The Schubert Company,

The program rendered by the Schu-
bert Company is entirely devoid OF waits
Pleasing the people is trade with this
famous organization, and they know
tiresome waits are not part OF any en-
joyable program. Although their pro-
gram is bright and entertaining and
contains great deal Of pure fun, it is
50 refined in character and the laughs
so wholesome, that it is endorsed and
patronized BY the most select people
everywhere. Hear them at Larson ;

chaotic pile the voices OF the injured men
cried out with pain above the kissing
steam. Those who had been but slightly
injured were at first bewildered, but
soon came to realization of the awful
catastrophy. Alfred Schanno, fireman
on the second engine with Engineer
Burke, was the first to gather his senses.
He was slightly injured about the head,
but how he got out with his life he does
not know. He hurried to the station
and gave the alarm. The crew Of the
switch engine at this place was hurried
out and by . a. IN. all the wounded had
been taken out Of tie wreckage and
brought to the hospital.
RECOVERY or DEAD, RESCUE or WOUNDED.
Engineer Cooper and Fireman Canton
wine of the first engine Of the east bound
train were instantly killed at their post.
They were mangled almost bevond rec
ignition. Conductor Chase was on the
engine and how he got out is a miracle
He was picked up on the side OF the
bank unconscious and bleeding from
cuts about the head. John j. Peters,
the front brakeman, was on the second
engine. He was thrown out of the cab
when the shock came and alighted on
his head on the ground. A box ear was
thrown over him, one end resting on the
engine and the other on the ground.
His right arm was pinioned down by a
piece of car timber and crushed Ampu-
tation of the injured member was neces-
sary and owing to the great loss OF blood
ton than any of the others. Engineer
Burkean Fireman Schanno of the second
engine of the east bound train were
thrown ont OF the cab and sustained
slight injuries. Engineer Smith and his
fireman of the west bound train both
escaped with slight bruises and cuts.
b. B. Stodd, the front brakeman OF the
west bound train, was caught in the
mass Of cars. His right leg was broken
in two places and badly crushed He
was also hurt internally. Matthew OAR
cey, brakeman on the west bound train,
was burned and scalded about the face
and hands. Budd Anderson, the con
ductor of the west bound train, was in
the caboose at the time and was badly
shocked
Conductor Chase was seen at the hos
pital by HERALD reporter. lie could
not for time talk coherently. The
trial he had gone through stunned him

Tor awhile, but after Il few hours sleep
he became rational and could talk we'll
He said: "When we came to Wenas
Engineer Cooper looked out and said,
that's 1902, we're all right, and he
pulled the throttle and let her 90. Train
No. 164 signaled us the way was clear
and We did not stop suppose they
meant the way for them was clear.
Anyhow, we came on at 3O-mie gait,
and when the collision came | felt my
self going through the cab That is all
| remember till came to myself in bed
here. Who's to blame, | don't know
We had not been notified that extra l64
was on the siding. If we had, no doubt
we would have stopped there and avert
ed the collision
CLEARING AWAY THE WRECK.
The wrecking trains were put to work
as soon as possible to clear up the tracks
and by midnight Monday the first train
passed over the road. Superintendent
Gilbert of this division arrived here
Monday and took charge of the work of
removing the wreckage An investiga-
ton will be made to place the blame
The operator on duty at this station on
Sunday night was Ingram b. Turmoil
He had sent ont the two west bound
freight trains with orders to pass second
81 at Wenas. He has always been con-
sidered a thoroughly reliable man and
his orders were according to the usual
form. The wires were torn down at the
scene Of the wreck, which necessitated
a temporary telegraph office at that
point. Mr.. Turnell took up table and
made wire connections. and remained on
duty till 9 a. m. Monday.
During Monday almost the whole pop
ulation OF the city visited the scene.
Farmers came in from miles around and
at 3 80 p. m. the school children were
dismissed to 90 up.
The remains Of the dead engineer were
brought to this city at noon and pre-
pared for burial by Undertaken J. G.
Liggett. They were shipped to Huron,
n. d., his home, this afternoon. He
leaves wife and two children.
The remains Of Fireman Cantonwine
We're recovered about $50 Monday ev-
ening, and were prepared for burial by
Undertaken liggett The deceased's
father came over from Walla Walla and
will ship the body home "Wednesday
morning for burial at that place.
Coroner Rosser made an official inves-
tigation this morning into the cause of
the death Of the two men, but he deemed
an inquest unnecessary, and issued per-
mits for the bodies to be shipped
The report that five hobos had been
killed in the wreck proved to be false
The hobos are still at large.
None OF the injured men at the hospi-
tai had died up to late hour tonight.

