The Welcome Rain.

MARsHFIELD, Wis. Sept. 1S.-Every
vestige of forest fires in this section was
put out by heavy dOwnpour of rain
this evening. At Merrill. Wis, a heavy
rain set in this afternoon, and is still
falling. Enough has already fallen to
put out all forest fires and all danger is
over. At Eau Claire, Wis, heavy rain
and high winds were general in that
section this afternoon, greatly to the
relief of lumbermen there, where mills
and timber were endangered by fires.
1t is reported that several houses
were unroofed by wind at Au-
gusta, this county. At Beloit,
the first rain in several weeks
fell today and there is prospect
for more. 1t has put out the fires in the
surrounding marshes. A dispatch from
Augusta andsother points reports that
the storm was almost a cyclone and
some damage was done to buildings and
maDy trees tOppled over.

ANOTHER Train WRECK.
SEVEN PEOELE KILLED AND A LARGE
NUMBER INJURED.

MANTENo, ILL.,. Sept. 1s.-At 9:2O to-
night the second section of the Big
Four Passenger Train No. 45 crashed
into the rear of the first section,
that had stopped unexpectedly
at point ten miles north of
kankakee, telescoping one sleeper
and two coaches, killing seven people
and seriously iDjuring large number.
The rear cars of the first section were
the Ohio u Mississippi sleeper and
two chair cars. all fairly well filled
with passengers. AS soon as the eX-
tent of the disaster was realized physi-
clans were telegraphed for TO Kankakee
and Manteno, and ten arrived here at
II 40. The work of rescue was
Immediately begun, and one by
one the horribly mutilated bodies
of the seven were removed from
in the forward cars, although they re-
ceived a severe shaking up, and some
were badly cut and bruised, were
foremost in the work of rescue.
They were taken as soon as possible to
Manteno, where they are being cared
for under the direction of the railroad
officials. No names of the killed or in
jured can be obtained at this
hour. There is great confusion.
None of the trainmen are able to
account for the wreck, as a man was
sent back from the first section as soon
as the stop, which was made necessary
by some defective machinery in the
locomotive was made. This fiagman
has not been seen since the wreck. and
he is probably the only man who can
give the real cause of the disaster.
1t is thought by the railroad
officials that the second section OF No.
IS was running at pretty good speed,
having no intimation that the first sec
tion would stop at this unexpected
point and that the fiagman failed to get
back sufficient distance to enable the
engineer of the second train to reduce
the speed.

ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 1S.-The city
is overhung by q heavy pail of smoke
tonight, and bad forest fires are burn
ing south of the city along the line of
the Wisconsin Central road, within q
mile OF the town. Devastating fires are
also raging in the direction of
Bayfield,. On the Odanah reserva-
ton aud in the White river dis
rict. according to the reports of land
hunters who have explored the out
skirts of the burned district. several
settlers have been burned out, although
all efforts tonight TO obtain the names
of the persons whose homes have
been destroyed have proved fruit
less. The destruction Of the pine
on the reservation, however, has
been enormous, and Capt. Day, one of
the pine land hunters, who viewed the
burning forest today. estimates that no
less than 15,000,000 feet of pine OH the
reservation has burned. causing pc
cuniary loss to the government OF at
least SG50.00O. Neither this city nor
Bayfield, is in any danger from the
fires, despite their close proximity.
The clearing between the burning pine
and limits of the cities is ample to pro-
tect them. Famed by high wind the
fires did approach quite close to the
northern limits of this city yesterday.
The water works system has been put
in working order again. The fires are
still burning tiercely along the line of
the Wisconsin Central south of Ash
land in this and Taylor counties.

Peacocks' feathers have been handed
down to us from the ancient days. of
mythology as emblematical of treachery,
evil and misfortune. The origin of this
strange superstition is founded upon the
following classical story: Osiris, king
of Egypt, upon starting on his Indian ex-
petition, left his queen, Isis regent, with
Argus, his minister. as her chief adviser.
Argus, with his hundred eyes, or rather
his spies, soon made himself so formi-
dable and powerful that he seized the
queen regent, shut her up in strong
castle and proclaimed himself king of
Egypt. Mercury was sent against him
with n strong army, took him captive
and cut off his head, whereupon Juno
metamorphosed him into peacock and
set his spies in his tail. From this legend
and the various additions made to it
from time to time the belief has arisen
thatit is unlucky to have peacocks' feath-
ers inside house.-Brooklyn Eagle.
