When the publisher aeppresses news because of relation- ship, or of friendship, or because its publication reflects upon am inuen- tial citizen, whose friendship or pat- romage is desired by the paper, then Shat publisher é& violating his con- tract with his subscribers and cheat- ieg them out of their just dues and deserves the contempt not only of those whom he defrauds, but all enest citizens. There ia a difference of opinion as go what constitutes legitimate news, and it would be very hard to lay deworules by which a publisher aust be geverned iv all matters that someup. But there are seme se wall established ruies that no pub- Hsher need err in following, among which is proceedings of courts of resord, all local news in which the public is interested, avoiding scan- dals, vague rumors, insinuatiens and muendoes. When a crime against the laws has been committed it is the duty of a newspaper to publish all the facts obtainable without dis- eussing the probable guilt or inno- zence of the accused. In this con- nection we might add that the records of all justices of the peace are open to inspection and warrants issued for orime and placed in the hands of officers to serve, is legiti- mate mews. On the other hand grand juries hold their sessions in searet and their findings should be s0 regarded until brought before the cireuit court. It is undeniably and unquestionably wrong for a newspaper to attempt the trial of a ease, in whieh a man is accused of grime, in advance of the courts. Every man is supposed to be innos eent until he is proven guilty and is entitled to a fair and impartial trial without having his evidence paraded xa print to the information of the prosscutien. A Pittsburg & Gulf passenger train, loaded with excuraioniste, left the track near Grandview, twenty miles south of Kansas City, Thurs- day evening and about 50 people were more orless injured. A num- ber of citizens of Amoret, Amster- dam and Merwin, in this county. were on the train, returning from the Woodmen carnival, and a num- ber were injured, but none fatally. Mrs. E. B. Chandler, living on a farm near Belton, and J. I. K. Craw- Jord, of Drexel, received the most serious injnries, but it is thought they will recover. The accident was aaused by the spreading of rails.

Wires are all down north of Her- man and it is not known how much further north the storm went, but reports are coming in to the effect that a large portion of country north of Herman is laid waste. The entire eastern portion of Ne- braska is being swept by a terrific rain, wind and electric storm to- night. The streets of Omaha are flooded and the play ef the light- ning is something fearful. COCKRELL WINS HIS FIGHT. issouri Democrats Secure Six Census Su- pervi nips—Republicans Given the | six inatead of five districts. Kansas City District. Washington, D. O..

At the request of director Merri- am, Senater Cockrell called at the census Office this aftefnoon and the matter was finally settled. GOT SIX INSTEAD OF FIVE. Asa result of the recent visit to Washington of Col. Kerens and his pie hunters, the demecrats secured Senator Cockrell has not filed any reeom- mendations for supervisors in the six districts and will not do so until be has heard from the congressmen interested. He will favor the dem- ocratic supervisors giving half of their patronage to republicans, merely that the spirit of the law may be oarried out and the census made non-partisan.

Fort Wortb, Tex., June 11 — Three Texans were condemned to death by hanging by the criminal court of appeals last week. They are Jim Garlington, alias Jim Dar- lington, of this city; Tom Wright, of Dabliv, and Rev. G. E. Morrison, of Panhandle City. Garlington is one of the fire men whe attempted tohold up a Santa Fe passenger train near here July last, aad as o result, Engineer Williams and Fire- man Whittaker were both shot and |killed and their bodies kicked off the engine.

New York, June 11.—Remarkable evidence will be given before the industrial commission at Washing ton on Friday, when Percy E. Dowe, the president of the Commercial Travelers’ National league, takes the stand to testify regarding the effects of trusts upon commercia! travelers “It is a ease of 150,000 men fight ing for their existence as a body of expert business men,’ said Mr. Dowe to day, “and I think the rank and file are fully alive to the serious- ness of the situation. The 350,000 commercial travelers in this country spend on an average $3,000,000 a | day in railroad fares and hotel ex- penses. I already have heard from nearly 4,000 representative men, and their opinion ie unanimously egainst all trust combinations and monopo lies. “I have collected a quantity of evidence,” continued Mr. Dowe, ‘and { shall be able te give the commis- sion a number of instances in which the formation of trusta has worked bayoc among our ranka.
