A FATAL COLLISION.

On Saturday morning about four
O'Clock Drs. A. Clifford and J. &. Boul-
son were called out to LaHarpe to ren-
der medical attendance to some men
that had been injured in collision
between two freight trains, that had oc-
CURED on the Wichita road Just east of
that place. From DR.. Clifford We
learn the following particulars The
regular freight train going east got
stuck in a snow drift about two miles
east Of LaHarpe. Another train COM
ing up behind them, consisting of two
engines, a caboose and one dead en-
CINE, received orders to go out and
help them. The caboose was in front
OF this train aud the engineer wanted
to throw it into a side track before
starting out. The conductor refused
to allow this to be done, and they
started with the caboose in front. In
8 tead OF running cautiously they pro-
ceeded at full speed. A brak eman by
the.name of Hendricks was on the
front platform of the caboose and when
he saw the other train began to sig
nal his own train to stop. The engin-
eer did not see his signal in time, how
ever, and the two trains crashed to-
gether. The brakeman was caught
between the two cars and had the
femur and tibia of both legs broken in
several places and the muscles terri
oily laeerated. This happened about ,
O'Clock, and it was six o'clock before
the physicians arrived, during which
time he was without medical attend--
ance. 1t was decided that amputation
OF both limbs was necessary and the
right leg was taken off just below the
knee. The patient was too far gone,
however, from loss of blood, and the
terrible shock to his system, to rally,
and died about an hour or two after
the operation. Conductor White re-
ceived Commissions about the face and
on the wrist, and conductor Fleming
received scalp wound, but neither
OF them was seriously hurt.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED

On Tuesday evening of this week, a
young lady named Miss Sears, living
on Rock creek about five miles from
lola, was seriously if not fatally shot
by her sister-in-law. The latter had
opened a trunk and finding a pistol i'm
it which she supposed empty, pointed
it at Miss Sears and pulled the trigger.
There proved to be one bullet in it, and
this entered Miss Sears face, just at
the side of the nose. DIR. Fulton was
called, but was unable to find or re-
move the ball. The pistol was 3S
calibre and although the victim of the
accident is still alive, it is very doubt
full whether she can recover.

Reform Iva Earnest.

Commissioner Colman of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has unearthed the fact
that his predecessor, DIR. Loring, caused
over 100000 to be expended in seeds dur
ing the last nine months of his adminstra-
tion, large proportion of the money
having been paid out for seeds that were
worthless and the remainder wasted In ex-
tIavagant payments.
II is alleged that LOO bushels of sor-
ghum seed were purchased of New York
firm for $2.35 to $295 bushol, while 300
bushels of the same variety were purchased
of u Western man at 81 bushel, and the
chemist of the Department says the seed
could have been purchased in Nebraska at
90 cents bushel. Ia addition, the chemia!
declares that the purchase of any sorghum
seed at all was unnecessary and without
reason.
Itwas high time for change in the Com
missionership of Agriculture.
If DR.. Loring was imposed upon by dc.
signing men, 1t was time to have COM
missioner whose practical knowledge and
yigilant care would prevent such impOsi-
tiop.
IfDr. Loring was betrayed by his sub
Ordinates, II was time TO get commissioner
