landseek-
ers, the country soil and climate is
all that could possibly be desired, and
Cheyenne Wells is confidently looked
forward to as becoming city Of note.
It is located 20 miles from the Kansas
line, and III miles southeast Of Denver.

The Tribune received the following

reassuring friends here.as to the safety
Of himself and family, and inclosing a
clipping from the Waterloo Daily
Courier Of the 23d inst. giving full ac-
count of the wreck on the Chicago &

cent advice given by a Postoffice De-
partment official that ''They can write
to the President, the Postmaster Gen.
eral, or myself" what would be the
result.
Letters addressed to the President
are as rule turned over to the head of
the department interested by his secre-
tary without comment. The depart
ment officials turn the communications
over to succeeding series of petty Of
ficials, and at last they reach the very
man complained of in nine cases out of
ten-the employees immediate super
iors. The result can be imagined.
The very people responsible for the
''hollar" about extravaganza in the
public printing of Congress
are keeping the Government Printing
Office busy this winter. Over 1900
more bills were printed during the
months of December and January than
in the corresponding short session two
years ago. Likewise, the alleged sur
plus is the result Of printing lot of
books for the use of members of Con-
gress that are never called for, but the
committee on printing will probably
remedy this state of affairs within a
few months. The government printing
service is becoming more and more
commercialized, and the class of en-
ployees is improving from day to day.
The Government Printing Office, the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and
the Washington Navy Yard are shining
examples of industrial activity compar-
ed to the monotinous routine of the
executive departments. But clerkships
in the national capitol are not without
their drawbacks. Constant copying Of
letters or addition of long columns of
figures is rapidly filling the local insane
asylum.
When will we be satisfied? The rail-
road rate law is unsatisfactory; the i'm
migration regulations will leave too
much discretion to the President; the
regulation of hours of service of rail
road men. will leave much to be desired,
and the Smoot case will be demon
stration of certain peoples ability to
violate the law successfully.
Much excitement has been occasioned
the past week at a hearing on the meas
ure to prohibit the sale Of intoxicating
liquors in the capitol city. Consider
able .'good liquor is consumed in
Washing ton, but there is little evidence
[of over-indulg gence.

ceed on their journey. B. F. Winders
of St. Paul, claim agent for the COM
pany, accompanied them here to make
arrangements for settlement He
returned home this afternoon.
The accident, in which Mrs. Thomas
had finger broken and the boy suffer-
ed injuries about the head, occurred at
$40 yesterday morning while they were
enroute from their home in Bowbells,
N. D., to Kansas City. The train
which was wrecked was the night ex-
press bound for Chicago and left St.
Paul at II 80. A freight train which
was ahead Of the passenger broke down
and the engineer of the passenger train
helped to push it to siding. A flag
man was then sent back to prevent
other trains from following until the
wreck was cleared, but he failed to get
the word back in time so that freight
train which was following crashed into
the rear of the passenger, throwing
the sleeping car down an embankment,
badly smashing the day coach and
wrecking the baggage and mail cars.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas and their little
boy were in the day coach and were
about the worse of the injured. The
passengers in the sleeper escaped with
out injury, but the baggageman who
was hurt will propably die
Mrs. Thomas, when seen this morn
ing by a Courier representative, said
that the first thing she knew, she was
down on the floor of the car amidst a
pile of rubbish. The little boy, though
badly hurt about the head, was able to
crawl out of the car, but Mr.. Thomas,
though he was unhurt except for a few
bruises, was pinioned down by the seats
in such way that he had to be dug
out. Both Mrs. Thomas and the boy
are getting along nicely and hope to be
able to resume their journey on Mon.
day. They are members Of the Dunk.

have taken charge of them and are at

engine Of a freight train lying on the
track ahead of US was disabled and our
engineer ran up behind them and was
trying to push them on a siding so that
we could pass. They sent a flagman
back to flag freight that was follow
ing, and he got cold and came in to get
his overcoat, and as consequence of
this delay he didn't get back quick
enough and the freight crashed into us.
There were two coaches and two Sleep
ers and we were in the front end of
the head coach. The sleepers being
more solidly built, pushed the two
coaches and mail car right up together,
the mail car telescoping our coach and
the two being reduced almost to kind
ling wood. There were seven of us
buried up in the wreck for about
quarter of an hour. / didn't get a

ed outright, but it is thought the
baggageman will die. The company's
agent has been after me all day to get
me to agree on a settlement, and we

