BOTH ENGINE CREWS JUMPED

BEOWAWE, New. Oct. "A disas-
trous headend collision occurred last
night on the Salt Lake division of the

McBride's Government.

VANCOUVER, B. G., Oct 2.-The
provincial campaign which, though
short, has been one of the most in
teresting in the political history of
British Columbia, closed today, and
the people are looking forward eager
" to the election which takes place
tomorrow. A careful canvass Of the
situation leads to the conclusion that
the present iberal-conservative gov
ernment will probably be sustained
by small majority over its liberal OPP
ponents. The socialists and the labor
party may return five or six members
to parliament between them, leaving
a small working majority for the Nc
Bride conservative government. The
latter's railway policy. which is an i'm
portant issue of the campaign, is I'M
derstood to be distinctly favorable to
the Great Northern extension by way
of counterpoise to the Canadian Pa
cific quasi.monopoly.

HER BIRTH DAY.
AND EVE OF HER WEDDING DAY
Miss Ruth Bryan Six Times
THREE TODAY.
Purposeful Young Lady to Celebrate
Her Emancipation by Marrying
Without Her Parents Consent.

LINCOLN, Oct. 2.--This was
happy day for Miss Ruth Bryan. In
the first place 1t was her eighteenth
birthday, the day on which she be-
comes her own mistress. and natur-
ally day of rejoicing for any young
woman. But still more potent cause
contributed to the happiness of Miss,
Bryan. It was the eve Of her wedding
day, for tomorrow she is to become
the bride OF William Homer Leavitt,
an artist who came out from the east
and won the heart Of the fair western
girl while painting the portrait of her
father, Colonel Bryan.
The happiness Of Miss Bryan is not
lessened In looking forward to the
felicitous event of tomorrow, by con-
templating what might have been, for
as has become publicly known, both
Colonel Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were
at first opposed to their daughters
wedding. and, in fact, stoutly refused
to give their consent. The principal
cause Of their opposition was the
youth Of the bride-to-be But Miss
Bryan inherits the iirmness and
strength OF character possessed by
her father, and after vainly trying To
get her parents consent boldly an.
nounced that with or without 1t she
was determined to marry the man Of
her choice on the very day she be-
came her own mistress.
But the determination OF the young
woman was not TO be put to the su-
preme test. Both Colonel Bryan and
his wife relented, and after few
more opportunities from their daugh-
ter and from her fiance the parents
decided that they we're not at all OPP
posed TO the match and, In fact, would
gladly bestow the parental blessing
on the couple. This Is why Miss
Bryan Is SO happy today. Surrounded
by relatives and friends who have
gathered from far and near, she Is
celebrating her birthday In the midst
OF great preparations for the wedding
day. The ceremony is schcl8id toI
take place tomorrow noon at Fair
view, the home Of the Bryans. The
Rev. DIR. Swearingen, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church, Of which
Mr.. Bryan is member, will oflciate.
