quite unique and cannot but arouse
the fearful sympathies of al! kind.
hearted people. The poor mine
owners and operators just ache to
pay the miners fair wages but they
just can't. The contractors who
handle the coal don't care to pay
more to the men who dig it for them,
bect. =" not know how much
the railroads, which own and sublet
the mines, are going to charge For
hauling the coal to market. And
the poor railroads, which are long
ing to do the fair thing by the opera
tors and the miners, can't tell before
hand Just how much they must
charge for hauling because they
don't know how busy they are going
to be. So the only safe course is to
take it out of the miners; and this
explains why the latter are sure to
get the hot end of the poker every
time.

chain letter sent out by one Eugene
Smith Of Chicago. His scheme
should not receive any contributions
because the postal department. has
just made a ruling that the mails
must not be used for chain letter
schemes, and besides this is not a very
digniiied nor proper way to raise a

Train Goes Through Trestle, Injuring
Several Passengers.
Lake Charles, La, Aug 14.-The
Southern Pacific company suffered, a
complete wreck of passenger train No.
8 Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The
train was going at full speed across
the trestle over the Laeasine bayou
when the tender jumped the track
and broke loose from the engine. The
engine went on and the nine coaches
were thrown in every direction. Only
one car stayed on the track. The cars
were nearly all thrown into the mud
and water of the Lacasine bayou. The
trestle was completely demolished. On
board the train were $50 persons. and
the fact that only one boy was killed
is beyond explanation. Fred Chattin
was the boys name. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. L. Chattln, who
were also on the train. Mrs. Chattin,
who held a baby In her arms. was
seriously hurt on the head. The baby
was slightly hurt on the head and
Lucius Bryan, mail clerk, was badly
bruised. A relief train consisting OF
two coaches and a caboose went out
at $50 p. m. with doctors. The train
returned at II O'Clock with the body
of Fred Chattin and his mother. to-
gether with other passengers.
