PRAYED IN THE DEPOT.
Mormons Hold Religious Services at
the Pueblo Station.

Probably for the first time In its
history religious services were held
at the union depot waiting room, says
a dispatch from Pueblo, Colo. A par
ty OF twenty-five Mormons bound from
England to Utah were responsible.
They stopped in Pueblo to change
trains, going west on the Rio Grande
early this morning. The service was
led by tall. slender man with a dow
ing beard, who appeared to be lead
er OF the baud. His text was The
Lord Is My Shepherd and he used It
to emphasize the fact that, like the
sheep, they were being led 10 the
promised land In Utah. The services
ended with a short prayer and were
so quietly conducted that but few
OF the people in the depot knew what
was going on and supposed that they
were simply engaged in a discussion
The home OF the Mormons was In
northern England. where many more
converts have been secured.

A WEIRD STORY.
Santa Re Train Dispatcher Spins a
Strange Yarn.

My head, my head. head head
were the words which came over the
wire one night last winter and the
first which apprsed the Santa Fe dis
patcher at Wmslow, Arlz., that a trag-
edy mad occurred and that one OF the
operators down the line was a raving
maniac, says a dispatch from Denver.
W. X West, formerly dispatcher on
the Santa Fe at Winslow. came TO
Denver yesterday snd told one OF the
strangest stories in railroad history
to the dispatchers in the Union Pa
cinc Office last night.
This happened one night last win
ter said he. Passenger train No 2,
with eleven cars lett Albuquerque anu
came as far as Winslow, where the
train was split into two sections. The
first section pulled out all right and
the nrst thing I knew that anything
was wrong was when that message
came over the wire.
We had to use the ground wire
and send = man % Canyon Diablo,
where the wire was tied uD by the
crazy man. and we did not find out
what was the matter until the next
day While the wire was tied up
came rs near having wreck as
ever did in my life, and we just got
her clear in time.
ut seems that very few OF the pas
sengers knew the tram had been cut
| in two, and an old lady in the front
| section started back to see some
| friends, IL was dark, the way Il gets
/ In Arizona. and the old lady, thinking
she was stepping onto the platform OF
the next car. stepped of the train and
met ner death instantly.
she had daughter in the car she
| left and this daughter missed her and
started to search, with the result that
she soon found her mother was not on
| the train at all.
THE accident had happened just
west OF Canyon Diablo, and the opera
tor there was not.ned and told to
walk along the track and find the old
woman. He started out and the next
that was heard of him that message
was coming to me at Winslow.
"The dispatcher never regained his
reason and never could tell what had
happened to him. He died short time
later a raving maniac. The body OF
the woman was found the next morn.

FAR REACHING SIGNIFICANCE.

The results Of last weeks elections
are further reaching in their signih-
canoe, than appears on the surface
at first glance. The solid south can
be depended upon to stand by the
Democratic presidential nominee.
Missouri will roll up her old timem ma
jorities. In order to elect it Is abso-
lutely necessary to have New York,
with Maryland, Kentucky and posi-
bly, West Virginia. As New York
goes sogoes the presidency has been
demonstrated for many years. With
the splendid organization in she
greater New York City, as demon
strated by the magnificent victory
gained over the Republicans in COM
bination with nearly every known
ism, strengthened and reinforced by
the power of the city administration,
there is no good reason why the
Democrats should not carry that
state next year. And, as Secretary
OF State Sam Cook suggests, the Re
publicans will have to chloroiorm
Murphy toprevent it. With German

found In the Democratic column.
Kentucky has got back it's old time
msjorities and is sure TO come up
right on the Democratic side.
The outlook for the Democratic
party in the nation has not been
brighterfor many years, and with no
mistakes there is no reason why we
should not elect president next
year. knowing where our votes
have to come from; the next conven-
ton will, We hope, take a practical,
instead OF Q sentimental view OF the
situation and nominate a candidate
