OMAHA, Neb.. July IA heavy

freight on the Northwestern road col
lided shortly after six o'clock Saturday
evening near Logan, Ia, % people
were killed and 81 injured. Many of
the latter will die. Omaha was a city
OF mourning yesterday. The bright
Sabbath morning brought the full
realization of the greatest catastrophe
that ever wreaked death and desola-

people. No part of the city was spared.
There are broken homes and bleeding
hearts everywhere. and sorrow reigns
supreme. Twenty-four dead are iden-
titled, and the remains of the others
are so badly mutilated that identified
ton is hardly possible, all sem blance
of humanity being crushed out of the
corpses-

was necessary to transport them a con.
siderable distance after their wounds
were dressed. Owing to the mum Der,
it took still more time for the physi
clans, even though they worked as
hard and fast as they could, to adjust
the bandages and to tenderly dress the
gaping wounds that caused men, WON
en- and children to scream in the loud
est tones in their supreme agony.
Of the more seriously injured some
will die, some will hold their beds for:
weeks and months. some are in COM
parison but slightly injured. The
wounds range from surface cuts to in
ternal injuries, which must result in
death.
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

The Republican Nominee for President Re-
ceives the Foraker Club.
CANTON, O., July 13.-In a speech to
the Foraker club, which visited him
Saturday, ex-Gov. William Mckinley
said:
Recent events have imposed upon the pa
triotic people OF this country a responsibility
and duty greater than that of any since the
civil war. Then it was struggle to preserve
the government OF the United States. Now it
is struggle to preserve the financial honor OF
the government of the United States. Then il
was a contest to save the union. Now 1t Is q
contest to save, SpotleSS its credit Then Sec
tion was arrayed against section Now men of
oil sections can unite and will unite, to rebuke
the reputation of obligations and the de-
basement of our currency. In this contest pa
triOtiSm is above party and national honor is
dearer than any party name The currency
and credit Of the government are good now,
and must be kept good forever
Our trouble is not with the character of the
money that we have. but with the threat to de-
base it. We have the same currency that we
had in 1S92-good the world over and unQues-
toned by any people. Then, too, had
unexampied credit and prosperity. Our
difficulty is to get that money in cir
culation and invested in productive en-
terprfses which furnish employment to Amer
lean labor. This is impossible with the dis
trust that hangs over the country at the pres
ent time. and everv effort to make our dollars,
or any one or them, worth less than 100 cents
each only serves to increase that diStruSt-
What want is a sound policy. financial and
industrial. which Will give courage and conf
dence to all for. when that is done, the money
now unemployed. because of fear for the future
and lack of confidence in investment, will
quickly appear in the channels of trade
Gentlemen, the employment of our idle
money-the idle money that we already have
in gainful pursuits will put every idle man in
the country at work and when there is work
there is wages. and when there work and
wages there are consumers who constitute the
best market for the products of our country.
Having destroyed business and confidence
by free trade policy, it is now proposed to
make things still worse by entering upon
era of deprecated currency. Not content with
the inauguration OF the ruinous policy which
has brought down the wages of the laborer
and the price of farm products. its adj
vocateS now offer new policy which
will diminish the value of the money in
which wages and products are paid. Against
both of these We stand opposed. Our creed
embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished ma
tional dollar, adequate revenues for uses of the
government, protection to labor and industry.

ity which will extend foreign markets

ment of the American people.
