SOME MIRACULOUS ESCAPES
Train and Bridge Sent Into the
Creek.
Herofc Work of Those Who Were
Only Partially Disabled Doubtless
Prevented IL Most Appalling Loss
of Life-Au the Cars and the
Bridge Complete Wreck-Oth-
err Casualties.

CHEROKEE, Kans., Sept. Sur
Their particulars of the wreck last
night of the west-bound train on the
Cherokee branch of the Memphis road
were obtained today.
Twenty persons were more or less
hurt.
The wreck occurred at Lightning
Creek, about a mile west of Mon
mouth, and was caused by the break
ing of an axle on the rear coach. The
break down occurred at point 400
feet from the bridge. The car broke
loose from the train, after being
dragged 200 feet, and rolled over into
the ditch, which was filed with back
water from the creek. The accident
caused the cars to pitch and rock so
badly that when the bridge was
reached, the baggage car struck the
side of the timbers and caused the
whole structure to give way, thus pre-
cipitating all the other cars into the
stream below which is swollen from
recent rains. The front coach followed
the baggage into the stream and
rested partly on the baggage car,
which kept it from sinking into the
water. The smoking car turned COM
pletely over, and is now lying at the
bottom of the creek. The passengers
who had been slightly hurt, broke in
the windows and pulled the women
and wounded men out. The wounded
were taken to Fort Scott, on a special
train. Those who have been able to
be moved have been sent to their
homes
Among those most seriously injured
are:
Mrs. E. Stewart, MoCune, arm Iacer-

work on vessels under construction for
the navy shall be expedited. The Or
der embraces not only the work on
navy yard ships but also the work on
vessels being built under contract All

Continuing, the secretary said:
fThe ships building in the navy
yards have been tagging for years.
For long time it was for lack of ar

promptly. The Texas and the Maine.
the former of which has just been put
in commission, and the latter. which
will be in a few days, really ought to

sire to keep a regular force constantly
employed, and the disposition is to
take Worhmen from the ships that are
building and do repair work with
them, putting them back when the re-
pair work is completed. Not only have
the Texas and Maine been DELAYED by
this practice, but also the monitors,
the Terror, the Monadnock and the
Puritan. All these ships ought to be
now in commission and L have ordered
that they be pushed to completion.
Precisely the same reasons which have
operated to delay the building of ships
at navy yards naturally Influences
contractors. They are sometimes
tempted to neglect government work
and use part of the force on the gov
eminent ships to do outside work as
it comes i'm
The secretary deprecates the prac

vide penalties for failure to complete
work in them. Penalties for DELAY have
frequently been imposed upon con-
tractors by the navy department. but
unfortunately Congress has in almost
every instance, when it was asked. re-
heved them of these penalties. The
effect of such acts is necessarily de-
moralizing. 1t is to be hoped that
penalties incurred in the future for
delay will be allowed to stand''
In conclusion, Mr.. Herbert said:

We have already shown that we can

the world, and l hope our ship-build-
ers who are not looking for contracts
abroad will demonstrate to the world
that ships can be built not only as
we'll bur as rapidly in the United
States as anywhere in the world.''
The secretary also said that he was
pushing along the manufacture of. ord
nance and all other work in progress
under his direction.

and vicinity was visited by tornado
about p. m. The worst damage was
done at the state normal school
grounds. The new east wing of the
main building was reduced to mass
of ruins.
This wing was recently built at
cost of $4,000, and was but lately ded-
icated. The north gable end gave
way before the storm, and was blown
in.
The roof was rolled up like paper,
and carried off half a block. The en-
tire inside of Albert Taylor hall is
open to the storm of rain, which still
continues. The damage at this school
grounds is estimated at $4,000, and
fears are entertained that the wind
will yet blow the other walls out.
Considerable other damage was done
down town. Clark's wholesale fur
niture store was unroofed, and his
stock of goods badly damaged. Base.
ments and cellars throughout the city
are flooded. Four inches of water
fell in less than two hours. But mea-

FOSTER ON CHINA.
MASSES OF CHINESE NOT AGAINST
MISSIONARIES.
Under Prevailing Conditions, 1t Is
Not Strange That h-ots Should Oc-

