TRAINS COLLIDE.
Passenger Trains OH the sreaas
Northern ruhl Tugether.
The supreme sensation in railroad Ct

The supreme sensation in railroad cir
cles was the head end collision on the
Great Northern road on Tuesday night
near Ashby. about forty miles north OF
this city Both trains were a little be-
hind time, and while scheduled to meet
at Ashby, orders were given to meet at
Mslby, little station without tele-
graphic communication, between Ashby
and Evansville The train from the
east with Tony Manley as canductcr
and Jesse Emerson as engineer, were
orderen to take the Melby siding, and
await the east bound train Disregard
of the orders cost the engineer aid
nealy a half score Others their lives.
Engineer Emerson. forgettul of his or
ders, ran past Melby, and met the east
bound train at iuil speed, and the worst
wreck ever experienced on the Great
Northern system was the result. The
accident occurred on curve and grade,
and to this factis due that SO few lives
were lost. The east bound train was run
ming at tull speed, and the west bound
train Stacked up little but the impact
was fully seventyfive miles an hour. How
any passengers were saved is miracle,
and at the present writing the accident
has resulted in seven deaths, to-wit:
Engineers Emerson and Hamlin, Fire.
man rheboldo. Express Messenger Ker-
shaw. Mail Clerk Johnson, and two
passengers. Several others are severely
injured. The train from the west passed
through the city Wednesday evening
with the bodies OF the dead, and with the
injured, two of whom died before their
arrival in St. Paul. Some one had blu n
dered, or worse, and the entire response
bility is thrown upon Engineer Emerson,
who cannot defend himself. 1t is the
worst wreck ever experienced on the
Great Northern system-may it never
be duplicated.

such as the residents within halt mile
of the Great Northern track yard were
compelled to endure for twenty-four
hours commencing on Monday foreiioon.
the persons so outraging the "peace and
dignity of the state of Minnesota"
would be summarily dealt with and very
properly lodged in Jail. How long, oh,
gentlemen in authority, shall this COM
munity pc compelled to submit to this
outrage? 1t would not be tolerated in
a village of Comanche Indians-much
less IN any civilized centre Of population
other than Sank Centre tor another day.
All Monday night not only was sleep
absolutely impossible-and this is no
exaggeration-but waking hours were
so uncomfortable that people left their
homes to get rid of the nuisance. Had
some of the cases of acute sickness in the
city been in that immediate neighbour
hood the patients would be beyond
mortal help. Patience has ceased to be
a virtue. The cattle yard must be
moved and that speedily. The city coun-
Gil does not need to be urged to a recog-
milton of the outrage it knows it. The
citizens are now asking OF the council:
What are you going to do about it?"

A herd of Texas steers literally in

contemplated by the authors of the
Kansas prohibition law and it's several
crucial amendments, yet such a

had dropped their ripened fruit to the
ground, full three layers deep. The
apples had rotted and were In q state
of fermentation that makes them 4
