We Of the prairieS are not supposed TO

that experienced seamen cannot under
stand why an ordinary storm Should
have so nearly proved disastrous to
such a huge sea fighter. Such an IN
steady man-of-war would find it neces-
sary in storm to devote herself entire

radical fault would appear to lie at the
bottom Of her building, although in ar
chitectural plan she is sister ship to

William Shaffertde. agent of the

He was Mortified to see that instead

"SILVERuDICK."
He Wants No Office, But VIII Con-
tinue to Fight For the White
Metal.

LEBANON, Mo-, July 12-In their
disappointment over the defeat of
Bland for the presidential nomination
many Missouri Democrats have turned
to MI Bland to lead the party in Mis-
souri, this fall as the candidate for
governor. He has received many tele-
grams and letters the past few days
urging him to be a candidate.
These earnest requests and solicita-
tons have not moved him and will not
change his course. He made up his
mind several years ago that he did not
want to be governor, preferring to con-
tinue his fight in congress for the peo-
pie of the entire country He said to-
night that he would not be a candi-
date for governor; that he did not want
the nomination and under no circum-
stances would he enter the guberna-
torial race.
He made this statement in the most
positive and emphatic manner, leav-
ing no doubt that he meant it and that
further efforts on the part of his
friends to induce him to become a can
didate for governor would be useless.
In this connection, Mr.. Bland said.
that he was a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for congress in this,
his old district. He desires to go back
to congress to make the fight for free
silver in the house.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trnfn in Omnhn.

OMAHA, July 12.-The train which
carried the dead arrived at the union
depot at $3.50 O'Clock. 1t had been
given out THAI it would not arrive I'M
til noon, and this was responsible for
the tact Inat only a few OF the reia-
tlves of the lost were there to receive
their bodies. But even then there was
enough OF notwithstanding woe to touch
the sympathies OF those who saw the
pitifuI spectacle.
The ponce had stretched ropes across
the platform to keep Dack the crowd,
and the train men, assisted by posse
OF police, tenderly lifted the BODIES
from the train and deposited them in
a long, CHASTITY row on the floor in the
baggage room. Each was covered by
a sheet, and when the line was COM
pete a passage was cleared and those
VINO had friends among the dead were
allowed to pass through the improvised
morgue. One by one they passed down
the line, lifting the coverings from
each bruised and blackened face as
they went along. Some of them failed
10 lind the face they carried in their
hearts Others found it but too soon,
and their sufferingS as thy beheld the
terrible certainty that killed all hope,
was piriful to see. One father bent
over a shlated form that lay near the
middle of the row. The light that fill
tered through the GREATNESS crowd fell
on the still, smiling features of his
little BOY. The body was terribly
crushed, but the face was untouched.
Involuntarily he lifted a shroud little
further until the mangled body was
disclosed, and then uttered a cry of
agony that brought tears to the eyes
of many an onIooker who had looked
on death before. The fact that several
of the dead were children added not a
little to the pathos of the scene. At
one end OF the row lay the body OF
Mrs. Maggie Bradley, while her babe
slept between two men at the other.
Finally the body Of the child was laid
beside that of its mother and they were
taken away together. The train brought
over twenty dead bodies altogether.
Only part Of them were identified
during the half hour while they were
at the depot, and then they were all
taken away to various establishments
to be prepared for burial Some of the
identificatio were not positive, and
in several cases one bystander would
claim to be certain that he saw the
body of one man, while others would
be equally positive that he was mis-
taken. But the bodies were so badly
mangled that it was impossible to al
low them to remain longer without at
tention, and in several cases they may
not be positively identified until they
are prepared for burial

GLENWOOD SPRINGS. Colo, July
12.-Judge Henry C. Calwell, when
asked his opinion of the work of the
Democratic convention, replied:
THE wisdom OF it's action almosT
amounts to inspiration. No better mel
and sounder platform have been pre-
sented to the American people by any
party in a third of century.
ut marks an epoch in the political
history of this country. For twenty
five years the people of this country
have been beguiled and deluded by the
false and deceitful promises of both the
great political parties that they would
restore to them the money of the con-
sditutiOn. The Chicago convention. voic-
ing the sentiments of the people, has
repudiated the action of the Demo-
cratic president and joined issue with
the gold standard Republicans. The
Chicago convention is the first national
convention held by either of the great
political parties for quarter of g. CEN
fury which has not been dominated by
Wall street influence and ideas.
''The Democratic party has had a
new BIRTH it has freed itself from the
taint of Tammany and the influence of
Wall street. This has been done in
such a clear and pronounced manner
that Senator Hill is forced to declare
THAI not a single plank in the platform
enunciates Democratic principles,
meaning, of course, Democratic princi-
pies according 10 Tammany and Wall
street standard
When those who support a gold
standard. a Mckinley tariff, with all
its cOnCOmitants of monOpolies and
trusts and the principles of Tammany
hall and Wall street denounce a plat
form of PRINCIPLES. that is good evil
dence that it enunciates sound princi-
pies and deserves the approval and
support of the honest masses.
IF Mckinley is the Napoleon of the
gold standard forces, Bryan is the We'll.
lngton of the allied silver forces, and
the historical parallel will be complete
except that this modern Napoleon after
his Waterloo will go to the headwaters
of Salt river instead of st. Helena"

