the Salvation army colony at Amity,
Colo, Is believed to be fatally injured.
Fifteen others were injured more or less
seriously.
The wrecked train was the east-bound
California No. 2, which left Kansas City
Wednesday evening at o'clock for Chi
cago. The train ran into an open switch,
striking steel water tank, and all save
the mail, express and day coaches were
wrecked. Consul Booth-Tucker and Col.
Holland were i'll one Of the Pullmans.
Dean Lake, the scene Of the wreck,
Is an isolated place and there was great
delay in taking care Of the injured and
getting them started for Marceline.
Mrs. BoothJTucker, who was on her
way home from visit to the farm col
ony Of the army at Amity, Colo, had
stopped in Kansas City few hours to
inspect the workingmen's hotel, q work
In which she was particularly interested.
She left for Chicago soon afterward, &C
companied by Col. Thomas Holland and
her secretary, Miss Dammess. She ex-
pected to meet her husband in Chicago
and was especially happy in returning
home after what she said had been a
very satisfactory trip.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who was Miss
Emma Booth, married Frederick Tucker

Of his own. He was born in India and
lived there several years after the mar
riage. He was commissioner Of the
army in India. Mr.. and Mrs. Booth
Tucker were appointed to command the
army in America in March, 1896, sue
ceeding Eva G. Booth, who had sup
planted her brother, Ballington Booth,
who had been removed by the general.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker was the second
daughter of Gen. William Booth and was
said to be the ablest of all the Booth
children. She had enthusiasm tempered
with good judgment and executive abil-
lty. 1t was these qualities which induc-
ed her father to send her to the United
States in 1896 to try to bring about har-

SAM PARKS GUILTY.
Jury Finds the New York Labor Boss
Extorted.

Extorted.
Samuel J. Parks, walking delegate Of
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union,
local No 2, of New York, was again con-
victed of extortion in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions Friday afternoon. It took
the jurymen just twelve minutes. in
which time they took two ballots, to
agree that Parks had extor:ed $500 from
the Tiffany Studios Co.. firm Of con-
tractors, under threat OF keeping them
from continuing work on buildings last
January.
1t was shown at the trial that Parks
had obtained the $500 as an imitation
fee when the housesmiths and bridge
men were on strike on three of the Tiff
fanny contracts in New York City. Parks
claimed that this money was n fine levied
by his labor union. Later the fact de-
veloped that Parks had been disloyal to
his union, inasmuch as he permitted the
Tiffany firm to employ non-union men on
jobs after having received the $500.
When Parks heard his doom pronounc-
ed all his former bravado left him; he
was hanging over the railing, his head
bowed with shame and grief. He was
the very picture of despair
The convicted walking delegate looked
about the court room for his followers,
but not one was on hand. While the
jury was out the court room had been
cleared and the doors were locked. Dlt
was feared that there might be dem
onstration. When the jurors filed out
of court and Parks was led back toward
the rear Of the court room there was o
wild rush in the outer hall. Parks
friends wanted to get into the court
room. He saw them at the door, de
halted as he reached the gate that leads
to the prisoners pen.
81 want to see the gang. want to
shake hands with the gang insisted
Parks. But Captain Wheelock OF the
court squad and the other officers push
ed Parks along. and a moment later the
door had closed behind him.

young women, dressed in bright colors
Tor the holiday, performed heroic work.
Enough the bodies were in several In.
stances horribly mangled. one completely
and one partly beheaded, the girls tyok
upon their laps the heads of the diving
and injured and soothed their sufferin %
as best they could until the surseons ar
rived. Their bloolssslned and grimy
garments were gloomy witnesses of their
heroism.
A general alarm was sounded and ey-
cry assistance the city could afford was
rushed to the wreck, which was three
miles from the business center. Surgeons
dashed up in automobiles fire wagons.
ambulances, express wagons, undertake
ers vehicles, private conveyances and
even delivery wagons were sent to carry
away the dead and injured While these
were being carried to the morgues and
hospitals the work of tearing away the
wreck and rescuing those pinned beneath
went on.
Big, muscular students cried aloud as
they stood over the bodies of their dead
friends and fellow workers or gazed help
less upon the sufferings of their college
mates writing in pain. To add to the
horror the wreckage caught fire, but the
flames were extinguished by the students
after hard fight. The condition of some
OF the dead was frightful. One body
was entirely beheaded. Others were ter
ribly mutilated in other ways.
The Purdue football team played
against the Chicago University eleven on
Marshall field a few weeks ago and
made a good showing against the Ma
rooms. They were to have played in In
dianapolis Saturday with the University
OF Indiana team, and the game was to
settle the State championship.
Purdue is a member of the "big nine"
college conference and the team, while
not counted in the race for the champion
ship of the West, is a contender for sec
ondary honors.
Purdue University's officials have an
nounced that the institution will engage
in no more football games this year.

