the flames. Boys were. burned to
dea,h before their fathers eyes, while
thu latter stood helpless t. save them.
Men, so badly injured by the flying
pieces of iron that they could not
move, lay in the gully with the flames
rolling down upon them until they
persisted.
Nothing could be done to check the
flames, which began to die out about
midnight. A short distance west of
the iron bridge a line was established
beyond which no one was permitted to
pass, as one of the burning cars was
still thought to be in danger of ex-
ploding.
1t was about one o'clock in the
morning when Deputy Sheriff Oster-
bout called for volunteers to remove
the dead and injured. Three times
as many as were called for stepped
forward. and the grewsome work was
began. In short time IS bodies had
been recovered and laid beside the
track. Some of them were so badly
burned and distorted as to be scarcely
recognizable. Several bodies were
found in the ditch. The body of one
boy was found too close to the flames
to be approached, and in a short time
it was burned to ashes. It is believed
others were also incinerated. When
the last body had been rescued the
stretcher bearers formed procession
and started down the track toward
the ambulances and carriages. The
crowds fell back as they approached
and opened passageway for them.
The only sound that broke the still
ness while the head of the procession
filed past was an occasional sob or a
shuddering "Oh.'
The remains of the dead arrived in
the city about three o'clock, and were
taken to undertaking establishments
to be prepared for burial
A canvass of the city and adjoining
villages will be taken to ascertain the
names of missing persons. It will be
impossible to identify some of the
dead. and it is likely they will all be
buried together.

Travelling Libraries.
The state public library commission
has just issued its report for the years
1901 and 1902. The system of travelling
libraries was established in January,
1900, and, owing to the limited appro-
priation, $4,000 per year, the work
could not be pushed extensively, but
there has been a gradual increase. In
1902 there were $500 volumes in cir
culation, and in 1901, 6,125
During the year 1902 there were 1913
towns and cities which had travelling
libraries. OF these 1913 places, 70 were
rural communities and 60 villages of
less than 500 population, so the IL
brary commission has done the thing
it was principally created for-to sup
ply libraries to communities where a
public library is out of the question.
Although the travelling library sys-
tenn is now well established in the
state, it has made but a small begin
ming, in consideration of the demands
and needs of the state. At the close
OF 1902 there were 800 applications on
file, with but 215 libraries to fill these
demands, including those purchased
from the appropriation for 1923.

So Thought Preside Lincoln When

During the civil war Miss N, q
high spirited Virginia young lady
whose father, Confederate soldier,
had been taken prisoner by the Union
forces, was DESTROYS of obtaining a
pass which would enable her to visit
him. Francis r. Blair agreed to obtain
an audience with the president, but
warned his young and rather impulsive
friend to be prudent and not betray
her sympathy for the south. They
were ushered into the presence Of Mr..
Lincoln, and the object for which they
had come was stated. The tall, grave
man bent down to the little maiden
and, looking searchingly into her face,
said:
You are loyal, of courseT
Her bright eyes flashed. She hest
tated a moment, and then, with face
eloquent with emotion and honest as
his own, she replied
Eyes. loyal to the hearts core-to Vir-
giniap'
Mr.. Lincoln kept his intent gaze up
on her for moment longer and then
went to his desk, wrote a line or two
and handed her the paper. With
bow the interview terminated. When
they had left the room, Mr.. Blair began
to upbraid his young friend for her inn
petuosity.
Now you have done itw he said.
Didn't warn you to be very careful2
You have only yourself to blame"
Miss n. made no reply, but opened
the paper. 1t contained these words:
