As the two trains came together there
was a terrible shock, no one on board
either, except the men in the cabs realiz~
ing what had happened until all was
over. 1t seems that the engineers on both
trains had seen the approaching headlights
ahead. but as the c., B It Q and c., R.
|. Il P. tracks are parallel foT consider
able distance there, each thought the
other train was on the c., R |, & P
track. As soon as possible train was
sent up from this city, with Or. Calvin
Truesdaie, surgeon of this division of the
road.

A serious and perhaps fatal accident
occurred on the c., B. @. road two miles
east of Moline. at about 1875 last night,
a freight train running on wild time dash
ing into passenger train, resulting IN
painful injuries to several passengers and
train men, and the engineer on the passen-
ger train receiving bruises and cuts which
NAV cause him his life.
The particulars OH te unfortunate affair
as neatly as they can be obtained, place
the blame upon the freight train crew
which left Rock Island at 10 O'Clock last
night for Galesburg. The train was
to run on regular time to Moline, from
whence it was to continue as wild train.
1t left Moline about 1890 and when two
miles out met the incoming Savanna,
which was five minutes late and travelling
at the rate of about fortytive miles an
hour The locomotives rushed into each
other and locked, the engineers and fire
men on both locomotives having scarcely
time to leap The passenger due at
Rock Island at 1915. was in charge of

occurred IN the baggage car Mr. J J .
Bartholomew. a commercial traveller of
Philadelphia, bound from Clinton to
Rock Island, and Mr. Chas. Never, of
Chicago, ca route from Savanna to Rock
Island, were talking in the rear of the
smoker. Mr. Meyer was sitting upon
the coal box and Mr. Bartholomew was
standing Mr. Meyer was thrown back
over the box, wrenchinc his hack and
rupturing himself When be recovered
he discovered Mr.. Bartholomew living fiat
on his face in the baggage department Of
the car. He went to him and found him
UNCONSCIOUS ard his face covered with
blood which was oozing from gashes on
the forehead. There were few other
passengers on the train, but none were
hurt. The train with the disabled crew
in charge of Engineer James Wixon
was 500: on its way back to Rock Island,
and upon its arrival here, Mr.. Headv
was taken to Mrs. Phillips boarding
house on Second avenue and Sixteenth
street, Mr.. Bartholomew to the Harper
house and Messrs. Allen and Movers to
the Commercial house. DR.. Truesdale
was then enabled TO make more thor
Ough examination as to
ENGINEER HEADYs CONDITION.
The scalp was torn and hung down over
the eye brows and the doctor found it
necessary to remove small quantity of
broken bones before the wounds could
be dressed. DR.. Truesdale gives it as his
opinion that Heady NAV recover. though
the chances are against him
Mr. Bartholomew was interviewed at
the Harper house and said: Il knew
nothing from the time | was talking in
the smoker until | recovered from nv
swoon IN the baggage department. 1t
was the most peculiar sensation ever
experienced. | did not even know what
struck me. Mr.. Bartholomew has
some ugly cuts about the forehead and
lips, and his clothes were badly torn, but
he will be about in short time again.
Heady seems to have been the only man
who suffered internal injuries.
CONDITION OF THE WRECK.
The scene of the wreck was visited BY
an ARGUS reporter this morning The
locomotives were badly demoralized.
They had not left the track neither had
the cars, but the boilers and wheels
seemed all that was left of the engines

feast, are permitted to enter this
paradise of their selfish souls, this
too will be cut of, and nothing will
be left for the poor children of Lo
but to take upon themselves the
rank of an American gentleman of
leisure-a tramp. God forbid!
The children are cared for kindly.
The healthy are required to work
half day, attending school the
other half. The sick are nursed,
and nourishing food provided. If
they get very sick, and no prospect
of their recovery, they are taken
home by some of the employees. A
few weeks ago one of our incest
girls (Lizzie Stanton), an Arahapoe,
was taken $50 miles, in wagon, to
her home at Darlington, near Fort
Reno. During the journey she was
tenderly waited upon. The route
lay over vast prairies, where un.
bridged rivers had to be forded.
The hotels were dugouts and log
ranches; the natives, prairie dogs,
cattle, wolves, horned-toads and
frogs; the travellers, cowboys and
Indians; the distractions, wire
fences.
The training schools scattered
over this country are good homes
for these poor orphan children; it is
the only home many of them have
ever had. 1t is to be hoped that
the instruction they receive here,
the moral influences that have
been thrown around them, may
terminate and bear good fruit; and
that out of these ranks may spring
forth leader who will lead his peo-
pie, in the face of all opposition, to
a land which will flow with milk
and honey.
Chilacco is situated six miles
south of Arkansas City, Kansas,
and x mile south of the Kansas
line, in the Indian Territory. 1t is
healthy country here, and the
land is good; it will make on an
average 40 bushels of corn to the
acre.
These Oklahama boomers, that
are scattered over the adjoining
States, are hungering and thirsting
after the Indians land. The land
is Uncle Sans, and he has soldiers
camped here all the time. and
these boomers had as well run
their head against a stone wall as
to try to settle on this land until he
says so. 1t is true this is fine

country, but it is not open to settle
ment.
Some of the Indians are very in
telligent. They work their own
land, raise their own stock. Some
have very nice houses to live in,
while others prowl around over the
prairies with their blankets around
them; and what they find to eat is
eaten with much relish. Some
have good clothes to wear, while
others have nothing but a blanket
and buckskin leggins.
We have good crops this year OF
chinch bugs and potato bugs, which
have about cleaned up the buffalo
grass and have commenced on the
corn, although they will not dam
age it any, as it is already made.

Maine to the cotton fields of the

West. Scanning the bold chirogra-

You may never have the oppor-

your many readers pen portrait
ure of Chilacco Indian School.
It is q large four-story stone
building, with wings. 1t is nearly
fledged, and has not taken any up
ward flight, hence it is not widely
known; but we fear at times that
these Kansas zephyrs may some
day bring it into notoriety.
Surrounding the large building
are six neat cottages, which are
used as laundry, sewing room, Office,
and dining-room for the employees.
The building is intended to accom-
modate two hundred children, al
though it is hardly large enough to
comfortably board that number.
During the past year one hun
bred and ninety-five children, rep
resenting twelve different tribes,
have been educated, clothed and
fed, at an expense of $4,000 each
per annum. The girls are taught
sewing and all the other arts neces-
sary to make successful housekeep-
ers. The boys are taught to be
farmers, shoemakers, blacksmiths,
tailors, bakers and carpenters.
They are taught to discard the tepe
or tent, and build in its place a
comfortable house. They seem to
appreciate the efforts very much.
There is an extensive farm here,
500 acres, giving the Indian youth
a wide range in which to cultivate
his talent for about the only means
of subsistence available to him;
and if the boomers, who are wait
ing, like hungry wolves, to gobble
up the last crumb of a once mighty
