The McCook Republican 10 giving an
account Of the wreck al IndianolR, Neb.,
says:
"The second section Of No. 4, drawn by
engines 225 and 81, left here twenty min
utss behind No. 4, passenger, in charge
Of Conductor Fred Wasbburn. John
Burton, head engineer, supposing he
had clear track was pulling into Indian
ola at full speed when he saw the train
at the station. He reversed his engine
and applied the mir, but too late. the mo-
msntum Of the train Is too great and he
crashes into tho tram with the above re-.
suits and his escape from instant death
is miracle. Ed Walters, his fireman,
when he saw that collision was immi-
nent, jumped to save hinsslf but was
caught In the vreckaee and instantly
killed. No. 4. had run into the side track
at Indianola to allow No. li7, (which was
behind time, to pass. and when Sol Brace
engineer on No. l47 saw the incoming
freight he tried TO back his trsil out Of
the way but the hsavy freight bore down
on HIM rapidly ind they came together
with tremendous force, the shock Of which
was felt all over the city, and he meets
death standing ct his post OF duty.
The wreck occurred on the main line
just east Of the depot and the track is
torn up for rods and the heavy s,csl rails
twisted together like so much wire, and
the three heavy engines and nine freight
cars arc piled up ono mass Of wreckage
and twisted iron and steel. Soon after
the dreadful accident the vreckage
caught fire and bat for the heroic efforts
OF the citizens Of Indianola in assisting
the trainmsn IN rescuing the dead and
injured and extinguishing the blaze, tire
would have added its horrors TO the
scene.
Seven Of the wrecked cars we're loaded
with sheep, several hundred Of which
were killed and wounded and scattered
about the yards or mashed beneath the
wrsckage."

We understand that the committee ap-
pointed BY the silver republican county
convention to meet at Holyoke on the
8, instant with like committees from the
democratic and populist conventions for
the purpose Of naming the candidates
for county ticket did not meet with
the committees from the two other par
parties but proceeded to complete the
county ticket by placing thereon as can
didats for couaty judge the name Of G. ].
Slater the Mckinley republican candi-
date for county judge, thus completing
fusion on tho county ticket with the
Mckinley republicans. We do not pro-
sumo to claim that the members Of this
committee took this action without the
belief that they had full power and au-
thority for 30 doing but certainly they
did not derive their authority from the
silver republican county convention and
1t is but fair to those who took part IN
that convention that this explanation
should be made. In the proceedings Of
the silver republican county convention, +,
from first to last, there WA not even a
hint or intimstion Of the possibility OF
sn attempt to fuse with the Mckinley
republicans. l.. P. Foster was nominat-
Cd for county commissioner and . con-
ference committee was appointed to meet
like committees from the democratic
and popul,st parties with view to nam
ing fusion ticket. The committee re-
ported that the fusion committees bad
failed to agree and recommended that q
committee Of three bs named by the con-
vsption to meet like committees from
the democratic and populist parties at
Holyoke on Saturday Oct. s, with view
TO naming county ticket. What action
members Of the silver republican party
as individuals may have advised the com
mittes to take we do not know. but 1t is
but fair 10 the members Of the county
convention that it be known that the
convention gave the committee no au.
thority to take such action. The read
ers Of the HERALD know the position on
the fus,on question held by us since 1896.
We have opposed fusion with the Nc
Kinlsy republicans not because Of any
objection to the ability or character OF
the candidates but because We have re
gsrded It Is not consistent politics Tor .

