IT is among the possibilities that one
 more territory. at least may be admitted to statehood by the present Congress.
 1t is expected that bills for the admis- sion of Arizona, probably New Mexico, and possibly Utah may be reported in the House. Adyices from Washington indicate that reports in favor of the admission of Arizona and Oklahoma are likely to be made in the Senate, but that report in favor of the admission of New Mexico and Utah cannot be looked for in that body. The admission of Utah is opposed on the ground of it's Mormon majority, and that of New Mexico on the ground that the back ward condition of it's population units it for admission. On the other hand, opposition is made to the admission of Oklahoma on the ground that it has been too recently settled, and that it's population lack the necessary character istic of permanence. On this showing the chances of Arizona for admission are good, and it has been suggested that Oklahoma may be admitted for reasons of compromise. --Bradstreet,

ANOTHER WRECK.
A Freight Train Flies the Track
On The Mo. Pacific, Going
Thirty Miles an Hour.

Another wreck occurred Monday
night on the Missouri Pacific Just
north of Carthage. The train was the
evening north bound freight number
2l5, which had pulled out from the
depot about , o'clock, the scene of
which is just beyond the Carthage
Marble and White Lime works in the
exact place the other occurred last
week. The accident was caused by
the spreading of the rails, due prob
ably 10 the fact that they were newly
laid and on loose ground and also the
point being on curve. The engine
was number $40, the same one that
was pulling the train at the time of
the other wreck. The train was made
up OF about - loaded cars and was
running at the rate of about so miles
an hour, this speed being necessary to
get over the grade further north.
Eight of the cars were thrown off the
track, the engine and one
car passing the break. The
ears thrown off were loaded
with stone, zinc ore, bed springs, and
live stock. Some of the hogs were
badly crippled and several killed. The
large fiat stones were considerably
broken. The remaining cars in the rear
of the train and caboo.e did not leave
the track. Work WAS begun at once
To clear the track and it is probable
trains will he running through to-day
without having to make Il transfer
each time. The railroad employees
will now he able to 90 10 work with
more confidence after the accident a.
it is the third that occurred within
last ten days, and owing to the fact
there is superstitious belief among
railroad people that three accidents
will always follow IN close succession.
Fortunately no one was hurt in last
nights wreck.-Cartkage Dan.

compared Italy, the home and strong
hold OF Roman Catholicism, with that
nursery of true blue Presbyterianism
and all the credits were on Tie side of
Scotland. \ nations glory, he added,
