In Death to Five.
BoIsE Cry, Ida, Sept. 81. A States
man special from Pocatello, Ida, says q
disastrous wreck occurred on the Union
Pacific at Pont Neuf, station six miles

He Immediately whistled down brakes

terrific. Before the collision the en-
gineers and firemen of both trains
jumped all escaping uninjured, except
one. A scene of confusion followed.
Engines and mail cars were piled in
heaps, and the groans of the injared filed
the air. The dead and wounded were
taken from the wreck and given the
best possible care

Pope Financially Em barrassed.

LONDON, Sept. 2f.--A dispatch from
Rome says THAI the financial condition
of the pope is getting to be almost en-
barrassing, and that, unless the contri-
buttons of the faithful flow in more lib
orally, his holiness will have to cut off
some of the expenses to which the papal
purse is now subject. 1t has
been suggested to do away with
the pension List of old servants and
dependents, who held office under the
temporal power and remained faithful
throughout the struggle. The pope, it
is said, refused to entertain the thought.

fenced Men.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-R. @. DUN g.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Actual improvement is seen in nearly
all the cities from which reports are re-
ceived this week. At Boston trade is
enlarging, with steady demand for boots
and shoes, and manufacturers quite well
employed, and the demand for dry goods
is excellent and for wool very fair. At
Philadelphia business is more active,
and the iYon market stronger. At
Cleveland trade in nearly all lines in
creases, and at Cincinnati the shoe busi-
ness is especially active, but the car
riage trade quiet. At Chicago some de-
crease in receipts of lard, butter and
wool, compared with last year, is re-
ported for the week, but increase in
barley, -four, cured meats, cheese, hides,
a gain of a quarter in oats, while re-
ceipts of rye and wheat are six times
those of last year. At Minneapolis
trade is active in lumber and -four, ship
ments of flour being more than double
those of last year. At St. Paul trade
Greatly Exceeds Expectations,
and at Omaha is good, though money is
close. AT Milwaukee it is observed that
the weather has greatly improved the
prospects as to corn. At st. Louis the
country banks are not drawing as heav-
ily for Northern crops, but the money is
going South for cotton, and at Kansas
City trade is satisfactory and money
easier. AT Nashville Improvement Is
seen and money is not so close as here
to fore. At Memphis the gain is slow,
but while money is not abundant the
market is easier At Savannah trade is
fair but the money market Is still tight,
and at New Orleans Improvement is
seen in groceries, rice is free and money,
though in good demand, is in sufficient

Education in The South.

One of the most gratifying reports
of the census is bulletin No. II, giving
figures on national
education. This bulletin shows that
the percentage of school enrolment
has increased since 1880 from 1881
to 2O.22 for the whole country. In
the New England and Middle States,
the enrolment during this time de-
creased from 1923 to 1857. In the
upper Mississippi States, there has
been a slight decrease. In the Pacific
States has been a slight increase, but
in the Southern States, from the
Chesapeake Bay to the Rio Grande
there has been a market and signifi-
can't increase, and it has been mainly
among the negroes.
There has been almost q constant
fight in every Republican Congress
since the war to interfere between the
Southern whites and blacks. The
whites have been abused for the treat
ment of the negroes; but this census
bulletin shows the negroes to be max
ing more progress in education than
the whites and mainly at the expense
of the whites. All the negro schools
are crowded, they are multiplying
and their standard of scholarship
is being advanced, and the white
people are paying most of the ex-
penses, what an argument POrter's
figures on the education of the negro
is furnishing against the force BILL

CHARACTER ON CHANCE.
The Cards Curse Another Mans Life.

