Six Men Killed.

Wreck of Train on Omaha Road and
Six Men Killed.
Six men were killed and four seri-
ously, if not fatally injured in an ac-
cident Sunday night on the Omaha
railroad at Humboldt.
A work train was backing out of
Humboldt when a landcar bearing a
number Of Italians came around a
curve. The men, seeing their danger,
jumped from the handcar, but left it
on the track. The work train backed
into the obstruction and five fiat cars,
upon which We're a number of Italian
worlIlnen, jumped the track, killing
five men and injuring five others, one
OF the latter dying later. 1t is so far
impossible to secure the names of the
dead and injured. Brook Coleman,
an American, is among the dead, the
others being Italians.
AS soon as the wreck occurred the
Italians began making threats against
:hc trainmen, and their demonstra-
lions became SO fierce that the crew
were compelled to pull out at once in
order to save their lives. A relief
train was sent out with physicians and
when it arrived the Italians had quiet
ed down and no trouble occurred. The
dead and injured were taken to Sioux

OF between thAeighth and ninth mag
nltude, which undergoes wonderful va
rlatlons IN It's light. 1t belongs to the
same type Of variable stars ss the eel

hours and forty-five minutes When at
minimum 1t is three magnitudes
FAINTER than when at a maximum. in
o'Aer words, it periodically loses and
'nen regains SO much light that at one

eNahses of light are supposed to be
caused by dark body revolving
around the star, and producing

A German philologist has prepared
statistics upon the comparative rich
ness of all the spoken languages of the
world. English figures at the head of
the list with an enormous vocabulary
Of 100000 words. Next comes Ger
man, with $4,000 words; Italian has
$4,000; French. 10000; the Turkish
language, $4,000, and the Spanish
tongue only boasts Of 10000 words. 1t
Is not, however, by the number OF
words that we measure the value Of a
literature. The great French writers
of the seventeenth century for their
chef d'Ceuvres were content with a
vocabulary which only contained 5000
words.

Spruce Gum Crop OF Maine.

The spruce gum crop of Maine for
this year has been harvested and sent
to market. 1t has proved to be the
largest crop in the history OF the state
-tAlrty tons, worth about S63 600. This
is all collected by the lumbcrmen, and
contains considerable bark and chips,
but is sorted over by the thrifty Yam
kee, who sells it to the trust. An in
terestlng and peculiar thing in con-
hectlon with the gum crop OF this year
is the fact that the harvesters have
combined to crush the trust. They will
sell none Of their product to any dealer
who does not give his promise that no
gum handled by him shall be manufac-
tured and put on the market by the
trusts

What n Fine Day Means.

There are ten million bicycles in use
in the world. If half Of these turn out
on fine day. five million cyclists will
be having spin. If they do on the av
erage twenty miles apiece, that will
make a total distance Of 100000
miles in that day. A hundred million
miles is 1000 times round the world.
Each wheel OF the average machine
turns round 700 times in a mile. So
that one fine day, when half the eye
lists in the world dc a twertymile spin
witnesses 100000, 100000 revolutions OF
the 100000 wheels.
