Is the Result - St. Louis FLYER
Oitchtd by Broken Rail
AND ENTIRE TRAIN 1T IS REPORTED
Ran Into Corn Field, Killing
Many People.

indianapolis, Nov. 9s.-The. st.
Louis Aver on the Big Four. which
left Indianapolis this morning at
~ :05, is reported to be total wreck.
At go O'Clock this morning the
train struck broken rail, one-half
mile west of Avon and five and one
half miles west of here. At this point
the road runs along high fill. The
entire train, it is reported, plunged
down the fill and is now in corn
field, pile of ruins.
A message was received here from
Danville at 2:20 O'Clock this morning
asking for all possible medical aid,
and eight or ten physicians where
summoned. They, with superinten-
dent Van Winkle, of the Big Four,
left for the scene on a special train at
3 O'Clock
A telephone message from Danville
at 2 40 O'Clock stated that all ayaila-
BILE physicians from here had been
called to the wreck, and no word had
been received further than that the en-
tire train was in corn field at the
bottom of a steep embankment, and
there was no doubt great many were
injured, tt was not know there were
any dead or how many were injured.
In railroad circles at Danville the
belief was general that the loss. of life
must necessarily be heavy.
j The wrecked train left the union
station in this city for ST. Louis at
12 :05 O'Clock this morning. 1t con-
sisted of one sleeping car from Oleve-
land which came in over the Big
Four at about the same hour, another
sleeper from Cleveland which arrived
earlier in the night, four cars from
Cincinnati, two of which were COM
bination cars. The train was almost
filled with passengers when it left
here. The first word of the wreck
were received here from the trainmas-
ter at Mattoon, Ill. The Brightwood
wrecking train was ordered out and
two special cars were made up to fol-
low. These special cars contained
Superintendent Van Wrinkle, Of the
Big Four, and eight or ten physicians.
General Superintendent Van Wrinkle
said as soon as he reached the union
station
1t looks pretty bad to me. There
must be a good many hurt OF. they
would not want so many physicians. "
At O'Clock, as Superintendent Van
Winkle was boarding the tarin to
leave forv Avon, he received this mes
sage from Danville:
-Four sleepers derailed. Send
three sleepers to transfer passengers. -
Superintendent Van Wrinkle said
he thought from this the wreck was
not so bad as he feared at first At
3:40 the wrecking train arrived from
Brigbtwood and Immediately left for
the scene of the wreck.
General surgeon Ford of the Big
Fonr with corps of physicians, we're
on the train.

ment OF this house is In charge OF

ordinary ability. Miss Bussey has
an elegant display of street and
pattern hats and milady has an OPP
portunity to select from a most
beautiful array of designs in velvet,
beaver, mink, lace, etc. Possibly
she woHld select a number of them:
say, to begin with a snappy crea-
ton shown suggestive Of q walking
hat. An outing hat would be an
other selection OF castor felt, hav-
ing soft scarf of brown and fancy
quill. She requires dressy bat
and selects shaded coronation red
velvet, with shaded red velvet roses
and two cut jet daggers. Then there
are beautiful creations with pink
liberty satin loops at the back that
give a lovely toning shade. There
are myriads to select from. Moth
ing more elegant could be found
than a white hat with Irish crown
and peon velvet. The black picture
hats were dreams of loneliness.
This establishment was closed
from two to four O'Clock this after
noon on account of the funeral OF
Alex Sweat, former employees of
the house. During the afternoon
and after the house was opened at

OPENING DAY At THE LEADER
Beautiful Effects in Fall Ffillin.
merry TemptinsIy Displayed.

