along the track, glided over the switch
into the Blue Bird spur. but the trucks
of the tender remained on the main
track, and both engine and tender were
thrown from the tracks down the en-
bankment. The first baggage car ran

TRIBUTtS TO THE OCCASION.
Children's Chorus Was One of the
Features-Acquitted Themselves
Creditably.

The Ladies' Aid society OF the First
Presbyterian church is today composed
of number of very happy women.
Their fair has turned out success,
both socially and financially, and the
crowd present at the Auditorium last
evening was larger than on the opening
night.
"A musical and literary programme
ably arranged by Mrs. 4, O. Mcfarland,
one of the most accomplished musicians
OF this city. was rendered Several
talented elocutionists and so!oists we're
there and contributed their part toward
the entertainment.
Prof HebaE's orchestra. composed of
eight children, none of whom is more
than Il years of age, was the first fea-
ture The youngsters acquitted them
selves admirably and showed the results
or di igent and conscientious training.
See, the Conquering Hero Comes
was sung by children's chorus OF
about 90 voices, assisted by the choir.
The chorus was also drilled by Mrs
Mcfarland.
Miss Lydia Bartels, the well known
local violinist. was greeted with APP
plause. She played "Caratina," by Raft,
responding to an encore with short
selection from the Hungarian Fan
tasia.
The next number was a male quar-
tette, composed of the following gen
tlemen: Fred kitto. Hi Kendall, F.. A.
Hoblit and Cliff Blivan. They sing in
perfect harmony and all have very
good voices.
Sisnor Natjeck's two clarinet solos
We're thoroughly appreciated by the
audience. Mrs. Mcfarland was his ac-
companist
Mrs. Weirick's recitation "Archie
Dean," was very we'll received, and
she responded with catchy encore.
Two fine contralto solos were rem
dered by Miss Frances c. Heldt of
Great Falls. Her voice is rich and we'll
trained, and with proper strengthening
will make Miss Heldt a figure in more
places than Great Falls and Butte.
The programme was concluded with
an excellent recitation by Mrs William
Cochran.

garded as one of the luckiest ti,It has
ever occurred on the road. All the pas
senger coaches remained on the track,
and it is considered a miracle that one
or more did not go over the embank-
ment. which is about six feet at that
point. Had such thing occurred, the
loss of life and injuries to the pas
sensers would probably have been
great.
ONE OF THE DEAD IDENTIFIED.
The bodies of the dead men were TAX
en- to Richards undertaking parlors
and an examination of their effects was
made by Coroner Brown. On the young
er man he found a membership card
of the Eagles of Wallace, Idaho. 1t
bore the name of William j. Connolly.
There was nothing on the person of the
other man which would serve to dis
close his identity, but it is believed that
the man came from Spokane. The only
thing to support this suppoSition is
that the tramp who escaped unhurt
was heard to make this statement.
This morning Coroner Brown impan-
nelled a jury and visited the scene of
the accident. The jurymen are p. J.

THE RAILROADS. ;

F. I. Whitney, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Great Northern at
st. Paul, has issued the following cir
cular letter over his own signature:
Some person or persons are soliciting
advertisements for a publication pur-
porting to be called The Northwest to
be circulated with the compliments of
the Great Northern railway They pre-
sent letters of introduction and author
ity which is claimed to be signed by
he general manager Of the Great North
ern railway.
They have been operating in Mill
waukee, Chicago and other large cities.
Their plan is to solicit advertisements
and business cards to be published in
the alleged work. and all firms repre-
sented are promised a number of copies
of the production. They collect from
81 to $40 from the firm with whom they
can make contracts and that is the last
heard of them We are in receipt of
numerous complaints from individuals
and business houses that have been
victimiZed."
r. E. Fay, rate clerk in the freight de-
partment of the st. Paul office Of the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis, has resigned
to take more desirable position in the
office of the assistant superintendent of
the Northern Pacific at Missoua, Mont.
Mr.. Fay left Sunday evening to assume
his new duties.
President James ]. Hill, Of the Great
Northern, is confined to his home in ST.
St. Paul With severe cold contracted
during a rainstorm short time since.
1t is not regarded as serious, and Mr..
Hill remains at home rather against
his will, though on the advice of his ply
sician.
The announcement that the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy is nearing Salt
Lake City, is evidence that the company
is going ahead with its plans to reach the
coast. 1t was supposed that the COM
pany had stopped it's work just north of
Cheyenne, but evidently it has been
going ahead with it's building. With the
Burlington entering heartily into through
transcontinental business, 1t can easily
be seen how important 1t is that there
should have been a community of own
ershp of these lines established.
The Burlington gross earnings for Oc-
tober We're the largest in the company $
history, passing for the first time the
S., ,000,0 900 mark. The best previous month
was October, 1899, when gross earnings
amounted to $4,Sl6.611

