TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Result Of the Careiessness of a
Bwitchtender--An Engineer. Bag
gageman and Express Messenger
killed Others Wounded

ST. PAUL, June 21-A terrible accident
happened to the Chicago express on the Chi
cago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
way near College Place, between this and
Minneapolis, three persons being killed out
right and eight or ten others badly injured.
The train arrived at st. Paul at 2:25, and
consisted of the engine, two baggage cars and
express cars, and nine passenger coaches, the
latter nearly filed with people bound for
Minneapolis and points north. The train
was running at a speed of about twenty
five or thirty miles an hour when it jumped
the track at a point on the Manitoba Short
Line, known as the University ATitch, about
four miles from St. Paul. The engine turned
over and the tender was thrown fifty feet
from it, while the baggage cars and two OF
the passenger coaches left the track and went
tearing along the road-bcd and into the ditch,
making fearful wreck and piling the peo-
pie in the two passenger cars Immediately
following into an indiscriminate heap, MAIN
ing and crippling several, and causing a
heartrending scene generally.
The scene is described as one seldom wit
messed in the northwest The following is a
list of the killed, and the injured, far as re-
ported:
Killed-Engineer HarTity, of st. Paul, killed
outright; Merrill Roberts, a baggageman,
killed by baggage falling ON him. His arms
and legs were broken and his body mangled
an express messenger.
Injured Charles Vandervoort, brakeman.
His injuries are believed to be fatal Eight OF
ten passengers; several severely, but none ia
| tally wounded.
OF the 800 or more passengers on the train
sill who escaped unhurt were terribly shaker
up. Investigation shows the accident to have
been caused by the carelessness of a switch
man in leaving the switch open.
The Omaha company is doing all in it
power to alleviate the sufferings of tn
wounded, and has force of wreckers clear
| ing the track.

Log Rolling.
While Wrestling with Fallen Tree Lum-
herman Receives Consequential
Damage.


While on a hunting excursion in the great coal
and wood region near Carbehdale, Pa, the writer
met William Coil, lumberman Accustomed 10
life and labor in the forest from early manhood he
was true Knight of the Axe. Many tree had
fallen before his ringing strokes and fleets of RATS
had borne away to market the sawed products.
Coil is character and if Oscar Wilde is right in
saying that all movements in unhndered labor are
graceful our friend William stripped for his work,
and attacking a tree as Richard T. assaulted the
heavy doors of Front de Beuf's Castle must have
presented an admirable picture.
One day, however-but let him tell the story
himself, as he told it to me:

AMERICAN WHEATiPRoDUcTIoN.
The Views off German scientist who
Has Been "AmanE We Taking

NEW York, June 21--The Commercial
Bulletin, in an article on the future limit of
wheat culture, says the German government
has sent over to this country one of its emf
nent economists, DR.. Max Sering, of the uni
versity of Bonn, to make thorough inquiry
upon the field This gentleman has already
traversed California, Oregon, Washington
territory, Montana and parts Of Dakota and
Minnesota, and has formed his opinion in
reference to the main point upon which,
it appears, information was sought namely,
as to the probable limit of the production of
surplus wheat in all that vast area. His in
designations, it would appear, have led him
to the conclusion that in California the pro
duction of wheat can not be pushed very
mnch beyond its present volume but in
Oregon and Washington there seems to be
yet vast untouched expenses of land that can
produce wheat abundantly, while in Montana
the soil is principally adapted to grazing.
Also in Minnesota there are still vast acres of

wheat land not TILED His inquiries are not
yet concluded, but he has seen enough to
infer, broadly speaking, that the United
States is near the limit Of its ability to food
Europe with cheap wheat, and when this
limit is practically reached it will then be
only comparatively short time before the
increase of population will require all the
products Of its soil for home consumption
This is based on the consideration that the
great increase in production of wheat, which
has occurred only in the last fifteen years, has
resulted from increased acreage through new
settlement and not from any increased pro-
duction per acre in the older gTain-felds.
None of these expressions, however, are ac-
eompanied by any approximate figures, SO
that there is much room for conjecture, but
it is warrantable deduction that our present
large surplus is but a temporary factor in our
foreign commerce, and that another decade
