A Passenger Train Ditched Near Osal
City, Kan.-Four Men Killed.

A Passenger Train Ditched Near Osago
City, Kan.-Four Men Killed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. IA frightful
wreck occurred on the Santa Fe railroad
a few miles west of Usage City at 8 a.
| M Wednesday. The cars were ditched by
train robbers, and four of the train
crew were killed and about twenty five
passengers seriously injured. The
coaches and sleeping cars were
well filed with passengers, near
" all of whom were asleep
when the accident occurred. The
train was ditched by distractions
placed on the rails and it rolled down
steep embanlkment The day coaches
in the forward part of the train were
telescoped and it was in these coaches
that most of the injured passengers
were located.
The train was the Missouri River
night express from Denver and San
Francisco. In the express car there
was about $4,000 600 which was being
shipped by the Mexican Central
Railroad Company through to it's gen
eral offices in Boston. The object
of the wreckers was not accomplished
owing to the manner in which the ex-
press car was buried by the coaches
that were piled upon it in general con-
fusion. So high was the wreckage
heaped that it was literally impossible
to find the locomotive, let alone the
treasure box.
The place selected for the wreck lies
between Barclay and Usage City. There
is a heavy grade there and frequent
curves mark the course Of the track.
East-bound trains pass over this
stretch with great speed and the
fated night express was making
80 miles an hour when it
rounded a curve so yards west of the
point where the wreclAers had removed
the bolts from the east end of rail,
swinging it outward toward the en-
bankment, thus switching the train off

mountains Of New Hampshire I worked
for a afarner, and was given span Of hors-
ers to plow with, one Of which was four
year-old colt, The COLI, otter walking 3
few steps, would lie down in the flrrow.
The farmer was prooked, and told me to
sit on the colts head, to keep him from
rising while be whipped him, 10 break
him O. That notion as he said. But Just
then q neighbor came by. He said
There is something wrong here: LET
him get up and let us examine He
pstted the colt, looked at the harness,
and then said Look at this collar il is
20 long and narrow, and carries the
harness SO high, that when he begins to
pull ii slips back and ehokes him go he
can't breathe And so il was; and but
for that neighbor We would have whip
ped as kind a creature as We had on the
farm because he laid down when he
couldn't breathe.
at was only the other day I heard Of
a valuable St Bernard dog being shot,
because, having a wound on his head,
concealed by the hair, he bit person
who handled him roughly. Boys, young
and old, please remember that these

hungry, or thirsty, or cold, or faint, OF

Old or New Meadows.

Some old meadows are better than
some new meadows close by, while 9TH
ers are not so good. Old meadows on
well drained land that has been regular
ly top dressed, moved at the right time
and otherwise properly cared for, will
yield hay Of a more uniform character
and quality than most new meadows
But old meadows, or lands that have not
been drained ortop dressed, on which
the grass has been allowed to ripen seed
before being mown, or has been heavily
pastured, viii not yield as large crops,
nor viii the hay be as good as might
have been grown from new seeding.
Furthermore, all old meadows are liable
70 become foul with weeds sown By the
wiEds or scattered NTH the manure.
Against ressedingi Is 10 be counted the
cost Of breaking up, ofthe see !, and Of
the danger Of failure 70 secure a stand.
Old meadows generally consist of one or
two grasses, while new meadows should
eontsin at least half dozen. The ques-
ton, therefore, as 10 whetherit is best to
plow up an old meadow or not must be
determined by its condition and the
needs Of the farm.-Jersy BuUajn.
