: trbuting The Sunday newspaper. Do
you wonder that the workingman wants
his sabbath? Their vision is broadening
and they~are trying to- secure what the
church should aid them to obtain, a day
for themselves. AZ the present time in
three cities the BARRIERS are making a
demand for sunday. / hold that il is
their right TO have this day. The en-
giueers are making a similar demand.
We have here in Rhoie Island Sunday
base bail games, bicycle races ana open
parks where things are permitted
which the other New England states
have frOwned down.
"Then there is the moral side OF. the
question Whenever the sabbath Is neg
lectcd then follows a moral decline. We
find this verified by statistics. We find
an increase OF go per cent. in crime as
against - per cent. increase i'm the
population. This Is caused by the disre-
gard Of the sabbath. We are trying 10
arouse the people and there are three
ways we have OF working First is the
legal, second is the legislative or keep
ing out of the statute books open sun
day bills. and educational methods. We
ask your assistance"

life in the past few days, and the Off
GERS are just now getting in the old
members. The membership had drop

dozen. Many OF the old members have
now paid their back dues and are pre-
pairing Tor any emergency that may
arise.

tiOn.
General Methuen's is flesh wound.
He Is remaining at Modder river for
the reconstruction of the bridge. Am

a cavalry corps. Horse artillery, the
Canadian regiment, Australian con-
tngents and three battalions infantry
moved up to the Deaar and Belmont
line"
London. Dec. "A shudder ran
through England to-day when the first
record of losses in the ten-hour battle
at the Modder river last Tuesday was
cabled to the war office. The list of
casualties shows that the Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders, which Joined
Methuen after the battle of Belmont,
and We're therefore under fire for the
first time, bore the brunt of fighting,
but the entire guards brigade was Sc
verely dealt with by the Beers under
General Cronje, the most vicious fight
er in the Boer army. 1t was the dead
liest battle of the war. The losses
were nearly twice as heavy as in any
other fight.
The news spread fast. Great crowds
besieged the war office and all bulletin
boards We're surrounded by great
thrOngs Women with blanched faces
and tear-stained cheeks We're numer-
Gus and there was n strong cry for n
list of the names.
Methuens loss in one week fairly
stunned the public. At Belmont 297,
at Gras Pan 19S. The loss of 452 at
the Modder river fight makes his total
965.
The only other serious engagements
We're at Glencoe. where the British
loss was 211: Elandlaagte, 25S, and
Ladysmith. October 2Sth. 2S4. In.
campaign of less than one week Cen
eral Methuen lost more men than have
been killed and wounded elsewhere
since the war began. The war office
promulgated an order to-day calling
out further portion of the army re-
serve.

Harry H. Charles, of Quincy, ILL.,, has
submitted a novel plan to the post
office plan for C. o. D. department in
connection with the proposed parcel
post delivery. His plan would make
the postoffice the agent of the mer-
chant Parcels mailed at any postoffice
in the country could be delivered and
collected for in any other part of the
country. The same rule would apply
to the whole country. The postmaster
general is greatly taken up with the
plan and it may be adopted in the near
future, particularly as the attorney
general sees no constitutional him
drance in its way.

SIX PEOPLE KILLED.
DISASTROUS COLLISION ON THE
D. g. r. @.
A Rear-End Collision Near salida Caused
by Two Trains Runniog Too Close To-
gether.

Salida, Colo, Dec. 5.-The Denver &
Rio Grande siding six miles east of
Salida, known as English, was the
scene of disastrous wreck yesterday
morning
The list of killed and wounded is as
follows:
Killed:
Charles f. Osgood of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company, Denver.
II. II. Matthews, travelling freight
and passenger agent of the Burlington
road, Denver.
Sumner Barnes, Denver.
Mrs. George Porter wife of Engineer
Porter of the Denver ~ Rio Grande
railroad, Grand Junction.

Unknown man.
Injured seriously:
Thomas NJ. German, 1926 Downing
avenue, Denver.
George w. Pierce, prominent mine
operator, 1910 Sherman avenue, Den
yer.
]. Il. Brown, Canon City.
1t was a rear-end collision. the blame
for which. If any exists, will be hard
to place, because of the peculiar cir
cumstances from which the accident
arose.
narrow gauge passenger traln NO. d,
bound for MOntrosc, was run into by
the Grand Junction broad gauge No. 10
which was following but a few min
utes behind.
The narrow gauge had been tagged
at English by n quarryman. 1t was
brought to n sudden stop. The man
said that a mule had stuck fast in n
small bridge just ahead and he stop
ped the train to prevent n wreck.
He was told of the broad gauge
which was following close, and he ran
back to flag No. 10. but before he
could get back to the end of the stand
ing train his lantern went out, and, as
it was quite dark, train No. 10 came
laundering along and was almos. on
top of its luckless predecessor before
the engineer of the broad gauge got
flash of the rear lights of the sleeper
and reversed his engine.
1t was too late. however. to materi-
ally check the impetus of the heavy
train. With a fearful crash and a.
shrek it went against and into the in
ert train. the engine forcing its way
some distance into the superstructure
of the sleeping car Durango" wreck
ing 1t and also the coach ahead.
