IT'S WORST WRECK
GREAT NORTHERN DISASTER AT
KALlSPELL, MONTANA.
Twsnty.slght Freight Cars Ran Down a Steep
Grade for Sixteen Miles and Crashed Into
the Rear Of a Passenger Train-ShOck Set
Fire to the wreckass. Consuming Many
Of the Dead and Living Victims.

Spokane, Sept. 3.-All reports show
that the wreck on the Great Northern
Railroad, 40 miles east of Kalispell,
Mont, was the worst in the roads his
tory, and one of the most agonizing
in the annals of American railroading.
Thirty-eight lives were lost and lS per-
sons were injured. Three of the in
jured will surely die, and the others
were seriously hurt.
BY strenuous and heroic effort 15 OF
the bodies were taken from the wreck
ed cars before the flames reached
them. All the other victims were Gre
mated, including the bodies of Super
intendent p. T. Downs and his son, T.
Kirk Downs.
There Is a severe grade near the
scene of the wreck. Two engines had
taken a train of 2S freight cars up this
grade and drawn off to take water
While doing this the 2S cars started
down the grade. The runaway train
dashed down the grade at frightful
speed and crashed into the rear Of
west-bound passenger No. 3 near the
siding at Nyack Superintendent
Downs private car was attached to the
passenger and next to it was day
coach filled with railroad laborers
from Duluth. AS the runaway train
sped by the switch it struck a caboose
and day coach on the siding, wrecked
them, and the fire started from the
oil lamps in the caboose. The point
where the wild train crashed into the
passenger was several hundred feet
away and 1t was two and a half hours
before the flames reached the main
wreck, Meanwhile frantic efforts were
made to take out the dead and injured
The wreck was piled high and wedged
into almost hopeless confusion, and in
spite of superhuman efforts the flames
burned their way to the wrecked cars
before the work was completed. ]. H.
Blair, colored cook in Mr.. Downs car,
was taken out alive but died in a few
minutes. 1t was impossible to get at

Revolution in Persia.

Cologne, Sept. "A dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from Teheran, dated
Auguest 81, says:
A widespread revolutionary move
ment is going on in Persia, fostered
by discomfort with the government on
account of the new loan negotiations
with Russia. The Grand Vizier is ac-
cused of selling the country and fail
ing to make reforms. Martial law has
been proclaimed in the capital and en-
virons. The agitation, it is said, pro
.ceeds from the encourage of the Shah,
who frequently finds threatening let
ters upon his writing table.

TO CLOSE BUTCHER SHOPS.
New York Butchers Will See That the Sunday
Law Is Strictly Enforced

New York, Sept. 3.-The butchers
of New York are determined that the
new state law prohibiting the sale or
delivery of meats Sunday shall be en-
forced. To this end an army of 2700
men, all opposed to Sunday labor and
all eager to aid in carrying out the
provisions of the law, will patrol the
city tomorrow. 1t will be the largest
army ever organized in any city for
such a purpose and will be under the
direction of the Benchman's Associa
tion of Retail Butchers, comprising &c.
900 men, employed in butcher shops
in this city. The butchers came to the
conclusion that the most effective
means they could adopt to compel the
stoppage of the sale and delivery Of
meat Sundays was to create legal
vigilance committee of their own. The
city has been divided into districts and
captains appointed in each.

Made a Mile a Minute.

The runaway tore down the hill at
lightning speed, rounding the most
sharp curves at a speed of 20 miles an
hour, where regular trains crawl along
With a roar it burst around the curve
and what is most remarkable jumped
a split switch, which would have
turned it to the sidetrack and
crashed into the passenger.
There was neither time nor
opportunity for escape. Mr.. Downs
car and that of the laborers was
smashed into kindling wood the occu-
pants of the private car meeting in
stant death. The debris and shingles
and lumber of freight burned like tin
der. The train crew was forced back
from Its work of rescue. One man
penetrated as far as the private car
where he said he saw the dead bodies
of Mr.. Downs and his son, and from
where he dragged the corpse of the
cook. In the laborers' car many of the
46 occupants were so penned in that
they could not be reached and burned
to death before the eyes of the spec.
tators. The fire was so fierce that the
rear sleeper could not be saved,
though it had not left the track. It's
occupants were hurried into forward
cars, which were pulled ahead out of
reach of the fire. The flames extend
ed to the brush alongside the track
and burned down the telegraph poles
A wire break followed, which, with a
storm, greatly retarded telegraphic
news of the wreck. J

