serve Order.
A new departure in French duefs
mas been taken. In the famous fight
between an Italian maitre d'armes,
Sgnor PM, and NJ. Thomegeux, a
well-known Paris amateur, they first
set the fashion of a duel with gal
aery. In the duel between Prince de
Sagan and Able Hermant the pho
tographer first came on the scene.
But it was reserved for the sensa-
tional duel between NJ. Max Regis
and NJ. Labardesque to bring half a
dozen ladies on the scene, and to
have a score of police keeping order
outside the cycle track, where the
duel was fought, and many inside in
spccting the cards of the privileged
spectators.
The duel, however, was not pour
rire.' OF the half dozen encounters
recently seen it was the one in which
the two men meant business. and it
was with a sigh of relief that the
spectators saw the slight wound, in
inflicted by pure accident which put
an end to the encounter.

Injured in Two Collisions.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 16.-Two
persons were killed outright, one fa-
tally injured and several others were
less seriously injured in a head-end
collision on the Ohio River railroad at
Baden's Valley last evening. The
Ohio Valley express on the way from
Cincinnati to Pittsburg was run into
at full speed by loose engine south
bound and both engines were almost
demolished. The baggage car of
the Ohio Valley express was smashed
up considera bly,, but none of the
coaches was damaged and none of the
train left the track except the engine.
just what caused the accident cannot
be learned but it was some kind of
blunder in carrying out orders. The
dead are:
Engineer Al Courtrite. of the Ohio
Valley express, of Wheeling.
William Bothby, fireman, of Parker
burg.
William Day, of Parkersburg, en-
gineer of the loose engine, was IA
tally injured. Fireman Carter, of
the loose engine, was seriously in
iured, but is expected to recover. The
baggagemaster had his head cut by
falling baggage, but is not seriously
injured. Several of the passengers
were severely bruised and all were
severely shaken up.
Parsons, Kan, July 16.-A head-end
collision between two local freight
trains on the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas road near Wymark, I. T., killed
five men, and three others were prob
ably fatally injured. The dead:
Joe Morris, of Parsons.

The collision occurred on bridge
over the Arkansas river. There is a
sharp curve near the bridge and when
the engineers saw the danger the en-
gines were too close to each other to
be stopped. The two engines came
together in the middle of the bridge,
the bridge collapsed and both engines
fell into the river. The two trains
caught fire after the engines went
into the river and burned up the
bridge as well as the cars.

The following gentlemen were the sue
cessful contestants for the prize money
offered by the Union Oil and Narufac-
turing Company for the bast yield of
wheat from one acre fertiliZ-d with TIN"
products of the Union Oil and Manu-
featuring Company:
The first prize of S25 90 was won bv
Mr.. J. w. Cunningham, of Johesville
township, who harvested 40I bushels
from an acre. The second pr.Zh of
S15 90 went to l. Lvles BObp, of Cross
Keys, who got 500 bushels, and the Jhid
prize Of $40 90 was won by Mr. A B
Osborne, of Union, with 81 bushels.
This annual offer of this company of
fifty dollars prize money should be an
incentive to all our farmers to make a
try for it. One of the troubles with our
farmers is that they are slow To take ad-
vantage of the opportunities that lie in
their path. We are Informed 10y the

We are very sorry TO learn that our
estee,oed fciepd, Mr. NJ. b Lee, had
the misfortune to lose very fine
mule last Wednesday morning at Car
li'te. His son, in company with two
friends, drove down to Carlisle with a
double team to attend the Sunday
School Convention. Mr.. Lees mule
was put up and fed at night with the
other, and there was apparently
nothing the matter with it. 1t was
apparently all right next morning
when it was fed. Bnt when Mr.. Lee
went to hitch mp he found the mule
SICK, and with the assistance Of the
good people Of Carlisle did every.
thing in their power for it. Mr. Epps
tucker even telephoning over to
Chester for the veterinary surgeon to
come MT his (Mr. Tucker'S) expense
to attend the mule, but he was alb
sent. The mule died the next morn
ing. 1t vas valued at $llO, and was
severe blow to Mr., Lee. He has
our sympathy in his misfortune.

sincere thanks to tho kind gentleman

colored people ran one from Carlisle

some hard cash. The people like to
