To say that the street Examinations
are the grandest ever seen on the
streets of any city in the world is to
state the case mildly. The number of
lights used exceeds $1,000, and more
than half of these are electric. The
downtown section is blaze of light,
arches competing for popularity with
electric effects of the most dazzling
character. These latter are for the
most part panoramas with constant
changes, and vehicle traffic is well
nigh suspended owing to the crowds
which throng the streets as well as
cover the sidewalks.
The western hemisphere panorama,
illustrated herewith, facing Washing
ton university, has upwards of 1900
electric lights and tells the story of the
discovery of America in letters Of fire.
Another magnificent spectacle is the
electric floral arch in natural colors
and another is a combination of the
flags of the United States and Spain
with an eagle far above the center.
There are ten other electric displays
all equally attractive.
The Examinations will be repeated
Oct. 3, 5, % and 10. and every one who
appreciates combination of beauty
and magnifcence ought to see them.
The railroad rates are exceptionally
low and the attractions as exceptions
ally gorgeous and irresistible.

FATAL WRECK ON THE'FRISCO
AT LYMAN, MO.
An OPEN SWITCH IS THE CAUSE.

tempt Which Has Been
Made to Deran Trains

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct 3-Passen-
ger train No. of the Frisco road
which left Springfield at 1000, about
ten minutes late, ran into an open
switch at Lyman at 1920 Saturday
night, dashing through stock cars
Engineer Maxey Hall and Fireman
Charlie Robinson were both instantly
killed So far as could BE- ascertained
none of the passengers were seriously
injured One received broken arm,
and several received slight bruises.
The switch had been opened by some
party undoubtedly with the intent of
wrecking the train.
Lyman is only blind siding, there
being no depot or telegraph Office
there. The three stock cars were just
inside the switch, so that the en-.
gineer and fireman had no warning OF
the danger until the crash came. The
officials of the road state that this is
no less than the fourth attempt which
has been made to wreck trains at Ly'
man during the month of September

SIAM GIVES IN.
She Agrees TO Frances Latest Demands
aud Peace Is Assured.


BANGKOK, Oct. "A final settle
ment of the dispute between France
and Siam was arrived at yesterday by
the acceptance on the part Of the
Siamese government of the drafts Of
a new treaty presented by NJ. De Vii
Tiers, the special envoy of France to
the government of Siam.
The French envoy gave the Siamese
government but forty-eight hours in
which to accept or decline the treaty
agreed upon yesterday, threatening to
leave Bangkok unless his demands
were complied with. From this 1t is
judged that the Siamese government
has made an unconditional surrender
to France, and that the latter country
now has everything which she ha;
demanded from Siam with the excep
ton of the demands which were con-
sidered in excess in her ultimautm
presented some time ago.

How Gordon Settled Il.

The artillery evinced in their disgust
at their removal to Qunisan by refusing
to fall in, and in a proclamation they
threatened to blow the Chinese authori-
ties away with the small guns and the
Europeans with the big guns. Their
noncommissioned officers, as usual, all
paraded, and were sent for by Major
Gordon, who asked them the reason why
the men did not fall in, and who wrote
the proclamation. They of course did
not know: and on Major Gordon telling
them he would be obliged to shoot one
in every five. they evinced their objec-
ton to this proceeding by groan. The
most prominent in this was corporal,
who was dragged out, and couple of
infantry who were standing by were
ordered to load. and directed to shoot
the mutineer. which one did without
the slightest hesitation.
The remainder were marched back
and locked mp for an hour, with the
threat that if the name of the writer of
this proclamation was not given. and If
the men did not fall in before an hour
had elapsed. the arrangement Of shoot
ing one in five would be carried out.
AT the expiration of an hour the men
all fell in, and the name of the culprit
who had run away, was given up.
After that time we had no trouble.
the men were thoroughly cowed and the
noncommissioned oficers-the real Of
fenders-dared no longer foster sedition.
It is to be regretted, however, that one
life should have been sacrificed, but this
saved many others which must have
been lost if stop had not been put to
the independent way of the men.-Gor-

Electricity to Succeed Horses.

An electrical parcels delivery van, con-
structed by a London electrical COM
pany, is a compactly designed vehicle
upon four rubber tired wheels, and is
driven from seat similar to that of an
ordinary van. Switches are used to set
the motor in operation and to apply the
brake while a vertical wheel and end
less worm are revolved to change the in
clination of the front axle and thereby
the direction in which the vehicle trav-
els. The motor is worked by accumu-
slators of sufficient power to run from
two to two hours and half at time
and at the rate of six miles an hour.
1t is claimed that the use of electricity
over horse power will show an economy
as compared with horse traction, and
the company will Immediately put the
van to exhaustive experiments upon the
London streets as parcel cart. It will
carry about half n ton of goods.-New

Literally Death by inches.

A Los Angeles physician told US the
other day that the most trying time in
all his experience was during the past
five weeks, when he stood hopelessly by
and saw poor ranchman near Puente
die by inches of what is known as pro-
gressive paralysis. The patient was first
affected in one big toe. In a short time
the limb was paralyzed to the knee.
Two physicians were called, and all the
known remedies were applied to stay
the progress of the deadening attack,
but in vain. Hour by hour death moved
on its victim. The patient was propped
up in an armchair and fully realized
his condition. He awaited the end with
the GOODNESS and bravery of martyr.
AS the line of death crept nearer and
nearer his heart he made calculations as
to how much longer he could live. He
said, ''Now it has reached the body
indicating the exact place with his
finger. In little while he said, sit
has reached the bottom of my lungs"
Another short wait and he said family,
''It has touched my heart" and he fell
over dead.-Pomona Express
