Louis on the c.. B. &. O., due at 6:45. ar
rived three hours late, owing to collis>
ion at G ,lesburg. The night express
coming out of St. Louis aud in charge of
Conductor Terry. with Engineer Horn in
the cab, was standing on the customary
siding at Galesburg, waiting for connec>
tions. when Conductor Frazer's freight
from this city. and pulled by Engineer
Ranges engine, rushed into it. The en-
brace of the two locomotives was
not an afectionate one and the
unoffending passenger engine seemed to
feel worse than the one causing the mis- =
chief. as it was tipped over on its side,
while the other one had it's boiler STAYED
IN. Both engines were rendered useless
and the main line was 80 blocked with
freight cars that it was necessary after
providing the passenger train with a new
engine to back down to Monmouth and
come up that way. The accident is at
tributable to the freight train en-
gineer who is said to have
lost his bearings on going into the yards
at GAlesburg. Conductor Frazer. how
ever, realized the danger and had his
brakemen out and IA to 16 brakes set be-
fore the engines came together, but 1t was
impossible to avert the collision.
No one was injured lin the passenger
train. and considering circumstances the
damage to the freight train was not as
great as it might have been.

Musical Sound. and Noise.

1t is a curious fact that musical sounds
fly farther and are heard at a greater
distance than those which are more loud
and noisy. If we go on the outside of a
town during a fair, at the distance of a
mile we hear the musical instruments,
but the din of the multitude, which is SO
overpowering in the place, can scarcely
be heard, the noise dying on the spot.
To those who are conversant with the
power of musical instruments the fol-
lowing observation will be understood:
The violins made at Cremona about the
year 1900 are superior in tone to any of a
later date, age seeming to dispossess
them of their noisy qualities and leaving
nothing but the pure tone. If a modern
violin ia played by the side of one OF
those instruments it will appear much
the louder of the two, but on receding a
hundred PAGES, when compared with the
Cremona, it will scarcely be heard

Among the great masses who must
toll for their daily bread, certainly many
have not yet devoted themselves to till
ing the soil, and on this account their
enemies have devised the charge that
Jews are of no use in agriculture, that
they are averse to all hard work. Here
also experience gives a r~efutation. In
the lands where Jews have been per-
mitted to acquire landed property, where
they nave found opportunity to devote
themselves to agriculture, they have
proved themselves excellent farmers.
For example, in Hungary they form q
very large part of the tillers of the soil,
and this fact is acknowledged to such an
extent that the high Catholic clergy in
Hungary almost exclusively have Jews
as tenants on mortmain properties, and
almost all large landholders give prefer
ence to the Jews on account of their in
dustry, their rectitude and their dex-
terity. These are facts that cannot be
hid, and that have force, 80 that the
anti-Semitic movement, which for q
long time fourished in Hungary, must
expire.
1t will expire because every one sees
that 80 important a factor in the pro-
ductive activity of the country-especi-
ally in northumberland be spared.
My own personal experience, too, has led
me to recognize that the Jews have very
good ability in agriculture. have seen
this personally in the Jewish agricul-
tural colonies Of Turkey. and the re-
ports from the expedition that 1 have
sent to the Argentine Republic plainly
show the same fact.-Baron de Hirsch

nor could the police find a clew as to the
routes they took. 1t was easily proved
that they had in some way manufacture
or secured keys to the inner doors, but as
to the main door which let them out into
the rear jailyard such a proceeding was
impossible, for there was a double system
of locking there, and the same is true OF
the door which opened from the ''bul;
ring" where the prisoners take their sxer-
else, into the kitchen hallway. That both
these doors were opened by inside confed-
crates seems certain. Once in the jailyard
the men climbed n low cooking shed to the
wall, jumped down into Eleventh street
and were off.
They are all historic characters. John
David Shea takes first rank. and this is
the third time he has broker out of the
st. Louis Jail. On Nov. z, 1881, Shea,
then in prison for ordinary larceny,
escaped, and That evening Officer Pat
Doran met him. Without a word he placed
his pistol to Doran's head and fired, killing
the officer instantly. Nov. Z, 1882, while
under sentence for this murder, he again
escaped, and five years later was found in
the Pennsylvania penitentiary serving a
five years term for burglary. He was
taken to st. Louis and sentenced to be
hanged, got a new trial and WAS sentenced
to the penitentiary for fifty years, took an
appeal and pending that appeal has once
more escaped.