law is not intended nor is it competent
to deprive the House of that right.
If the legal methods provided in the
statutes fail as they appear to have
done in this case recourse must be had
to the constitution and in this matter
the House is law unto itself. If the
return of Mr.. Learned's papers has
left the House without a formal filed
notice of contest it is within the pro-
vince of the House, exercising its con
stitutional privilege to originate other
causes of action. The constitution
does not prescribe methods. 1t says
what shall be done. 1t says that the
members of the Legislature shall be
elected and imposes upon the Legis-
lature the duty giving the necessary
authority to establish the fact of such
election. That is the law stripped of
technicalities. Statute law nor the alb
sence of it does not impair that auth
ority or relieve the Assembly of the
performance of duty made mandatory
by the constitution.

The filbustering against the resOlu-
ton Introduced by Representative
Olmstead in the beginning of a con-
test over the SOuth's representation in
the House which will have to be fought
to finish sooner or later. The reso-
luton is innocent enough in itself. 1t
simply provides for an inquiry to dis
cover in what States and to what extent
the right to vote is denied to male citi-
zeDs of the United States, 81 years and
over and what proportion these dis
franchised votes bear to the whole
numoer of voters.
But the question, towards the deci-
sion of which Representative Ohm
stead's resolution is neither compli-
Gated nor obscure. 1t is simply
whether Congress, in making a new
apportionment of Representatives
among the States will act in accord
with the constitution of the United
States. 1t is not believed however,
that the present Congress is in a
mood to take up the question on the
broad principle of the right of fran
chise but will keep the franchise the
same as it is.

The grip is appearing in the cities
in the way almost indicating a panic,
and will of course be felt in the rural
districts. Fortunately it appears to be
of mild type. The men who fill ply
sician's prescriptions in New York,
agree unanimously in the decision that
the grip has become unusually preva-
lent in the city within the past few
weeks. They all say that there has
been an enormous increase in the sale
OF drugs which are prescribed by most
physicians in cases of influenza and
severe colds. The information CLEANED
by several of the druggists is to the
effect that while the grip is more prev.
alent now than it has been at any time
since 1891, it is generally of mildel
type than was observed ten years ago

The question of the overthrow of
Bryan and Organism is one that is
now agitating the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cleveland and the Gold Demo-
Gratis want to get back under tho broad
aegis of the old Democratic party.
Democrats are going to have some
trouble in ridding themselves of Bryan.
Bryan is an able man, with much mag
netic and mental force, said Sen
ator McComas, and he is certain al
ways to have following of some mag
nitude. Beyond all mere political be-
liefs, however, Bryan is a Socialist.
Anyone who has studied the growth
of Socialism in Europe must realize
that the day is not far distant when
Socialism will sweep through the Uni
ted States. When the day comes,
Bryan will be the great socialist lea
der. He will have followers from the
Republican as well as from the Demo
crai and Populist parties.

Yesterday was a big day in Dover
and people were there from all over
the State-the largest crowd, so the
older citizens said that had ever been
in Dover. Itwas Inauguration Day"
inducting john Hum, of Wyoming,
into the Office of Governor, as Repub-
lican, as likewise Philip L. Cannon,
of Bridgeville, as the first Lieutenant
Governor of Delaware. An additional
interest was also given the occasion by
the interest throughout the State in
the question of the selection of Uni
ted States Senators, no one however
getting majority because of lack
of concentration on the part of the Re-
publicans. The day was an unusually
fine one for the Inauguration, as if made
for the occasion, and the thousands of
people deported themselves in the best
manner. 1t will leave favorable i'm
preston on all who were privileged to
see and hear it, as also the very able
inaugural address of Gov. Hum.
