Collision on Cedar Rapids Line.

The evening passenger train
bound for DEBORAH and an extra
freight running into Cedar Rapids
collided between Toddyille and Cen
ter Point Saturday evening, and
thirty passengers were injured, all
OF them being badly shaken up.
Most of the passengers lived at Ce-
dar Rapids or along the route OF
the line, none being seriously in
iured. The collision occurred at a
curve. The freight was going about
forty miles an hour, but the passeng-
er train had been almost stopped
when they struck Both engines
were badly wrecked and the track
torn up for some distance. The
engine crews jumped to safety. Mis-
taken orders are said to be respon-
sible for the collision.

Valuable Horse Dies.

In our last issue we noted a run
away in which two of l.. o. Reed s
livery horses broke loose from a
vehicle at Trout Run and ran to the
barn, one of them falling as they
made the turn from Water street to
Washington street and being struck
in the leg by the shoes of the other
horse. Blood poison set in and the
horse died Wednesday morning. The
loss is heavy, as it was one of Mr..
Reeds best matched teams.

Law and Public Sentiment.

Exchange Walter NJ
White, pastor of the First Christ
ian church of Cedar Rapids, Ia, re-
Gently preached a sermon in his pull
pit which all might do well to read
His theme was Sunday Baseball
While he did not endorse the nation
al sport on the Sabbath day, he
made some statements that all
this advice was that while some
might not believe in Sunday base
ball it was not proper to condemn
those that did, and he believed that
it was not right to pass laws forbid
ding those, who wanting to attend
the sunday games, did so.
He also declared that a law, in
itself, has never accomplished any
thing without public sentiment be-
hind it. The burden of his sermon
was that we should be broad mind
ed enough to realize that there are
two sides to questions, especially
those that are not wrong in them
selves, but merely made so by Gus
tom or sentiment. If all of us would
apply the advise of the good clergy
man to ourselves there would be
less laws in Iowa and less infrac-
tons of law. When a clique OF
community or a great mass of people
have fixed ideas on a certain cues
ton it is common for them to rush
to the legislature to repair what
they think is wrong. The result is
a mass of heterogeneous laws OF
which few people have any knowl-
eye of, and which are generally Vi
olated. The less we try to regulate
the habits and the morals of others
by coercive measures the more will
public sentiment improve"

play If team be organized, we be-
lieye. A series of mighty interest
ing games could be provided for the
summer if properly managed.
