A DOCTORS S BANQUET.
500 Friends as Quests.

When DR.. N. s Davis, Dean Emeritus
of the Northwestern university, reached
his sOth birthday the event was cele-
brated with a banquet at the Audi
torium hotel. Chicago. with 500 invited
guests. As most of his long life has been
spent studying health, DR. Davis is an
authority on the subject. In one of his
recently published articles he says:
THE almost constant sense of weaFi-
ness impels many workers to resort to
the use of strong tea and coffee. the

BOY CAUSES A WRECK.
Telegraph Messenger Threw
Wrong Train Signal.

Cumberland Nd, Jan. 16.-The east
bound express leaving here at APO this
morning near the east end of the yard,
struck two freight engines on the main
track, killing Engineer Sims and Fire
men Moran and Sneering of the passen-
ger train and Engineer Butter, of one
OF the freight engines None of the
passengers was injured. Investiga ton
OF the cause of the accident shows that
a messenger boy who was in the tele-
graph office threw the signal without
the knowledge of the operator, giving
the passenger train clear track, when
it should have been blocked
The wreck was due to the displaying
OF false signal, giving a clear track
Tor eastbound passenger train No. 10,
when IN the next block ahead there was
standing on the track a cabOose and two
engines. The passenger train was
drawn by two engines and these crash
which ObstFucted the track. Luckily the
train had not attained Its full speed and
was only moving at the rate of about 20
miles an hour when the collision came.
The postal car of the train was derailed
but the passenger coaches did not leave
the track and the occupants escaped in
jury.
It is charged that a messenger boy
named Turner. who was in the block
tower when No. 10 came along and
hearing the engineers whistle for clear
tracks, pulled a lever giving him a clear
signal. The operator had it is explain =
ed. previously set the signal at danger.
While his attention was being devoted
to communication With the succeeding
block station, the boy, II is alleged, pull-
ed the lever that gave the on coming
train the signal thar it mad clear track
and the operator was not aware of
what was done until the crash came.

Although the prisoners of Oklahoma