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Notes of the Doings Round About the Cap
itaI City Entertainingly Written-up
for EdificatiOn Of Readers
Of The Tribune.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20, 1907.
To The Bowbells Tribune: .....'
The Congress of the United States is
in the hole! 1t is hole Of their own
digging, prepared for the deliberate
purpose of preventing legislation of an
obnoxious nature, as predicted sew
eral weeks ago. Members of Congress
come here in the fall full of hope, am
bition, and often with genuine desire
to do that which the people of the
country are demanding" But there
are other considerations than the s'de-
sires' of the people, and in the end the
membership of both branches of Con-
gress are made cognizant of this fact.
But few measures are advocated in
the national capital that do not effect
s'business interests, - and business men
particularly political business men
know how to attain to that which they
most desire. There is no graft, no
buying and selling of votes-that is left
for the lesser political lights termed
"ward healers. But campaign SUBJ
scriptions, positions on the directorate
of important companies, all have an
important bearing on the subject. 1t
is comparatively easy to swing senti-
ment in regard to any measure by the
statement of one side of the question,
and advantage is taken of this charact-
eristic to bring popular sentiment to
the aid of any important deal.
Hearst was held up to ridicule last
week for introducing a bill to prevent
the buying Of votes on election day, and
the Corrupt use Of money in any
manner. Now comes the intelligence
that Willie is hard at work through his
political henchmen to make his influ-
ence felt at the next political conven-
ton. Reports from the Independent
(?) League show wonderful activity in
4 Indiana, Iowa, and other Western
\ states, and this activity is only attain
ed through the use Of money. How
the elbow Kid can differentiate
between 81 spent for the direct pur-
4 chase 81 votes and 81, 600 spent to hire
professional boomers is beyond com.

other papers would fall flat, and w. j.

The House of Representatives has,
as predicted, killed the appropriation of
$1OO, 900 for a naval gun foundry, al
though the testimony adduced tended to
show it would pay for itself within a
few years, besides being a great con-
venience in the matter Of deliveries of
material. When the iron and steel in
terests Of the United States can through
a member of the Senate force the Gov
ernment to divide contract for armor
plate between the independent and
trust competitors, although the inde-
pendent company's bid was the lowest,
there is no danger Of monopoly being
put out of business. It is all right for
Senator to practice" before the
departments, provided he stands in, but
how about Burton Who for a few
hundred dollars is serving term in the
penitentiary because he did not stand
in? ..
The Treasury Department is about to
about the ''double-entry" system of
bookkeeping used by practically every
grocer in the land! The Government
is not behind the times! The country
is ahead of the Government in many
important matters. If minor Govern
ment official wishes broken chair re-
paired, minor conveniences, he pays for
them out of his own pocket rather than
unwind the miles Of red tape necessary
to get them. The avidity with which a
chief clerk will turn down requisition
for dollar or two: in supplies is only
exceeded in his desire to sign the re-
quests of the department heads for
thousands of dollars worth of useless
junk.

A TREACHEROUS MEASURE
Purpose Of House Bill No. IS Laid Bare
and Farmers Warned of Conse.
quenCes Should It Pass
and Become Law.
Bowbells, N. d.. Feb. Is.

Bowbells, N. d.. Feb. Is.
Editor of The Tribune:
Dear Sir would kindly ask for
small space in your valuable paper for
the purpose of calling the attention Of
every farmer in the great State of
North Dakota to something that is of
the most vital Importance to them at
this moment AS we all know, the
North Dakota lawmakers are very
busy body this winter. There are q
number of important measures before
that honorable body just now, but there
is one in which every North Dakota
farmer and thresherman are more in
terested just at the present time than
all others, and that is House Bill No.
88. As l understand the matter, this
bill provides that every owner Of
threshing machine must. before he can
start threshing his own or his neigh
boris grain, furnish bond of Sc, 600.
which bond is, let US presume, intend
ed to make any bills against the owner
of the rig good The wedge that wedg-
ed this bill in the senate would try to
make believe that it is for the good of
the men whom the owner eff the rig
may employ and for the merchant who
may have trusted him for supplies dur
ing the threshing season. But, Mr..
Farmer, can you not see that the hon.
orable representative who is responsible
for the introduction of this bill is rep.
resentative of the Machine Trust, and
not of the people who elected him?
The idea is that the $1,000 will cover
the price of the whole rig and thus
save the Machine Trust any anxiety
as to their collections, and if you. Mr..
Thresherman, cannot, owing to circum-
stances which you can or cannot con-
troll, meet your obligations to the
Machine Trust, your neighbor farmer
who signed your bond must dig up.
Now, have a mental photograph Of
all you farmers who are willing to sign
a $1,000 bond, even though it be for
your best friend and neighbor, but it
YOU do not your grain must be left on
the field unthreshed until this bond Is
furnished. Now, then, can not you see
that this bill if passed would put nine