The millinery openings OF the
Leader have always been noted for
beauty and attractiveness, but there
has never been enc that was more
successful or that drew as large a
crowd of ladies as that which began
this morning. The openings at this
popular establishment, which is so
efficiently and gracefully presided
over by Miss Maj Porter, are al
ways looked forward to by the FASH
ionable public, as it is realized that
none but the latest fashions andmost
elegant creations in millinery will
be exhibited. The crisp autumn
morning brought many ladies down
town early, and all the day the par
lors of the Leader were thronged.
Everything within was arranged
with perfect taste, and the show
windows were beautiful with dis
play of hats and autumn flowers.
Quite a tempting display of the
newest and prettiest ideas of the
season were shown in great pro-
fusion. There were superb crea-
tions in French patterns, having an
irresistible touch of style about
them that mast meet the approval
of the most fastidious of customers.
The predominating color this sea
son is the new green, which en-
HANGED the beauty of the splendid
creations in headwear, bringing out
in the best manner possible the ex-
quislte blending of colors, and show
ing in everyway the handiwork of
the artists employed by Miss Por-
ter. In the elegant display the
mink, fur and beaver creations seem
a greater pleasure to those seeking
the finest of the season. There are
tooues and toque and turban combi-
nations. Orange shades, to the
deepest burnt tone, obtain in trim
mings, The hats are very large and
the large fiat crown would not sug-
gest becomingness, but each is
arranged with baudeau that raises
it from the head and is shaped by
the artistic designer to suit the in
dIvidual to perfection. A special
feature is the drapery at the back
of soft ribbons, ending with tassels,
scraps of chantilly, plumes Of yell

ferred garniture. There are pie
ture hats in black and perfect

Great Mr.. Lorine's joy a few days later

The news had been brought in by Hicks and
Billy" For week these ewes We're constant

sheep seemed To be- creatures of the rock. for
oftentimes they would suddenly appear on

passed over the mountains. and the next day
HICKS, in climbing up the rocks discovered a
eve, followed by white lamb The two
animals Were at dizzy height. and the hunter
had 10 crawl up the face Of the precipicc his
hands and knees to avoid detection. Hicks was
accompanied by Billy" the Indian who on
looking down became frightened and dizzy
that he almost fell to his death below An hour
and L half more of climbing brought the men
10 a ridge, where they separated. Finally
Hicks rose from his hiding frightened the eve
away and the two cornered the little lamb on
a shelf of rock, from which there was no
escape. when at last it bounded into "BilIy's'
arms it was faint from fright BY dint Of the
most careful handling the lamb reached the
camp safely. although its heart long huttered
from fear.

The attempts To catch other lambs We're

As result Of his experience Mr. Loring be-

North American Turnerbund has al
ways advocated freedom and the rights
Of the people, resolved that the Tag
satzung of the North American Turner
bund, in session at Davenport, Iowa,
declares against the continued restric-
ton of the freedom of the press by
executive officers, and directs the exec
utive committee to submit these reso-
lutions to President Roosevelt and
congress.
The debate was very bitter and the
disruption of the bund seemed threat
ened at times, the question of the dom
ination of the Socialists being the is
sue. The vote was by bunds, Wiscon-
sins being for and IL against. The
proposition was beaten.
The contest monopolized the atten-

vention was over when the issue was
settled. After considering various
questions of technical turning, the con
vention adjourned to meet in Pitts

MENTIONED FOR PRESIDENT

London, July 9.-Speaking at the
annual dinner of the Hardwicke so.
ciety in London last night, Don M.
Dickinson of Detroit, who was counsel
for the United States before the inter-
national high commission on the Beh-
ring sea claims in 1897, referred to
Ambassador Choate as possible can
didate for the presidency of the United
States. The company consisted of sew
eral members of the English bar.
Dickinson took Choate's place as
guest of honor. He prefaced his pro-
posal of toast to the English bench
by tribute to Choate. "Choate does
not belong" said Dickinson, ito nv
party or to my government; but it is
very near the hearts of the American
people that he shall go from the courts
Of st. James to the presidential chair
and wish he may go there"
Dickinsonl eloquently voiced the
sympathetic joy of the American peo-
pie at the certainty OF the recovery CT
the king. He compared President
Roosevelt amid enthusiastic cheers OF
those present, to Sir Philip Sydney,
"sans peur ct sans reproache."
