FATAL DISOBEDIENcE.
Conductors Neglect of Orders Causes Q
Wreck and the Loss of Eight Lives
on the Illinois Central

| Rockford, Ill, Dec. 16.-Failure on
ders is supposed to have been the
cause of a collision on the Illinois
Central railroad between Irene and
Perryville, early yesterday. The two
| trains were the east-bound passenger
| train No. and a through freight
from Chicago going west. As re-
suit eight persons are dead or miss
ing and eleven injured. The known
dead are:
Richard Ormsby, Chicago; engineer
of the passenger train.
James Reardon, Freeport; fireman
of passenger train.
Robert Thompson, Dubuque; Amer
lean Express messenger.
j. w. Funk, Chicago; brakeman
passenger train.
David Behan, Freeport; freight en-
gineer.
Edward Carey, Freeport; freight
fireman.
Missing and supposed to be dead:
NewsbOy on passenger train; name
unknown.
Section foreman from Irene; name
unknown.
The injured, so far as the names
could be ascertained, are as follows:
II. G. Wellman, Chicago; right arm
crushed off at elbow; taken to Rock
ford City hopsital; condition crit
ical.
d. r. Ahrendt, Chicago; cut and
bruised by broken glass.
j. H. Quinlan, passenger conductor;
cut and bruised, crushed about the
chest; taken to Rockford City hos
pital; condition critical.
w. B. Keefe, Sioux City, Ia; head
severely cut.
Frank Stadlemen, New Athens, ILL.,;
cuts about head and arms.
Thomas Hendricks, New Athens,
Ill; cut and bruised and hair
scOrched off.
Slightly cut: G. E. ShurtIeff, Ge-
nOa; c. NJ. Burch, Kankakee; NJ. f.
Franklin, Lake City, Ia; A. L. Boggs,
st. Louis; John Hussey, Indepen-
dence, Ia.
The trains met at a slight bend in
the track, both running at full
speed.
The smoker, express and baggage
cars were piled on the locomotives,
pinning in the occupants of the smok-
ing car. Only half a dozen occupants
of that car escaped. The others were
penned in, and if not killed were
roasted to death, and their bodies,
along with those of the engine crews.
were entirely consumed.
All efforts of the survivors to res
cue the victims were unavailing. The
flames drove them back at every
point. The temperature was 90 de-
grees below zero and an icy wind
blowing across the prairie, the point
where the wreck occurred being in
a shallow cut affording no protec-
tion. The injured were without hats
and wraps and suffered terribly.
By the united efforts of the sur
vivors the way car was pushed back
from the wreckage to escape the
flames and the wounded were placed
on the hunks inside.
Two hours elapsed before any relief
was at hand. Then an engine ar
rived from the east and pulled the
car to Irene, ten miles distant.
A relief train was started from
Rockford at 1870 a. M, having on
board Doctors S. r. CatIin, Henry
Richings, w. B. Helm and Agent f. w.
Brown. 1t arrived at the scene of the
wreck 20 minutes later. In the mean
time the injured who had been
brought back from Irene in the way
ear were transferred to the relief
train and brought to Rockford
All the injured are doing well ex-
cept H. G. Wellman, of Chicago, who
is in a critical condition.

g. Christmas air is
chill
and the frosty Christmas holly shines
and sparkles on the hill,
And the Christmas sleigh bells jingle,
and the Christmas laughter rings,
AS the last stray shoppers hurry, takin

And up yonder in the attic there's little

Where there's Christmas dreams adam
Gin through sleepy, curly head,
And it's Merry Christmas, Mary, once

'Tisnt silk. that little stockin', and it

And the darnS are pretty plenty round

And its color's kinder faded, and it's
sorter worn and old,
But it reelly is surprisin what lot of

And the little hand that hung it by the

Has a grip upon our heartstrinGs that is
mighty firm and strong:
So, old Sanity, don't forgit it, though it

That plain little worsted stocldn' hangin'

And the mortgage may hang heavy, and

And if. in amongst sunshine, there's

College Education and Marriage.

Professor L. L. Thorndyke of the
Teachers College, connected with Col
umbia College, has been discussing the
problem. now beginning to be an old
one. whether women who are college
graduates marry. and If so, at what
age they decide in favor of making the
momentous change. To arrive at some
solution of the problem he has been
studying the cata ogues of Vassar,
Smith, and Wellesley Colleges, as well
as of the coeducational institution at
Oberlin, and the result is SUNNI d up
in the conclusion that as time goes on
college women are less inclined to
marry. He says: 1T is absurd to
suppose that college women differ from
others in possessing superior attrac-
tiveness in mature years. and we are,
therefore, led to conclude that the col
lege graduate has been growing less
and less inclined to get married. or less
and less able, or both"

Price of Beef Scars.

The retail price of meats in Chicago
is higher than for years. says the
Tribune. The housewife, the restau-
rantkeeper, and the hotel proprietor
all are feeling the effects OF the
drought which extended over the coun-
try last summer. Scarcity of corn and
other feed for fattening stock is the
reason assigned for the increased price
of all meats. Within the last few
months beef has been advanced from
two to three cents pound, the heav-
lest increase in prices being on the fin
er grades and choice cuts. Although
those who can afford to buy the better
meats are bearing the bulk of the bur-

SCHOOLS.

Roosevelt VIII take care of his in
struction until he becomes old enough
to learn his b C's.
The children are accompanied to
school each morning by Henry Pinck-
ney, the colored man. who has as
signed to himself the President,
and on other occasions Mrs Roose-
welt makes up the guest list and
has some of the women with whom
she became acquainted in Washington
during her previous residences here.
These little home parties are altogeth-
er informal. When soldiers are there
old stories are rehearsed and old jokes
recracked. When the guests comprise
such men as r. w. Glider, books are
invariably the subject of conversation.
for the President is great reader and
keeps abreast of all the good current
literature.
One of the women who dined with
the Roosevelt's last week when jok-
ingly asked by man of her acquaint-
ance what kind of dinner she had,
and what they talked about, replied
I'VE had a good dinner of real food
and / found out what Mrs. Roosevelt
had noticed regarding the fall patterns
in the New York stores just before
she came to Washington"
The children do not join in these
dinners. They have their evening
meal served in the rooms that have
been fitted up as the nursery and the
old folks are unmolested after 6
o'clock except on special occasions.
Mrs. Rooseveit's Accomplishments.
Mrs. Roosevelt enjoys such evenings
as well as does her husband. She is
one of the most accomplished women
who has ever been mistress of the
white house. Besides being an eXcep-
tionally good conversationalist she is
an accomplished musician and takes a
great interest in literary matters. In
spite of the fact that she has a family
large enough to take up every moment
