The wreck Problem.

The year 1905 closed with the rail-
way wreck problem unsolved. Some
terrible accidents were recorded dur
ing the last twelve months The
causes have been varied in their ma
ture. Summing them all up it might
be possible to draw the general con-
clusion that the railroads are trying
to do too much business and make too
much speed with the equipment at
hand The Baltimore and Ohio wreck
near Washington is a horrible climax
to the old years railroad history. AS
one of the company's best trains, made
up of the very best and strongest cars
was destroyed any story Of the wreck
should run parallel with the supposed
theory that the cheap trains and light
ly constructed cars are the ones to
suffer in event OF accident. From
newspaper accounts the accident on
the b. & O. was inexeusable. There
was a dense fog. Notwithstanding
that the train that caused the awful
loss of life was running at a high rate
of speed. Possibly the engineer of the
death destroyer had orders to make
time more likely he knew that the
enginemAn who makes time is the one
to be in favor with the company. Rail-
road men see that those who take
chances are the ones to receive pro-
motion; consequently there is disposi
ton to take chances. 1t would seem
that tho wrecks of the year have
taught that the only safe system is
one calling for a strict observance of
orders and rules. If trainmen were
rewarded for observing the letter of the
rules instead of for making time there
would be less loss OF life.-Lafayette

A Characteristic illustration Of the
habit Of the Japanese of following
the professions Of their fathers was

of the death Of his ancestor, who had
been the first in his family to take up

Hundreds Of Sheep Drowned.

LdfAh aChChhSF
The floods of Saturday and Sunday
inflicted immense loss on Jas. Craw-
ford, living in the neighborhood Of
Youngs creek, just over the line In
Audrain county, brother of w. L
Crawford OF Paris and well known
here, where he is a frequent visitor.
Mr.. Crawford is one of the big stock
farmers of this section and'sinee last
fall has been running 1900 head OF
Colorado sheep. Recently he changed
1000 head from this bunch to the
old Kern White farm, miles west
of his own place, between the forks
of Goodwater and Youngs creek, and
left them In charge Of Mr.. Seamon,
who rents the place. Early Saturday
morning the two streams began to
rise rapidly and Seamon, on going to
look after the sheep, found them
punched on a noll Of high ground be-
tween the ~encroaching rivers. 1t was
five miles to a bridge, and, believing
there was no great danger, Seamon
returned to the house. Mr.. Crawford,
more fearful, started for the scene and
arrived there about 0 O'Clock, by which
time the water bad nearly reached the
sheep. He saw that they were sure
to be drowned and securing all the
men and teams he could, started In on
the work OF rescue. Three hundred
and thirty head were taken out.

REFORM LEGISLATION.
The Legislation Will Adopt and the
Principles in the Democratic
Platform.

Good government measures declared
for by the majority last November
when Missouri redeemed itself by once
more going Democratic are now being
taken up by the State Assembly and
passed regardless OF the hard bitter
fight which is being made by the
element opposed to law order and
decency.
Bills providing for all the reforms
the State Democratic platform pro-
missed are now pending and will
be passed one by one as
quickly as they are reached not
withstanding the opposition Of a few
Representatives and Senators I'M.
friendly to the State Administration
and law enforcement, who have made
their fight on these grounds alone and
have lost.
IL is not Gov. Folk who Ia thwarted,
when the reform measures are at
tackled, but instead, the will Of the
majority, who last November put
Missouri back into the Democratic
ranks because the Democratic
platform agreed with their
ideas Of decency and justice, and
they now expect and can rightfully
demand that the goods be de-
livered.
For the first time 10 the history Of
Missouri the people are keeping close
watch on which way their Senators
and Representatives are voting on
these very measures, which, If passed
will enable the State to keep up its
lead over all others In the National
crusade of reform which started here,
and at the election two years hence
will not forget.
When Gov. Folk favors certain bills
called for by the Democratic platform
of last November he Is but carrying
out the demand Of the majority,
sacred duty, and 1t is to the people
that all who oppose will have tc ex-
plain later on. The next campaign
will be very similar to the just closed
with good government, which includes
law enforcement, as the chief issue
and unless all who travelled to victory
on that issue, live up to it, they can
expect nothing further from those who
them in public life. The at
tention Of the Nation is directed to.
ward Missouri, the home of the law
and order crusade, now the paramount
question, watching almost
breathlessly, what will happen here
next. To retrogress now would be to
deal a blow to the fair name of the
State could not recover from in a
generation.

May Produce Furor.

THAT HAVE RECENTLY STIRRED UP ST. LOUIS.

WIN Mexico be affected with the
same astonishing demand for the new
preparations extollea by Z. T. Cooper
as has visited st. Louis and the lead
ing cities Of the East?
The question Is brought forth BY
tho fact that q local druggist has Sc
cured the agency for the much-talked'
OF preparations that are producing
such a furor, and about which the
newspapers Of the United States have
devoted columns.
In fact q discussion OF Cooper prep
arations and the unheard OF demand
for them wherever introduced has ap-
peared 10 a greater part OF all the
leading dailies Of the country.
The recently published statement
OF the manager Of appointment drug
firm OF ST. Louis, which appeared in
the Post Dispatch and the Globe
Democrat OF that city, would seem to
indicate that with no exception these
preparations produce the same results
In all sections, regardless Of what pres
sure is broughtto bear against the

His statement is as follows; ''This
