THE Chicago 8. Alton "hummer" ran into
the engine of freight train that stood ON the
side. track at Prentice, thirteen miles north OF
Jacksonville, ILL.,, Wednesday morning. The
freight train had pulled onto the siding to al
low the passenger train to pass, and by some
means, the exhaust in the cylinders forced the
freight engine ahead and upon the main track
lust before the passenger traip came. The
engineer and fireman Of the freight engine man
aged to save themselves by jumping, but the
passenger crew had no chance to save them
selves, and, as a result, both engineer and firt-
man were instantly killed. Five passengers
were seriously injured and others slightly hurt.
Four tranps, who were riding under the tender
were killed. The wreck was really caused by
over-work of the trainmen, who had been on
duty thrty-six hours continuously. When the
railroads pass into the hands of Uncle Sam,
there will be more tracks and more men to rum
the trains, and there will be no more such

MILLIONAIRE IN LABOR PROCESSION.

w. S. Stratton, Of Colorado Springs, multi
millionaire mine-owner, will march with the
workmen in the Labor.day parade, September
I'D. He joined the carpenters. union about
three months ago. A little more than ten years
ago, Mr.. Stratton was poor capenter in Fl.
Scott. We have heard people down there say
that he was "poorer than Jobs turkey-he
hadn't even fence to lean against" But, he
went to Colorado, engaged in mining. struck it
rich, and became "bonanza king" His good
luck didn't turn his head, however, but his
sympathies remained with the laboring men,
It is said that he never had strike or any
other labor troubles in his mines, because he
always treats his men as human beings

of the party, got from small satchel concealed
under his shirt bundle of letters, which he
handed to Lieut.. Taylor, saving, Il have been
having very hard time, and wish to wash my
hands of the whole business!'
'These letters were addressed to Baldomero
Aguinaldo, Simeon Tecson, Urbano Lacuna,
Pablo Tecson and Teodorco Saudico, wherever
found.
ABOUT II O'Clock p. m, February 10th,
Lieut.. Taylor sent to Gen. Funston all the let
tiers in question, the information that made
possible the conception and execution of Gen.
Funiton's plans.
''When it is considered that single false
step GU the part of Lieut.. Tayl or would have
spoiled everything, his work appears more CON-
mendabe than ever. Indeed, the tact, skill,
judgment and knowledge of the native charac-
ter displayed by this young officer would do
credit to an officer of greater years and expert
ence, and the Twenty fourth U. S. infantry,
regiment that has always done its duty in
quiet, modest, unostentatious manner, may we'll
feel pioud OF Lieut.. Taylor"
So, after all, the story that Funston received
credit and promotion to which he was not en-
titled is true. He swan the Bagbag by proxy,
and he Captured" Aguinaldo after somebody
else had set the trap. The fact is, Fred Fun

IT is stated that the cotton-mill owners at
Fall River, Mass, have reconstructed their threat
to cut wages fifteen per cent, and have decided
not to make the cut. The employees threatened
to strike. The reason given by the mill.owners
for their decision to cut wages was that it was
necessary in order to compete with Southern
mills, where child labor is employed at mere
pittance Children only seven years OF age are
forced to work all night in the Southern mills,
at few cents per night Under Socialism,
nothing of this kind would happen. Not only
would children not work in the factories. but
their fathers would work shorter days, at better
wages and have plenty of time to devote to
their homes and their families. The children
would be comfortably housed and clothed and
sent to school until they arrived at an age when
work would benefit them, and not stunt their
bodies and cause them to grow old before their
time.

A Heart-to-Heart Talk About T. Il. A.

We now have the record showing those
who have taken out their renewal cards
in such shape as to know where we are,
and are congratulating ourselves on

amongst all our members, mainly because
we all realize the stability and value Of

We note, however that a few have put

that which they should have done yester
day or several days ago. They never
mean TO allow their memberhip to
lapse. yot are taking chances on it so
doing by NO. sending their dues.

Sentiment In nnrincs..

The following extracts from an address
by ex-Natlonal Chaplain Homer T. VIII
son at the National convention at New
orlclns can not be impressed too strong
iy on the minds OF travelling men. It Is
able, logical ANA strictly to the point:
Sentiment In business, gentlemen. Is
one of tho essentials OF American prog
ress. On It depends the future OF me
Republic Sentiment, slrs, Is the noblast
principle that binds us together a. a
great traternal union. Friendship Srt
sentiment Why, gentlemen. the paltry
sum that we pay as our dues or sssess-
ment in the Travellers Protective Assoc
citation is not worth considering, That Is
not the cause that brings these men to-
gether from time to time in National a.,
sembly. Tint is not the reason; there
ID something back of all this that is
worth more than S. or $40 or $4,000 IL Is
the hrotherlv sentiment that exists and
which binds MS together with ties Of i'm
mortal friendship. You. fathers OF this
order builded better than You knew. In
laying the bedrock OF this organization
you have bullded a foundation on which
we stand as 4 united brotherhood. Sec
tlonallsm is never known; party shirt
i Is forever gone; division in religious
sentiment Is passed for on the foundation
OF the 7 7, a. We stand as a united
brotherhood that knows no sectional
| character; knows no difference In relIe-
ion, but Is one, all one"
