RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Engineer Killed and Two Passen-
gers Fatally Injured.

The Jacksonville Il Southeastern
fast passenger train, which left Peoria
ILL.,, at $50 on the morning OF March
9th, met with a terrible accident at
Havana. The train consisted OF
baggage car. coach, chair car and two
sleepers and was an hour and a half
behind time, owing to the terrible
storm raging. At Havana there Is a
sharp curve mile and half from the
depot, and the engine struck the curve
at switch and left the treck, all the
cars following, piling up in great con-
fusion. The half-dressed passengers
clambored out of the windows of the
cars, bareiooted, and made their way
through the sleet and over, he icy road,
for the nearest house. The passen-
gers who were in the coach extricated
their injured companions. Under the
engine was fireman Saddler, who was
instantly killed. BY the side of the
fireman was Engineer Barkenhaadf of
Peoria, with one arm and leg cut off.

Ing train was sent out from Jackson
vile at once, but when it reached the
scene fire had sweps the debris away
with the exception OF the iron work
and engine. A special train was made
up at once and the uninjured passen-
gers sent on their way. All the in
jured, excepting Lewis and Hammett,
were taken to the hospital in Jackson
vile. II is thought that the wreck
was caused by a broken rail or ice ou
the track, which let the engine slip
from the rails at the curve. The loss
to the company, including death and
accident claims, will not fall short OF
100000. An unusually small list of
passengers were aboard the train.
The people in the sleeper were not In
jured, but had to make their way for
mile through the terrible snow storm
to shelter.

ANOTHER EVANGELINE.
Mrs. Greenwood Close Upon her
Husband Whom She has Long
Pursued,

Mrs. May Greenwood, UP to FIVE
years ago a resident OF hartford, Wis,
passed through Tacoma, Washington,
March 8, en- route TO Portland in
search OF her husband, Six years ago
she met Ralph Greenwood at her
fathers hotel and married him in OPP
position TO the wishes of her parents.
Greenwood was then and is now
travelling salesman for "a Chicago
house. For a year she was happy, but
on the birth of her boy, Greenwood's
demeanor changed, his visits became
less and less frequent, and on Christ
mas day five years ago note was
placed at her plate at the breakfast
table which said: ''For reasons | can
not explain have decided to end my
life" At the end OF it was the sigma
ture of her husband. A shorJ time
afterward a body was found in
neighboring lake which friends ideuti-
fled as that OF her husband. Her baby
died. Then rumor reached hor that
the story Of Greenwood's suicide
was base imposition for the
purpose of covering up his past life
and record. She traced him to Mil
waukee. but was too late, and upon
her arrival found that he had left for
San Francisco. She followed him 10
that city, from there TO New York,
and nearly all over Europe, but was
always too late. A short time ago she
heard of him at Tacoma and went
there at once. At Seattle she found
that he had lett the day before for
Portland, and she is in hopes OF finally
overtaking him.

FARMERS 70. WAR.
They Propose to Organize a Combine
for Their Own Protection.

A new alliance movement says a
Topeka dispatch, contemplates the
formation of huge grain and live
stock trust including Nebraska, Kan.
sas, Missouri, and Iowa. Frank Nc
Grath, president Of the Farmers alli-
ance, says that the project is one OF
the results OF the failure of the alliance
legislatures to pass certain bill. Dis
trict alliances are being formed in
every congressional district, and pro.
visions being made for building cold
storage and grain depots. The district
alliancewill be made up OF sub,alll-
ances. In this way constant com.
munication from individual members
OF the aliance is to be had. ave will
know how many cattle each individual
member Of the alliance has on hand"
said Mr.. McGrath "and he can hold
them without selling for need OF ready
cash. A record OF these facts will be
kept No individual member will sell
his grain to option men or brokers,
but when he is obliged 20 sell the grain
will be taken by the alliance. The
same thing will follow with cattle.
We will have agents in Kansas City,
Chicago, and ST. Louis who will keep
the district alliances posted as TO the
market and the demand. Upon this
information the demand will be sup.
piled, and no more, at n fixed price
determined by the alliance. No option
wheat will be on the market. There
will be no specializing on grain before
harvest. The four states in this trust
will practically control the wheat and
cattle markets of the United States.
The commission each day will wire
farmers TO send in certain amount of
wheat or cattle, as the case may be,
ealing on the ones who are the hard
est pressed for cash. The amount de-
manded to supply the market that day
will be apportioned among the dis
tricts equally, and in turn apportioned
by the district alliance. No farmer
who is a member Of the alliance will
sell his products till called upon. BY
this plan wheat fluctuations in prices
will be avoided. Other state alliances
are expected TO join the movement.
The new scheme is modelled in detail
after the whisky trust. We have de.
cided that we must fight the devil with
fire; that is, we must fight trusts and
combinations with trusts and combln.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Statistics Prepared by the Ameri-
can Board.

