Number Of Victims Not Vet Deter
n,ined-Railroad Mans Estimate.

Detroit, Nov. 29.-Those who have
been investigating the awful calamity
on the Wabash railroad near Seneca,
Mich, have found nothing to alter
the estimate of about 80 lives lost as
"a result Of the collision. Superintend-
ent George M. Burns of the division on
which the wreck occurred insists that
the estimates are too high. 81 do not
consider" said he, that the total
death list will exceed 90"
However. in support of the larger
estimate it is pointed out that there
are now IA passengers known to be
dead The bodies of eight of these
have been recovered and it is consid-
cred that the fragments Of other bod
les now in the morgue will account
for many more than the IL dead neces-
sary to make up Superintendent
Burns estimate of 20. In addition to
the comparatively few fragments re-
covered and sent to the morgue,
that many more pieces were discov-
cred which crumbled to powder while
they were being removed.
The Free Press says that the loss of
life was, in round numbers, 100 and
that che statements made by the Ital-
Ian immigrants on train No Is bear
out this claim. These immigrants say
That there were about 1875 of their ma
tionality on the train and that only
about % of them escaped.
Only one man was found who was
an eyewitness to the collision. A.
w. Ely. an old man 20 years of age,
residing at Seneca, stood at the depot
platform and saw No 13 go by. He
watched the train as she went down
the level track TO destruction. His
attention was arrested by g crash
Then a stream OF fame and smoke
shot 100 feet into the air. Ely rushed
to the wreck and was the first outsider
on the ground According to his state
ment the scene was one of awful hor
ror. He said:
"When I got there the Immigrant

A BOX OF BABY FOOD.
Started Quarrel in Which Police inter,
fered to Prevent a Duel.


fered to Prevent Duel.
The police stopped duel recently
by arresting one Of the principals and
seconds in an affair of honor that was
to have been fought in New Orleans.
The duello has almost died out in
Louisiana, and this affair seems to
have been the last Pickering blaze-up,
especially as it has tended to throw
ridicule at this mode Of settling dis
putes. a..1s
The difficulty which was to have
been settled with bloodshed, says the
N. Y. Sun, arose over box Of baby
food. Henry Pile, a young creole,
one of the principals to the dAeI, had
a sick child. Mrs. Felix O'Brien, who
is his niece by marriage, sent the child
some baby food. This Pile resented
as reflection on his ability to provide
the child with the food it needed. He
threw the box out into the street.
Mrs. O'Brien heard of this, became in
dignant and denounced Pile over the
telephone as a coward.
The use of the word coward among
Louisians crecles is considered the
greatest possible insult and good
cause for a duel. AS Pile could not
challenge Mrs. O'Brien, he called her
husband to account for the insulting
words, and O'Brien assumed respon-
si5ility for his wife's acts, accepted
the formal challenge sent him and
agreed to meet Mr. Pile at any place
designated. Messrs. Rivoire, Julian
May and James O'Brien were named
as seconds and a physician chosen and
a place on the Louisville & Nashville
railroad was selected for the duel
1t is understood that Mr.. O'Brien, the
seconds and the physician went to the
place of hostile meeting, but Pilieand
his seconds were arrested by the po-
lice and the duel was spoiled.

THE SHORTHAND HABIT.
Seems to Spoil One for Writing in the
Old Style.

Seems to Spoil One Tor Writing In the
Old Style.
81 am so accustomed to writing
horthand,7 said a New Orleans stem
ographer the other day, chat it is
'eally task for me to write longhand,
md when l do write longhand find
.hat the whole character Of my writ
ing is changed. 1t looks like the
handwriting of an entirely different
person when compared with my usual
way of tracing the characters before
[ began writing so much shorthand.
In my business all the writing | do is
originally in shorthand, and | tran
scribe my notes on the typewriter In
this way | rarely have occasion to
write longhand at all. OF course |
still have to resort to longhand when
| write my name, but even here find
that the characters, which are used in
spelling my name are unlike the char
acters used before l began my short
hand writing career. Between my
shorthand writing and the work | am
required to do on the typewriter | have
almost forgotten the art of longhand
writing, and in time believe will
have forgotten it altogether Indeed
this may be the fate Of many persons
who are forced to make their living
by taking things down in shorthand
and then transcribing them on the
machine. This reminds me of GU
ruious effect the change has had on
ne, and in illustration of the fact |
recall a little happening Of a few
weeks ago. l received a business let
Ter from a friend out in Louisiana,
and as it was personal matter ans
swered the leiteTih my own handwrit-
ing. A few days later / received de-
mandatory epistle from my friend.
lie said he did not want me to poke
my city fun at him, that he was a gen.
tlcman, and had addressed me on a
business matter. / was dumlounded
until ! got further enough along in
his letter to find that he was complain
ing about curves, lines and angles, as
he called them, in my letter, and I'M
derstood then the cause of all the
trouble. l had simply slipped, as it
were, in the hurry and had used
number of shorthand characters. L
explained to him how it all happened,
but | am afraid he is not inclined to
accept my statement, and the chances
are that have lost good friend, for
he said something about short Of
hand business But there is even a
greater difficulty confronting the
Stenographer if he is an unmarried
man. 1t is not exactly good form to
write to ones best girl on the type
writer, and yet one is in danger of
bringing about an arrangement by
allowing stenographic symbols to slip
in, and it would be my luck for one Of
these things to sprawlitself out on the
line at the climax, just as ] rounded
up an amorous peroration. The con-
sequences would be tragic The only
thing for the stenographer to do'in
this matter is to break the rule, and |

DISPENSATION ENDS IN WAR.
An OccuItist's Outline of His View of Future
Events and Fall OF the Latins.

