One Of the last bodies recovered
was that of William Bailey, who. had
been thrown 80 feet in the air and
held in place by two steel rails, which
had been pushed up between the loco
motive and the tender of the work
train.
The workmen had been laying rails
at different points along the track.
The injured were taken to the ca.

pitfalls we're i%mprovised. One caboose
was taken to Morton, while the other
was taken to fremont. The dead lie
on the bank, awaiting the arrival of the

Charges of Malice.

Omaha, Nov. 19.-The interest in
the indictment cases of United States
Senator Charles Dietrich and Post.
master Jacob Fisher of Hastings, Neb.,
alternated between Omaha and Wash
ington. Developments at both points
were equally interesting and CORE
spondence made public by the depart
ment of justice in Washington and by
District Attorney w. S. Summers in
Omaha threw considerable new light
on the whole affair.
The publicity given to this CORE
spondence caused considerable COM
ment at the federal building, but Dis
trict Attorney Summers expressed his
satisfaction with the action of the de-
partment Of justice. He expressed the
belief that the matter had been con-
siderably cleared so far as his Office
was concerned and relieved him of
charges made that he was prompted
by malice in bringing the matter of
postal Investigation to the attention of
the grand jury.

Federation Of Labor Adopts Resolution
in Miller Case.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 1.-the Amer
lean Federation of Labor disposed
summarily of the "open shop issue
as raised in the case of William A.
Miller, now employed in the govern
ment printing Office at Washington,
and the Miller case itself, by unani-
mously declaring in favor OF the union
shop in government as well as IN
private enterprises and by petitioning
President Roosevelt to re-examine the
evidence offered against Miller, and
if verified, to remove Miller.
Although the resolution adopted pre-
sented the federation's view on both
the "open shop" and the Miller case,
the issues are kept entirely distinct.
The denomination of the Miller case
is not requested because Miller is a
non-unionist, a circumstance formerly
urged, as a reason for his removal,
but because the federation Delleves
Miller is Totally unfit to be in charge
OF working people,"
Resolutions were adopted favoring
! the construction of the Panama canal
by citizens of the United States, urg.
ing that the Chinese exclusion act be
made to apply in the Philippines and
Hawaiian islands, and favoring wo
mems suffrage and the election OF
the president and of the United States
senators by a direct vote.
An unfavorable report on the resolu
tion that labor %unionists be obligated
to use only union label goods was
adopted.
A motion to hold the next conven
tion at st. Louis was referred to the

THIRTY-oNE PERSONS KILLED IN
RAILROAD WRECK.
ORDERS WERE NOT oBEYEO
Conductors Failure to Stop at Meet
ing Place Given as Cause
of Disaster.

Peoria, Ill. Nov. 19.-Thirty-one men
were killed and at least Is injured
today in a head-on collision between
a westbound freight train and a work
train on the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago & st. Louis railroad between
Mackinaw and fremont, Ill. The
bodies have been taken from the de-
bris, which is piled 80 feet high on
the tracks, a huge pile of broken tim
Der, twisted and distorted iron and
steel. The bodies are mangled so that
many are unrecognizable.
All the dead and most OF the injured
were members of the work train. The
crews on both locomotives jumped to
save their lives. The collision occur
red in a deep cut at the beginning OF
a sharp curve, neither train being Wis
ible to the crew of the other until they
were within so feet of each other.
The engineers set the brakes, sounded
the whistles and then leaped. The
ITNluS SCIuCh Will SuCu lOlCS CAI0l CAC
sound was heard for miles around.
A second after the collision the
boiler of the work train exploded,
throwing heavy iron bars and timbers
200 feet.
Alleged Cause of the Wreck.
Conductor J. D. Jude of Indianapolis,
who had charge of the freight train,
received orders at Urbana, it is said,
to wait at Mackinaw for the work
train. The freight train did not stop.
The engineer of the work train, George
Becker, had orders, it is said, to pass
the freight at Mackinaw, and was on
the way there. The work train was
about five minutes late and was run
ming at full speed in order to make
up time.
When about two miles from Ninert
and entering a cut, both engineers saw
the approaching trains, and realizing
that it was impossible to stop, they
threw on the emergency brakes,
whistled twice and then leaped from
their cabs. The collision was seen by
Russell Noonan, who FASTENED to q
nearby house and telephoned to Ire
mont.
Aid Arrives Quickly.
A special train with four physicians
was made up in a few minutes, and ir
less than half an hour was at the
wreck. At the same time another train
arrived from PeKin, bearing Superin
tendent C. H. Barnard of the Big Foul

