MINsTRELs IN A WRECK.
Nine Women Were Killed, and six Others
Were Badly Injured.

Cairo, Ill. (SpeciaD. The special car
of the Duncan Clarke Female Minstrel
Troupe was wrecked at Mounds, and OF
sixteen occupants nine are now dead
and six others are seriously injured
some of them perhaps fatally.
The dead-Alice Williams, Ollie En-
right, Eta Patterson, Patrick Patter-
son, Marguerite Compella, Anna Bell
Betty Ruby, Kittie Howard, Faith
Hamilton.
Seriously injured-Ettie Foye Elliott
May Martin Otis Well, Duncan Clarke
The injured are all in the hospital
here
Duncan Clarke, the manager, will
probably recover.
Patrick Patterson, the only man who
was killed, was the cook. He was
hurled from the car and struck the
switch stand.
Eta Patterson, his wife, was horri-
bly, injured, large piece of wood being
driven through her right shoulder. A
special train was hurried from this city
to the scene with Dr.. w. w. Ganslead
the company's physician, and corps
of nurses on board. They did what
they could to relieve the suffering COM
pany.

who are not willing to make such an
issue paramount have no possible JUS
tihcation for raising IL at all, for under
such circumstances their act cannot
under any conceivable circumstances
do anght but grave harm.
Tho Nations Expansion.
While paying heed to the necessity
of keeping our house in order at home,
the American people can not, IL they
wish to retain their self-respect. re-
frain from doing their duty as a great
nation in the world. The history of
the nation is in large part the history
Of the nations expansion. When the
first Continental Congress met in Lib
erty Hall and the thirteen original
States declared themselves nation,
the westward limit of the country was
marked by the Allegheny mountains
Even during the Revolutionary War
the work of expansion went on Ken
tucy. Tennessee and the great North
west. then known as the Illinois coun-
try, were conquered from our white
and Indian foes during the Revolution
airy struggle and were confirmed to us
by the treaty Of peace in 1888. Yet the
land thus confirmed was not then given
TO us. II was held by an alien foe un-
til the army, under General Anthony
Wayne, freed Ohio from the red men,
while the treaties OF Jay and Pinckney
secured from the Spanish and British
Natchez and Detroit.
In 1903, under President Jefferson,
the greatest single stride in expansion
that we ever took was taken by the
purchase OF the Louisiana territory.
This so-called Louisiana, which includ-
ed what are now the States of Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Louisiana, Iowa, Min
nesota, Kansas. Nebraska, North and
South Dakota. Idaho, Montana and
large part of Colorado and Utah, was
acquired by treaty and purchase under
President jefferson exactly and pre-
cisely as the Philippines have been ac-
quired by treaty and purchase under
President Mckinley.

OVER $500, 900 FARMS.
The COuntry's Enormous Agricultural
Resources.

Resources.
Washington (SpeciaD Probably no
portion of the work of the Census Bu-
reau Is of so much interest to the
South as the agricultural division" ="
said Chief Statisticlan Powers, who is
In charge of this branch of the bureau.
THE enumerators' sheets are not all
in as yet, but II Is already known
that the returns will show that
there are in the country between
5,500,000 and G,000,0)0 separate farms
Our inquiries regarding the conditions
existing on these properties include
the tenure, live stock and general
equipment The enumerators' returns
have been n little complicated, owing
to the number and Importance of the
questions, and we have been obliged
to send out about 250,000 letters so far
in order to get reliable data to complete
our schedules. But when this infor-
nation is all tabulated it will furnish
the country with some very valuable
facts.
AN effort is being made in the pres
ent census to get reliable data on the
subject of tenure of farms in general,
with view of showing to what extent
the land of the country is being held
not farm tenancy is likely to become
the established policy in this country.
These Inquiries have developed no end
of difficulties, as it has been developed
that negroes and ignorant whites have
apparently no idea of their own affairs.
Another phase of the situation is the
difficulty of separting the partial ten
ures which means farms operated on

Another very interesting exhibit
will be the figures on live stock. These
schedules are nearly complete, and
expect very son to be able to furnish
the statistics for the cities. In these
