Kansas City, Sept. S.-A special to
the Times from Emporia, Kan, says:
One of the worst wrecks in the his
tory of the Santa Fe railroad occurred
three miles east of here at about 1880
O'Clock tonight. Twelve to 10 persons
were killed and as many badly hurt
The fast mail train going east and the
Mexico &c California express, west
bound, collided head on. The Mexico &
California express was pulled by two
locomotives, and when they struck the
boilers of all three engines exploded
and tore a hole in the ground so deep
that the smoking car of the westbound
train went in on top of the three en-
gines and two wrecked mail cars and
balanced there without turning over
The passengers in the smoking car eS-
capped through the windows. The front
end of this car was, enveIoped in a
volume of sitting smoke and steam
belching up from the wreck below, and
the rear door was damned tight with
uhe car behind. The wreck caught fire
from the engines. The cars in the hole
and the smoking car burned to ashes
in no time. In climbing from the
smoking car several men fell through
the riffs in the wreck below, and it is
impossible to tell whether they escaped
or were burned to death.
The westbound train carried eight
coaches, and its passengers included
many excursionists who had been to
hear Hon. w. j. Bryan speak at the
county fair at Burlingame.
Mr.. Bryan himself was on the train,
but was riding in the rear Pullman,
some 400 feet from the cars which were
wrecked. He states that nothing but
a heavy jolt was experienced by the
passengers in his coach.

The engineers of the westbound train
had received orders to meet the fast
mail at Emporia, and were making up
lost time.
These two are the fastest trains on
the Santa Fe system, and the west
bound train must have been running
at a speed of at least 40 miles an hour.
/ The westDound express was going

mail probably within 200 feet

FRED TURNER'S VETO.


Sheriff Fred Turner was asked:
What do you think of the non parti-
san movement in the city, county and
state elections ?"
Tn my opinion, for the best interests
of good government, glle national party
lines should be adhered to. II not,
when digressiops are made theTefrcm,
eventually political indifference and de
mo1alizal.ion are likely TO follow. The
masses of the people lose all interest
whatever in political affairs and the
manipulation thereof might be left to
unscruoulous politicians
MATHEWS AGAINST IT.

BLAIR FOR a STRAIGHT TICKET
Postmaster Jed NJ. Blair expressed
himself on the non-partisan movement
as follows:
Il believe the people can be better
served by keeping THE two great ma
tional parties separate and distinct, and
am in favor of having straight Demo
cratic tickets in the city, county, state

Mr.. Bryan went into the fast mail

which he gave to the suffering passen-

The forests are still more remote, and,
through inadequate laws and incom-
plete information on the part of the
government, and the absence of au.
thority and means on the part Of the
several states. wo do not properly pre-
serve them. Through fire and indis,
criminate use of the az they are being
partly denuded. but probably 81 per
cent Of the destruction occurs from for.
est fires which often rage unchecked for
months and burn over thousands Of
acres. The lack of reservoirs in which
to store the melted snow and surplus
waters of the winter, spring and early
summer, to meet the needs of the dry
season, prevents the full use of avail
able waters and lands, and also leaveA
the lower country open to the destroy
ing influences Of floods. There is also
room for a clash of interests because
the states own the waters, while the
United States owns the public lands.
The storage of water and its transmits
sion long distances to large areas of
lands. through extensive canals, often
requires either national or state expen-
diture; large corporate capital; or an
assembling of interests by a large num-
Der Of settlers. The present land laws
do not encourage this mode of solving
the problem.
AS to the betterment of the land
laws, relief has been proposed by Sena>
tor Morgan of Alabama, and others, in
the way of ceding the public lands to
the states within which they lie. The
question Of forest reserves occupied for
several days the time of the senate in
considering legislation looking to the
protection of timber and a more care
full selection Of reserves. The control
or lessening Of the flood waters is now
under consideration by a sub-commit-
tee of the senate committee on com
merce, in pursuance of resolutions in.
PRODUCED by Senator Vest. and unani-
mously adopted.
Undoubtedly one Of the principal eco
nomic questions or problems now be-
fore the American people is the care Of
our waters and the development Of the
arid region. United as are the ques-
tons Of preserving our lumber supply,
the storing of our waste waters to pro-
vide against the erosion of river banks
and disastrous overflows in the lower
country and their use in the reclama>
ton Of u arid lands, thus providing
future homes for coming millions, the
problem is indeed a great one. But II
the stakes are high, the winnings are
sure. and the returns will be
GUS. With 700, OO0, 900 acres of land yet
undeveloped and IS to so per cent of 1t
fertile and susceptible Of irrigation, and
with water enough now going to waste
to irrigate 20 per cent of the total. the
question is indeed attractive Five to
10 acres of highly cultivated irrigated
land often support a family Of five per.
sons. SO our balance sheet may show
resources in arid lands upon which,
when reclaimed. we can locate and sup.
port an additional population of many
millions.