The recent defalcation in this city
of ]. M. Pendleton, Sect'y and Treas.
of the Twin-City Club and manager
of the w. U. Telegraph office; tells
the same old story-it tells of trust
betrayed and Of confidence violated.
Mr.. Pendleton, who has left our city
with cloud of dishonor shadowing
his name, is only one of the many
victims that have fallen because
they did not have the strength to
Withstand temptation, and 80 as
result he goes away wearing the
brand of thief, defaulter and an en-
bezzler. These are hard terms to
apply to a man, but do they not fit-
tingly follow such offenses7 Mr..
Pendleton was the trusted custodian
of the funds of the Twin-City Club,
who had for the past twelve months
been laying aside funds with which
to furnish and ornament their new
club room, and had already accumu-
lated about S: 900 of the necessary
amount. All of this has been swept
away, even to the collections made
the day before his departure.
Mr.. Pendleton states in his letter
to Mr.. Sheppard that his losses were
caused by speculation. It is rumor-
ed here that the word speculation
was used as milder term for gam
bling, playing games Of chance with
cards and that he owed his downfall
to these treacherous methods for
making money. We have good au-
thority for the statement that there
has been great deal of gambling
going on in this city and we add
here that if it is true it is by no
means to the credit of our city off,
cials, and it is an unmistakeahle ev-
idence of a dereliction of duty that
it is not broken up. 1t will not do
to permit it here and no efforts
should be spared to stamp out the
evil. Gambling is a curse to any
community it is the giddy whirl-
pool of hell-a black, seething
mealstron that soon draws its VIC
TINS from circumference to centre
and snatches from him his integrity,
his honesty, his industry and his
good character, and clothes him in
the rags of the rogue and rows
around him the mantle of thief
and brands him with dishonor and
disgrace.
So dangerous is gambling to the
morality and good being of a COM
munity that our State has seen fit to
pass laws imposing heavy fines and
penalties upon all who engage in it
for pleasure or profit.
We trust that the present example
will tend to stimulate the efforts of
our city officials to break it up here
at any cost. It is an insiduous foe
to morality-a dangerous enemy of
honor, and will in the end subyert
all of high and noble principals of
an exalted manhood and leave in its
sted the barren waste of desolation
and dishonor, the twin harpies of a
ruined and lost character-of a hope
less life.

SHE ENDED HER LIFE.
Because she fYoung Man Broke or
the EnHaEement.

A special from Birmingham, Ala,
says: Miss Annie Tregasser, a young
woman twenty-five years old, and
daughter of a hotel keeper at Bes-
semer, died on saturday. The cause
Of her death was scrupulously con-
cealed by her parents, and the story
was only revealed tonight.
She was engaged to young
man named Gus Sievert, to whom
she was devotedly attached.
Some weeks ago q young man
named Fred Stricker, who owed the
family q board bill, circulated reports
about her character, and told her
betrothed that she had been unusu-
ally intimate with other men. For
this cause Sievert broke off the en-
gagement, and the young woman be-
came despondent. Some two weeks
ago she complained of toothache,
and at her request her own mother
bought her some morphine to ease
the pain.
SHE TAKES THE MORPHINE.
Her old lover. who boards at the
hotel discovered her in the act of tax
ing it, and took it away from her.
On Friday she found the morphine
in Sievert's pants, which were hang
ing in his room, and wrote a fare
we'll letter to him and her relatives
that night. She called ,Sievert in her
sis'..; ! room, showed him a glass,
tot. '.;;. the poison was in it and
that size was going to take it. He
laughed, told her he didn't believe it.,
and walked away.
She swallowed the contents and
died next day in great agony. Her
letter to her old lover was very pa
thetic, vowing her innocense, her de-
voted love, and calling him her sweet
heart.

Mementoes of the Bostian Bridge
Disaster.

Mrs. A. L. Sink, of Lexington,
walked out on the streets Friday for
the first time since her serious inju-
ry in the wreck at Bostian bridge,
says the Salisbury Herald. While
one of the most severely injured
passengers Mrs. Sink is improving
fast. will soon be entirely well and
will not be so badly disngured as
was feared from the nature of her
wounds. Since returning to Lex
ington seven splinters from the
wreck have been taken from Mrs.
Sinks face and neck. One of these
is 81 inches in length, others being
over an inch long. Mrs. Sink has
all of the splinters and will keep
them as mementoes of her terrible
experience. Mr.. Sink, who is still
at Statesville, is able to sit up and
will be taken to Lexington the last
of this week. His broken thigh is
knitting together slowly.
