TOLEDO, o., Sept so. Train No. II
on the Wabash road was wrecked this
morning at Maumee, a small town
twelve miles south OF this city. The
accident happened shortly before 7
o'clock. and was the result of we'll
laid plan to ditch the entire train. Hap
PLY, albeit mraculouSly, the heavy
Pullman sleeper kept on the track. and
the mail and baggage cars, although
badly wrecked, did not contain any vic
tins. F. n. Smith. engineer. Toledo,
was killed. A. Ii. Day, fireman. Tole-

jured: Charles Holland. mail clerk.
Toledo. scalp wound; +. j. Provst, mail
clerk, Toledo. slightly cut and bruised;
j. w. Kreamer. mail clerk, Dislko. Ind,
badly scratched on legs and body. The
wreck was planned. by whomSoever
conceived it, to occur at the west end OF
long siding just west Of Maumee.
The road at the lower part of the switch
target had been removed, and the
switch was partly thrown. The target
indicated clear track, ard Engineer
Smith was probably not aware of the
situation many minutes before his
motor was humping along OH the ties.
AS soon as the train struck The switch
it leaped into the air, fell toward the
ditch and turned completely over. The
trucks OF the mail cars
Followed by the Engine,
but the cars themselves went in an
opposite direction. Under them were
found the dead body of Engineer Smith
and Fireman Day, the latter suffering
from fracture of the skull which will
prove fatal. At the time of the accident
the train was running at the regular
speed. and it is considered miracle
that more lives were not lost. The postal
cars were torn away from the trucks,
and were lying side by side. Besides
the slightly injured there were in the
cars S. j. McCorkle, KokOmo, Ind; f..
S. Coffin and j. S. Dalton, both of this
city. The express and baggage cars
were literally reduced to splnters. yet
the occupants escaped unhurt. There
were several passengers in the combin-
alton smoker, which was wrecked beyond
repair, vet not a scratch could be shown
by any of them. The passengers in the
Pullmans were only made aware of the
accident by the severe joiting which
they experienced. Wrecking trains from
Toledo and Fort Wayne we're immedi-
ately sent to the scene, and the main
track was cleared for travel by O'Clock
this evening. The dead engineer and

the line, and are believed to have come

GOOD MEN AND TRUE.

The Mankato Review on the OFF,
GERS Of the State Committee.
The Mankato Review is pleased with
the officers selected to manage the pres
ent Democratic state campaign, and in
late issue spoke~ as follows of the
three chief officers of the committee:
In selecting the permanent chairman
of the committee it was voted to refer
the matter TO the candidates, and they
unanimously decided in faver of Thomas
j. McDermott, OF st. Paul. He was for.
merly citizen of lie Sneur county;
married Miss Doran, of Jamestown, in
this county. and is personally well and
favOrably known in that section OF the
county. For years he was engaged in
the mail service as postal clerk, and
was strongly recommended Tor superin-
tendent of the railway mail service for
this division. For several years. how
ever, he has been practicing attorney
at st. Paul, with the most encouraging
success.
"Thomas J.Mullane was chosen secre-
tary. He is young man of eminent
fitness for the position, and will make a
good record.
.Daniel Aberle Esq.,, of st. Paul. was
made treasurer. and he will make an

the confidence and esteem of Demo-
Gratis, but he Is exceedingly liberal, is
we'll posted in the politics of the state,
and a tirelesS worker"
/ For the benefit of those Democrats
who are no. 30 we'll acquainted with
hese.gentlemen as Mr.. Wise, the able
editor of the Review, it Is fair and
proper to state that all three of these
gentlemen are already hard at work in
the good of the cause stirring up the
Democrats of the state. The committee
is made up of active and working DEM
ocrats, and they are going to back up
the chairman, secretary and treasurer
in their efforts TO get every Democrat
to the polls with straight Democratic
ticket in his hand. In view of the at
tempts made by the Republicans to
create the impression that the members
of the Democratic state committee did
not organize with entire harmony, the
following bit of advice given by Mr..
Wise should be read by every loyal
Democrat and practiced:
1.-The committee is now organized for
work, the best of feeling prevails
among Its members and the candidates,
and that they will work together for the
welfare of the party there is no reason
to doubt. This being the case. we say
to our Democratic readers to pay no
attention to reports Of factional division
of the state central committee. 1t is
broad enough to take in all Democrats
and all sections of the state. Pay no
attention to reports of Democratic dis
affections in different counties of the
state. There is no occasion for such
division. and if man is really and at
heart a Democrat, this, of all years, is
the one when he will not be engaged in
sowing the seeds of discord and
dissension. With an admirable state
ticket and excellent county tickets,
aud harmony in the ranks, there ought
to be no trouble to succeed"

