To cleaning things Of every kind.

From painted walls to pimpled face.

When rain descends and rivers rise;
So while we have life to save.

Collision Near Omaha.


OMAHA, NEB., October ia terrible
wreck occurred on the Burlington & Mis-
souri, River railroad at Gibson, few miles
from Omaha. About fifty passengers were
injured, two engines were completely de-
molished and a chair car and combination
car we're thrown from the trakcs and reduced
to atoms. Tram No. +, the local between
Lincoln and Chicago, ran into No. 8; the
former was east and the latter westbound.
Gibson is the meeting point, and the place
where the crew on No. 8, which is stub
train that makes connection with the Kan
sas City express, stoIs to register. Both
trains are due at Gibson at 6:45 p. M, but
No. 9 was slightly behind. When the acct
dent occurred the latter had just crossed the
spur and the engine on No. struck the end
hurting both engines and the two coaches
from the track.
The combination coach and the chair car
were both crowded with passengers, all of
whom were more or less injured. White
Reuland, proprietor of the fremont house,
Sixteenth and Burt streets, was injured to
such an extent that he died shortly after be-
ing taken to the hospital. The chair car
after being overturned caught fire and many
of the passengers were burned in addition
to their other injuries. but those who had
escaped comparatively safe aided in the
work of relieving their pain. Seventeen
persons thus far have been reported injured,
none of them fatally.

Railway Trainmen.

ST. PAUL, MINI, October 1S.-The i'm
portant features of the session of the Broth
erhood of Railway Brakeman were the off,
GERS reports, which were read in detail.
The most important recommendations,
however, were made by Vice Grand Master
Slattery, of Butte. First of ALL he was in
favor of changing the name of the order to
''The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen."
Reason for this is found in the fact that at
least one-third of the membership is made
up of conductors baggagemen and others,
80 that the present title is no longer distinc-
tive or popular. Mr.. Slattery also advo-
Gated state unions to Re held annually under
the supervision of the grand master, and
closed as fellows:
The third recommendation is in regard
TO the relief schemes that are now being
pushed forward by several of the leading
railroads of this country, namely, the Phil
adelphia & Reading, Baltimore d Ohio,
Pennsylvania. ard Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy, and would say to all members of
our brotherhood that it is to your interests
to investigate all schemes of this kind thor
oughly and carefully, and if thus is done I
am very sure that you will arrive at the
same conclusion regarding them as have,
and that is to let them alone, as they are
only q snare to draw you on and make you
. slave to your employer"

PLUMB AND PETERS.

On a Tour OF Inspection Of the
Sorghum Sugar Factories Of the
State.
STERLING, KAN, October 19.-Hon p. B.
Plumb and Congressman Peters have been
on q tour of inspection to the different sugar
and syrup factories of the state. They were
driven out to the Sterling syrup works,
where the government has established one
of its experiment stations, and were highly
gratifed with the information gained, and
amazed at the many varieties of cane
planted for experimental purposes, there
being over 400 different kinds of seed, which
were imported from nearly every country
on the globe. The concretor was fully ex-
planned to them. The latest analysis of 81
2-10O ,crose created genuine surprise, and
will add much to the weight of their report
to congress. Both gentlemen are sanguine
of the ultimate success of the Kansas sugar
industry, and will use their best efforts to
keep the government in sympathy with the
idea, and will ask for further and increased
aid for the experiment stations. They have
left for their respective homes.
