STILL WANT TELLER.

Strong Element of the Peoples Party Still
Opposed to the Selection of Bryan.
ST. LOUISE July 14.-The impression
seems to be strong among local Popu-
lists that if tho Democratic ticket made
at Chicago is endorsed by the Populists'
national convention on the 22d it will
only be after hard fight.
"Teller is still our man, said well
known Populist and silver party man,
"and watch what I tell you, we will
nominate. him. We figure it best for
the silver cause to nominate Teller. He
can carry the silver Republican states
and can secure more electoral votes
than Bryan. Bryan will carry the sill
yer Democratic states, and, between
Teller and Bryan, we count on securing
enough electoral votes to prevent Nc.
Kinley's election. If this can be done
the electoral votes for silver will hold
together and will select Teller or Bryan
for president. This is the latest plan o.
the Populists.

weather was all that could be expected

were clear, and, although the sun shone
warmly, the heat was nicely tempered
by a smart northwest breeze, which
made the flags and bunting ON the big
tents and along the streets and avenues
to stand, out bravely, and encouraged
thousands of the visitors to venture
forth from theics church headquarters
between services for short visits to see
the sights of the city, which they had
been prevented from reaching before by
a protracted spell of bad weather. The
animating purpose of the committee in
arranging the programme for the last

details of the disaster could be sent to
the outside world until long after the
wreck had been cleared and the dead
and injured were taken from the scene
of destruction. ..,-
An excursion train bearing a large
party from Omaha crashed head on into
heavily loaded freight soon after hay
ing pulled out of Logan on the return
trip. The engineer Of the excursion
train misunderstood his orders, having
been instructed to remain on the siding
until the freight had passed. The ex-
cursionists were not yet out of sight of
the depot when the crash came. Freight

a section of the car floor was cut away
The sight revealed was beyond the
power of words to portray. It appeared
that the space in the car between the
floor Of the coach and the floor of. the
baggage car was packed with dead and
dying humanity. Groans and agoniz-
ing appeals for help came from the in
jured and spurred the rescuers to their
greatest efforts. AS soon as little
space within was cleared the workers
climbed inside the coach and the work
of passing up the
Bodies of the Dead and Injured
progressed more rapidly. Twenty-Five
dead bodies were taken out and laid III
row on the grass on the railroad track
and the injured were at once taken to
Logan. In a very short time the appeal
for help had been answered by all the
physicians from Logan and Missouri
Valley, and then some system was in
trodnced into the manner of carrying
on the rescue work. Wagons and car
riages were sent from Logan and the
injured were brought here for treat
ment. The Lusk House, the new Moon
building, the opera house and Odd Eel
lows hall were turned into emergency
hospitals and the injured cared for as
well as permissible. Before daylight
came the dead and injured were taken
to another train and sent to Omaho.
The Engineer Responsible.
The responsibility for the accident
rests on Engineer Montgomery Of the
Inflated excursion train. His orders
were to wait at Logan for the fast mail
and fast freight. He started his train
out Immediately after the mail passed,
forgetting about the freight. The head
end collision occurred 20 minutes later
on curve. The heavy freight passed
partially over the passenger. All the
people killed were in the front coach Of

A CITY IN MOURNING.

Victims of the Logan Disaster Brought to
Omaha.
OMAHA, July 14.-Omaha is city OF
mourning as a result of the awful COLI
sion on the Chicago and Northwestern
road near Logan, Ia. A Union Pacific
excursion train Of 10 coaches returning
to Omaha crashed into a fast freight
going east and 28 persons were killed
outright and many injured. Thousands
of people gathered at the depot when
the trains containing the dead and
wounded arrived and the sight was a
most pathetic one. Of the 20 dead four
are so badly mutilated that identified
ton is impossible. The list Of injured
is a lengthy one. It contains % or
more names of persons who were seri-
ously hurt, dangerously SO, to.a greater
or less degree. In addition there were
at least SO who received
Injuries of a Minor Nature.
These consisted of bruises and cuts or
slight disfgurements which will practi-
cally amount to nothing. The scenes
which were presented within the cars
can never be forgotten by those who
witnessed them. The interior Of the
baggage car presented the most pathetic
sight. Here were ranged, end to end,
the cots which bore the most seriously
injured. They filed the car to its full
est capacity. Beside each cot and bend
ing over the bundle that occupied it
knelt or lay the attendants, the parents
or children, the brother or sister, the
husband or wife. Hearts were silently
breaking as they watched the quiet or
moaning form, which, in many cases,
was
Struggling With Death.
The sight in the other car was as pitt
able one. In this the injured were
stretched upon the soft seats, swathed
in bandages. Their injuries, however,
were not Of such character as to force

they received sufficient to prevent them
from dwelling on the disaster. Almost