county are for Capt Reed for congress
as against Joel p. Heatw0le.
1--WE predict that the captain will
enliven the canvass, and would not be
surprised 10 see him carry off a plurality
of the votes in Renville county in No
vcmber. He is deserving of every vote
in the district, and no man ever elected
from this district will act more inde-
pendently. and represent his constitu-
ents moro satisfactorily, than would
Capt. Reed. The captain will take the
stump and have some of the best
speakers with him there is in the state"
The above statement of the situation
in Renville is Interesting. showing as it
does what an injustice was done in
seating the HeatwOle delegation from
that county.

RED LAKE FRAUDS.

The Globes Figures From the
New Estimate Clin ched Matters.
The GLOBES exposure of the crooked
work done by the first set of timber
inspectors On the Red Lake reservation
has caused sensation all over Northern
Minnesota. Many OF the local papers
in the region of the reservation nave
reprinted the article in full, particularly
the News at Thief River Falls, a pros
porous little town that will turn into
city in ten days after Senator Davis
takes his foot off the Baldwin bill for
the early opening of the reservation.
Other newspapers have cOntented
themselves with calling the attention of
the people to the facts presented by the
GLOBE week ago. The Hutchinson
Democrat says:
A Big Steal Planned,
"TEe st. t.PaulGLoBE has made an I'm
portant exposure. which does not show
Gov. Nelson in favorable light. While
in congress Nelson introduced a bill for
the opening of all the Red Lake Indian
reservation. The bill appeared inno-
cent Oh its face, as all such bills do, but
it was solely in the interest of the pine
land ring, which has gobbled nearly all
tne ValudUle ptue lduu III the state. AT
the late session of congress Baldwin in
trOduced a bill for the sale of 100000
scres at time. but this was opposed
and defeated in the senate by Senator
Davis, also in behalf of the pine land
ring. Congressman Baldwin also Sc.
cured a new set of appraisers for the
pine lands on the reservation, because
the old appraisers had been in partner
ship with the pine land ring, with this
result, that while the old appraisers had
estimated the pine on certain 1000
acres at but l,769. 900 feet, the new ap-
praisers estimated the pine ON the same
tract at 5,0S9,000 feet, showing clear
steal Gntended) Of over one-half, or over
100000 feet.". 49,.
Davis Is Hearing From the People
The Crookston Times is newspaper

has prevailed at almost every step in
this matter since Gov. Nelson first in

LUCAS AND REED,
Republican Politicians In Minne-

Down Old Soldiers.

Republican Politicians in Minne-
sofa and South Dakota Turn
Down Old Soldiers.
Minnesota aud South Dakota have at
Washington several representatives
who are very fond of prating about their
devotion to the old soldiers, and yet in
Minnesota this year there is but one
Republican congressional candidate
who served during the war. Col. A. R.
Kiefer, of st. Paul. while two Democratic
candidates went through that great
struggle aud came out with honorable
records. These two are Maj. Baldwin,
of the Sixth district, member of the
famous iron brigade, man who,
though wounded in the service, receives
no pension, because he has never asked
for it, and Gen. James II. Baker, of the
Second district. In South Dakota about
the same showing was made by the
Republicans. Capt. Lucas, an old
soldier, was defeated to carry out a
political deal. The Pipestone Leader
has the following to say regarding the
cases of Lucas and Reed:
We notice in many of our exchanges
the manifest displeasure OF the veterans
of the war in the action of conventions
in turning down many of their comrades
for Office. In South Dakota, Capt
Lucas, q member of congress. was
defeated, aud for no other reason than
to carry out certain political deals. In
the Third congressional district of this
state Capt. Reed was a candidate for
the nomination of congressman
and when the convention met
at Chaska, he declared him
self an independent candidate.
stating among his reasons for doing so:
III am forced to take this action by the
fraudulent and dishonest methods
which have been employed against me
at so-called Republican caucuses and
conventions, where the honest ex-
pressed wishes OF the people have been
again and again thwarted and falSified."
Gov. Nelson is severely criticised for
his action in cutting off aid and support
from the state fund by turning back
many thousands, when every dollar is
needed by deserving comrades, and
other official acts affecting their inter-
