CHINESE HISTORY
Embraces "a Period of More Than
2,4OO Years.
Self Culture.

Self Culture
Authentic history and biography in
China embraces period from the year
LIZ OF our era back to that remote ne
Rod Of 1851 years before Christ. The
historians Of China embrace a success
sion Of uninterrupted series of more
than 2,400 years. The full and contin-
uous history Of the empire was COM
piled in the second century of our era.
The great libraries of Picking contain
volumes Of books numbered by the hun
dreds Of thousands. In the archives Of
the government are still to be found the
ancient predictions of eclipses, made with
great accuracy, together with works on
astronomy which show a fair knowl-
edge Of that interesting science Biog-
raphies, very succinctly written, of the
emperors Of the most ancient dynastfes.
still exist, and written works of learned
men are as voluminous as those Of Euro
pean nations And all this learning and
love of learning has been acquired with
foreign people. If their authentic his
tories reach back to nearly five centuries
ago, mythical history reaches still back
into the very Night of Time
When Nineveh and Babylon were in
the splendor Of their might men in
China were predicting eclipses, making
catalogues and giving names to the
stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were
mere mounds of earth and rubbish when
China was great. and to this date the
civilization and life of the empire Is the
wonder of the world.

him also to the county Jail.
Shortly before IL O'clock George Butch

bailed himself out for $40 and went away
with $50 of his roll left Last evening
he was sent in again because of queer
actions near the union depot When

Inc Northwestern limited passenger
tram on the Omaha road, due in this city
from Chicago at 8:15 yesterday morning.
met with an accident on the trestle over
the st. Paul g. Duluth tracks near Payne
avenue, In which the passenger engine
was oerailed and broke through the tres
ne Inc engine was thrown from the
rails by a glancing collision with
switch engine that was too close to the
main track on siding. The fact that
the passenger train was not running at a
high rate Of speed prevented a disas-
trous wreck. None Of the coaches left
the rails, and, aside from fright and Sc
we're shaking up when the train came
to a sudden stop, the passengers escaped
without injury.
Engineer Darlington, of the switch en-
CINE, had his right hand bruised and
wrenched, but was not seriously hurt.
Responsibility for the accident has not
been fixed by the railroad officials, but
1t is intimated that the switch engine
should have been entirely clear of the
main track. Engine No. 236, that drew
the passenger train, is one of the largest
and heaviest locomotives in use on the
Omaha road, and that it did not crash
through the trestle bodily to the Duluth
track, twenty feet below, after breaking
partly through the woodwork, is consid-
ered fortunate. When the accident
happened the switch engine stood on the
side track, facing the approaching pas
senger train. 1t was believed there
was ample space for the passenger to
get by and there was no thought Of dan
ger until the big engine struck the
switch engine about the center Of the
boiler. Both engines tilted upward for q
moment grating against each other,
when the rails under the passenger en-
CINE spread and the cumbersome loco
motive began ploughing its way through
the timbers of the trestle The surface
boards broke like splinters under the
heavy weight and the engine bumped
along against heavy timber that went
to pieces like a rock in a blast. Wit
nesses Of the accident expected to see
the ponderous engine dive downward
through the Orders of the trestle but
as its entire length rested on the first
span 1t came to a stop, tilted over to-
ward the left side, where the front
trucks broke clear through the trestle.
The switch engine settled back on the
rails when the pressure from the pas
senger enegine ceased, and was damaged
only slightly where the passenger en-
CINE scraped its side. The passenger en-
CINE was scraped on the side next to
the switch engine and suffered some dam
age to the running gear. The railroad
officials say the financial loss incident
to the accident will be comparatively
light. The passenger engine was in
charge Of Engineer Wallace.
The trestle made the work Of a wreck
ing crew that was at once put to work
extremely difficult, and UP to a late
hour last night the big engine had not
been raised out Of the hole in the tres
tie. Traffic was not materially inter
fered with, however, as there are. several
tracks on the trestle by which the road
moved its regular trains throughout the
day on time.