REV. GEORGE WASHINGTON KILDow.
n police station cell; once more to his
brides society and finally in gentle Gus
tody-all in five days. Such is the ex-
traordinary history of George Washing
ton Kildow, Presbyterian evangelist and
scholar, formerly prize student, athlete
and cowboy.
The physicians say that a few weeks rest
will quite restore his health. He has had
a very mo career, and of all the stu
dents at the Central university of Ken
lucky he was about the last one who would
have been suspected of liability to insanity.
He had the largest head in the place,
wearing a III hat, took first rank In Latin.
Greek and Hebrew, preached with extraor-
binary ability and wrote poetry which has
attained wide recognition. His money gave
out and he worked on a ranch in Texas,
being known as the "parson cowboy who
never cussed." He next served with sue
cess as an evangelist, and finally married
Miss Rena McNaughton, a beautiful Nash
willie girl.
The second day of the bridal tour brought
them to the Kimball House at Atlanta
That evening there was a disturbance and
early mex morning Manager Porter, in
response to an imperative call, entered
the room to find a pale and trembling
bride aud an excited groom who demanded:
Are you a believer in Jesus Christi"
OF course the hotel man was, 80 the
preacher went down with him and began
writing queer kilograms. The police in
Ierfered and he then raved Hercely. A day
in the Providence infIrmary quieted him
and he returned to his bride, only to go
wild again the next day. Friends came
and took him in charge. He insisted on n
suit against the city for s100,0 600 and one
against the Kimball House for $50, 600.

ed by one OF the regular city detectives
named Byram.
When asked regarding the case Mr.. By
ram refused to give particulars. The re-
porters, who in San Francisco as well as
elsewhere can often give points to the
average sleuth and then beat him at his
~favorite game, thereupon instituted an in
quiry of their own, and it was not long be-
fore they found out that the missing woman
was Mrs. Emily Hort Maillard, grand
daughter of Capitalist Samuel Hort, daugh-
ter of NJ. NJ. T~ompkins, a wealthy mer-
chant, and for ten years wife of Joseph
Maillard, who has a big ranch near San
Geronimo. During the latter part Of Au-
gust she went to San Rafael, and then dis
appeared. taking with her a trunk full OF
new clothes.
For nearly a month the papers teemed
with surmises, suggestions and suspicious.
The other day. however, Mr.. Maillard tele-
graphed to the San Francisco authorities:
Please stop search. l found Mrs. M. Mind
deranged.
Neither the family nor the police. who
seemed to be familiar with the facts, would
vouchsafe any further information a
that "she was somewhere in southern Cali
fornia." Then the reporters went to hus-
Ting again, and located the woman at a
logging camp in Humboldt county, where
she was living with William Ingram, a
former employee of her father-in-law The
sheriff of Monterey called on the ex-hired
man and his companion, and after his de-
parture Ingram fled, leaving Mrs. Mail
lard to shift for herself.

JOHN G. URCHELL-MAR OsMOND.
The last few months nave been unusual
1y prolific in cases of alleged love followed
by murder. John l.. Osmond was a ne'er
do well of New York city, who seven years
ngo married Mary Murphy. He was sus-
picious, unsettled and quarrelsome, but
They managed to live together till his aunt
died and left her little property, perhaps
$4,000. to her adopted son, John G.. Burch-
ell. The Osmonds went to live with
Burchell in the house the aunt had occu-
pied. Then Osmond's conduct grew I'M
bearable; he went elsewhere to room and
his wife applied for a divorce.
A few evenings later he entered the
house, and seeing Burchell, Mrs. Osmond
and the %latter's sister, Ella Murphy, seated
at the kitchen table, he turned loose with
Al revolver. Mrs. Osmond was killed by
two shots and Burchell MORALLY wounded.
The murdered womsn's character was so
good that there were indications OF a lynch
Ing, but the police got Osmond safely to
Jail, where he now awaits trial for a double
murder, OF course his plea is that his wife
twas unfaithful, but against this the testi-
inony seems overwhelming.
Less tragic in it's details, but equally sad,
IS the story Of Tessie McCabe. Within u
year she was wooed, married and deserted,
and now she and her baby lie in Calvary
cemetery, near New York. Teresa Nc
tabe lived with her widowed mother u
