they decided it would do no harm just

Teddy handled one of the big crackers
carefully.
Il wonder how much noise it will
maItr?'' he said.
"Oh! a awful lot" said 10. won't
it be fun"
YES" said Ted. "Wonder if we
mightn't just try one?'
Yes said 10; you go ahead and do
it. Para won't care for one"
So Ted got match, and 10 lighted
the cracker. That was all in the china
closet.
Lets take it out in the yavd." snid 10.
But just then Mr.. Podgers happened
to come home. The boys heard his
tread in the hall.

So they pat il lack.

1t was like eros. between boiler

Mr.. ard Mrs. Podrers rushed to the

Two very quiet little boys stood out

"They's good firecrackers, papa,"
was all he said
And his fcther went out to find

there was a great howl set up all

KANSAS MINERS CONFER.
Representatives Of 5000 Men Hold IN In
terestlng Session ut Pittsburg.

tersstlng Session at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, Kan, Sept. l0.-A dele.
gate convention Of the miners Of Cher
okee and Crawford counties met here
yesterday. A close estimate Of the
number Of miners In these two coun-
ties made by the miners themselves Is
$500, or at least 1000 more than the
number stated by the operators. Over
5000 Of these miners were represented
in this convention, more than has ever
before been represented at q similar
gathering. Several Of the questions
which came up caused much discus
sion, but the decisions were reached by
unanimous votes. II was resolved, o
majority Of the operators having
signed the agreement, that it Is now
In force without further signatures,
and that any mine violating Its provi-
sions should be closed down at
once by calling the men out. One
Of the most important things accom-
plished was the organization Of the
Western Miners 4 Mine Labor
ers' Protective association. This Is
intended to take the place Of the
United Mine Workers and bring to-
gether many elements now antagonistic
to the latter. The headquarters Of
the association will be at Pittsburg.

fenced for nine years and fined $1,000
on % counts for using United States
mails for fraudulent purposes. His
speciality was swindling alleged heirs
to fabulous fortunes in England. One
Of the chief witnesses against him was
Robert T. Lincoln, ex-minister to En-

imposed upon some of the best known
families in the south, getting into the

sentation with the Clergy.
CHICAGO, Sept 10. The Times-Herald
says: Rebellion has broken out in
the Methodist Episcopal church. The
laymen demand equal representation
with the ministers in the great quad
rennial legislature of the church.
Three times have the ministers voted
on this question and defeated it
and the laymen have lost pa
thence. The church will be
brought face to face next week with
a revolt that will probably overshad.
ow the question of women delegates in
the general conference. Leading lay
men of Indiana called state conven-
ton to meet at Indianapolis next
Wednesday to consider the question.
Another big convention will be held In
Baltimore next month and II not fore
stalled by the indianapolis conven.
ton, it is expected to issue call for a
national convention of Methodist lay
men to make plans to bring the minis
tiers into line. Under the rules of the
church each conference is entitled to
at least one lay delegate, but in no
case can 1t have more than two. In
the general conference at Cleveland
last year $1,000 ministers had 1877 rep.
resentatives, while the 2,700,000 lay
men Of the church had but 1919. Under
this system many small conferences
have disproportionately large repre-
sentation, while the large conference
that contributes heavily to the sup
port Of the church can have only one
lay delegate more than the small con-
ference over in China or India, that
has to be supported by money sent
from America"

Conductor Burbank and Engineer Ostran
der Charged with the Colorado Train
Wreck.
NEWCASTLE, COL, Sept. 1S.-Frank
Burbank, conductor, and Engineer
Ostrander, deceased, of the Colorado
Midland railway, are charged by the
coroner's jury with being responsible
for the frightful wreck which occurred
here Thursday night. The jury de-
cided from the evidence that the con-
ductor and engineer attempted to ar
rive at Newcastle siding upon the
time allotted by order of train dis
patcher to the Rio Grande passenger
westbound. Conductor Burbank was
released upon his own recognizance.
The death OF Rev. Alexander Hartman,
Of Herscher, ILL.,, and the finding Of
the body Of Engineer 0strander in
creases the number Of known dead to
II. The coroner's researches among
the ruins have convinced him that
from six to ten more met death in the
awful accident This materially re-
duces the original estimates.

A TRAIN WRECKED.
Seven Men Killed and Six Others
Badly Injured.
LIST OF The KILLED AND INJURED.
The Victims Were Stealing Ride to Van
Buren, Ark, to Get Employment In
the Cotton Fields-Fifteen
Cars Wrecked.

VAN buren,, Ark, Sept. ia most
disastrous freight wreck occurred on
the Iron Mountain road at Hanson, |.
T., small station 20 miles west of Van
Buren,, at two o'clock yesterday, re-
sulting in the death Of seven men and
the serious injury of six Others, two Of
whom will die. The dead are: Will
Fame, Charles Fame, Douglass Ander-
son, John johnson, Bose Henderson,
Frank Hamilton and II. A. Walton.
The injured are: George Cotfman, Jack
Jones, James Phillips, Robert Eur
banks, Charles Pender and George
Parker. OF the wounded it is thought
two will die, as they suffer internal in
| iuries, All OF the dead and wounded
were sent to Wan, with the exception
Of Walton's body, it being brought to
this place, where he has relatives liv-
ing. None of the trainmen was hurt.
The wrecked train was local
freight, No. As, from Coffeyville, Kan,
to Van Buren,. While the train was
running at a speed of 20 miles an hour
the forward trucks of one OF the cars
near the engine broke, wrecking Is
cars loaded with walnut logs and
baled hay. With the exception of two
cars in front and three cars in the rear,
including the caboose, every car Of the
20 in the train was ditched.
In the middle OF the train was car
loaded with heavy machinery, and it
was in this car that ID men were steal
ing ride, and from which seven dead
and six seriously wounded were taken
by the trainmen shortly afterward. 1t
appears that the occupants Of the
wrecked car we're party Of men and
boys living at Wan, |. r., who were
coming to Van Buren, to find employ
ment in the cotton fields. When the
machinery car left the rails 1t fell on
its side, nearly all of the men being
caught by the heavy beams. A car Of
logs was piled on top Of the one in
which the men were riding, and that
any escaped instant death is but little
short Of q miracle.
A message was sent to Trainmaster
Walsh at this place by the train crew.
He Immediately ordered out wreck
ing crew and, with Division Road
master McIeon, went to the scene Of
the wreck, taking with them DR.. Dib-
rell, the company's local surgeon at
this place. The first thing done was
to extricate the dead and wounded.
