Jailer Frank Kreigh was among the

night wrecked four miles east of
Knoxville. The Ottumwa official was
returning from Knoxville, and with
the other numerous passengers on the
train was uninjured. The engine and
baggage car were derailed by tie and
rail, which had been placed across
the track The obstacles were push
ed along the track for distance Of
three miles before they became fas-
tened and furnished sufficient opposi-
ton to derail the light engine and
the car that followed. The unsuccess-
full attempt to wreck the train looks
like the work of inexperienced men or
mischievous boys, and the Burlington
officials are now working on the case.
The wrecking crew had the locomo-
tive and car on the track within few
hours after the mishap.

quire changes In the tariff. And no
| matter what form the tariff bill that is
| passed at this session assumes, it will
be found within a few years that some
| of the schedules will require revision.
The change being needed, therefore, it
is hard for the ordinary citizen to I'M
derstand just why congress should not
set about with deliberate judgment and
make the necessary changes in the
tariff schedules. Instead of this there
seems to be less of deliberate judg-
ment than what'one eminent authority
describes as wind jamming." There
seems to be disposition among the
Chautauqua orators to keep up such a
continual bombardment of oratory that
the men who are on the job to pass the
tariff bill cannot work for the noise
Meanwhile the country is marking
time and waiting for the tariff bill to
so through.
AS parallel case just imagine
crew of men taking steamboat up
the river. They had been making
i their regular trips on the river for
years carrying sixty-flve pounds Of
steam. Then a few of them thought
.iey ouSHI " carry Sixty pouHuS. oo
they got off on the bank and argued
the matter all summer, while tile men
at the other end of the stream were
waiting for them to deliver the goods
When they finally did start with
sixty pounds of steam on they didn't
have enough power to carry the boat
over the sand bars that had formed in
the channel while they were debating,
and they got stuck there
The ship of business is anchored in
mid stream now while the crew are
on the bank debating. The people are
waiting for them to deliver the goods.
If they keep up the nd-jamming'
long enough the channel, too, may be-
come blocked with sand bars.

Bill Best Possible Measure.
"Then you believe, Mr.. Speaker" /
suggested in closing the conversation,
that the tariff bill will be the best, in
view of all the circumstances, that can
be produced?"
There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind on that score. The members
of the house and senate are patriotic
men who honestly are trying to do
their duty as they see it. They realize
the needs Of the country and they are
anxious to look out for them, and they
will. do everything in their power to
provide what is best for the prosperity
of all the people.
Necessarily, this will mean com.
promise, but because a compromise Is
made it doesn't follow that 1t is in
spired by any desire to provide for
what is euphemistically described as
an interest 1t is the consumer for
whom we are looking out and, as |
have said, the consumer is every per-

AN ExAMPLE TO YouNG MEN

AN EXAMPLE TO YOUNG MEN.
Under the heading, Example to
Young Men," the Chicago Journal paid
the following tribute to Frank A. Van
derlip, and the points in the latter's
career which are emphasized have a
general application wherever young
men are at work:
I'm the elevation of Frank A. Van
derlip to the presidency of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, the
largest financial institution in America,
there is a lesson that newspaper re-
porters will do well to study with
care
"Mr. Vanderlip was reporter in
this city a few years age. He was a
good reporter-accurate, Industrious,
thoughtful. He never shirked work,
aging editor or the public. He did not
waste his time shaking dice for cigars
or hanging around billiard halls. IN
deed, it is doubtful whether Mr.. Van
derlip today knows the difference be-
tween ping pong and monkey pool.
But he knows a great deal about
finance-so much that the greatest
financiers in America have chosen him
to be president of the greatest bank
in America
while other reporters were idling
away their time. Reporter Frank Van
derlip was filling his head with USE
full edge-reading good books,
studying problems of finance, and al
ways plodding along without stopping
to complain that the world did not ap-
preciate his true worth.
after time he became to be known
as better reporter than the average
among his fellow workers. He could
always be depended upon. Men promi-
nent in commerce discussed important
personal business matters with him.
Some Of them learned a good many
things from Reporter Vanderlip. His
Judgment was sound and he kept his
own counsel-two rare traits.
Lyman ]. Gage, who estimated men
accurately, recognizing the plodding
reporters ability and fine character,
took him to Washington as assistant
| secretary of the treasury under Nc
kinley's first administration. His rise
has been steady and sure ever since.
"The path that led Frank VANDERBILT
to the seat of power in the world of
finance lay there for any reporter Of
| fifteen years ago to follow if he would.
There were also other paths, some
leading to saloons, others to poker
games, and others to race tracks.
Those who chose the latter had more
fun than Frank Vanderlip, but the fun
was very expensive"

The monthly meeting of the Broth

home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin H. EN-
cry, 315 North Benton street. After

pie and plain living people. God has
given us stupendous wealth. We ara
the richest nation on earth. The BUSH

and 1t sometimes seems in this great
hustling country that business man
is not at all times honest. Every
man has an idea In life and living
breathing men are better than ideals.

1t pays to have an ideal in life. An
ideal in business must be worked out
or 1t Is not worth anything" The
speaker paid beautiful tribute to
Abraham Lincoln, pointing out hoy
high his ideals were in his life, and
told how his ideal in life had been
lived up to. Taking the lives oil
Cyrus Fields, John Wesley, Martin
Luther and General Booth the speak
err pointed out how they lived up 10
their ideals. He said that ideals do
not work themselves out in dreams,
but in the ordinary walks of life. No
man has so great ideals as the Amer
lean citizen. DR.. Allen spoke Of the
cheap, common Sunday comic section
of papers, saying what influence they
had upon the young in the homes.
"Put up in you homes the best IT
books, form the habit of reading good
books and stick to 1t. said he.
Make companion of your boy,
show him the true ideals in life. Keep
one ideal above another and we shall
then realize that our ideals were per

reach above the clouds to Heaven.
Thank God for men and for their

Of what 1t costs to produce each par
ticular crop. In figuring the cost of
labor enough should be added to pay
for the use Of the machinery. The
cost Of seed will include cleaning, test
ing and other preparation. Perhaps
the best way to figure the value of the
manure applied is to include it in the
rent Of the land. Thus the corn crop,
which receives the first benefit from
the manure, can be charged a higher
rent on this account. The amount
charged to the oat crop will be less,
while the clover crop, which really
adds to the fertility of the land, will
pay the lowest rent Of ALL Where the
grain is fed on the farm there will Of
course be no charge for marketing.
The cost Of clover seed, which is sown
with the oats, should be charged to
the next years clover crop.
