.FALKNER PLEASED
At HUMES' OFFER
Delighted at Liberal Offer Made
for Confederate Home
IT WILL NOT INTERFERE
Since the last Report a Number of
Contributions Have Come In to the
Memorial Log Scheme at
Mountain Creek.

Montgomery, January 3.-(SpeciaI.)-
Colonel Falllner was asked today what
he thought of the offer of a home for
Confederate soldiers by Colonel Humes,
and expressed himself as delighted at the
offer having been made. He does not
think 1t interferes In any way with the
work at Mountain Creek, at which he is
the head. His view is that Colonel
Humes' offer is one of many gratifying
to its duty in the matter of caring for
the old soldiers who need aid, and that
with good men everywhere alive to the
need and the duty, it will not be a difficult
matter to get the state to take up the
work when the legislature meets.

TWO TRAINS WRECKED.

Saturday evening a heavy freight
train on the st. Paul road left this city
shortly after 900, followed shortly after
by a special, and the two met with a
rear end collision about nine miles east
of town. The first train had reached a
point near Cedar creek, where there Is
a heavy incline, and made run for the
hill, but became stalled The special
came along at about 10:l5, and was also
making great speed to get over the hill
There was heavy fog that night and
the trainmen of the special did not
notice the regular freight ahead of them
until il was too late to stop. The for
ward brakeman jumped. The engineer
reversed the engine and turned on the
sand and then followed the BRAKEMAN,
utthe fireman. whose name is Donovan
for some reason stuck TO the cab and
was severely injured. One of his arms
was broken 10 several places and the
flesh torn off so that ampUtstion was
necessary. When picked up he was IN
conscious, the latter resulting, It IS
thought, from a wound in the head. he
was Immediately taken TO the Sal-
road hospital at Tomah, and It is qusss-
ton whether be will recover The en-
CINE of the rear train, after striking the
other, passed through the caooose and
several box cars and into section of
flat cars loaded with logs. The engine,
while badly wrecked, was in such shape
that il was possible to bring it to Wau-
sau later, and it will be sent TO the re-
pair shops. The caboose and several

Like lamps in the wintry oiast, their
lights went out. Like autumn leaves
at touch of frost, they have been swept
to earth where they lie withered in I'M
numbered heaps. Yet there are things
worse than death. They gave up life

which just nations cherish for defend
ers. They shall not be forgotten. So
long as the white, budding May-days
come they will be remembered.
This flag has had every stain washed
white with the tears of women Each

will be of liberty. Progress will go on

power to exploit the work and operate

be crowded, congested aggregations
