HOW 1T OCCURRED.
Sc ction 4 Slowed Up at a Junction
Crashed into by Section 5.

section 4 Slowed Up at a
Crashed Into by Section 5.
Chicago, H., June Bottle victims of
the collision were Christian Endeavor
delegates, who left Chicago last night
en- route for the great convention in San
Francisco. The colliding trains were
sections Nos. 4 and Of a Christian En-
deavor special sent out in nine sections,
beginning at 1910 p. m. Section No.
5 ran into section No. 4, which left Chi
cago fifteen minutes ahead of it. Section
No. carried the Wisconsin delegates,
er were people from Fond du Lac, Green
Bay, Appleton and other Wisconsin
cities.
Collision was Terrific.
Section No. 4 had come to a stop just
out of West Chicago (Turner), where
the Freeport line DIVORCES from the main
line. Section No. 5 came up behind at
great speed and the shock of the col
lision was terrific. The passengers in
the two rear sleepers of section No. 4
were all in their berths and most of them
were asleep They received no warning,
and those not killed outright aWoke to
find themselves damned in the wreck
age. Passengers on both trains has
tened to the spot and began the work Of
rescue.
One of the first of the injured taken
ont was Engineer Charles Courtney Of
section No. ;. He had stuck to his post
like a hero and is SO seriously injured
that he cannot live.
The body of an unidentified man, sup
posed to be tramp, was found between
the baggage car and the engine. The
man had been crushed to death.
An immediate call was made for help
on every point within reaching distance.
Chicago was notified and asked to send
physicians at once and medical help was
requested from Geneva, Wheaton and
| Aurora.
The engine of section No. 5 struck the
| rear sleeper of section No. with terrific
| force. The engine was totally wrecked.
| Strange to say the rear sleeper of sec
| ton No 4 was not one to suffer most.
1t was driven with awful force upon the
| second sleeper and such was its impetus
| that it crushed through it as if it had

CALLED "MINORITY POPS"

There is not, nor has there ever
been, any sense in trying to establish
the fact that there are two factions of
the Populists in the present legisla-
ture. There are three parties repre-
sented here, viz: Populists, Democrats
and Republicans. Democratic papers
and one or two hireling hoboes who
issue what they call a Republican pa
per here, have named q certain little
gang the "minority Populists," bat
these fellows are nothing less than
deep dyed Republicans of the most
radical stripe. They are more Repub-
lican in point Of pie grabbing and
general cussedness than those who call
themselves Republicans.
More than once some of these So
called minority Pops" have declared
that they could not be driven out of
the Peoples Party. Well, they are
right in the sense of not being in the
Peoples Party, for if they are not here,
they cannot be driven out of it. They
feel they are not in it. Nearly every one
of them is conscious Of having done
wrong and looks more like a sneak
than anything else.
These fellows have helped the Repub-
iicans elect a Republican Senator
man who stands for everything that
the Populists have fought from the
birth OF their party. What more could
q Republican do than thisS II these
fellows will not open their eyes to
their position now, they will have
their eyes knocked open about the time
OF the meeting Of the next PEOPLES
Party State convention. II either one
OF them should come to the convention
as Peoples Party delegate, and we
snail be there a. delegate, one of III
would have to LEAVE. So help US God
we would not sit with a single one OF
them as a Populist. We would un.
hesitatingly make q motion that he be
not allowed to sit as q delegate. II
the motion carried, all we'll and good
II not, then we ,could leave the hall; but
IN leaving, We would not carry the
name Populist With US. We should
try to and some other party to Join
Tor II these fellows who are calling
themselves "Ainority Pops" represent
the principles and policy of the Peo-
pies Party. then by the eternal realm
OF truth and honesty, we want and will
have nothing to do with the PEOPLES
Party.
