RAILWAY OFFICERS
BEFORE THE BOARD
c. & O. Objects to Placing
Night Watchmen on All
Local Crossings.

In order to safeguard the crossings
of the Chicago division of the c. & O.
railway in this city some definite &C.
ton will be agreed upon between the
company and the city council within
the next month. Conference was held
by general counsel H. c. Starr, divis-
ion superintendent j. w. Fox, and En-
gineer jackson and Mayor thinner
man and other members of the board
of public works at the city hall Tues
day morning, at which the PROPOSE
tion was gone over.
The city officials held out for watch
men. both night and day at all of the
more generally travelled crossings. The
company contended that under exist.
ing conditions this was unfair, because
there was 20 little travel over the
crossings during the night. and be-
cause, on the average. about six trains
only were run through the city at
night.
The company officials prefer to in
stitute a system of automatic bells at
the crossings which will be rung on
the approach of a train in time to
avoid the possibility of an accident. 1t
is regarded as probable a compro-
mise will be effected, tho more hazard
GUS crossings being safeguarded with
watchmen and those used but little If
any by automatic bells. After hear
ing the proposition of the board, the
company officials retired with the un-
derstanding that they would draw up
a statement, embodying what the
company would consent to. This
statement will be presented to council
at the first meeting in February, and
II the company's proposals meet with
the approval of council an agreement
will be entered into. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Starr, Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Jack
son will attend the council meeting.
At South D street 1t Is probable a
viaduct will be constructed under the
tracks. The company 10 anxious this
be done In order to prevent trespass-
ing. The tracks, commencing at D
street are now used as q common high
way by pedestrians. In event Of the
construction of viaduct, probably
costing $1,000, q dangerous condition
will be removed.

WOODROW WILSON
of New jersey
VICE PRESIDENT
THOS. r. ARSHALL
of Indiana
From Prospect Hill.

The democratic convention that
came off last Saturday night was
a quiet, harmonious affair and
well attended. The men ar d
women selected are of sterling
material and you will be running
no risk in making your selections
from this worthy list in Septem-
ber. The Prospect Hill man is
small in stature, but he feels a
head higher since he was honored
with the craftsmanship of that
democratic assembly. Why not
so, since the party is ''of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the
people," and should you elect
any or all of these competent
men and women to fill the Offices
to which they aspire, they will
be for the people, not only while
in the race. but after the elec-
ton. If you would encou, age
good citizenship, instill a lauda-
BILE ambition in the yeomanry of
the country and make them feel
it worth while to aspire to the
coveted places in official and pub
lie affairs, don't make the mis-
take of turning them down just
because some one or more wants
it who have grown gray in the
service and have long since
thought it presumptuous in 9TH
ers to SEEK that which by long
possession has perfected title to
them. Glance over that ticket,
then soberly fix each name in
your mind, ponder their respec-
tive merits, persue the same
method with the state ticket
when it materializes, and on up
to the supreme head where Wood
row Wilson stands committed to
retrenchment and reform along
all lines. Then when November
election comes you will be ready
with millions of other conscien-
tious people to vote for a change
for the better, which means to
vote the democratic ticket.

"a government by the major

the county has ever had. Since
he was first elected, the labor in
his office, occasioned by the in
crease in the county's business
and in the manner of intelligent
ly keeping its books is five times
as great as it ever was before,
but he has been able to take care
of it with unusual competence,
to the credit of his party, the
satisfaction of the people and to
the great discontinue and cha
grin of the people who tried to
defeat him, because he was a
man they couldn't draw into
their schemes and handle, while
they prostituted his integrity and
corrupted his honor.
w. E. Redmon is just as much
a candidate in the interest of all
of the people as he is candidate
IN the interest of his own party.
If you want a man in the treas
urer's office that can't be cor
rupted, w. E. Redmon is the
man for you to support. He has
never had the peaceful and un-
disturbed possession of his office
but has been fought and falsely
accused and slandered ever since
he was elected, but through it
all, his good character has never
been scratched, and shines as
bright today as it did when he
first took his Office.

Gov. Osborn For Wilson.

Gov. Chase E. Osborn, of
Michigan, an ardent Roosevelt
supporter during the colonel's
battle for the republican presi-
Dental nomination, has issued a
statement in which he declared
his belief that there is no ne
cessity for a new political party"
"The issue is clearly joined for
the people," !" said the governor
in his statement. 1T is Wall
Street versus Wilson. Woodrow
Wilson's character, temperament
preparation and fitness are above
the high average of American
presidents. He is a Christian, a
scholar and a fearless citizen.
Republicans can vote for Will

party has no candidate for pres
