The Missouri Pacific passenger train
No. 10, boand from Kansas City for
81. Louis, was wrecked one mile west
Of Jefferson City st $3.50 Wednesday
morning. Engineer Charles Clauson,
Of Sedalla, and Fireman William Zoll,
Of St. LOUIS, were killed. The train
ran into o boulder which had fallen
from the bluff on the river front upon
the tracks. The engine, as soon As It
struck, broke loose from The rest Of the
train and plunged into the river. The
engineer and fireman jumped, but were
caught under the engine as 1t rolled
from the track and were instantly
killed. All the coaches left the track
except the rear Pullman, but they went
on the opposite side Of the track from
the engine, against the bluff and thil
fact probably saved the lives Of the 30
passengers who were on the train.

Blanche X. Bruce, one Of the smart.

cbisement OF the ignorant negro BY an

terial whether such q law be in force
with the ignorant white or not. The
result, so far as the negro Is concerned,
would be the same IN either case. Such
legislation would not be unconstitu-

the unscrupulous politician who wanted
the negro's vote and the negro himself

Il our politics was rid Of the ignoran

done or not is, | think, not material foI

the ignorant white is not as ignoran
as the Ignorant negro, nor so much o

negro Is preSumptuous; the ignoran

The war department Is making .
greater effort to contradict Gen. Miles
than it Is making TO arrive at the truth.
Gen. Miles said 'embslmed' beef had
been furnished bis army. lie had tons
OF Il threwn into the ocean. The
expression "embalmed' beef was so
expressive that IL struck home. There
can be no doubt but the thousands OF
men who had to eat the meat or 60
hungry were competent TO judge, but
they we're not called on to testify.
Major Harrison, Of the Ninth New
Orleans regiment, says the beef was
good, bat as soon as It was removed
from the refrigerator ships, 1t would
grow q "beard" before the cooks could
get 1t in the boiling pot. He said this
''besrd" ought to have been scraPed
of and the meat below was sound

Last night shortly after O'Clock, a
telephone message came to police head
quarters from Fulton. implOring that
sheriR Richards or deputy be sent
out at once to apprehend a murderer
who had 4ust shot his victim on the
principal street Of the town.
Efforts were made to find the sheriff,
but without avail. A few minutes later,
however, Deputy John Richards was
found and he, with Assistant Prosecut-
ing Attorney Nesbitt and Circuit Clerk
HennlngI and newspaper reporterswer
preparing to board an Elm Grove car
for Fulton, when a later telephone
message came. denying the murder
yarn and adding that the only founda-
tlon for the t6Ic,was a fistlc argument
two citizens had INDUCED in few min
utes before.
1t appears that Louis Sachs, horse
and cattle trader. and Louis Schwartz,
a carpenter, both residents of Fulton,
had disagreed over something, and
went at it hammer and tongs, so to
speak, in an endeavor to settle the dlf-
ficulty. Neither was hurt and late last
night no arrests had been made by the
Fulton authorities.
