DISASTER ON A RAILWAY.
4 Dozen Persons Seriously Hurt and An
other Dozen Bruised md Scratched.


CHEEoEEE, Kan, sept. 9-Furthcr par
ticulars of the wreck Of the westbound
passenger train on the Cherokee branch Of
the Memphis railroad have been obtained.
Twenty persons were more or less hurt.
The wreck occurred at Lightning creek,
about . mile west of Monmouth, and was
caused by the breaking of an axle on the
rcar coach. The breakdown occurred at a
point 400 feet from a bridge. The accident
caused the ears to pitch and rock 50 badly
that when the bridge was reached the
whole structure gave way, thus prccipitat-
ing the cars into the stream below. The
front coach followed the baggage ear into
tho stream and rested partly upon the
baggage car, which kept it from sinking
into the water. The smoking car turned
completely over and is now lying bottom
up in the creek.
The passengers who had been but
slightly hurt broke in the windows and
pulled the womcp aud wounded men out
The wounded were taken to Fort Scott on
a special train sent to the scene of the
wreck. Those who were able to br moved
have been sent to their homes. Among
those mos; seriously injured are: Mrs. T..
Stewart, McCunc, arm lac"ratcd; Miss

Too Much Juggling.

This is the way the Denver Repub-
ican puts it: If the Mint officials at
Washington would pay more attention
to the real duties of their office and
waste less time in trying to iuggle
with their figures and falsify facts to
sustain the absurd and destructive
single gold standard, they would have
discovered the robbery going on at
the Carson Mint long ago. OF late
years the statistics furnished by the
Director of the United States Mint
regarding the production of gold and
silver and the amount of gold in the
United States have been entirely
false and misleading, and we are sur
prised that Congress has not taken
some steps to insure honest reports
regarding the production and distri-
button of the precious metals in this
country.

Wants the Goad Mines.

WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator
Morgan, chairman of the Foreign Re
lations Committee Of the Senate, was
asked to day how he regarded the sit
alton in Vene1nela, and replied:
Il have no doubt that Great Brit
aims ultimate purpose Is to press her
frontier sufficiently far into the inter-
ior to encompass the rich gold fields
of that section, though she will Of
course not disclose this purpose in
the immediate future, but will rather
contine her demands to the territory
at the mouth of the Orinoco river. l
think q direct question should be put
to Great Britain by our diplomats
whether she proposes, either by pur-
chase or conquest, to extend her do
main beyond the present claims. In
case of negative reply, 1 should ad
wise that the United States should not
interfere with the settlement of the
existing disputes; but do not .be-
ieve England could be brought TO a
definite point not to press her bound
aries further than that section, be-
cause of the rich gold mines known to
exist there. I am convinced, as be
Heye most men must be who have
given attention to the question, that
England's desire is to control those
gold deposits. Such Il course wonld
be i'll accord with her policy in other
parts of the globe, and it goes hand in
hand with her gold monometallist
policy at home. Controlling the
principal gold fields of the world,
England naturally desires to main
tain gold standard, and she as nat
urally wishes to extend her gold poss-
essions. 1t is to her interest to do so.
and cannot say that 1 blame her,
but that is no reason why the United
States should stand idly by and allow
her to carry this policy into effect.
Furthermore, it is evidently the policy
Of the present British administration
to acquire desirable territory when it
can do so, as witness the effort to sever
Neckar Island in the Hawaiian group
and the dispute with France over
African territory. 1t is most prob
able that instead of making any de-
tense in reply to this suppositious
question, England would evade it..

Pretty Fable Regarding 3 Drinking Cup
of Marvellous Workmanship.

Pretty Fable Regarding q Drinking Cup
of Marvellous Workmanship.
A drinking horn of marvellous work
manship is one of the relics kept in the
church at Oldenburg, Germany, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t is known throughout Europe as 'the
horn of Oldenburg," and has most
wonderful history. According to the
story, the great Ohio of Oldenburg was
out hunting, and, becoming exhausted
from thirst and fatigue, sank upon the
earth with the exclamation: sob, God,
would had cool drink" The sound
of his voice had scarcely died away
among the trees of the forest when sud-
denly beautiful maiden appeared be-
fore him bearing a richly-carved drink
ing horn, filed to overfowing with
cool, sparkling water. Ohio was more
captivatcd with the beauty of the horn
than he was with that of his fair bene-
factress, and without even staying to
say Thanks" turned and ran at the
top of his speed, carrying the vessel
with him. To save himself from the
consequences of such peculiar theft,
Ohio bestowed the horn upon the
church, and to this day the story, as
given above, is told by the guides, who
display the relic to the gaze of curious
visitors.

Critical Logic Failed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had a
favorite dictum: eliminate the i'm
possible, and what is left, however i'm
probable, must be the truth" This
was not ut all in accordance with the
saying of Victor Hugo: Nothing is so
imminent as the impossible. What
must be always forcseen is the unfore-
seen" Most of us will agree, from ex-
pcricnce, with Hugo rather than with
Holmes. The impossible does not hap
pen. When Mercy Philbrick's Choice"
was published in the mo Name" series,
the critics were agreed that it seemed
to be written by Helen Hunt Jackson.
But, as those who knew her love for
flowers and acquaintance with nature
also pointed out, she could not be the
author, for there were several glaring
mistakes in the naming and placing of
blossoms in the story. Yet, as was
'afterward disclosed, she did write it; SO
all the theorizing went for nothing.
