Farmers in Good Spirits.

Washington, Sept. s.-Secretary Will
son was at his desk in the agricultural
department Tuesday for the first time
for month, having just returned from
his tour of the trans-Mississippi states.
He went as far west as Montana and
Utah, giving especial attention to the
agricultural interests of the states
visited, with particular 'eference to ir-
rigation, horse raising and sugar beet
growing. Il found the farmers in es-
pecially good spirits wherever went"
he said. There is no doubt that con-
fidence is restored and that the country
is justified in it's anticipations of better
times. The people are all busy in the
west. Indeed l do not believe there is
an idle man west of the Mississippi who
wants work"

He was a sorry-looking specimen as he
climbed YEARLY up to the witness chair in
Justice Severson's court. His eyes were
discolored and his features awry. lie raised
a bunged looking fist as he took the oath to
tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, "swelpimgod." His voice was
one of the oueerest in the world 1t was
pitched in squeaky, high falsetto and
seemed doubly comical coming from such a
husky-looking specimen.
"Speak up" shouted his honor; whats
the matter with your voice."

squeaked the prisoner.
''Pll frost your pipes for you" remarked
the court. What was it all about"

NiTROGLYCERIN ExPLODES.
Six Persons Hurled Into Eternity at
CyEnet, o.

Toledo, o., Sept. s.-A special to tne
Commercial from Cygnet, o., says: A
terrible explosion of nitroglycerin oc-
Cured here Tuesday afternoon at three
o'clock, which resulted in the death of
six people.
The explosion occurred at Grant well,
located at the rear of the National Sup
ply company's office building in the VIII
lage limits. This well had just been
shot by Samuel Barber, the shooter for
the Ohio & Indiana Torpedo company.
The we'll was a gasser, and when the
100 quarts of glycerin let down into the
well exploded, the gas ignited, and with
terrible roar the flames shot high
above the derrick.
AS soon as the drillers saw the flames
several climbed into the derrick 20 shut
off the gas, but they had hardly gotten
there when there was z terrific eXplo-
sion. The burning gas had started the
remaining glycerin in the empty cans
standing in a wagon near the derrick.
In another wagon near by were some
cans containing another 100 quarts of
the stuff and this was started by the
force of the explosion. The second was
blended with the first in mighty roar
and the town and surrounding country
for miles trembled from the shock.

Wheat has risen five cents the past

Knn.-Bryan Aids the Injured.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. "a special
to the Times from Emporia, Kan, says:
One of the worst wrecks in the history
of the Santa Fe railroad occurred three
miles east of here at about z: 30 o'clock
Wednesday night. Twelve or Is per-
sons were killed and as many more were
badly hurt. The fast mail train going
east and the Mexico and California ex-
press west bound collided head on. The
Mexico and California express was
pulled by two Locomotives, and when
they struck the engine drawing the fast
mail, the boilers of all three engines
exploded and tore a hole in the ground
SO deep that the smoking cars of the
west-bound train went in on top of the
three engines and two 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 enveloped in vol
ume of sitting smoke and steam, belch-
ing up from the wreck below, and the
rear door was jammed tight in the
wreck of the car behind. The wreck
caught fire from the engines. In climb
ing out of the smoking ear several men
fell through the riffs into the wreck
below and it is impossible to tell wheth-
er they escaped or were burned TO
death. Eight bodies have been taken
from the wreck.
The west-bound train carried seven
or eight coaches, and it's passengers
included many excursionists who had
been to hear Hon. w. j. Bryan speak at
the county fair at Burlington. Mr..
Bryan himself was on the train, but
was riding in the rear Pullman some
400 feet from the cars which were
wrecked. Mr.. Bryan helped to carry
out the dead and wounded and gave
the greatest attention to their needs.
