NOTHING BUT DEATH

jackson, --"Nothing short OF
death can prevent Bryan from being the
next democratic nominee, and nothing
but the intervention of the Almighty
will keep him from being elected" de-
clared Congressman Champ Clark OF
Missouri in an interview.
Democratic chances of success have
improved fully 80 per cent in the past
four months and are now brighter than
they have been in any presidential cam
paign in the past twenty years. 1t is
practically settled what the party plat
form will be, and It may be outlined as
follows: Re-enactment of the Chicago
platform; declaration against expansion;
strong plank against trusts and other
forms of oppression; opposition to a
large standing army, and advocacy Of
economy in public expenses"

TRAIN PLUNGEs INTO RIVER.

Omaha-The fast mail train on the
Chicago & Northwestern road, plunged
into the river near Boone, Iowa, shortly
after o'clock this morning. The wreck
occurred on the DesMoines river beidge,
where new track was being put in.
The train came down the track at the
rate of mile minute. which is sched-
ule time here. The train consisted Of
three mail and two express cars, and
while coming around a curve the entire
train left the track and plunged partly
into the river. The locomotive landed
In the stream, taking the crew with it
and killing the engineer and fireman.
Two postal clerks were crushed to death
In the wrecked cars. 1t was fortunate
in one sense that the train carried no
passengers.

Hon. G. B. Taylor, special agent Of
the United States Agricultural Depart.
mont who recently visited Grand juno
ton says in an interview with the Den
ver News. IA peculiar thing about the
raising Of sugar beets in soil which con-
tains alkali is that not only does the al
kali fail to trouble the crop, but the
bsets seem to have an important correc-
tive bearing on the ground, doing more
than any other crop, so far as we have
learned to take the alkali out and ren.
der the soil more productive. Beets do
not grow we'll in too rich ground but
are cultivated to best advantage either
in soil which has been worked long
time or, that which is semi-sterile by
nature. This fact is proof Of the fact
that the industry will some day center
about this section of the country.

AWFUL HOLOCAUST.
ELEVEN SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE

Quincy, Ill.,, Dec. 22.-While the
school children of st. Francis paroehial

were rehearsing this afternoon for an
entertainment to be given next Tues.
day evening, one of their dresses
caught on fire from a gas jet, and ter

The fire started in little dressing
room. Three or four little girls were
there dressing for the rehearsal and
laughing gayly among themselves. A
dozen others were grouped in the
wings of the stage near the foot of the
stairs descending from the dressing.
room.
The girls in the dressing room had
nearly completed their costumes when
one of them brushed against the gas
jet, but which child it was will never
be known. touch Of the flame was
sufficient, and in an instant her dress
of cotton and light cloth was in o
blaze. She screamsd and ran out OF
the room, spreading the fire to the
others as she ran.
One girl, with her dress in blaze
jumped out of small window into the
stairs leading to the stage and ran
down the stairs. A flaming torch she
was, as she almost fell down the stairs
and rushed into the groups Of children
standing in the wings. They were al
clad, like her, in fancy costumes OF
cotton, lace and silk, and the fire
spread with incredible rapidity from
one to the other.
There were fourteen children in the
cast of the Christmas entertainment
and few escaped. 1t was all over il
ten minutes, and in that time fou
perished, seven more were fatally
burned, and others more or less severe
ly injured.