terly meeting of the western railroad and
traffic managers was held today in this

dance. President Jeffery of the Denver

The PROBABLE CAUSE.

1t is claimed by some Of the railroad
men that the accident was caused by the
switchboard on the rail being broken by
the train that preceded the wrecked
train. How the torpedoes came on the
tracki mystery, but the general sup
position is that the broken switch was
discovered by some of the trainmen on
the preceding train. Why they did not
make an effort to warn the incoming
train is something that is not clearly un-
derstood.

PROBABLY FROM ANACONDA.

The identity of the other dead man is
unknown, but from paper found in his

The Industrial Commission.
rHenrv Hall in Pittsburg Times }

Henry Hall in Pittsburg Tines
The most important duty of the In
dustrial Commission is yet to come.
Not only is il charged with lnvestlgat-
ing and reporting upon industrial and
business conditions, but it is Ito sug-
gest such legislation as it may deem
best upon these subjects, and must
also Suggest such laws as may be made
basis for uniform legislation by the
various States of the Union. Speak
ing of this ex- Representative I. w.
/ Phillips, of New Castle, Pa, the author
of the bill and also one of the commits
sioners under it, said
This is the first commission charged
with the duty of recommending leglsla-
ton. All Others have merely investi-
gated and reported leaving the question
! of legislation to others. Consequently
our work is most important. This com
mission is the only means by which the
testimony it has taken could have been
obtained, and that testimony must be
of almost incalculable value to Con
gress and the State legislatures in their
efforts to frame proper industrial legls-
| lation. Our theory has been to utilize
the existing statistics and information
contained in the reports of the National
and State labor bureaus, factory in
spectors, the English and other foreign
| labor commissions, and of Australia as
well. supplementing this vast mass OF
information, which the commission it
self could not now obtain at an expendl-
ture of less than 81, ,000,00 with the
testimony of the leading representatives
of every branch of industry. This in
uuiry is being made with close regard
to new industrial conditions. This Is
an age of change. The conditions of 20
wears ago are not those of today. An
| inouiry such as this must deal with
things as they are, tracing them back,
if possible. to their causes, and then re-
commenting legislation to meet them.
Mr.. Phillips takes a deep interest in
the work He introduced the bill Great
ing the commission to the Fifty third
Congress, but it did not pass. Re-intro-
duced in the Fifty fourth Congress, 1t
passed on the last night of the session.
| President Cleveland came to the capitol
the next day to sign bills up until II
o'clock noon, the hour of final adjourn
ment. Mr.. Phillips LAID the bill before
him for his signature. Il don't know
what to do about this bill. y said Mr..
Cleveland. 1T is an important meas
ure, and / have not examined 1t. John,
he said turning to Senator Carlisle,
shall l sign it?" Mr.. Carlisle shook
his head and the President laid down
the pen and pushed the bill aside. That
negative nod of Mr.. Carlisles head kill
ed, for the time, the measure which Mr..
Phillips had labored through two Cen
crosses to pass. His own term expired
that day, too, and the work of getting
the bill through the next Congress de
volved upon others. although Mr.. Phil
| lips came to Washington and aided IN
passing it in 1898. President Mckinley
signed it and the Industrial commission
was framed It's official life will end
next October but it is possible that Con
2ress may extend it, if it be found that
| its work cannot be fully accomplished
