Wreck on the Union Pacific.

Fremont, Neb., Sept 26-Another
serious wreck occurred here this morn
ing to add to the long list OF casualties
on the Union Pacific road which have
occurred of late. AS the Overland
express train came in at O'Clock it ran
into freight train which was on the
main line preparing to side track. The
passenger trainv was running at full
speed, and owing to the early hour and
heavy fog, the engineer on the incom-
ing train could not see the freight until
within few rods. He and the fireman
jumped from the engine in time to save
their lives. The two trains collided a
moment later with fearful crash. The
engine, tender end fruit eer of the
passenger train went off the track, de-
molishing the engine completely. On
the freight train the caboose and two
box cars were torn to splinters. There
was only one man in the caboose and
he had miraculous escape. The con-
struction train came up from Omaha at
ten o'clock and has been at work all
day clearing up the wreck.

age rather than over it. In culture that

nifty, grace of manner and person, and
that indescribable high breeding which
recalls to men whose heads are now
gray the days when such women were
typical southern danes, the lady is Sec
ond to none from her native state or
of her time. Having no children,
although mistress of a home
such as an ample fortune,
and refined taste alone could make, she
has had the leisure, denied to others by
reason of motherly cares, to keep con-
versant touching everything woman
of intellect and culture should care to
know. II 1t shall turn out as it seems

Dakota territory contains twenty.three
Legislative districts, majority of the
districts being composed of from one to
three counties, the apportionment OF
counties being made upon the popula-
ton basis. 1t is a circumstance worthy
of more than passing notice that the
Legislative district in which Bismarck,
the capital commissions capital, is
located, is composed of twenty-seven
counties. The next largest district,
lying just east of the Bismarck
district, contains nine counties and
west of the Bismarck district there are
no organized Dakota counties from
which to create district. The big Bis
marck district is given Il representation
(bass5 also on population) of one coun-
oil member and two house members,
while many of the three county districts
are accorded larger legislative repres-
entation. There liz tradition abroad
that the capital was located by the CON-
mission with due regard to the conven-
ience of the greatest number
of people. The statistics upon which
the tel. tory wes districted do not sus-
tain this tradition. On the contrary they
indicate that the region surrounding
this capital ,s comparatively unocoa-
pied waste. These reflections are offered
at this time for winter consideration.

about while the long evenings last.

The Next Governor.

The following gossip from Washing
ton is given for what it is worth: The
interior department official who an.
nounced three months ago that the presi-
dent had chosen q man for the Dakota
governorship reiterates his statement.
He says there is no need for further
candidates entering the field. Ths presl-
dent has decided upon the man; and is
simply waiting for the close of the
present campaign, for the reason that an
appointment now might SAVIOR of an
attempt to Influence elections or nomina-
tions, and he will not permit even
suspicion of that sort. While nothing
really definite was said which may be
construed as giving an indication of the
name OF the man who holds the lucky
number which is to throw the prize. it
was admitted, partially, that he is resi-
dent of north Dakota, and has been
accused of being more Minnesota man
than territorial resident. 1t is proba-
BILE that he has been named and nom.
mated by Hon. P. FL. Kelly and Mr..
Doran, ac well as by Bartlett Tripp and
Judge Church. He now holds an i'm
| portant government office.