AS a result of the report of Gen. Bris-
tow, who has been investigating the post
Office scandals, influential heads have
been dropping into the basket of late.
-Four men were dismissed from the gov
eminent service last week. They are:
Michael w. Louis of Ohio, chief of the
bureau of supplies, removed for extrava-
gance. wastefulness and favoritism; q.
3. Terry Of Indiana, clerk in the same
bureau, charged with making false afr
davits and attempting to obtain money
from clerks for promotion; Louis Kemp
ner of New York, superintendent of the
registry system, dismissed for incompe-

in the New York postoffice, for being one
of those that levied on clerks seeking pro-

Alaskan legislation will occupy the Sc
rious attention Of Congress this winter.
Hitherto little has been known of that
territory or its needs. Occasionally
few lobbyists representing certain inter-
ests would come to Washington and tell
conflicting stories, but for the most part
it has been neglected entirely. The SEN
ate committee, which went to Alaska
this summer brought back lot Of infor-
nation, and some pretty definite ideas
about legislation needed, and it is safe
to say that some kind Of an Alaskan bill
VIII be passed.

tact, as well as one Of nice Judgment.
She has seen more Of the world than
! most women in official society," has trav-
eled extensively, and knows much Of the
society Of two hemispheres. While she
is as democratic as her father and as
simple in her likes, preferring gentility
to pretension, she has a quiet dignity and
the will to assert it. The Cannon house
will be a hospitable home, with flavor
of western hospitality and democracy,
not unlike the home Of the Cannons in
Danville, where the social status of men
is not measured by money. 1t will at
the same time be the home of the man
who ranks next to the President in the
political power, and it will be so recog-
niZed.
Important reductions in the total pay
mAnts for pensions are not to be expect
cd for five years, according to Major
Thomas d. Yeager acting private secre-
tary to Commissioner Of Pensions Ware.
The Civil War pension roll, he says, Is
slowly diminishing, but the total
amounts paid will not be greatly lessen
ed for about FIVE years. This Is due to
the back pensions, which make up what
is lost by the deaths Of men already on
the rolls The commissioner estimates
that there are at present 100000 Union
soldiers who have not applied for PEN
sions, but these men are rapidly making
applications, and the amounts paid them
are sufficient to hold the pension figures
at about the same level 1t Is estimat-
ed that at the end of five years this "un-
known army Of men who have not ap-
piled for pensions will be about 10000
strong and at the end of ten years it
will cease to be an appreciate factor.
The end Of the decade should see rapid
decrease in total payments, unless new
legislation is adopted. The Grand Army
of the Republic has already adopted res
olutions calling for an extension Of the
pension system, and if Congress takes
favorable action on the resolution, it will
be hard to tell when the total amount
for Civil War pensions will decline to
any important extent.
So
President Roosevelt is now 45 years
old. Mr. Roosevelt received many re-
minders Of the event. From various
parts of the country came letters and
kilograms of congratulation. AT his
forty-fifth birthday President Roosevelt
finds himself in perfect health. He has
learned how to get through an enormous
amount Of work with the greatest posi-
BILE ease. During the first year of his
presidency he expended a good deal Of
unnecessary vitality upon small matters.
Members Of his cabinet warned him that
this government was too big machine
for any one man to attempt to deal with
all it's parts and details. For long time
the President insisted on giving his per-
sonal attention to routine matters. Now
he knows how to pass over adminlstra-
tive details which do not properly belong
to his office, and to refer them to his
subordinates in the various departments.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the youngest President
the country ever had, and consequently
the only one who ever celebrated his
forty fifth birthday in the White House.

and Russia sends to his court in the
chief city of Mongolia, Ourga, her most
accomplished diplomats. The other
three incarnations live in Tibet. the

When one of these divine men dies,

child in whom God will incarnate him

told the Bouriates that the car Is a
god. but there is no doubt that many
of the people believe this. although il

transferred from imperial body to i'm

that the Chinese emperor is an incar-

One frequently finds in Tibet AMI

gods whose soul only is divine, and
whose body is subjected to all the mis-

PICTURES IN THE scHO0LH0usE,

An innovation by the school board OF
lustration OF the character of the Mari
eta people and one which other coun
try school boards should pattern after
This township district allows each OF
the sub-distrcts $50 to be spent on inn
proving the separate schoolhouses. The
appropriation has no string tied to ii
and may be used as the suh-director
sees fit. The Marietta village school
expended its $50 allotment in papering
The interior and painting the woodwork
of the school building and purchasing
window shades and pictures. Conse-
quently the little schoolhouse at Mari
eta roads Is pleasant. comforta-
BILE and unique.
But other districts should not per-
nit it to continue unique. The school
is an annex to the family and the same
reasons why pictures and paper should
be hung on the walls of the home hold
good at the schoolhouse. Children live
out one third of their childhood and
youth there and Its appearance outside
and inside is fair index to the char
acter of the community. The bare and
barn-like schoolhouses o. the old time,
with their uncomfortable benches,
rusty cannon stoves and battered walls
belong in the backwoods. not in the
center of a wealthy Iowa school dis
trict. among cultivated Iowa farmers.
Without doubt the effect of the
aGornment of the Marietta schoolhouse
will be felt in school government and
In the home. Good clothes make for
good manners and the paper and pic
lures on the schoolhouse wall are GER
tain to breed politeness and careful
ness. 1t is hard to be rowdy in a pail
ace. It is natural in a pig pen. There
is an intangible value about the i'm
provement at Marietta that the $50
does not cover.
