Sioux City, Iowa, has adopted the serving of hot lunches during the noon ment of the building. The custom of having but one session and dismissing at an early hour was opposed on the ground that the pupils were not given time to eat their lunch properly, and that the effect on their health was be- coming marked. A hygienic and nour- fishing lunch furnished in the school building will, it is thought. obviate the diffic1lty.

SANTA FE WRECK.
Two Persons Killed and Ten In
jured Near Guthrie.

Guthrie, o. T, Oct. 1.-Two persons
were killed and ten injured in a wreck on
the Santa F'e railroad last evening,
about o'clock, near Waterloo, a small
station twelve miles south of Guthrie
The dead are:
EDMOND ROWE, cattleman, of
Jonah, Williams county, Texas.
THOMAS H. MAYER, travelling man,
of Oklahoma City.
The injured are:
James S. Lyon, implement dealer,
Guthrie, shoulder sprained.
George H. Willis, merchant tailor,
Guthrie, ear torn and scalp bruised.
R. Antrim, Ray county. Mo, badly
bruised.
Joseph vandevere. Ray county, Mo,
arm slightly crushed.
Roy Vandevere, 12-year-old grandson
OF Joseph Vandevere, back and abdomen
injured, regarded as serious.
Thomas McNeaI, farmer, Derby, kan,
slightly bruised.
c. T. Smith, of the Bell Wharf Eleva-
tor company, bruised over body
James Edwards, arm broken.
Edwin h Cooke, president State Ma
tional bank, Oklahoma City, cut about
head.
- Black, first name unknown. of
Texas, collar bone broken.
Newsboy, name unknown, severely
bruised about head.
The first intination of the disaster
was received here about o'clock and
came in the form of a telegram asking
that physicians be sent. A relief train
was hastily made up and with half a
dozen local physicians on board, was
hurried to the scene of the wreck. The
arrival of the Guthrie relief train was
anticipated by similar train from
Oklahoma City, which bore the killed
and more seriously wounded back to
Oklahoma City, when the wounded were
placed in a. hospital.
The wrecked train was the regular
passenger No. 408, John Rains. engineer,
and under charge of Conductor Ed Kit
chene. The train left Oklahoma City
forty minutes late and at the time of
the accident was said to have been run
ming at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour. At point half mile south of
Waterloo the track forms sharp
curve and it was while rounding this
curve that the wreck occurred, pre-
sumably by reason of the rails spread
ing. The engine, baggage and mail cars
held to the track, but the smoking car
after the first jar, plunged suddenly for
ward and rolled down q rather high en-
banlxment, turning completely over in
its descent The day coach and chair
car aso left the track, but were not
overturned.
The sleeping car was not derailed. The
fatalities were confined to the smoking
car which was crowded with passengers.
The first among the uninjured to make
their escape from the wreck did 50
through the windows of the overturned
car through which they assisted their
less fortunate fellow passengers. Thos.
H Mayer, &. travelling man from Okla
homa City, said to represent a Missouri
hardware firm, was carried from the
car in an unconscious condition and died
in a few minutes. Edmond Rowe. a cat
tleman from Jonah. Williams county,
Texas, aged about 10 years. was found
lying under a seat with his skull spit
open. E1e lived only half an hour. Three
physicians were on the train, who looked
after the injured until the arrival of the
relief train from Oklahoma City

BRUIN MEETS A TRAP GUN.

The black bear of the Allegha-
MES is nothing if not humorist.
While his days are usually few
and full of trials, he makes the
most of them, often to the chagrin of
his lord and master, man. His appetite
for young pork is often his undoing, but
there are some smart bears who man
age to catch a Shoat Or'twO once in a
while without coming to grief.
Farmer John Shuck, who lives away
back in the mountains, makes a business
of raising hogs A year or so after he
started in the business all the bears
within a radius of 100 miles had heard
Of it At least that is what Shuck
thinks. At any rate, Shuck's young pigs
began to disappear at an alarming rate
from an Enclosure which he deemed i'm
pregnabIe. At first he did not under
stand it. Then a friend suggested bears.
Full Of the bear theory Shuck loaded
a shotgun with slugs and laid in wait
for his enemies. Six nights he sat up
without result, and on the seventh, when
tired almost to death, he went to bed,
two of his pigs disappeared Then he
thought of a trap gun.
Shucl<'s trap gun was an elaborate af-
fair, calculated to kill everything within
a radius of ten miles when it went off It
was loaded with slugs to the muzzle and
pointed at the open door of the sty,
where, he reasoned, any sensible bear
would enter. A string across the door
provided the necessary exploding ar
rangement.
After setting the trap the urSc time,
Shuck went to bed confident of having
bear meat for breakfast. About mid
night he heard the gun go off. Rising
hastily, he hurried to the sty and arrived
just in time to see the favorite of his
flock disappear, personally conducted by
a large black bear. With his customary
curiosity Bruin had shifted at the gun
before he ventured into the sty. A paw
caught the string near the trigger, ex-
ploding the trap without harm to the
bear. Unfortunately, the buckshot tore
through the sty, killing four pigs and
driving the remainder out Of the sty.

ROCK ISLAND BUYS.
Acquires New Right of Way Into
Kansas City Depot.

For effecting a new and more efficient
entrance into the Union depot at Kan
sas City, the Rock Island purchased a 20
foot front property at the corner of
Fourteenth and Wyoming street, that
city for SALTS cash. This purchase COM
pletes the Rock Islands ownership of a
half block of property over which it
purposes to build its own entrance to the
depot. The Rock Island road enters
Kansas City over the Union Pacific
bridge across the Kaw and goes into the
depot over Union Pacific rails. This ar
rangement is said to be unsatisfactory
and the Rock Island is looking to using
its own bridge further up the river.
