INDIAN TERRITORY WRECK.
Seven Men Killed and Six Badly
Hurt Near Hanson.

A most disastrous freight wreck occurred
on the Iron Mountain road at Hanson, +.
T., small station twenty miles west of
Van Buren,, at 2 O'Clock Sunday, resulting
in the death Of seven men and the serious
injury of six others, two Of whom will die.
The wrecked train was a local freight from
Cotfeyville, Kan, to Van Buren. While
the train was running at twenty miles an
hour the forward truck of one of the cars
near the engine broke. With the eXccp-
ton of two cars in front and three in the
rear every car of the twenty composing
the train was ditched. In the middle Of
the train was a car loaded with heavy
machinery, and it was from this car that
the seven dead and six seriously injured
were taken by the tranmen.
The occupants of the wrecked car were
party Of men and boys living in Wan,
who were going to Van Buren, to find en-
ployment in the cotton fields.
When the machinery car left the rails it
fell on its side, nearly all of the men being
caught by the heavy beams. A car of
logs was piled on top of it, and that any
escaped instant death is but little short of
q miracle

STRIKE IS SETTLED
CONFERENCE ACCEPTS e5-CENT
PROPOSITION.
Illinois Miners Denounce the Action
of the Conference and will Hold n
State Conference September 10 to
Decide What to Do.
M;ners, Strike sett,ed,

The great miners strike which was de-
clared on July 4, was brought to an end
Saturday evening, so far at least as west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia are concerned, by the action OF
the interstate convention of miners held at
Columbus. After day Of voting and
wrangling, the convention adopted res
olution accepting the proposition of the
Pittsburg operators. The vote was 495 for
and 81 against accepting the terms of set
tiement. The delegates from Illinois who
had 250 votes, were unanimously against a
settlement. Indiana and West Virginia
voted solidly to accept the operators prop
osition, but there were scattering votes
among the Ohio and Pittsburg delegates
against it.
While ten days is provided for the miners
to resume work, it is probable many of the
Ohio and Pittsburg mines will be reopened
at once. The Illinois miners will be called
in convention at Springfield September 10
to determine what shall be done in that
state. Some of the Illinois delegates are
very bitter in their denunciation of the
action OF the convention, since they claim
their interests have not been given due
consideration.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action of the deputies in firing into the
crowd of striking miners at Hazleton, Pa.

Have Fears Of Forest Fires.

The Black Hills people are anxious for
the time when the question of the forestry
reserve will be settled for good. There is
not only great anxiety on the part of
those who have prospective land in view,
whether it is or is not to be included within
the reserve, but from this time on danger
from forest fires will be greatly increased
The continuous hot winds have thoroughly
dried the underbrush in the forests until it
has become tinderboX Already several
fires have had their run, one town had a
very narrow escape and one rancher will
probably lose his life from over exertion
while protecting his home from fire.

Free Buying by Jobbcrs and Com

mission Merchants.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review of Trade
says: The business week has been
marked by continuation of compara-
lively free buying from jobbers and COM
mission merchants in anticipation of wants
at almost all important distributing points.
AT central western points, notably Chi
cago and st. Louis, business has been
quite active. Western iron and steel mills
are practically independent of buyers for
the remainder of the calendar year.
Exports of wheat (flour included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States and Montreal show falling off
from last week, but are still very large,
aggregating 5,46l,50b bushels. With the
exception of last week, when the total eX-
ports aggregated 6,25S,247 bushels, they are
the largest for any week this year and
compare with exports in the like week q
year ago of 3,799, III.
Corn exports are the largest for any
week since last spring, aggregating 4,94S,-

"MoNDAMlN CARNIVAL"
One Fare on All Rail Roads to
Sioux City.


Sioux City is about to give grand free
carnival to her natural tributary territory
and the railroads have granted one-tare
rate for the round trip during the carnival
week, October to q.
The program has been arranged as fol-
lows: Monday, October L. will see grand
reception of Mudje-Kee-Wis, the merry
monarch of Mondamin and 500 mounted
braves, by the mayor, city council, etc,
and day of great hilarity is promised.
Tuesday will witness the grand industrial
parades, with plenty of bands and
fun. Wednesday is set apart as
bicycle day, when 1909 cyclists are
expected to be in line, pa
rades, races, etc. Thursday will be ladies'
day-with the great floral parade, day OF
flowers, and when beauty will reign
supreme. Friday, grand band tournaments
and an evening of fireworks. On Saturday
this gala week will be concluded with
military, civic and commercial parades,
and the evening will be known as "All
Fools Night" with merriment, fun and
high jinks unrestrained.
The city will, we understand, be bril-
liantly illuminated each evening, and
every visitor is given the freedom OF the
town. Decorations, arches and bunting
will literally turn the town into palace.
A very special feature will be the dane
ing on the asphalt by electric light.
