Wednesday afternoon as n freight
train was about to pull out, it broke in
two places. The local was in the
rear and was assisting the freight
train to get n start around the bend.
The brakeman on the front end signaled
the forward engineer to stop, but the
train in the rear continued to push
ahead and the result was the two sections
came together with acrash, telescoping
five freight cars and throwing three of
them down an embaniment fifteen
feet high. None of the train men were
injured. The accident delayed several
trains until the wreck train came from
Lima to clear away the debris, which
was about ii o'clock at night. Several
cars loaded with wheat were mashed
into kindling wood. AS to whom the
blame rests upon we are not informed,
but expect some hardworking fellow
will "get the run" to pay for it.

Governor Foster is evidently not
very much in love with the Sioux
Reservation lands. To reporter he
recently said ''My impression is that
they are not worth much for agricul-
tural purposes. Perhaps one-third OF
the whole cannot be used for grazing
and agriculture, being arid ground,
and OF the two-thirds remaining, the
greatest portion would be best for graz
ing. The climatic condition will have
to change before agriculture could be Il
success. For instance, during July
the thermometer ran up to ITO degrees
and the hot wave scorched everything
and blasted the crops. The rainfall il
not steady enough and irrigation is
necessary. The Missouri river could
be used for this. The stream is about
three-fourths of mile wide and can be
used for little else. But they car
raise fine vegetables out there. Fol
grazing, though, there can be nothing
said against the country. The grass is
cured standing and cattle live through
the winter by eating the nutritious
grass in the snow fields. l an

are capable of rapid advancement ant

The pump now at Cygnet will be OF
1000 barrel capacity daily. 1t will be
operated bya compound, triple expansion
engine, whose largest cylinder will be
81 inches in diameter. The oil will be
pumped from the engine into the ten
inch line already joined to it. The
masonry of solid stone and brick for
the other engine is completed, and will
just about fill the large pump house

Thousands OF young men from all
parts of the country, and especially the
eastern States, have been crowding
westward for number of years, thus
leaving larger proportion of young
women in eastern towns than men,
while in some parts of the West there
is great want OF female society. In
view Of this fact Mayor Wheelight. of
Tacoma, Washington Territory, has
forwarded to Mayor Hart OF Boston, n
resolution OF the council announcing
serious distress and calling for help.
The Toledo Post says, editorially:
This is not thing TO be hOoted at.
1t is simply an exigency arising from
one Of the phases OF our national develop
ment and it should be met in Il practi-
cal and business manner. What pros
poets have these. thousands of young
women, who toll daily in factories for
starvation wages, ut the East I Is 1t
policy for them TO waste their lives
while the vast undeveloped regions OF
the northwest offer them opportunities
to find homes and secure wealth and
happfnessf
But these young women should have
aid. They should not go in a harem-
scarem, pell nell, promiscuous way.
They should form companies OF volun-
tears Of known respectability-poor pos.
sibly in worldly goods, but rich In
heart, virtue, courage, womanhood-
and they should be accompanied by
trustworthy persons of experience. Lot
the procession proceed and let the
sturdy ,womanhood of New England
Impress is stamp upon the far west.