A group Of reporters surrounded him,
and one of them said:
why don't you try to down ritual
ism, Mr.. Fillingham, with sermons
rather than with violence?"
The vicar smiled. Sermons" he
said, "have an effect always but too
often this effect is the opposite to one
to what the sermonizer intended"
How do you mean, sir?" the report

I'll illustrate to you what I mean,'
said the vicar, Il once had a parishion-

benefit preached one Sunday strong
sermon on the necessity Of charity, or
philanthropy-a sermon on the duty
and the joy of giving. The miser at
whom I gazed often seemed impressed.

Thomas B. Reeds story of the Kansas
dog that did tackle a cyclone. you

ily from the east moved into Kansas
and they didn't know much about cy-
clones. They had dog, fresh' in
nocent pup, bred in the effete ana
MINDLESS east One day a cyclone came
along. The folks scooted for the cy-
clone cellar, but the dog, being an east
ern product, didn't understand. He
hailed the advent of the cyclone with
Joyous barks and started off to tackle
it, The result was that when the cy-
clone did business with that dog, which
charged down upon it with open jaws,
the dog was blown plumb inside out.
It was a dickens of predicament for
the dog. After the cyclone passed
along and the old folks came out OF
the cellar they found the dog there,
picturesque, but Of no further value as
a dog. The farmer surveyed the dog
ruefully. He was good dog and ne
hated to lose him. Then the foolish
ness of the dog struck him, and he
said wrathfully: There, drat ye;

JAY COULD AND THE FIDDLER

Tale of a Town on the Missouri Pa.
cific That Missourians Believe:
&. There was one New York railway
magnate who won the gratitude Of the
people of my state, although we have
the reputation in Missouri Of being
anti -plutocratic," said one Of the COM
missioners of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, who was here on business
a few days ago, and whose business
was principally in the Wall street dis
trict. 1.-The magnate refer to was
the late Jay Gould.
THE construction Of the Missouri
Pacific. railroad from st. Louis to
Kansas City, following the close of the
civil war;, did more to help the state
than anything that ever occurred. The
completion of the road came at time
when the returned soldiers who were
farmers, as most Of them were, had no
outlet for what little they were able
to produce.
1.-The Missouri Pacific was built In a
part Of the state that had suffered
more than any other. The farmers
looked only for results. They be-
lieved that Jay Gould surveyed the
whole line himself, and some Of them
believed that he actually turned out
and bossed the gangs that did the
grading and laid the rails.
LAS some Of the old hunkers got over
their prejudice against railway mag
mates they began naming their favor
ite nag Jay Gould, and of course, 1t
followed after that that the name was
given to some Of the children.
occasionally an old town which was
only a few miles from the main line
had to give up the ghost for a new
town, but that didn't affect the people
in the country. While some Of the
old towns were actually wiped off the
map, new and better ones sprang up
along the line.
You can hear all sorts of stories
among the old settlers out there about
what Jay Gould did for the poor peo-
pie. Many of the stories were dreams,
but occasionally there was one found
ed on facts. One Of these l have never
seen in print:
"In one Of the new towns on the
line lived a blind fiddler with a re-
nlarkable voice. His wife was. also a
singer.
after the road was in operation the
blind fiddler and his wife went to the
station on the arrival of every day
train, and as they walked along the
platform the blind man fiddled and
sang. and his wife accompanied him
and passed the hat along by the open
windows of the cars. They soon be-
came quite noted to travellers along
the Missouri Pacific.
There was some rivalry between
that town and another one not far
away as to which should be the end
of a division at which a roundhouse
should be erected. The town where
the blind fiddler lived won the fight
and the story is that Jay Gould did
it, because he said, or is believed to
have said, the trains would stop there
longer on account of having to change
engines, and that would enable the
blind fiddler to make more money out
Of the passengers.
1T Is a fact that the blind fiddler
profited by the selection of his town
as the end Of the division, and he al
ways believed Mr.. Gould made the Sc
lection for, his benefit.
I'VE haven't built any monuments in
Missouri, but when the fever breaks
out one of the first will be in memory
Of Jay Gould."-New York Sun.
