What the Frogs snid.

One hot day in July little boy and
ing water lilies. AS fast as they picked
them out Of the water they would pull
the lilies apart, carelessly throwing the
white petals In the water and scattering
the broken pieces of stem. They were
so absorbed in their work Of destroying
the flowers that they did not hear
conversation which was going on upon
the bank near them. But If they had
listened this is what they would have
heard. 1t was frog conversation, but
frogs can talk very well some times:
"Oh, DEAR" said the first frog. "how
sorry I am to have our beautiful sum-
mer home taken away! That large lily
which the little girl has just picked was
the one upon which L always swing my
little frogs to sleep on hot evenings"
Yes" moaned the other frog sympa-
thetically. land that lily which you see
the little boy pulling to pieces is the one
on which always hop to eat my dinner.
1t was so high above the water and so
dry that 1 could enjoy eating a nice
weed there without fear Of the water
washing it away"
"If only those two children were going
to take the flowers home to their man.
ma" said the first frog, IT should not
have cared so much. But, seel They
have torn the beautiful lilies apart and
are throwing them in the water. Alas
for my poor little cradlel There goes its
leaves floating by."-NeW York Ledger.

WHAT THE MEN SAY.
Trainmen Give Their Version of the
Big -Four Wreck.


Big Four Wreck.
The crews of the Inflated trains ar
rived in Indianapolis yesterday morning
at IL o'clock. They went Immediately TO
the general offices Of the company and
made their reports to the officials. This
completed the men were sent back to the
scene of the wreck as witnesses for the
coroner's investigation. The Big Four
officials express confidence that the re-
sponsibility OF the wreck does not rest
upon the shoulders of the men in their
employ. They will not criticise the ac-
ton Of the running of the trains, as the
trains were In charge of another corpora
ton.
The Illinois Central furnishes the mo-
tive power for the running Of the trains
on the service from Kankakee to Chi
cago. The trains are run under the ILL
nois Central dispatchers under rules of
that company and the trainmen are prac-
tically Illinois Central trainmen while
they are running over that company's
tracks.
The stories of all of the Big Four en-
ployes who were on the Inflated trains
Indicate clearly that every measure was
taken by them TO prevent the collision.
Conductor w. Il. Tanner informed the
officials as follows: "Our train was first,
No. 10, and we were coming to a stop
when we were struck. We knew that the
second section was not far behind as she
was frequently in sight and the hagman
and porter of the sleeper We're standing,
on the rear platform watching out for
accidents. When we found a train in
front Of us the engineer signaled to the
fiagman and o. c. Duncan, who was at
tending to this duty. jumped from the

did also the porter. Duncan certainly
tagged the other train, but why his sig
nal was not obeyed l do not know.
saw him after he had tagged the second
section. His light was burning"
The story was corroborated by both

self.
Duncan says that he ran back and
tagged the train and that he was an
swered. He said that the oncoming train

CANTON. ILL.,. Sept. 19.-An appalling
loss Of life was narrowly averted tonight
when the Canton opera house was
burned. Five persons were badly
bruised and burned and it is believed
that three Of them viii die.
The fire began during the third act OF
michael Strogoff," when fireworks are
set off during a battle scene. Tonight
the sparks from the fireworks ignited
some Of the scenery and in less than
two minutes the company was compelled
to retire from the stage.
The audience at first rose en- masse
and would have made a wild plunge for
the doors had not several men in differ
ent parts Of the house called loudly, "Sit
DOWN. Some did sit down and remained
too long for their own safety. The fire
spread rapidly and those Of the audi
ence who had not already filed out began
wild scramble for the doors. Those
on the first floor had little difficulty in
making their way TO the outer air, but
those in the galleries were not so fortu-
nate.
The stairway quickly became jammed
and progress exceedingly difficult. A
woman tripped, fell and in an instant
the crowd. which, all things considered,
had been very quiet, became a frenzied
mob. Men. women yelling and Scream

A TennysOn story.

One day, when Mr.. Phelps was minis
ter at the court OF st. James, a gentle
man from Omaha called upon him with
the modest request that he would assist
him in obtaining a number OF autographs
OF eminent Englishmen. The visitor
was indeed, not scrupulous 10 exclude
eminent English women, and If Mr..
Phelps could obtain for him a few friend
ly lines from the queen they should have
the honored place in his native town
hall, on whose behalf he had undertaken
the commission. Mr.. Phelps was struck
with the quiet pertincity of the man,
and helped him 10 a good many valuable
autographs. Appetite growing with
what T. feed upon, the gentleman from
Omaha declared he could not go back
without obtaining a specimen OF the poet
laureate's handwriting. Mr.. Phelps said
he did not know Lord Tennyson. and
from what he had heard Of him thought
he was not approachable on the subject
But, he said, you write to him yourself
in your own way; tell him your business
here, and what you want from him.
The gentleman from Omaha obeyed the
instruction, and after a few posts there
reached him a manuscript copy or the
first page Of ''In Memoriam" In Tenny-
sons own handwriting, and signed by his
name.-Shefield Independent.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS
To Compel Some Kind of Action OF
the Tucker Bill.


