In talking with several of our
farmer friends last Saturday we
learn that wheat has not been
killed by the very dry weather,
and perhaps it is not hurt very
much. While it has not made
much of a growth above ground,
il seems to be making root all
the time, and will no doubt grow
a strong, healthy stalk. The
ground an inch below the top is
moist and there has been a good
root growth.

A Practical Scheme

| uLCu III tue CuLICHI uCWS WHdl
seems to be a worable scheme to
bring about more friendly rela-
tions between railway managers
and their patrons. Mr.. Win
chell's plan, said to have been
adopted by his system, to be put
into practice very soon, is to bring
the railway representatives and
the shippers along their lines in
to frequent informal conferences
for discussion of disputes, COM
plants or other matters of inter-
est to both. AS explained, these
meetings will be arranged on
short notice, their dates and the
places to suit the shippers con-
venience. Thus, if any group
of railway patrons or any com.
munity considers that the rail-
way has dealt in certain matters
harshly or unfairly, or desires
accommodations which it thinks
the carrier may reasonably grant
a conference may be quickly ar
ranged with the proper represen-
tatives of the road, at which the
questions raised may be thrashed
out in friendly fashion, without
the necessity of tedious and ex-
asperating correspondence and
red tape, and free of the danger
that over-oficious subordinates
by i'll temper or tactlessness, may
arouse unnecessary bitterness or
antagonism.
There are controversies, it may
may be set down at once, which
will not yield to this judiciouS
treatment, the conferes finding
themselves so far, apart that the
commissions or courts must arbi-
trate. But in the less important
disputes, whose name is legion,
adjustment ought easily to be
reached by such conference be-
tween principals. A very great
part of the bitterness manifested
by shippers against railway cor
porations in the mass may be
traced almost directly to some
comparatively trivial transaction
or series of transactions in which
the individual shipper thinks his
own road has wronged him. The
equities are not all upon one side
of course, but we dare say that
in the majority of instances the
shippers grievance is not wholly
groundless. A prolific source of
i'll feeling in the past has been
the dilatory practice of more
than one great railway system in
the handling of claims. The
vast amount of red tape in which
their adjustment has been in
volved, with the consequent tire
some and seemingly Intentional
delays, provoked a sharp rebuke
from the Interstate Commerce
Commission a year or two ago.
Arbitrary enforcement of hard
and fast rules by which shippers
are sometimes forced to pay for
the neglect or ineficiency of the
carriers employees, likewise has
raised up enemies for the rail.
ways among people whose friend
ship is worth having. A tact
less, over-oficious or impertinent
subordinate, in a position which
brings him in daily contact with
the customers of his employer,
can stir up in single working
day more bitterness than the
general officers of the road can
allay in a month.
Intelligent railway managers
must appreciate these things, but
they have been painfully slow to
seek out the remedy. Mr.. Win
;hell's plan seems excellent in
theory and ought to work well in
practice. The clash of interests
will, as we have suggested, cause
disputes that can not be settled {
BY the methods he proposes, but '

HUMPHREY.
From the Democrat


Sunday evening while returning from
. neiehbor's in the north part Of town,
two Humphrey ladies were chopped by
four men who after using the most in
sulting language to them threw some
burning fluid in their faces. The
women made their escape into resi-
dcnoe nearby and the gang after swear
ing vilely 1t them PASSED on. The ladies
did not recognize any Of the men and it
10 thought they are some Of the transient
hOodlums that have infested tho town
lately. Several instances have been re-
ported lately Of women being frightened
by unknown miscreants.
Carl Wellhausen met with q peculiar
accident Sunday evening while engaged
in friendly scufile on the street with
Low Elder. While the men were
scufiling Elders fist came in contact
with Wellhsusen's face with the result
that the cheek bone vas broken in three
places near the eye cavity. The acct
dent Was not noticed at first. but during
the night Carl suffered intense pain
from the fracture 90 the next morning
he, DR.. LeMsr and John Eckh0lt went
to Columbus to the hospital in the
latter's automobile. After having his
face fixed up in proper shape Carl re-
turned home that day and is now re-
covering nicely.
Mrs. Rohsrtch an elderly lady who
lives east Of town met with = severe &C.
cident Monday evening. while driving to
town with ono of her sons. While going
over crossing one OF the lines became
unfastened and the horses started to
turn around. Nrs. Rohsrtch jumped
out Of tho buggy safely but in attempt
ing 10 fasten the line was kicked in the
shoulder blade and arm by the frighten-
ed horse and sustained q double frsc-
ture. Mre. Rohsrtch was then brought
to town anu taken ~ the Columbus
hospital on the freight, where she has
since remained. News from there says
that i,er arm and shoulder are still 90
badly swollen that the physicians find it
impossible 10 reduce the fracture. but it
is to 10 hoped that this condition will
not last long.
