bilitieS.

He is full of zeal for the cause in which he is
engaged, and made plain, sensible talk on
Mexico.

Six Things u Boy Ought to Know.

l. That a quiet voice, courtesy and
acts are essential to the part in the
world of a gentleman and of gentle,
woman.
2. That roughness, clustering and
foolhardiness are not manliness. The
most firm and courageous men have
usually been the most gentle.
3. That muscular strength is MOI
health.
t. That brain crammed only with
facts is not necessarily wise one.
S. That the labor impossible to the
boy of IA will be easy to a man of 20.
6. That the best capital for a boy
is not money, but the love Of work
simple tastes and heart loyal to bis
friends, and his God.

A TRAINS MISFORTUNE.
Held Up by Bandits In New Mexico and
Later Wrecked In Kansas.

OsAGE CITY, Kan, Oct. 5--A railroad
wreck, attended by serious loss of life and
made more terrible by the self murder Of
one Of tho terrified passengers, occurred
on the Santa Fe road, two miles north Of
this station Seven dead bodies have been
recovered from the wreck, and 10 Is feared
other victims are buried beneath tho
debris. The wrecked train was the east
bound passenger No. 2, the same that had
such a thrilling experience with bandits
in New Mexico early last Saturday morn
ing. The wreck was caused by the explo-
sion of the boiler Of the locomotive. The
engineer should have stopped for water at
Usage City, but being behind time, he
endenvored to run to the next tank.
The engineer and fireman both mot
death in the wreck. The train had pro-
oeeded but two miles beyond this place,
when two terrific explosions were heard,
one following close after the othor.
The locomotive was completely shatter-
ed. The express, baggage and passenger
coaches came crashing upon the wrecked
engine and the coaches that were ahead
were piled up IN one heap OF wreckage.
The coaches in the rear were oil derailed,
but the passengers riding in the rear es-
capped serious injury
The wreck was marked by scenes Of the
widest confusion among the terrified pas
songers. The nerves of many were at a
high pitch, as a result of their experience
with the road agents in New Mexico, and
when tho crash came tho first impression
of nearly all was that the train had been
attacked again by robbers. One passen-
ger, William Becker of Los Angeles, en-
route to Chicago seemed to lose his rea-
son entirely. Whom the crash came, he
drew pistol from his pocket and, in the
presence of a carfull of terrified passon-
gers, took his own life Beckler had been
drinking heavily
Seven bodies were recovered from tho
wreck The dead are William Becker,
Los Angeles; Engineer Strump, Topeka;
Fireman Harry Hollister, T6pokai viii
liam MoAdams, tramp, riding on baggage
car and supposed to be from ChiDiootho,
Ia; three tramps, names unknown, all Of
whom were riding on the baggage car.

1t is a cause for congratulation that We
have in this campaign not only the sup
