to Extra Freight Owing to
Misplaced Switch.
DISASTER OCCURS AT NASHUA, N. H.
Two Killed and Two Injured-Af-
tempt to Wreck Trolley Car Near
Bowling Green, O.-Freight Wreck
in Pennsylvania in Which Four
Men Are Killed.

Nashua. n. H., Dec. 30.-A dense fog
and a misplaced switch in the north
ward of the Boston & Maine railroad
in this city Saturday caused the wreck
ing of the cannon ball express
bound from Montreal for Boston.
Two men were killed instantly and
about half dozen persons were in
jured. The dead: Edward Quimby,
Concord, engineer; j. E. Marshall,
Concord, fireman.
The injured: Frank Crowson, Bos-
ton, conductor of an extra freight,
bad scalp wounds; Robert Morrow,
Concord, newsboy, injuries to right
leg.
Several of the passengers of the
cannon BALI were bruised, but in no
case was it necessary to send any of
them to a hospital. The wreckage
caught fire, but the blaze was extin-
guished without further damage.
The express colided with an extra
freight, running from Concord to Bos-
ton The engine of the passenger
train struck the rear Of the freight,
as the latter had hauled onto a siding
to permit Of the passage of the ex-
press.
Attempt to Wreck Trolley Car.
Bowling Green, o., Dec. 30.-An at
tempt to wreck a car on the Toledo,
Bowling Green & Southern Electric
railroad was made near here early
Saturday morning. The car with 20
passengers ran into a pile of boards
placed on the track, where it runs
along a deep gully By good fortune
the car did not leave the track and a
calamity was thus averted. The car
was taken back to the barns and a
deputy sheriff and posse made two ar
rests of men suspected of the crime.
This is the second attempt of the
kind.
Fatal Wreck i'm Pennsylvania.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 30.-Just before
daybreak Friday morning an Ontario
& Western coal train of so cars, drawn
by 100-ton engine, ran away on the
hill between Preston Park and Star
light, wrecking the whole train and
killing four of the hands. The killed
are: Melvin Whiting, engineer;
Charles Willard, fireman.; Richard
Budd, head brakeman; Patrick Duffy,
rear brakeman. All lived in Carbon
dale.
Conductor Wrenn Smith and Flagman
w. r. Walsh, who were on the caboose,
jumped as the ears began to pile up
and, landing in deep snow banks, es-
capped with slight injuries. Edward
Fitzgerald, an 18-year-old boy, who
was stealing a ride on the tender. was
thrown into a snowbank and escaped
without a scratch. 1t is estimated that
the train was running 90 miles an
hour when the wreck occurred. The
terrific speed caused a fange of one
of the engine driving wheels to break
rounding a curve, and in few seconds
the engine was in an adjoining field
on it's side with half hundred broken
gondolas and 1900 tons of coal piled
around it. The big engine served as
wall on which the ears rammed them
selves to pieces. The body Of Engineer
Whiting is still in the wreckage.

Kentucky Tests Show Fruit Jelly Mnd>
Wholly OF Glue.
The General Assembly OF Kentucky
recently enacted a law providing for
the inspection of food products sold in
that state, and intrusted the work to
the agricultural experiment station.
The station submitted a report show
ing that fully 40 per cent of all sam
pies of food taken were adulterated.
Some of the adulterants used are in
furious to health; others have been
put in to cheaper articles of food. As
examples of the former, the inspectors
found so-called fruit jellies'' made
wholly Or in part of glue and artificial
coloring and flavoring matters. They
found salicylic acid, sometimes in
large quantities, in tomato catsups,
preserves and other food products
which were sold as pure, and formalde-
hyde and other preservatives in milk.
which perhaps in some cases was fed
to infants. The most striking example
Of all is in the case of essence of pep
permint and essence of cinnamon.
These extracts contained wood alcohol,
poisonous substance, as one of the in
gradients. In the preparation of these
essences mixture of wood alcohol
and common alcohol was used in place
OF common alcohol, presumably to
avoid the government tax on alcohol.
This condition of affairs is by no
means confined to Kentucky. Equally
fragrant instances of adulteration are
reported in the publications of other
stations engaged in the inspection Of
foods. and from many other sources.

FOURTH OF JULY
Plans Progressing Nicely. A Good
Old Fashioned Celebration
In Prospect.

