HORSE euckED.

A Cincinnati man visiting In Texas, on

SO severely injured that his life was de-

drugs given seriously injured his stom-

The bodies hauled out of the wreck
were taken to nearby farm houses,
which are filed with dead, and a large
number Of injured were taken to a
hospital at Peru, Ind.
Along the track, long lines of burned

they are will never be known. AT pres

sire Of the Kingdom.

London, Nov. 2S.-The marquis of
Lansdowne, secretary of state for for
eign affairs, speaking at Darlington last
night, referred to the extraordinary
keenness of the competition for the
worlds markets as occupying the first
place in questions of foreign policy.
Referring to the negotiations with the
United States, Lord ~Lansdowne said:
I'VE desire to maintain the most cor
dial relations with the United States,'
and he said he was sure that the recent
expressions OF Secretary of State Hay
and Joseph H. Choate, United States
ambassador to Great Britain, at the an
nual banquet of the chamber of COM
merce In New York, were reciprocated
on his side of the water.
Like brothers across the ocean,"
said Lord Lansdowne. we regard the
distinguished man who has succeeded to
the presidency Of the United States with
the friendliest predispositions."
With reference to the isthmian canal

yesterday signed an order bringing the
rural free delivery mai service into the
classified civil service. The order be-
came effective Immediately SO far as
the $50 clerks, special agents n route
inspectors Of that service are concerned,
but provides that until regulations are
formulated for the appointment Of rural
carriers such employees shall not be
treated as within the classified service.
These carriers number 5000 and are
steadily increasing. Vacancies other

appointments from eligible registers of
the commission. Rural carriers will not

ton. Appointments Of them will be
made from residents of the neighbor-
hood, wholly for fitness, and irrespective
Of political or personal considerations.
Transfer will not be allowed from the
position OF rural free delivery carrier to

voive upon the superintendent Of the
Indian training school located at the
agency, the agent may be made a CLASH
fed employe at the agency. The agent
will be subjected to tests Of fitness pre-
scribed by the secretary Of the interior
and the civil service commission. The
number Of Indian agencies has been
gradually reduced from fifty-seven in
1893 to forty-nine at the present time.
The intention is to retain in the ciassi-
fed service such agents as prove their
efficiency and ability.

Nikola Tesla has consented to make
a definite statement as to his system
of wireless telegraphy. He says he
has perfected the invention, or at least
brought it to practical commercial
basis; that the capital is pledged and
operations will begin in about eight
months. No paltry sixty, eighty or a
hundred miles will be the limit Of his
messages. He will send his commun-
ications across oceans and continents.
Hitherto Tesla's promises have been
somewhat greater than his perform
ances-from the practical non-scien-
tific standpoint-bu he is entitled to
credit for the wonders he has per-
formed and let us hope that he will be
able to put his marvellous wireless
telegraphy in operation eight months
hence as per agreement.

Iowa's Golden Opportunities.
(Des Moines Register

Here is another little pointer show
ing the great loss by the manufacture
of Iowa's raw materials into finished
products in other states:
Last week Omaha received 1,195
loads of live stock, of which Iowa con-
tributed 361 cars. Of the GOA loads OF
hogs 267 were from Iowa.
This is sufficient proof that nearly
one-third of all the live stock received
in Omaha the first week in the month
was shipped west from Iowa and then
shipped east thru Iowa to the markets
of the world. Nearly half of the car
loads of hogs received at Omaha that
week were shipped from Iowa, and
there were sufficient number of car
loads of hogs thus shipped from the
state to have kept at least two large
packing plants in operation. 1t is al
so true that during the same week
three or more times as many hogs
were shipped from Iowa to Chicago,
Kansas City, St. Joseph, and other
outside packing points as were ship
ped to Omaha-yet every one of those
points has to pay higher prices for
fuel, help, and other expenses than
are paid in central and southern Iowa.

world. The greatest and best region

An evidence that the Cuban is to
receive fair treatment at the hands
of the present administration is the
fact that an extra session of congress
will be called in his behalf as soon as
the constitution adopted by the con-
vention held in that island is receiv-
ed. The administration is now and
always has been disposed to be fair
and may be relied upon to do the best
thing for the Cuban that is possible

people who are of the opinion that the
island should be annexed to the Unit

that they will be given independence
with their big neighbor exercising a

KING EDWARDS KEYNOTE.

With pomp and ceremony BETTING
the occasion, King Edward VII open
ed parliament in person. The nod
ding plumes, the red and gilt liveries,
the prancing steeds, the gilded char
lot and the glimpse of royalty and no.
bility in broadcast array pleased the
populace and made the royal pro-
gress from Buckingham palace to
Westminster holiday show such as
even Britons are not likely to see
more than once in long lifetime.
After the pageant came the speech
from the throne and the minor tone
of sadness and anxiety in that deliy-
erance contrasted somewhat painfully
with that which had gone before.
There was note Of grief not alone in
the allusion to the death of King Ed
wards beloved queen mother, but in
the passages relating to the war in
South Africa and the famine in India.
There was no hint, tho, of leniency to-

them. His majesty admitted that the
war is still in progress and character
lied it as fruitless. He expressed
deep regret that armed resistance still
prevented his government from plac.
ing in effect institutions which should
secure to all white citizens equal
rights and to the native population
justice. Canada and Australia have
been called upon for more troops and
their response has been SO loyal and
generous that further reinforcements
will soon be on their way from those
colonies to the seat of war. In logic
al sequence comes an appeal for in
creased appropriations for the army
and navy.
The kings speech is chiefly inter-
esting in that it puts at rest all rum
ors to the effect that there would be
a marked change of policy in South
Africa upon his accession to the
throne.

1t would not be bad idea for Wap.
clio county to follow the example of
the city and institute a stone pile at
the county Jail. While county pris-

prisoners yet it would doubtless pay
the county and at the same time give
the prisoner who awaits either indict-
ment or trial, something to occupy his
attention and might work as induce
ment for him to keep out of trouble.
Other counties who have tried the
scheme find that it works well.

The growing popularity of American
products in these parts of the world
in which all the manufacturing and ex-
porting nations are making earnest
endeavors to extend their commerce
is illustrated by the figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics. showing
the exports by grand divisions and
countries in 1900 compared with 1890.
These figures are published in the
December number of the Monthly
Summary of Commerce and Finance,
and cover the calendar years from 1890
to 1900 They show that our exports
to Europe increased during that per-
iod from $6S20O0,O00 to 1,116,0OO, 600,
or GO per cent; to North America,
from $95 10000 to $19O,O0O,OOO, or 1OS
per cent; to South America, from $685.
100000 to $41,000,000, or less than 20
per cent; to Asia, from S22 100000 to
S5S,OO0,OO0, or 163 per cent; to Oceania
from $17, 100000 to s40,O0O,00O, or 1872
per cent. and to Africa, from $4,50O,-
600 to $23,O00,0OO, or 416 per cent. To
South America the growth has been
comparatively small, but to Asia,
Oceania and Africa the percentage of
growth, it will be observed, has been
phenomenally large, and in nearly
every instance the gain has been
greater than that of the other coun-
trines competing for that commerce.
