KANSAS CITY, Oct ga serious
%tail-eni wreck occurred this morning on
the Union Pacific near Armourdale. Nine
persons were seriously injured and the
engineer fatally. The east bound freight
which leaves the Union depot before the
Union Pacific passenger train, was delayed
near the scene of the accident and as there
was a very heavy fog, placed tcrpedoes on
the track to warn the following train.
The passenger engineer, warned by the tor
pedoes, stopped the train, and before the
flag man could be sent back to warn the
east bound Rock Island train which was
following, it crashed into the Pullman
sleeper Of the Union Pacific train. The
Rock Island engine was completely
wrecked and the engineer buried under
the debris. The fireman jumped but re-
ceived severe bruises. The damage is es-
umated at 500, 000.

CINoINNATI, Oct. GA disastrous
collision occurred at 4:40 O'Clock this
morning on the Cincinnati Southern in a
tunnel a quarter OF a mile north of Sloan's
Valley station between a freight and pas
senger train. The latte. left Cincinnati
at D. M. Another passenger train left
Cincinnati an hour earlier. Both of these
we're held at Somerset, KY, two hours or
more on account of a freight wreck south
OF that place last night. When the track
was clear the foremost Cincinnati train
started out from Somerset first, met and
passed safely the northbound freight.
Then the other passenger started out.
When the first Cincinnati train passed
out the crew of the freight appear to have
overlooked the fact that another was to
follow and they pulled out of the station
northward. Less than a quarter of a
mile away they entered a tunnel one-sixth
OF a mile long. In this most hopeless
place the trainmen met death. The en-
glnes OF the two trains dashed into each
other and the cars following caught fire,
lending the horror of a conflagration to
the scene.
Fortunately the passenger tain had not
entirely zone into the tunnel when the
crash came, and so the three sleepers,
which did not leave the track, served as a
means OF escape for the passengers. All
OF the train, except three sleepers, were
burned.
Engineer John Pimlott died this after
noon, making six victims of the tunnel

Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
c~heapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

Liberati's Great Band.


There was only fair attendance at the
Liberati military band concert at the Sc
attic opera-house last night; but those who
we're there enjoyed a rare musical treat.
The programme included number OF elab-
orate selections, which were rendered IN
most brilliant and artistic manner. Even the
long overture from the superiativeiy classi-
Cal "Tannhauser" was listened 10 with ap-
preciative attention by the audience; and
the more popular selections were greeted
with enthusiastic applause. The cornet
solo from LA Traviaia," by Signor Liber-
att was marvel of brilliant execution and
pure expression. and was received with a
demonstrative encore. There is a magnc-
tism about Lberati's playing that is pos
sessed perhaps by no other virtuoso; and
as bandmaster he is certainly one of the
greatest in the United States. Taken alto
gether. Liberaii's band is very strong mu-
steal organization, capable OF giving an en-
tertainment in every respect equal to the
weil-remembered series of a year age. The
band appears again this evening, in a var
led programme. two features of which are
to be euphoneum solo by signor Giannoni
and coraet solo by Signor Liberati. \
matinee will be given this afternoon.
