Gravel Train Runs Into Box Cars Packed
With Railway Hands.
Denison, Ia, Nov. 13.-Twenty-s six
men injured in the wreck on the Fort
Dodge and Omaha road Saturday are
being cared for here. Attic. gh several
of the men are very badly hurt the at.
tending physicians think all will recov-
err. Considering the large number on
the wrecked train, $50, it is miracle
that here were not more casualties.
The wreck occurred nine miles north
of Denison Saturday afternoon. A
gravel train, running extra, and a
work train containing $50 men, came
together around a sharp curve at q
deep cut in the road. The men were
just coming out from dinner and were
crowded into box cars like sheep, with
no chance for ESCAPE.
The engine of the gravel train
crashed through the box cars filled
with their human freight and tore
them into splinters. The roof of the
box car first struck was torn off, and
most of those who escaped made their
way through this opening, the steam
escaping from the wrecked engine
scalding the wounded men as they en-.
deavored to escape from the splintered
ruins. OF the injured, Ed Minkey and
Dan O'Brien are the worst hurt. The
severely to seriously injured were

The English nation will bring to the
front sufficient force to crush the
Beers, but before they do it there will be
many a wound made in the British
ranks, for the people who have fought
their way through half of Africa
against savages and wild beasts are no
mean foes. In few months their re-
sources will be exhausted and they
must surrender. 1t may be that some
considerable portion of the old men
and women and children will again sue

ior of the dark continent, but it is not
probable. 1t is in some respects one Of

Republicans Say Shsw's Plurality Is 61,-
OOO-Democrats Concede 10000.
Des Moines, H., Nov. Collection re-
turns came in slowly but continued to
be more favorable to Republicans.
Governor Shaw's RepD plurality is
now declared to be $1,000 by the Re-
publican committee, the Democrats
conceding $4,000. Comparison with
the vote of two years ago shows Re-
publican gains although the vote is
much lighter than then. Several coun-
ties heretofore Democratic, notably
Monroe, have given good sized Repub.
lican pluralities. The sixty-seven coun-
ties SO far reported give Shaw plu-
rality of 40,301. Twenty-three coun.
ties are yet to be heard from.
The indications point to Republican
gains in the lower house of the legis-
lature. Cummins, candidate for Unit.
ed States senate, claims he will have
a clear majority in the house and that
the senate will be evenly divided be-
tween himself and his chief opponent,
Gear. The indications are that the
result of the senatorial contest will not
be decided by Tuesdays election and
that the nomination will depend on
the legislative caucus in January.

1t cannot be claimed that these Jones
votes indicate confidence in republican

Bryan's Summary of Result sof Re-
cent Elections.

cent Elections.
just before starting from st. Louis
for hunting trip in Arkansas. and
Texas, Mr.. Bryan issued a statement
giving his views on the result of the
recent elections from which we extract
the following:
"In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
where the democrats reatfirmed the
Chicago platform, find that they have
made gains, while in New York and
New Jersey the republican vote shows
falling off. Maryland is now safely
democratic.
"The result in Kentucky does not
give any encouragement to the repub-
licans. The latest returns show that
the contest between Mr.. Goebel and Mr.
Taylor is very close. The democrat.
claim the election of Goebel and the
entire state ticket by small pluralities
The legislature is safely democratic in
both branches and the election of Black
burn to succeed Lindsay is assured
No one who has watched the contest
will doubt that with democracy united
on national issues Kentucky can be re-
lied upon for majority of 10000 or 80
600.
"What consolation can republi-
cans draw from the Ohio election? Mr..
Hanna secured the nomination of his
candidate for governor upon platform
indorsing the republican administration
And while it appears that Nash has a
plurality of about $4,000 over Mclean,
Mclean and Jones together have a
majority of something like $4,000 over
the republican candidate. Mclean ran
upon platform emphatically indorsing
the Chicago platform and condemning
trusts, militarism and Imperialism, and
he made gallant fight against great
odds. The Jones vote is anti-republi-
can.
"The Nebraska campaign was fought
on national issues and the fusion can
didate for judge received about 14,OOC
this year, as against 1900 last year for
the fusion candidate for governor, and
1900 for the fusion electors in 1886
and the fusion candidate for Judge in
1897. The fusionists made net gain
of three district judges and large gain
in county officers.
"Taken as whole, the election re-
turns from all the states give encour.
agement to those who hope for the over
throw of the republican party in 1900.
1t is evident that those who believed in
the Chicago platform in 1896 still be-
lieve in it. 1t is also evident that the
hostility to the Chicago platform among
those who opposed it is not as pro.
nounced as it was in 1896. If the re-
buke administered to the republicans
at the polls had been more severe the
prospect of remedial legislation at the
hands of republicans would be brighter.
While it was sufficient to indicate that
the people are not satisfied with the re-
publican policies it may not have been
sufficient to stay the course of the re-.
publican party toward plutocracy and
toward the European idea of gov
eminent built upon force rather than
upon the consent of the governed-a
government relying for its safety upon
large standing army rather than upon
