the accident occurred thousands could

From the middle Of the sixteenth cen.

sought to regulate the Glove trade and
the price by annually destroying por-

Caused by Recklessne.s.
st. Louis, Oct. a6.-Shortly before
10 O'Clock yesterday forenoon two pas
senger trains on the st. Louis and San
Francisco railraod. going in opposite
directions. collided nearly opposite
Windsor Station, about thirteen miles
from this city, instantly killing eight
persons and injuring over a score,
some Of them very seriously. The
killed are all of St. Louis. Their names
are-Adolph Hohl. engineer OF the ac-
commodation train: Charles Mobine.

freshments: Miss Maud McKenna. aged
IA, his daughter; John Cartwright. The
collision was between the second Sec
ton of an excursion train bound west
and the Frisco Valley Park accommo-
dation.
Excursion Crew DisObeyed Orders.
From what can be learned the acci-
dent was the result of disobedience or
neglect of orders on the part of the ex-
cursion crew, who should have remain
ed at Spring Park for orders and let
the accommodation through. The ex-
curSiOn train was the second section of
special bound for st. James. Mo-. 100
miles west of St. Louis. where the Mis-
souri, Home for Aged Veterans was
dedicated yesterday under the auspices
of the G.. A. X. and Woman's Relief
Corps. The first section had gone
through safely. and the second. which
consisted of eleven coaches heavily
laden with G. a. r. men, their wives
and children. left St. Louis about 8
O'Clock. According to ]. D. Dishman.
the Telegraph operator and station
agent at Spring Park, It should have
stopped at that place. Insteal of doing
SO the second section passed by the
station and soon after met the accom-
mediation coming down grade at full
speed.
HOhl Knew Nothing of His Peril.
Engineer Hohl, of the accommoda-
tion, was not aware that the second
section was on the road. and in trying
to make the switch at Kirkwood crash

was terrific. both engines being demol-

scoped. The wreck was piled high on
the track. and above the sound of es-
Gaping steam could be heard the cries
of the frightened and injured passen-
gers. Next to the engine of the excur-

To avoid these losses the poultry

Selling eggs direct to consumers Is

fled with fresh eggs and the producers

Time and again we see articles GO
ing the rounds Of the press declaring
great things for the artichoke as a
food for hogs. We realize that many
OF these are on the boom order. The
question. however, Is one worthy dis.
cusslon. Are artichokes profitable
food for hogs? Doubtless some OF the
readers OF the Farmers Review have
had extensive experience feeding
them. We wish that such ones would
report the results OF their experience.
We know. of course. that to GER
tain extent the artichoke is valuable,
but the great question is. will 1t pay
20 grow it when the same work put
into some other crop would give a
larger amount OF feed? Doubtless
there are other considerations than
the ones that appear on the surface for
the growing OF artichokes. such as to
how great an extent they are exempt
from the effects of drouth and insects

The Editor Of tho Cleveland Leader De-
nies Charges Made and Espisiss the
Position os the Ohio Man On the A. =.
A. Question For Freedom Of worship

CLEVELAND, Ohio. April i6-The
following statement Is made by James
Il. Morrow, editor OF the Cleveland
Leader, q newspaper which, perhaps,
more nearly represents Mr.. Mckinley
than does any other paper:
persons who prctpi al to be conspic-
uous members of the American Pro-
tective Association, have given
circulation TO the statement that
william Mckirlcy Is q member of the
Ancient Order Of IIibernians; that NJ.
A. Hanna, who is Mr.. McKinley's per-
sonal and political friend, is Roman
Catholics; that Mr.. Boyle, Mr.. McKin-
ley's private secretary, is also Cath.
Ollie, and finally, that while Mr..
Mckinley was Governor OF Ohio mis-
appointments were largely made from
the membership OF u certain religious
denomination. IL is urged, therefore,
that Mr.. Mckinley is not the right
kind of an American
This statement is untrue in part
and in whole, Mr.. McKinley's Amer.
icanism reaches back to the war for
independence. william Mckinley
himself was a private in the Union
army while yet boy, and carried a
musket for four years. lie Is a mem
Der OF the Methodist Episcopal church
and has been member of that
denomination nearly all his life. His
ancestors anti his family for zoo years
have been Protcstants - Mcthodists
and Presbytcrians.
AT this time Mr.. Mckinley is one
of the trustees of the First N. Il.
church of Canton, Ohio, moreover
Mr.. Mckinley Is not a member Of the
A. o. II nor of the Il. T.. A. How
ever, he Is Free Mason, "a comrade of
the q. A. r., member of the Union
Veteran Union, of the Sons Of Ameri-
can Revolution, of the Loyal Legion
and of a college fraternity And these
are the only secret societies with
which Mr.. Mckinley has any connec-
tion whatever. The charge that his
appointments 20 office while he was
Governor of Ohio wers largely made
from the Roman Catholic church or
any other church is ridiculous and un.
true. He believes all men should be
permitted to worship God in the man.
ner that squares with conscience.
IL should be also stated that both

copal church. ] make this statement

ican citizen may know the exact
facts"
