Helen Farrell, 10, Killed in Railroad Yard
in North Walpole.

in North WaIpoe.
A distressing accident occurred Satur-
day, when a girl OF 10 years was run over
by an engine in the railroad yard in
North Walpole and instantly killed. Her
body was horribly mangled. She was
Helen Farrell, the only step-daughter Of
Patrick Farrell, an employe of Hennes-
sey ice business and a man well known
about town.
The girl, in company with another of
about her age was gathering flowers
from various residences in the village of
North WalpOle with which to decorate
the altar of st. Peters church for the
services of the coming day. The two APP

as the Mountain track" which con-
meets the yards of the Fitchburg divis-
ion of the Boston & Maine road with the
Connecticut river division, over this
track a large number of locomotives,
without trains, pass and repass, going
from the engine house, located in the
Fitchburg yards, to the coal sheds on
the Connecticut river line. An engine
in charge of a hostler employed at the
engine house, was backing up for the
purpose of getting a supply of coal and
approaching the crossing at the time the
two girls approached it. The statement
of the surviving girl indicates that when
the girls started to cross the tracks there
seemed to be plenty of time before the
locomotive would reach there, but the
unfortunate girl caught one of her feet
between the rail and the crossing plank
and could not extricate herself before the
tender of the locomotive reached her. The
man in charge of the engine brought it to
a standstill as soon as possible after dis
covering the unfortunate conditions but

Webb Brook LltIaatlon Ended.

The village trustees have made a salts
factory settlement of long standing lti-
cation between william j. Webb and the
village over the water rights in what is
known s the Webb brook leading into
the Mnard pond reservoir As early as
1902 the village brought condemnation
proceedings against Mr. Webb to secure
the needed water rights. The next year
Mr.. Webb brought suit against the VIII
lage for trespass and neither case has
been settled until now The village will
pay Mr.. Webb $500 and take full water
rights of the brook in question, with au-
thority to enter upon the land to repair
or improve the water system as may be
needed. All litigation is to be stopped.
This gives control of every part of the
watershed draining into the pond to the
village for all time. The trustees have
bought contiguous land and water rights
within the last few years, for which they
have paid $4,000 and the income from
the water department has already paid
$4,000 of that amount. leaving the indebt-
edness only $4,000 more than before. They
have set out 1000 white pine seedlings
this season on the land bought of L. T.
Lowell and expect to set out 10, 900 more
next spring on the Ellis farm which they
bought a few months ago with the view
to reforesting the whole water shed as
rapidly as possible.

he obeys the dictates of the railway
managers instead of listening to the
voice of the public
He is understood to be a close per-
sonal friend of Rockefeller, and the
published reports show that the trust
iaagnateS have contributed literally to
his campaign funds. He has not hest
tated to show that he acknowledge his
indebtedness. In 1908 he was the chief
defender of the inaetion of the Repub-
1can party On The trust question.
1T will be remembered also that he
was the first prominent man to oppose
the income tax and his opposition came
after Mr.. Rockefeller had announced
hostility to the income tax amend
nlent.
THE corporation attorneys who filed
an argument against the income tax
with the Albany legislature presented
the same argument that Governor
Hughes did, and these corporation at
torneyS with Governor Hughes power
full aid barely succeeded in preventing
the ratification of the amendment by
the state of New York. What would
he do on the supreme bench If any
question arose affecting the income
tax? His speeches show that he feels
20 hostility toward private monopolies,
and there is no reason to doubt that
his decision would be in line with his
speeches.
Governor Hughes exemplifies the in
dividua! virtues and naturally demands
honesty in the public service, but he is
a shining Illustration of that peculiar
type of citizen developed in this coun-
try during the present generation-the
citizen who personally opposes vice and
is q punisher of small crimes, but shows
no indignation at the larger forms of

While it is expected Governor
Hughes will DE confirmed With little or
no delay, it is understood he will re-
main as the chief executive of the state
of New York until next October and
will not take he oath of his new Office
until the fail term of the supreme

month.
President Taft was much elated over
the success If his tender to Governor

''I am very much delighted to secure

(COnunued from rage O11o.)
The statement Revision of Taxes
Downward is a catchy proposition. OF
course, you gentlemen who are pro-
noting this great movement ought not
TO deceive the public by statements
that are so general that they have no
specific or practical meaning. That
has, know, been the old machine
idea in conventions of the past. ReSo-
lutions that were so indefinite that no
one could say positively what they
meant have been passed time and time
again to catch votes In your philan-
thropic effort to bring about 'Revis-
ion of Taxes Downward I must eau
ton YOU gentlemen against the mag
nitude of your work. 1t means that
you must exercise your influence in
every county, city. township and
school district in this state: for by
far the largest burden of taxation is
levied for the support of local com
munities. The state taxes are only
about $1.25 on 100000 valuation A
progressive city of the first class, like
Topeka, has a local tax of SLABS on
the 100000. I must also suggest
to you that the entire state tax in
Kansas is approximately but three
million dollars annually while the To-
cal taxes are almost twenty million
dollars.
Come Out in Open.
Now, gentlemen, that you have
come out of the brush, it is your duty
make real open campaign. The
public has a right to know exactly
how you propose to revise the taxes
downward. they have a right to know
that the state taxes are small part
of the tax burdens of this state. They
have right to know it directly from
you gentlemen who have such an in
terest in this matter of taxes in par
ticular and in their welfare generally
You must tell them specifically how
to lower their local taxes as well as
their state taxes if you really wish to
solve the tax question in Kansas.
The Increased appropriations of the
last legislature were more than COW
cred by the following six items:
First: Excess coal for charitable
institutions.
Second: Memorial building for SOL
fliers of the Civil war.
Third: State Agricultural college.
Fourth State University.
Fifth: State Normal schools.
sixth: Normal courses provided for
high schools throughout the state.
During the last two years there has
beer 2 large increase in the volume
OF business in many of the depart
menta Of the state. The cost of living,
which is q very important item in the
expenses Of our state. has increased
enormously. And every fair-minded
Kansan who has family to support
can judge by his own increased eX-
penses how much more money was
made necessary to furnish food. cloth
ing and housing for nearly six thou
sand persons. who are wards of the
state.
referring to the six above named
items for which practically ali the in
creased appropriations were made 1t
may be of interest to know that the
entire body Of the legislature went to
Manhattan and Investigated the needs
OF the Agricultural college: and also
went TO Lawrence to visit the State
university to see for themselves the re-
uuirements of that institution

which one of these opriations you
would cut out. Will YOU say that the
