Worse than that" replied the old
man.

that that's about as bad as it can

That's where you're wrong" re-

now you don't seem to be disposed to
do anything but spend money"

"Well, you might as well understand
that it isn't because l don't know how

The youth grew pale. There was a
threat behind this.

CANAL PACT SIGNED.
UNITED STATES GETS PANAMA
WAY BY TREATY.

CT TO foIice 1t Granted by Colombia
Signatures Are Affixed at Home Of
Secretary of State Hay.

Inc treaty between the United States
ana Colombia for the construction of the
tanama canal by the United States was
signed Thursday afternoon at the home
OF Secretary Hay in WASHINGTON. No
"DETAILS OF the signature of the treaty
were obtainable, but at the presidential
reception at the White House in the
evening the news that the treaty at last
was an accomplished fact was told and
later was confirmed authorize lively on in
curry In official quarters.
Fears had been entertained that Co
Iomb1a would not be willing to accede to
the wishes of the United States in the
canal matter and that recourse to the
Nlcaraguan canal project might be fore
ed on the government Of the United
states. But events have taken more
favorable turn and Colombia transmitted
instructions and authority to DR.. Herran,
It's representative in the United States,
that made possible a conclusion of the
long negotiations.
The principal obstacles for some time
to the conclusion of the treaty, it is I'M
derstood, was the price that the United
States was to pay in the way of annual
Aeulal Iof tne strip OF territory along
each side OF the canal right of way.
Some time ago there was a hitch over
the question of the extent to which con-
troll by the United States over this strip
OF land should go, Colombia objecting
OH the ground that the provisions re-
Quested in the treaty by the United
States would mean REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by Colombia over part of her
territory.
This matter, however, was amicably
adjusted, as was a difference as to the
length of the lease of the strip of land in
question, the final result being a prac-

DEATHS i.: TRAIN WRECKS.
Two Great Western Trains Plunge
from Track Within a Week.

y
Three persons were killed and twelve
or fifteen were injured in a wreck Of the
Chicago and Minneapolis limited train on
the Chicago Great Western Railroad at
South Freeport, Ill. The engine. bag
sleepers were dtchel. The baggage and
buffet cars caught fire and were destroy
ed. A corpse in the baggage car was
burned. Two chair cars broke loose and
ran back half a mile.
Baggageman Sneeve and number Of
passengers who were injured were TAX
Ell to hospital at Freeport, five miles
from the scene of the accident. The Hi
hols Central Railroad sent a relief train
ana took the unfortunate persons to the
hospital.
The train was running at a high rate
OF speed and struck defective switch.
The engine rolled on it's side and crushed
the engineer and fireman. Engineer
Sheridan was making his last run on this
train. He was 35 years old and is sur
yiyed by widow and two children.
The train left Chicago at 6:30 o'clock
Thursday evening and was fast train
to Minneapolis. The speed was about fif
~ miles an hour at the time Of the ac-
cldent and there was no warning of dan
ger. The engine and the two forward
cars rolled over on to their side. The
three Pullman cars left the track, aut
remained upright. Two chair cars that
were in the rear of the train broke loose
and ran back some distance, escaping
any danger.
The baggage car was soon in flames
and the illumination from the wreck was
seen at Freeport. The few available
persons about were soon at work remov
ing the injured. None of the passengers
was near enough to be affected by the
fire.
The train was not scheduled to stop at
South Freeport. A clear track is allot-
ted to the train and no thought was be-
ing given to possible danger. AS the
engine left the track it struck the cab
of freight engine which had taken the
siding to let the limited pass. Conduc-
tor Karr of the freight train was on his
engine and was badly scalded. No dam
age resulted to the engine that was hit.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-01-31

The track was torn up for q consider
able distance and traffic was delayed for
several hours. 1t was long after mid
night before the work of rescue was fin
ished and then attention was given to
removing the wreckage.
This is the second accident on the
Great Western within a week. The
other wreck occurred at st. Charles, ILL.,,
Sunday morning. The train, which was
the southwest Kansas City through pas
senger, passed st. Charles on time to
the minute. The next stop was at Syca-
more, twenty-five miles farther on, and
the track between the two towns is near
ly straight.
The agent heard the train as it gath
cred Roadway and remarked that it was
moving rather rapidly. The fireman,
John Bashore, declared that the train
was moving at the rate of forty-fve
miles an hour when it struck the broken
rail that caused the wreck.
The broken rail lay thirty feet east OF
a culvert about forty feet long. AS the
train struck the rail it leaped and swerv-
ed, and all four wheels struck the sleep
ers at once.
Leahy, clinging to the window frame
in his cab, pushed home the throttle and
applied the air. The momentum of the
train was so great, however, that it seem
ed not to slacken speed in the slightest
as it Numbered across the culvert on the
ties.
Three hundred feet beyond the culvert
although to the fireman it seemed that
everything happened simultaneously
the driving wheels swerved, the engine
driving its way through the frozen earth,
turned sideways and, with a crash that
shook the ground, rolled and plunged
down the steep embankment. Behind it,
the couplings holding them together, fol-
lowed the four cars filed with passen-
gers.
Engineer Leahy was killed and thir'
teen passengers injured.

In the course of the trial Of Col. Ar
thur Lynch, member of Parliament for

Lynch supported the Beers, but counsel
contended that his naturalization was IN
no way prompted by reasonable intent

poses. Subsequently the defendant ac-
lively supported the Boer cause III the
belief that he was a legally naturallzed
burgher.

Iicitor general Sir Edward Carson, NAM

army as a discontinued Irishman, there

serious act of treason" His naturallza-
tion. continued the solicitor general, was

Col. Lynch is an Australian by birth,
but an Irishman by nationality ana
choice. He is an author, an engineer, Il
journalist, a soldier, and an ardent pom
tician.
