public institution in Fremont he was
very sure.
He read briefly from report OF the
work Of the Burlington. Iowa, library,
showing the Sonderful influence that
library has had on the community.
Mr.. Hammond said he appreciated
the humor of the situation presented by
lis representing the question OF cash in
the discussion, since the poverty OF
country editors is proverbial; yet he
supposed it was his right to tell others
what to do and how to do it. just as it
is the privilege and practice of others to
tell the editor how to conduct his paper.
He had, he said, written to librarians
of libraries in other cities OF the state to
learn how they bad procured their Ii
braries aud how they were maintained.
He had endeavored to learn il there
was a sustained interest in them. He
read letters covering interesting and
primary features OF library building
from librarians and secretaries at Ne
braska City, Beatrice, Plattsmouth and
Crete. These were all enthusiastic.
They all testified to the continued in
terest and benefit Of their libraries and
they made clear the steps that should
be taken to procure a library for Fre-
mont. The speaker said he was con-
servative. He thought fund of $500
might be raised to buy a library. When
this was done he believed the city coun-
ell could easily be induced to make a
levy for its support. A tax Of one mill
on the dollar may be raised. This
would yield about $500 a year, which
would meet current expenses and add
to the number OF books in small way.
He would have no building erected for
library purposes until the need Of it
was plain. He believed the fund named
could be raised and suggested how the
Womans club could organize to sue
cessfuly do it. The intelligent citizen
ship Of Fremont is surely in favor Of
such a worthy movement for the educa.
tion of the masses.
At the conclusion OF their remarks q
vote Of thanks was rendered the gen
tlemen for their addresses
The addresses we're followed by gen
eral discussion. Among those who
spoke were Mr.. J. W. Richards and
Prof. j. l.. Laird. both of whom we're
enthusiastic for library for the city.
Mrs. R. d. Kelly recited an appropriate
poem.
No formal action was taken at this
meeting for ,definite start toward a
library, but there was manifested q
favorable disposition that is likely to
soon lead to results.
The program OF music for the meet
d ing was very enjoyable. Miss Katharine
Richards sang solo. Mr. w. John.

the work OF the departments OF which
there are four, art, history. literature
aud music. The art study is devoted
chiefly to the sculpture, architecture
and paintings of France after the Re

the Italian masters, and the different
schools form another topic. The in
structive art game is also made OF fre-
quent use. The History department
has France for it's theme. The work is
carefully planned and begins with the
Feudal Syetem and includes the main
events in French History from 1876

has for it's leading topic modern litsrs-
ture, including book reviews and quota
tions from new books and poems, with
occasional gleanings from older writer's.
This course gives one afternoon to Ne

A TERRIBLE CRASH.
Passenger Train Runs Into a Freight,
With Fatal Results

Ottumwa, Ia, May Huntington
passenger train No. 3 yesterday, while
passing Thayer, small town Is miles
east of Creston, struck an engine at
tached to freight train which was en-
deavoring to get out of the way by
backing on the side track, and was de-
rallied, killing Engineer S. d. Brown
of Burlington and injuring 80 people.
All but the two rear cars of the pas
senger train left the rails and rolled
down a 20 foot embankment.
Thayer is situated in the bed of
deep ravine, through which the track
is laid. A heavy train in order to make
schedule time is compelled to use
steam down one hill to reach the top
of the other. Owing to the fact that
both tracks for distance are heavily
curved, neither engineer could see the
other train until within 200 feet of it,
The engineer of the freight train heard
the passenger train and made frantic
efforts to back the heavy train on the
side track. He succeeded in gettin 2
all but his engine to place of safety.
On came the passenger train at the
rate of 20 miles an hour. When within
AOO lCGJ Vi the punt VI COulSlOu, I-HSi
neer Brown saw the danger, threw the
air brake to the emergency notch, ap-
piled the sand and stuck TO his engine
in the grim endeavor to save the pre-
cious freight behind. The crew Of the
freight engine, making desperate e.
forts to avoid impending catastrophe
stayed with the engine until the last
moment, when they jumped and saved
themselves from instant death The
freight engine was thrown across
the track. The passenger engine was
hurled down the 20-foot embankment,
followed by the baggage car, express
car, day coach and three chair cars
the chair cars and day coach having a
large number of passengers, many from
this city. The agent telegraphed to
Ottumwa for a relief train and a spe-
cial with surgeons and nurses left for
the scene.

RIPPERS giving UP
Will Not Insist on Any More De-.
trOit Ripper Bills
WOULD HAVE TO USE FORCE
Senator Holmes Said a Club Would
Have to Be Used On Members II
Any More Ripper Bills Were Pre-
sented by Detroit.

Lansing, Mich, May S.-"No more
Detroit ripper legislation" is the slo-
gan of the terrified Wayne county del
egation adopted yesterday.
Gen. Henry M. Dufiield, Tom Naviu,
Alex. l. Mcleod, Rep. Hurst, Aid. Jake
Haarer and Senator A. l.. Holmes held
a secret meeting at one of the hotels
Tuesday noon and the expressed senti-
ment was against further ripper legis-
lation.
Senator Holmes, Mcmillan represen-
tative in the senate, said he believed
the legislature had become chilly on
the Detroit ripper legislation, and that
a club would have to be used to get
any more bills through, and this, if
resorted to, would leave bad impress
sion with the people.
Three hours later the republican
members of the Wayne delegation met
in star chamber session at the capitol
and executed the orders of the Detroit
special committee of g. o. p. rippers.
Those who attended the meeting
We're:
Gen. Henry M. Duffield, Tom Navin,
Alex l. Mcleod, Senators Earle, Muir
fin and Goodel, Reps. McFarlane,
Ames, Bland, Ferry, Hurst, Marks,
Baumann, Neal and Martindale.
Rep. Bland declared that il the
powers decided to push through any
more federal system ripper bills he
wanted the corporation counsel legis-
lated out of office. But generally the
Wayne members spoke in favor of
calling a halt on the ripper legislation.
On a viva voce vote all the members
except Senator Pop" Goodell so de
clared themselves. Goodell voted no.
So, it looks as though the rippers will
not try to make republican machines
of the fire, public lighting, water, cor.
poration counsels and receiver of
taxes departments.
Navin said last night: Members
of the Wayne delegation sounded
prominent members of the house and
senate and found there was a decided
sentiment against passing any more
Detroit ripper bills. They said they
wanted to pass the railroad tax and
other important bills and adjourn as
soon as possible. 1t is largely for this
reason that the plan to go ahead with
more Detroit bills has been aban-
doned. The Ames BILL abolishing off.
year municipal elections in Detroit
and extending the terms Of several OF
the city officers, will be called up in
the senate today and passed, after be-
ing amended.

MarshalI's Absentmindedness.

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed
In his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in a stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.
'My old marster," he asked, what
fer you don't back your horse"
That's true" said the judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv-
erer heartily, he felt in his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
"Never mind, old man." he said. Il
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger. but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes" said the landlord, 'he left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think Of that old gentleman
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said:
"He was gem'man, for sho', but
patting his forehead-"he didn't have
much in here" Worlds Work.

Prominent Politician Dead.

Port Huron, Mich, May IA tele.
gram was received here yesterday
morning stating that A. r. Avery, col
lector of customs at this port, had died
at Lakeland, Fla, Monday morning at
2:30 o'clock. The news causes a great
shock, as it had been announced that
he was improving in health, and would
arrive home some time this month.
Neuralgia of the heart was given as
the cause of death.
A. r. Avery was one of the most
prominent republican politicians of the
state, and had figured together with
his brother, Lincoln Avery, in every
political battle of past years.