YELLOW JACK.


1t Causes a Panic in the Spanish
Army.
KEY WEST, Fla. July 12.-Advices
from Cuba state that a panic in the
Spanish army in consequence of the
terrible increase of yellow fever in the
last few days exists. 1t is estimated
fully so per cent. of the cases prove IA
tai
In Santiago de Cuba there are 1850
soldiers in the hospitals.
Major General Linares is stricken
and life is despaired of. The physicians
and nurses are utterly incapable with
coping with the disease.
The epidemic is also very serious
one all along the trocha. In some
cases entire companies have been
stricken
General Arelas and nearly every
member of staff are i'll. Captain Cen
eral Weyler has ordered the erection of
new hospital along the trocha and
will send to Spain for additional phys
icians.
In Holguin and other places in east
ern Cuba the fever is raging with great
violence and is speeding to central
points.
From Matanzas comes most distress
ing tales. In that city it is said the
mortality is about so per cent. and it
is becoming difficult to bury the dead.

INJURED.


Lena Hubert
INJURED.
Patrick Collins, leg mashetA
Edward Kelly, leg broken.
G. E. Alden, left arm and wrist cut.
Peter Conner, internally injured.
Mrs. James Pagan, slightly injured.
Fred Grevell, internally injured.
- Heater, conductor of excursion
train, badly bruised and leg cut
Gertrude Pagan, badly cut.
Mrs. Bessie Cowing, back hurt.
All the excursionists were Chicago
people.
After an investigation the police ar
reste5 the following on a charge of
criminal carelessness. They are locked
up at Harlem:
James Gram, engineer of excursion
train; William Dolan, fireman on same
engine; Mike O'DonneI, engineer of
switch engine drawing freight train;
James Meehan, fireman of same en-
CINE; j. V. Kniskern, operator, who is
al eyed to have caused the fatality.
The chief blame for the accident is
placed on Kniskern who, it is charged,
carelessly walked away without throw
ing back the switch so the picnic train
could pass on the main track.
James Grim was the engineer of the
passenger engine and James Dolan
was the fireman. Neither was injured
Michael ODornell the engineer of
one of the freight engines, was in his
cab with his fireman, James Meehan,
at the time Of the collision and they
too leaped' early enough to escape
serious injury.
They were cut little by flying
splinters.
The wrecked train was the first sec
ton of picnic train. The picnic had
been held at Schiller park, about
twelve miles west of the city and was
under the auspices of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen. Fully 5000
people were in attendance. The fist
section consisted of thirteen cars and
left the park shortly after s o'clock
for the return trip to the city.
All the cars were crowded and many
people were standing on the platforms
When the train reached Altenheim
cemetery, ten miles from the city, it
ran into an open switch in front of the
depot.
The picnic train was not running at
over ten miles an hour, and when it
neared Altenheim the switchman at the
depot opened a switch to transfer a
freight train and did not close it in
time to prevent the picnic train from
dashing upon q siding where a train
of empty coaches were standing wait
ing for clear track in order that it
might go TO the picnic grounds. The
train did not strike the the empties on
the siding with great force and in fact
the engine OF the picnic train was not
damaged beyond a broken pilot. The
force of the collision was sufficient,
however. 10 jam the first coach up
against the baggage car in such a way
as to partially telescope it. The people
who were killed were all standing on
the platform of the first coach and
their lives were crushed out by the
rear end Of the baggage car.
All of the seriously injured were in
the first car and none of the passen-
gers in the other cars were badly in
jured, although some of them were
bruised by being thrown against seats
and to the floors of the cars.
The officials did not notify the city
police of the accident for three hours,
and none of the victims were brought
to this city for over four hours after
the accident.
