THE RADECAE T..
Bowling Grecn,---.JuIy9, 1912.

I7By last nights mail we learn that
the prevailing opinion in st. Louis, is
that the Shawn cetown Bank will not at
present resume; although it is believed
or rather reported, by sanction and au-
thorty of the bank no doubt, that every
possible eXertion will be made by the Di-
rectors TO effect an early resumption.
So it seems she is again at the old game
of early resumption. But the people
have been so shamelully deceived and
swindled by bank promises Of late, that
they are becoming more watchful and
cautious, and will not be again casiy
gulled by the promises of the Shawnee
town Bank.
The paper of this Bank, SO far as we
have been abe 10 learn, bears no fixed
value.
We present to our readers to-day, the
introductory chapter TO a work entitled
"Truth versus Error, alias Philosophy,
reason and common sense. against folly,
prejudice and superstition The au-
thor is a resident of Missouri. and Us
the publication of the work depends in
some degree upon the amount Of patron
age extended 10 it, we hope and trust
that the characteristic libcrality of The
people of Missouri will at once secure
its publication, by 4 free and liberal pat
ronage. Ofthc merits Of the work We
know nothing; but if we may judge from
the prospectus, which will be found in
another column of or paper, it bids fair
to afford something at least, novel and in
teresting.
If our friends of the editorial corps in
this state, viii copy the Introductory
chapter above alluded 10, we shall esteem
it a favor, and will reciprocatc the kind
ness whenever opportunity shall offer.

number of Representatives 10 which each

Accident.

Dreadful Accident.
Lie Ldna collapsed both ilues of her
larboard boiler on yesterday morning.
n Captain of the fatan furnishes the
following account of the catastrophe:
The steamboat EDNA collapsed both
ilues Of her larboard boiler a, quarter
past a o'clock, this morning, at the
mouth of the Missouri river.
The Edna landed at the mouth about
| o'clock this morning. The Iatan wa S
lying there, and the Edna landed OH the
outside OF her, and laid in such a posi-
ton that it was difficult for the Iatan TO
get away from the shore. However.
after a little trouble, the Iatan got under
way, and had run three or four hundred
yards, when the Edna showed out from
the shore. Her bow could not have
been more than one hundred feet from
the shore, when she collapsed her flues.
Her engine had been working out of
gear full a half hour, and had not been
stopped more than ten minutes at the very
outside. | was looking at the Edna when
the casualty happened, and had observ-
ed her for some time before the accident,
and did not think she had unusually high
steam. am of opinion hat some OBJ
struction existed either in the supply
pipe, in the force pump, which prevent
ed the necessary quantity of water from
going into the boilers.
Number of wounded is about SIXTY
THREE, mostly Germans. Some two
or three were blown into the river and
saved, and it is supposed that two OF
three others were lost. The cabins OF
tie Edna and Iatan are filed with the
wounded, and they are receiving every
attention fromthe passengers and others,
that can be bestowed upon them.
As O o as the accident happened, the
iatan dropped along side the Edna, and
towed her TO the Illinois shore, wher
the Annawan took her in tow, and the
Iatan proceeded TO st. Louis with the
wounded. NJ. EATON,
