Of deep concern with all the operators

AN EXCITING FINISH.

The first half Of the 45.day session
of the state legislature was rather
quiet, with the exception of the. spirit
ed fight over the organization Of the
two branches. But the remaining
days Will likely be more exciting. The
grand finale win take on the usual
sparring for advantage and mad
rush will be made to get bills through
in the closing hours. II is then that
the lobbyists who up to this time have
been in the back ground will come for,
ward and assert their power. In tho
finai round up Is where corporate pres,
sure will be brought to bear on every
member under any obligations to the
"interests' which are on the ground
with paid agents ready to intimidate
coerce or browbeat any man whom
they can get under their power as
against the people. Those will be
the days that try the legislators souls
and only men Of strength can with.
stand the besetments which will be
encountered at every turn. Now is
the time TO help your Representatives.
Write them letters of encouragement
and assure them your loyal and con.
slant support In their efforts to stand
by the people.

It is negligence to back q train ON a
dark night over a public railroad
crossing without warning, by blowing
a whistle or ringing bell or placing
on guard or light on the advancing re-
yersed car. The company must adopt
some means to warn travellers OF dan

that they are playing right into the

appropriations for these schools cut
SO as to cripple them or some OF

against the Republican party and the