Of paramount Importance TO all other is
sues 70 fuse with party not holding
the ssme position on this question. We
did not protest against the action Of the
committee because we had any objections
TO the Mckinley republican candidate
for county judge for, personally, We have
no criticisms TO make upon Judge Slater
q = county onicial, but because we were
opposed TO fusion for the reasons stated
and because question Of fusion should
b pssssd upon by the county conven-
tiop.

that Harry L. Hershey, of Harris.
burg, Collector of Internal Re.
venue for this district, has appoint
ed him Deputy Collector for the
counties of Juniata, Perry, Snyder,
Miffiin and the northeastern part
Of Dauphin.
Mr.. Espenschade is an active and
energetic worker in the Republican
ranks, and is most deserving of re-
cognition and the rewards of the
party. He is moral and upright, a
first-class business man and in the
position to which he has been raised
will do credit to himselfand advance
the best interests ofthe service. Mr..
Es penschade has visited our county
on several occasions in the interest
of the Tuscarora railroad, and we
have always looked upon him as one
ofthe principal promoters of said
extension, and felt that if we got a
railroad at all, it would be mainly
through his efforts. His many
friends will in this neighborhood ex-
tend congratulations and hope he
will find his new work both pleas
ant and lucrative.-Me Fulton Re

Grafton and right royalty has it been
beribboned and festooned. Itsgrace-
ful portico is clearly defined, the
towers wear scintillating crowns, the
windows shine as if revelry were
within. Facing this structure is the
palace of Machinery and Electricity,
with all effective points penciled in
light. The east end of the lagoon,
in front of the last two mentioned
buildings, in company with the ada
cent terraces, landings, and broad
viaduct leading away from it, is
brilliantly lighted by incandescent
lamps supported by fanciful stand
ards of special design.
The marvellous result which neith-
er pen nor brush nor camera can re-
produce, is obtained by the use Of
nearly 10000 incandescent lights
with a combined power equivalent
to that of 16S,12O candles. 1t is
noteworthy that this is the first time
electrical illumination has been at
tempted on so large a scale by the
use of incandescent lights alone.

WE WANT THE PHILIPPINES.

This must have been Il kind-heart-
ed war indeed, if the United States
offers to surrender the Philippine is
lands, captured and held at an en-
ormous expense. Have the author
tiles at Washington wholly lost their
senses at this most critical instant of
our history? If so, the administra-
ton must and will pulledup with
a sharp turn. 1t is Il pleasure to
pay compliments and throw bou-
quets and we like the nice way of
doing these things, and slobbering
over the administration with palaver
which the newspapers have which
advocate holding the islands. This
is no time for palaver and all that
the administration has accomplished
will be lost to him politically and
historically if he allows Spain to
keep the Philippines, Or goes into
partnership with her in the govern
ment of the islands. We have con-
quered and earned the Philippines
and we want them. We have not
conquered Cuba and only hold the
tip end of it and have promised it
by act of Congress to the insurgents.
We cannot possess Cuba without
violating the national word. In
view of these facts, what twaddle it
is for Washington to tell the people
of this country, literally swamped
under war taxes on everything in
hard times, that it is proposed ia
surrender or jointly withSpain gov
ern the Philippines. Let such rot
talk cease and sternly do business on
common sense lines.

Bismarck an Ardent Lover

Bismarck fell in love at friends
wedding with the young woman
who became his wife, and presently
wrote to her parents to ask her hand.
The good people were naturally
much surprised at direct attack
like this; they were very simple
folks, leading very quiet life, and
they were rather frightened at the
reputation for the high living which
the candidate enjoyed.
As, however, their daughter in
timated indiscreet terms that she did
not look upon the young gentleman
with an unfavorable eye. Herr vor
Puttl<ammer wrote to young Bis.
marck, inviting him to come and sec
them.
Every one did his best at Reintelc
to give the visitor Il suitable recep.
ton; Fraulein Won Puttkamner's
parents pun on an air of grave so.
lemnity, and she stood with eyes
modcstly bent upon theground.
Bismarck, on alighting, threw hi,
arms around his sweetheart's necl,
and embraced her vigorously before
anybody had time to tell him that
his conduct was hardly proper ant
correct. The result was, however,
an immediate betrothal.
Prince Bismark was very fond Of
telling this tale, and was careful al
ways to finish the story by this reflec-
ton: "And you have no idea what
this lady has made of me-"
