gan. If Mr.. Miller had lived

rheumatism being his principal
ailment. The funeral was held

He was an old soldier, having
defended his country for three
years during the Civil war.
The old soldiers of Logan and
vicinity went out in a body and
ATTENDED the funeral. 1t is

Logan Gazette.
The Omaha Daily News had
an article in their paper the
other evening with regard to
the "fool that rocks the
boat" and they certainly gave
the 3'fooP' the proper blow.
Up in Wisconsin the other day,
four young people were
drowned by one of the party
rocking the boat and throwing
the crowd into the lake while
the waves were. running high.
Whenever one sees a person
trying to show his daredevil
spirit in that way, the first
thought is, that he should be in
a sanitarium taking treatment.

Inc Union Pacific railroad
is about to adopt a new policy
for inquiries into wrecks that
will commend itself to the pub
lie. For every accident that
occurs an official investigation
will be made by the board in
Guiding not only representa-
tives of different departments
of the railroad, but also at
least one member selected
from the locality and entirely
free from railroad connection.
The findings of the board will
be made public and the facts
and the conclusion as to the
cause of the accident and the
outside member left free to
agree with his railroad associ-
ates or to put in a minority re-
port, placing the blame as he
sees it in case of disagreement
That these Investigations can
and should do much toward
fixing responsibility for rail
road wrecks goes without say
ing, but the new order is most
significant in indicating a dis
position on the part of the rail-
road to do all in its power to
prevent wrecks. In the final
ity, of course, it devolves upon
the railroad company to make
such use Of the reports by dis
ciplining negligent employees,
making needed improvements
and enforcing precautionary
measures, as will reduce the
frequency of recurring accidents.
