why tho warehouse nan should Pass.

For a number Of years the tendency in
prices of grain has been downward ana the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer In the way OF
commissions have become OF more and more
importance 10 the producer. The reduction
Of such charges 10 a minimum has become an
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
by dealers in half dozen cities which are
reaching out for the grain business OF the
west. The public warehouses have been
most important factor in furnishing TO the
farmers OF Illinois broad and active mar
ket. This has been done without interior
ing with the business of the country grain
merchants. A system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory 70
the country at large, but apparently IS not
satisfactory TO a little cotcrie OF dealers on
the Chicago Board of Trade. This coteris
has attacked the proprietors OF public Gle
vators on every possible ground and has de-
MED them the right in common with other
grain merchants TO buy and sell grain. The
public warehousemen for years have dealt
in grain and the competition stimulated by
their position in the trade has been most
beneficial TO the interests OF the farmer.
While the custom of warehousemen deal
ing in grain has been established by Gus
tom the Illinois statutes are silent as TO their
rights and powers. The bill now in the leg
islature clearly defines their rights and
meets any objection which could be raised
TO their acting in the capacity OF grain mer-
chants and warehouscmen at the same time.
The proposed legislation is in the interests
Of the producers of grain throughout the
state and should be enacted. The opposi-
ton comes from the Chicago Board Of Trade

A reporter recently called at this famous

apparently in the best Of health. In re-

PIG PEN POINTERS.

With good clover pasture hogs can
be made TO fatten very rapidly and at
low cost.
AS soon as the pigs are two weeks old
begin to feed them in a side trough.
This will push them along nicely and
save the SOW.
There is encouragement In the gem
eral acquiescence in the policy Of Civ
ing swine range-plenty OF grass and
clover, and less OF the everlasting corn
diet. We no longer aim at masses OF
living lard.
Boar pigs that are doing service need
careful attention and good feeding. Do
not feed any great quantity of corn; try
a few peas, ground oats and handful
OF oil meal. and exercise them as much
as possible.
In n majority OF cases, however good
may be the clover patch which the farm
err has for his hogs. II will pay TO buy
q supply OF ship-stuf TO feed with it,.
This for the sake OF variety and for the
good of the pasture.
Plenty OF hogs are killed by quHclS
nostrums when cholera is supposed 20
be in the herd. Aconite and concen-

COLLISION AND THEN FIRE
Forty Persons Perish in a
Colorado Train Wreck.
4 TOURIST SLEEPER BURNED
RADIO Midland Stock Train-Disobeyed
Orders--The Emporia Wreck.

Denver, Sept. 13.--A special to the
News from New Castle, Colo, says:
Rio Grande passenger train No. ], run
ming one hour late, collided with Col
orado Midland stock extra, | u miles
west of New Castle. Both engines are
total wreck.
There are in all probability 40
human beings in the burning mass.
Shortly after the collision occurred
the baggage. day coach and tourist
sleeper caught fire, while one Pullman
and special car from the Hannital &
st. Joseph railroad remained on the
track.
The fault is said to lie with the train
crew of the extra.
Details OF the wreck are hard to OBJ
tain. 1t is known that A. Hartman
and wife and two children, of Harshon,
ILL.,. are among the dead; Engineer
Gordon, Of the passenger train; R. H.
Bedley, postal clerk, and Robert How
lett, passenger fireman, are fatally in
jured. Engineer Ostrander ana Fire
man Sutliff, are missing, and are be-
lieved to be buried in the wreck.
So thoroughly are the trains demol-
ished that but few of those caught es-
capped alive, those not killed by the
shock Of the collision being burned to
death in the ruins OF the cars.
A Rio Grande special, just arrived
from Glenwood, brings doctors and
! comforts for the wounded.
The wreck occurred on what is called
the Rio junction road. This runs from
New Castle to Grand Junction. 1t be-
longs jointly to the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado Midland, be-
ing used by both roads. -
Two cars of stock were completely
demolished. and the right of way is
strewn with dead stock and debris.
Conductor Burbank's explanation of
the wreck is that in looking at the
\ passc2gerAs leaving time on the card he
looked at the wrong column of figures.
Two Italians caught in the act OF rob-
bing trunks have been placed under
arrest.
The latest information from the
wreck makes it almost certain that 25
persons are dead, and dozen badly in
jured, fully half OF whom will die.

THE EMPoRIA WRECK.
Further Details of the Accident in
Kansas.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 13.-Twelve
known dead, one missing (probably
incinerated) and IA injured, two of
whom will likely die, is the record of
the terrible head-end collision on the
Santa Fe. as known tonight. 1t is not
positively known that the list given is
complete, and it is believed that several
were burned to death and nothing left
by which they could be recognized.
The bodies OF IL have been taken from
the debris, three burned beyond recag-
milton.
Nothing could be found of the re-
mains of the Wells-Fargo messenger,
]. F. Sauer. A handful of charred
bones taken from the wreck, however,
are supposed to be his. Near them
was found his watch.
Human ghouls delved in the burning
wreckage and plundered the baggage
and mail sacks which strewed the
ground. One man tried to snatch
diamond from the breast of an Emporia
doctor who, weak and nervous, was
creeping slowly out of the debris. He
had strength enough left to hit the
brute blow in the face, which made
him turn with curse and sneak away.
Mail sacks were dragged into the corn
field and rified.
The report of the Kansas City post
office is that practically all of the mail
on both the wrecked Santa Fe trains
was destroyed. One pouch, however,
for Southern California, on the west
bound train, is said to have been saved,
This train carried a large mail from
New York city to California, Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona. No official
report has been received here.
Trains over the Santa Fe will be run
by way of Ottawa for few days. The
cost of the wreck to the railway is esti-
mated at 100000.
AS the passengers and trainmen re-
covered from the shock of the explosion,
they looked for the injured and dead.
Far down in the heaps of debris sound
ed wailing voices of men pleading for
aid. While the rescuers were working
to get at the unfortunates, fire broke out
in the wreckage of the forward coaches,
and cry for water went up. Water
tanks were torn from their fastenings
in the coaches that could be entered,
and blood -besmeared men carried them
over broken timbers to quench the fast
spreading flames. The dead and
mangled bodies of four victims were
dragged to the grass beside the track.
After herculean efforts, the flames were
finally subdued, and the work of rescue
made more easy.