the Tucker Bill.
The democratic leaders in the house
today were forced to invoke the aid of
the party lash to compel the attendance
of the democratic members to the end
that they might be enabled to sweep
aside the filibustering republicans and
proceed to the consideration OF the bill
repeating the federal election law. The
quorum OF democratic members, upon
which they had counted today, failed to
put in an appearance and for three hours
by skillful maneuYering the republicans
were able TO deadlock the house. The
high water mark reached by the demo-
Gratis today was 173, lacking six of a
quorum. The failure to secure a quorum
so chagrined the house leaders that they
threw up the sponge, adjourned and
went into caucus in order TO compel the
attendance Of absentees and force them,
under the duresS or caucus action, to
vote when their names were called. The
caucus lasted about an hour. Speaker
Crisp, Representative Hooker Of Missis-
sippi, Fitch of New York, Mooney of
Mississippi and Fellows of New York, all
made vigorous speeches in favor of
pressing the bill to repeal the "odious'
election laws. In fact, general unan-
unity of sentiment for immediate ac-
ton was expressed except by Warner of
New York, who, while strongly support
ing the BILL declared that he was not in
favor of precipitate action as it might be
misunderstood in the North. The fol-
lowing resolutions, the first by Speaker
Crisp, the second by Mr.. McMillin, were
then unanimously adopted:
1. That IL is the sense of this caucus
that IT is the duty of the democratic
members Of congress to attend the ses-
sions and vote in order that the public
business may be considered and dis
posed of, and that when the house meets
tomorrow that 1t is the sense of this
caucus that IL remain in session con-
tinuously until a quorum Is obtained In
favor of reporting the bill for the re-
peal of the federal election laws.
2. That II Is the sense Of this caucus
that the house should proceed at the
sion to the consideration Of the bin or
bills repeating laws authorizing deputy
marshals and supervisors of election at
the polls.
At the opening of the session this
morning Mr.. Finn, the delegate from
Oklahoma, created a mild sensation by
asking for immediate consideration OF
a resolution bearing on the outrages said
TO have been committed by the United
States troops at the opening of the Cher
okee strip last Saturday. The resolution
recited that the press of the country had
for several days contained accounts Of
the burning Of vegetation and the killing
of homesteaders by the United States
troops in connection with the opening OF
the strip and called upon the secretary
of war to know by what authority these
troops had acted. BY unanimous con-
sent Mr.. Finn was allowed to make a
short statement. He sent to the clerks
desk and had read the accounts OF the
alleged depredations OF the troops and

The Moody Girl.

Perhaps the moody girl isn't the hap
piest mortal in the world, but she's a
pretty good sort of fellow just the same
1t is a case of sunshine and showers
with her. When she is sad, she is the
most doleful little person you ever saw.
When she is happy she can make a
heart OF marble feel like dancing. Moth
ing can induce any one to speak to her
when she is shrouded in her awful spell
of the blues, because she is so cross and
snappy, but the moment she dons the
halo of smiling hilarity she is held up
as a shining example 70 all other girls
and is spoken of as ''the sweet little thing
with such a lovely disposition" The
moody girl enjoys her fits OF weeping
as much as some girls enjoy a good
salad. So don't let her make you I'M
happy, because tears are her way of hav-
ing fun.-Chicago Record.

slowed its speed and that was the reason
that the accident was not more terrible.
Conductor Eden of the second section
stated his train had slackened speed
when IL struck the first section and from
this IL was evident that the conductor
saw the warning signal.
The officials Of the Big Four regret
that that road must stand criticism of
the wreck when their employees were in
no way responsible for the unfortunate
occurrence from the testimony they can
gather.
The trainmen of the Big Four are Illi-
nois Central trainmen until the trains
leave Kankakee, when they are on their
own roadbed and tracks.
l.. H. Blanton, one of the owners of
the Arcade mills, was on the wrecked
train and was severely injured, but not
fatally SO. He resides at 596 n. Pennsyl-
vania-st. and a telegram to his family
indicates that his injuries, though Sc
we're. are not fatal. He is resting at st.
Luke's hospital, KankalIee.
Conductor Charles Eden resides here.
His injuries are not troublesome other
than that he will suffer a slight incon-
venience for several days from a