Occult Truths Washington, D. c. (God.bug).
Just after election last November, Occult
Truths, on page 23I, said: "McKinley will
die in the midst of his term, and Roosevelt will
finish ont his term" A great future for Roose-
velt was described. To-day, while the funeral
is going on, the orators wonder at the myster
Gus dispensation SO called, while we see no
mystery in it all.
Tragedy moves the masses. Mckinley had
to die as the crownng item in the greatest de-
sire he hershed-compete unifcation of
North, South East and West. He told the
mayor of Richmond that was his highest hope.
We reveal necessity for that unity unparalleled
in history AS the massacre of John Brown
stirred every sluggish heart into life, and the
North unified itself into action, so the nation is
now to clasp hands over this, a divine tragedy,
first to put down anarchy, socialism, disloyalty,
and the carping writer or speaker who would
infame weak minds over imaginary states of
society, or prejudice the poor against the rich
and against our rulers. Through sorrow, thus
are we cemented, but for an astounding pur
pose McKinleys Southern trips, his fairness
with army and navy appointments for the
South, the modification of his protective policy,
and other events show how intutively he real
ized.hs mission. Death will complete what
life could not. The need therefor will soon
appear
We shall, this winter, decide to build the
Nicaragua canal without consent of the Latin
nations. We forbid their collecting the Span
sh bonds in uba. Our protective tariff ex
cludes their goods. In competition we outwit
them. In bloody war, we must defend our
selves against their immense ornaments.
Among them, every male citizen is trained
soldier. Victoria, on her death bed, pledged
King Edward and Emperor William never to
fight with Anglo Saxons. They never will.
1t is the five Latin peoples who, while Roose-
welt is still president, will land 900, 900 men on
our Florida coast Single-handed, with our
army and navy increased to five million men,
we must fight the world war which brings an
end to all war-tne era of peace foretold by
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-11-29

by Hebrew prophets. The to-be-greatest war
rior of all history is now at our head
All Latin socialists, anarchists, spies, ene-
mics of wealth and free government must now
be expelled. Only through national solidifca-
ton and an intenser patriotism can we win.
We do not realize our heritage or our destiny,
brt we must--out of McKinley's death. No
more will certain politician seek to array the
classes against each other, and preach pessimisrn
in order to exalt himself. The new president
will know no classes but, not candidate, will
be reelected by the unanimous electoral vote
This all sounds crazy, but listen.
Already, we have an army of 100, 900 lnen on
the f1msy pletext of fighting guinaldo. Our
large navy is being augmented, and why? The
ship subsidy bill will pass, ard furnish men
and ships required to defend our 5000 miles OF
coast against five European navies. Military
craze is IN the heads of all our boys. Even re-
ligious schools are drilling companies The re
ligious world feels that the end of a dispensa-
tion is very nigh, and that it is time for Old
Testament prophecies to be fulfilled, and they
are. Party politics are suderseded in New
York City. For the first time vice president
retains cabinet, policy! and methods of his
predecessor. Even the Nebraskan speaks
kindly of him. The era of domestic inharmony,
of caricaturng high officials, of slendering our
great men, died in Milburn House. 1t had to
sacrifice an innocent victim. Without the
shedding of blood there is no driving back (re-
misslon) of slns.
Now, we approach rapidly the annihilation
OF Latin ideas, including Latin Christianity
sunk in debasing duaism as its only anchor
Out of its blind assumption of good and evil as
eternal principles have arisen all the war,
crime, erroneous philosophy and dogma of the
dispensation now to close. What this means
is too great for narrow minds now to see In
1914, the idea of evil shall cease; Israel and
Judah shall rebuild Jerusalem, and universal
disarmament take place. An efete civilization
ends. 1t is the Lords will McKinley's sacri-
fee, on its divine side, is national blessing
and a necessary event. Otherwise, God is not
God.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GODDARD wants the
next Republican state convention to put pro-
hibition plank in its platform. He says it
would doubtless drive some people, who live in
the cities and towns, out of the party, but the
party would gain five votes in the country
where it would lose one in town. In other
words, principle cuts no ice in the matter; it is
simply question of votes. Mr.. GODDARD reck-
ons without his host, however. The farmers
of Kansas are not fools. They can see as far
into stone we'll as anybody, and hypocritical
pretense of an endorsement of prohibition won't
catch their votes.