Tragedy.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Sept. S.-Hon.
J. w. Foster ex-secretary of state, and
the recent counsel for the Chinese gov
eminent, in an address on foreign mis-
sions here tonight, spoke as follows
on the recent riots in China:
The opinion formed by me after
careful inquiry and observation. is
that the mass of the population of
China, particularly the common peo-
pie. are not specially hostile to the
missionaries and their work. Occa-
sionally riots have occurred, but they
are almost invariably traced to the
literati, or prospective Office holders
and the ruling classes. They are often
bigoted and conceited to the highest
degree, and regard the teaching of the
missionaries as tending to overthrow
the existing order of government and
society, which they look upon as a
perfect system and Sanctified by great
antiquity. The war with Japan, which
resulted in a humiliating peace and
the loss of territory, has greatly weak
ened the imperial authority and the
disarmament Of several hundred thou
sand troops, mostly without receiving
the pay due them has added to the
prevailing discomfort and disorder. I'm

HOUGHTON, Mich, Sept. S.-Huge
volumes of smoke still issue from the
mouths of the shafts Nos. 1, 3 and 9,
showing that the awful fire which
started in the Osceola copper mine
shortly before noon Saturday, is still
raging fercely, and the bodies of the

WYOMING OIL.

1t Promises, However, in Time, to

of Pennsylvania.
LSnecial TO The Herald

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. S.-To few
people in the United States it has been
known for some time that oil exists in
wyoming in vast quantities and covering
an area larger than some of the empires
of the old world. To keep this knowledge
from the wealthy capitalists of the east
has been the task of some few ;ndividu-
ais. whose interests demanded that the
knowledge of the splendid opportunities
for the employment of capital in the Wy
oming oil fields should not be widely diff
fused But within the past year, follow
ing the rise in the price of oil, and the
decrease in the productiveness of the
eastern oil fields, many people have found
out that here in this young state lies a
field that for size and in the quality of
the oil produced far surpasses the COM
bined fields of Pennsylvania. Ohio and
West Virginia. At present the develop
ment of the Wyoming fields is in its in
fancy, but the results of drilling have so
far proven highly satisfactory and there
is no room for doubt that some day these
oil fields will prove a source of immense
wealth to the state. The quantity of oil
stored in the natural reservoirs of Wyo-
ming is incalcltlable, and the amount al
ready known to be available and await
ing necessary appliances to utilize it, is
also very great Compared with the oil
fields of Pennsylvania and elsewhere

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Sept. 8.
"A woman passed through this city
who had crossed the desert on brake
beam Her name is unknown, and
the place from which she started is
also secret. She was discovered two
days ago near Baggett by the crew of
a freight train on which she was steal
ing a ride on a brake beam. She was
dressed as boy but as soon as the
trainmen brought her from under the
car they were convinced she was a.
woman. when she finally admitted.
She refused to disclose her identity.
but said she and her husband had
been living in an eastern city. and he
had deserted her, taking with him
their little girl. She heard he was in
Oregon, and had placed the girl in an
orphanage. Being without money,
she started out to beat her way. AS
soon as hte trainmen heard the wo-
mans story, their sympathies were
aroused, and she was taken to Los
Angeles in caboose. She is a wo-

and a fair complexion. short black

UNIONTOWN, Penn, Sept. S.-The
situation throughout the coke regions
is one of uncertainty, caused by the
possibility of a general strike this

last Thursday, in Connellsville, a de-
mand was made for an advance in
wages of II per cent, with an. order for
a suspension of work in case the op-
orators refuse to grant the demand
Reports from the various plants are

held today, but what action the cckers
took connot be learned, except in few
cases. At the meetings heard from, the
men favored an advance, and in
structed the delegates to the conven-
ton to insist on the increase. a rep
resentative of leading company said
today the operators would lot grant
an advance. The labor leaders insist
that coke has advanced from soc. to
$1.35 per ton, and the mems wages
should be advanced propofJionately
They further aver that a strike is in
evitable, unless wages are advanced