The summary oil statistics compiled
by the American Board of Foreign
Missions gives u comprehensive view
of the Protestant Missionary work as
it stood at the beginning of this year.
In Japan y Protestant missions have
a total adult native membership OF
2S, 977. This does not include these
who attend church, but are not mem
bers. or the 800 members of the new
Japanese parliament elected last July,
II are professcjly Christians. There
are 527 missionaries in China. Con-
sidering the number of missionaries
and the number OF years they have
been working, the results are not so
satisfactory, This is due to the
stolidity of the Chinese character.
There are one thousand two bdndred
and ninety-live Protestant mission
aries, while the number of adult
ma tive communicates is 37,2S7. In
India and Ceylon the results are most
satisfactory OF all, the native Chris

Ii has been observed that sisters

may frequently trespass upon the

fond OF reading, and desires to give
the greater part OF her leisure time to
II, another may keep interrupting her
by conversation, or by appeals for
help in some lesson or work, that
might better be dispensed with under
the circumstances. This alone often
leads to unknd thoughts and un-
pleasant words.
Sisters should help each other to
spend and enjoy their wcll-earnod
leisure as each wishes, always pro-
vided that this will be In II correct
manner. A little more practice OF the
golden rule from each will often
change turmoil and hard repronchful

PRICE OF TEA TO ADVANCE.

A Shortage of 81, 900, 900 Pounds In
This Years Crop-lts Eject.
The tea crop this year Is q, 900, 900
pounds short, and this shortage will
cause an increase in price to the con-
sumner OF 10 cents u pound. Harold
Weddle, n tea grower ana importer,
whose main Office Is In New York,
said that late advices were TO tho effect
that the shortage was caused by the
"blight" disease which breaks out
at irregular periods in tea plantations
in China, India and Ceylon, which
produce nearly all OF the tea that Is
used in the world. Each year In adj
vance tho growers estimate what tho
years crop will be. The tea is now
being harvested and reports from all
points OF the tea growing districts OF
China show that the actual amount OF
tea harvested will be $4,000, 1000
pounds less than the estimated amount.
India and Ceylon have not Jared so
badly, the crop in those countries com.
bined being only 3,o00,000 pounds be.
low the estimate.

INCREASE IN THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Minneapolis Millers are Producing
More Than 10000 Barrels Daily.

More Than 10000 Barrels Daily.
The Northwestern Miller says: The
talk about the -four output being cur
tailed, which prevailed last week,
did not pan out, as instead of a
decrease being shown there was quite
an increase. The aggregate produc-
ton Tor the week was 1913, 275 barrels,
averaging 20, 5i6 for the week, 49,
$50 barrels the corresponding period
in 1890, and sc, 700 barrels in 1889.
The waterpower has been little poorer
than ever lately, and probably not to
exceed 3. 500 barrels per day is being
ground by that kind OF power. There
were thirteen mills running and they
were producing at the rate OF about
20, 600 barrels daily. Some millers
report that the demand for -four rather
improved for awhile, considerable
sales having been made on export ac-
count. Several round lots OF patents
were sold for foreign shipment,
though the prices Obtained were I'M
pleasantly close 10 cost. Bakers were
IN active demand and one hrm reports
having sold 200 cars one day. Low
grades were also in good request from
abroad. There was another class OF
millers whose experience had not been
of such favorable character. None
Of the local firms claim to be selling as
much flour as they are grinding, not a
few of them working on orders taken
some time back. Prices are and Zoe
higher than a week ago, and should
the advance in wheat hold they will
put up still more. The export ship
ments for the week were 40, $50 bar
rels, against 81, 100 barrels the pre-
ceding week. London quotations for

Food wpst.d In American u,,.i..

The thing which, perhaps, strikes
me most dlsagrceabIy In the American
hotel dining-rooms, says Fronchman
In the North American Review. Is tho
sight OF the tremendous waste that
goes on ut every meal. No European,
| suppose, can fail to he struck with
this; but TO Frenchman u would
naturally DO most remarkable. In
France, where | venture TO say, poo
pie live ms well rs anywhere else, II
not better, there Is a perfect horror
OF anything like waste OF good food.
IL is to me, therefore, u repulsivc
hing TO SEQ tho wanton manner In
which some Americans will waste ut
one meal enough TO feed several
hungry fellow-creaturcs. In the large
hotels conducted on tho American
plan there are rarely fewer than fifty
different dishes on tho menu at dinner
time. Every day and at every
meal you may see the people order
three or four times ms much OF this
food rs they could under any clrcum-
stances eat, and, picking at and spoil
ing one d ish after another send the
bulk away nncaten. ! am bound to
say that this practice Is not only OBJ
served In hotels whore the charge Is
so much day, but in those conducted
on the European plan--that is to say,
where you pay for everything you
order. There notice that people
proceed in much the same wasteful
fashion. IL Is evidently not u desire
TO have more than is paid for, but
simply a bad and ugly habit. hold
that about five hundred hungry people
could be fed out Of the waste that is
going on at some largo hotels.