west bound Rio Grande passenger
train at 11:18 this morning, Mother

of Denver, and Pullman Conductor
Whan were injured. The accident oc-
Cured at Lobato side track about 100
yards from the high bridge, five miles
east of Chama. Railroad men and
passengers alike are unable to explain
why the car turned over as the train
was slower than usual, the track in
good condition and there was no
breakage before the accident. The
car was dragged about IS feet.
Mother Batiste was sitting on the
left side and the car turned to the
right. She was thrown across the
aisle and half way through an open
window, her head and shoulders being
dragged between the side of the car
and the ties. She was dead before
any one reached her her head being
split open. Sister Mary Nora is hurt
internally and her injuries are quite
serious. Harley Mccoy was asleep
when the jar came. His arm slipped
through the window and his hand was
ground off at the wrist. Conductor
Whan had his left hip crushed, and
was also internally injured. w. d.
Mcdowell, state health inspector, was
aboard the train and cared for the in

Salad Eating Good Sense.

Even men are progressing gastronom-
ically. Scientific dietetics has at last
revealed to us the fact that the woman
who eats salad on hot day in July.
August or September Is displaying
sound gastronomic sense, says What to
Eat. The long haired dreamer in the
restaurant may have been nineteen diff
ferent kinds of a fool upon every other
proposition in life, but he knew what
to eat on a hot day. The human ami
NAL needs grass or its equivalent in
summer. With their oil the salads sup
|ply everything a man physically needs
in hot weather. All the civilized races
of the world are salad eaters, but Amer
leans eat less than do any other people.
1t Is not q sign Of mental decay or NOR
al degeneracy for man to eat salad; it
is gastronomic sense.

Mart Ryan.

Mart Ryan was in Denison yesterday,
and for u defeated candidate he looks
the happiest of any man we have seen.
He is justly proud of the run he made
against such great odds and points with
pride to the fact. that nearly the entire
republican ticket owes its election to
his friends in the eastern part of the
county. While of course Mart regrets
that he was not successful, it will be
difficult for the democrats to find any
sore spot on him. He is stalwart re-
publican, lovable man and we proph-
esy that his career is not ended, but
Just begun. He states that while he
was surprised at the strong showing
made by Bell in Denison and Union
and some other townships, still he does
not attach any blame to the republican
workers. He is convinced that they
were loyal to him and that they did all
in their power for his election. 1t will
be a source of regret now to number
of republicans that they gave compli-
mentary votes to Bell, but the milk is
split and nothing will be gained by cry
ing over it. We believe we voice Mr..
Ryan's statements when we say that he
wishes his friends to understand that
he was not the victim of any treachery
by the republican workers, that he
was we'll treated and had the hearty
support of all those who took an active
part in the campaign. The people of
Vail did themselves proud by the sup
port of their home candidate, and such
friendship will surely berewarded.

Paying a Creditor.

Like many another famous man both
before his time and since, Talleyrand
exhibited, at least in early life, great
reluctance to settling with his credit
ors. When he was appointed bishop of
Autun by Louis XNI., he considered
fine new coach to be necessary to the
proper maintenance Of the dignity of
that office. Accordingly coach was
ordered and delivered, but not paid for.
Some time after, as the newly appoint
ed bishop was about to enter his coach,
he noticed a strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days until at length Talley
rand, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well, my good man, who are you"
81 am your coachmaker, my lord"
replied the stranger.
"Ah," said Talleyrand, "you are my
coachmaker! And what do you want,
my coachmaker?"
II want to be paid, my lord"
"Ah, you are my coachmaker, and
you want to be paid? You shall be
! paid my coachmaker."
But when, my lord?"
"Hum," said Talleyrand, settling
himself comfortably among the cush-
ions Of his new coach and eying his
coachmaker severely, you are very
| inquisitiye"

ecutive committee consisting of j. P.
Conner, Carl F. Kuehnle, Sears Nc.
Henry, B. Y. Nicholson and F. W.
Meyers. MIR. McHenry acted as the
treasurer of the committee and has
vouchers for every cent expended,
vouchers which would prove to any
court or any jury that what
ever money was spent was expended
in strictly legitimate ways and for
honest and honorable purposes. The
Bulletin must be careful in it's charges
of corruption and bribery for there are
men on the committee who will not
allow it, even for partisan purposes or
to cover the sting of defeat, to question
their honor and integrity. So long as
the republican party stands for some.
thing the American people want they
will vote for it, so long as it is an en-
gine for good it will have the conf
derce Of the voters. The republican
party has nothing to fear but itself
either in the nation or in Crawford
county. So long as it maintains the
high standard it has set. so long as it
appeals to the best there is in men, 80
long as it is the party of progress, de-
feats should they come, would not hurt
it. What we wish to impress is that
republicans should not feel too elated
over a temporary victory. The real
hard work Of making republican votes
in Crawford county is still before US
and to succeed again we must begin
the campaign of 1902, not next fall, but
today
