Swift and Axtello Ida Highwood's competi-
tors- Ihe former got poor start in the first
heat losing five lengths before reaching the furIong
pole But he trotted so fast from there to the wire
that the mare beat him only open length in
2oSl2. In the second heat Axtello brushed past
Ida Highwood the backstretch and carried her
or her feet He could not hold the lead. but by
forcing the mare to break he won the heat for
swift. the latter going to the front at the half
mile pole and leading easily to the wire in 212Iz
Swift was never headed in the third heat When
ia ttighwood tried to pass him in the home
stretch he bore from the pole carving her
half way across the wide track in plain violation
OF the rules of harness racing. Mr.. Smathers sud
not pass the outside. and made another effort to

Sunday afternoon with the hand of
corpse at the throttle of the en-
gine. The train left Buckeye, Tenn,

Fireman Matlock knew something
was wrong and stepped to the engi-
neer's side of the engine. He found
Young dead, and Immediately stopped
the train. There is wound on the

FIREMAN KILLED, ENGINEER INJURED.
Strange to Relate, None of the Pas

UnceremoniOus Shaking Up, the
Coaches of Each Train Renain-
ing ON the Track.

st. Louis, Jan. 1.-Two St. Louis
express trains on the Big Four rail-
road collided Friday night half a
mile east of Bethalto, Ill.,, while rum
ming rapidly, and both engines were
wrecked, killing one man and injuring
| two.
The southwestern limited express,
No. IL westbound, was travelling in
two sections, and the last section met
the Cincinnati express, No. SO, out of
St. Louis.
It's said that train dispatcher
forgot that No. II was in two Sec
tions, and wired a clear track for No.
36, but this matter has not been fully
investigated.
The wreck occurred at 9:45 o'clock.
Half mile east of Bethalto is bend
in the road and a heavy grade slop-
ing westward. The second section of
No. II, at the rate of about so miles
an hour, was coming down the grade.
Engineer Henry Hendricks supposed
that he had clear track, and was
making time where he had the chance.
Going around the curve on it's way
to Cincinnati was the express which
had left ST. Louis an hour and 20
minutes before. This train was rum
ming at full speed.
Several baggage and mail cars were
thrown into a ditch and piled up in
mass.
The two engines jumped high into
the air and fell to the earth shapeless
masses of twisted steel.
One of the mail cars caught fire, but
the uninjured members of the two
crews and some sections hands who
arrived put out the blaze.
The sleeping cars of the westbound
train, which did not leave the track,
were hauled to Litchfield by freight
engine, and were brought on to st.
Louis over the Wabash tracks.
Thomas Corrigan, clerk in charge
of one of the mail cars, was hurt in
ternally.
Engineer Hendricks, who lives at
Mattoon, ILL.,, received a severe scalp
wound and internal injuries. One of =
his ankles was broken.
His fireman, who was making his
first trip on the road, was crushed
under the wreck of the engines
The two injured men were taken to
St. Joseph's hospital in Alton. DR..
]. Thrailkill, of Bethalto, and DR.. G.
w. Hinchee, of Moro, attended the in
jured men at first. Not long after
ward special arrived from. Alton,
bearing Doctors T. Y. Yerkes, FL. r.
Lemen and Fisher to the scene of the
wreck.
Engineer King of the eastbound
train jumped when he saw that the
collision was inevitable. He was not
seriously injured.
The Wabash tracks were used after
the wreck for Big Four trains to get
around the obstruction.

EASILY EXPLAINED.
why There Was Such an Increase
in the Socialistic Vote at Re-
cent Election.

The republicans are looking for an
| explanation of the great increase in
the socialist vote at the recent election
The party of "stand-patters" in spe-
cial privileges and distributor of vested
wrongs need not look far for the ex-
planation. Henry Fawcett gave it
when he said:
''It has repeatedly shown that the
friends of revolutionary changes
derive their motive power from the
bigotted opponents of progress, and
from the stubborn upholders of unwise
laws and unjust privileges. 1t might
as well be supposed that the railway
engine would move if it were deprived
of steam, that wheat could grow
without soil, or that man could live
without food, as to imagine that rev.
olutionary propagandism could be
maintained if it were not kept alive
by the recollection of some wrong in
fiicted, and by the continuance of some
evil unredressed."
Not only will socialism continue to
increase rapidly, but it will soon be
the law of the land if effective meas
ures are not taken to curb the power
of the trusts. The people may do some
foolish things and jump in wrong di-
rections when they see danger ahead,
but they will not much longer stand
still while the trusts plunder them.
Possibly Herbert Spencer was right
when, in 1894, he said: "The movement
toward dissolution of existing social
forms and reorganization on socialis-
tic basis l believe to be irresistible"
He then prophesied "civil war, i'm
mense bloodshed, and eventually mill
tary despotism of the severest type"