The arrangements for Audubon's
monster Fourth of July celebration are
progressing very we'll. The different
committees are working with energy.
under direction of Mrs. b. S. Phelps,
president OF the Columbian club, to
make every feature a success. They
should be enthusiastically supported by
the citizens and business men. Audi
bon does not celebrate every year.
When it does it should make it hum
mer. The prospects are this will be
done.
The parade will be at $50. All want
to see that. 1t will contain the Audi
bon Cornet band, representatives from
the midway, a midway band, a company
Of Rough Riders, private turnouts and
floats representing business houses.
Several business houses have made ar
rangements to be represented in this
and the others should do so at once 1t
will be an advertisement that it will not
pay them to miss.
The program at the park will COM
mence at l0:45. Besides the address of
the day there will be music by the band
and by the grand chorus of thirtyfive
voices under charge of Mrs. Smith. In
the afternoon will be foot races, drill by
Rough Riders and other sports. The
gorgeous midway will open at 800 p. m
The fireworks will be splendid.
Come and stay all day.

the decisions of the umpires-which
seems to go in helping make up the
game. The proceeds of the game
amounting to about $3.50, went to the
newly organized band.
John :Jones and Leslie Walker did
the twirling and both were effective
Jones having shade the best of it, and
had better support throughout the
game. The first inning opened up with
the first nine at the bat and they did
nothing in the way of scoring, two dying
on bases. The High School boys then
cam to bat and after safe hit, a steal
and an error scored one run. In the
second the first team managed to get
two of their number across the pan with
the assistance of several errors at short,
and second. In the boys half they we're
retired in the one, two, three order.
With hit and few more costly errors
the first nine secured two more runs.
The boys in their half pulled in one
more tally on walk to first, teal and
some throwing that was not exa city
according to the rules of the game. In
the fourth the first nine retired without a
score. 1t looked like the boys were 60
ing to win the game in this inning with
one out and the bases full twice,-but
we're only able to score one man on
account of their inability to connect
with the ball. The scoring of the boys
ceased here being retired after that
without run although they had men
on bases in three innings. The first
nine captured onerun in the fifth, one
in the sixth and two in the ninth.
Thus ended the most exciting game
that has been played here this season as
neither team had met defeat. The hits
throughout the game were as scarce
as an umpire's friends and the errors
-"too numerous to mention"
The boys showed poor team work,
and were unable to handle the stick
while the first nine put up good field
ing game considering the number of
games they have played and did good
work at the bat
Following is the score by innings:
First Team 2 2O1 / 0 o 2-S
High School ------1 5000 0-3
Batteries Jones and Hayes; Walker
and McGinnis. Umpires Walter Della
hoyde and Frank Sampson. Time two

NASH PLACE
Block of Ninth and University to
be SO Named.

The following from the Iowa State
Register relates TO the father of j. A.
Nash, our townsman and honored ma y
or, and will be read with interestd may
| readers: by our
Park Commissioner W. b. Keffer Of.
fered a resolution at the park commits
sion meeting Monday naming the block
OF ground acquired year or two ago at
the corner OF Ninth street and Univer.
sity avenue. He will suggest that il be
named Nash Place. This is in honor Of
Rev John A. Nash, one OF the founders
OF Des Moines, a pioneer, man so thor
oughly without guile and SO completely
enwrapped and girded in honor that a
whole city esteemed him and loved him
| as friend.
Undoubtedly the commission will
adopt the suggestion and name the lit
tie park Nash Place. 1t is not large
enough for park and square" is not a
pleasant sounding word. Place fits the
the case. That it may be named
after DIR. Nash will please not
only North Des Moines, but greater Des
Moines.
DR.. Nash came here 10 1919. He was
a missionary. 1t was he who founded
the first college and was it's first presi-
dent. 1t was he who built up the First
Baptist church and conducted one OF
the first Sunday schools. 1t wac he to
whom more young men have looked for
education and help, encouragement and
succor than any other man ever identi-
fled with Des Moines life. He owned
land touching what will be known as
Nash place. He did his share OF the
labor OF love out OF whose travail came
Des Moines. 1t is fitting that his name
should live in history, and no better
monument than park, place of rest
and air, a spot in the heart of a city but
near to nature.
