pressure as the engineers deemed safe

pressure as the engineers deemed safe
and each machine was backed to it's end
of the line. The engineers took their
places in the cabs and at the signal
arranged each opened the throttle to
the limit and pushed his lever to the
full-speed mark and then leaped to the
ground. One locomotive attaired a
slightly greater momentum thai the
other engine. Consequently the point
of contact was not midway between
the terminals; but about 800 feet dis
tant.
It will be noted that when one
engine struck, none Of the wheels
were lifted from the rails. The
truck Of the left engine, how
ever, was forced above the track,
and the front part lifted foot or two.
The shock also broke one of the steam
pipes leading into the cab, which ac-
counts for a jet Of steam shown in the
picture. It will be noted that the cab
Of the. right engine was torn from its
fastenings by the blow, although the
other cab was uninjured. A curious
feature Of the collision was that after
the first impact, there appeared to be a
rebound, the engines then closing up
again and the right engine slowly for
cling the other backward. 4-: t'-.sE
The locomotives remained in motion
for about three minutes after the i'm
pact, the one on the left being driven
back nearly so feet from the point
where they came together. An exantina-

Wednesday in honor of the victory of
the football team by the score of II to
0, Harry Mitchell at the Scotland Wool
en- Mills, gave away over hundred
dozen carnations.
Announc ement was made in the
Journal that the flowers would be given
free to all who were enthusiastic over
the result Of the Minnesota N rthwest-
ern game and the fact that over thou
sand people would go out Of their way
to signify their interest by wearing
carnations is demonstration Of the
loyalty Of the Minneapolis public.
Another plan carried out by Mr..
Mitchell was the use made Of big bet
with local cigar man over the result OF
election. In that case announcement
was made Of the success Of the fifteen
dollar man in election results, and the
public was invited to smoke the cigars
he won. Over two thousand men called
at the store Of the Scotland Wooden
Mills to smoke up with Harry Mitchell.
1t is doubtful if any other tailor in
the Twin Cities could be made to be-
Heve that the progressive methods en-
ployed by Mr.. Mitchell could be so pro-
ductive of business. But when it is
remembered that there are over a hum
dred tailors on his payroll, kept busy
by the force Of advertising plus good
business methods, the success of the
Scotland Wooden Mills store cannot be
questioned.
The Scotland Wooden Mills store is
about to undertake the greatest winter
sale in it's history, made possible by
the bad year Of a New York importer
Of English materials.

ton showed that its smokestack was
torn away at the base and the front Of

tirely escaped thru this vent and the
pipe in the rear in FIVE minutes. In
both cases the pilots were demolished

kinds. The lantern standards, head

including hand rails, we're broken and
twisted beyond repair. The boiler Of
the right engine was also crushed in to
such an extent that the steam escaped.
Neither of the locomotives, however,
was derailed, although the trucks were
torn from their supports and the pis-
ton, rods and cylinders dismounted as
well. 80 =. -. - 49,. 49,
Although the actual speed Of the en-
gines at the time of contact cannot be
calculated, the force was such that an
iron bar weighing rs pounds, detached
from one Of the pilots, was thrown $50
feet to one side Of the track, and such
small pieces as bolts and nuts were
found as far away as 300 feet. When
the engines were started the whistle
valve Of each was opened. AS soon as
they met the shock shut off the whistle
Of the left engine, but that of the right
continued until steam had been ex-
hausted. -.."4.

Many do not understand the work Of

To give such an idea ! want to give you

Sunday schools with Is teachers aud
1874 scholars. visited and aided a number
other schools; visited124 families having
prayer aud reading the word in many
homes delivered 20 sermons and ad-
dresses and done personal work, leading
some to saving knowledge OF Christ. |
met many difficulties in organizing the
schools. The first one was In the
southern part OF the county. The
people did not want anything to do with
me at first. I visited the homes and
found that the place needed Sunday
school. Some objected to my organiz-
ing, saying it would not live, but l
organized it just the same, school Of
80 or 60 scholars. The people got
interested and raised S21 to put new
roof on the house. Since then l have
been back and preached there at the
old Red Lyon church about 10 days,
having 0 conversions.
Some times l visited homes and found
no bible there. l would leave them
one. One place where there we're about
20 children and could not get a place
for a Sunday school, and twice | went
there and talkeo to the childred IN open
air. Personal work is very important
part of the work. was going down to
Oil City one night on train and | sat
down beside a young woodsman. Turn
cd to him and asked him II he was a
christian. He said he was not, but his
mother was. said where is your
mother? He said "in Heaven" then
asked him, don't you want to meet her?
He said be did then asked him IL he
would become a christian by accepting
Jesus Christ as his Saviour. He said he
would BY that time we were at Oil
City and on streets Of that city we held
good our decision. want to say that
such work as the missionaries are doing
is greatly needed every where. Since
then have been in number of school
houses and neglected churches, preach
ing the gospel of glad tidings which
has been received with Joy.

Pensions.

It is probable that persons who
are entitled to draw pension from
the State, will get their money earlier
this year than they did last. It will
be necessary for the State to borrow
100000 to pay the pensions as ap.
propriated by the legislature this
year. A number of applications have
been turned down by the State
Board for various reasons, conse-
quently some will be disappointed.

An Accident.

A few weeks ago We called the at.
tention of the County Commission
ers to the unsafe condition of the
roadway over factory pond and
warned them that unless something
was soon done to make crossing safe
for animals ard pedestrians the
county might be called upon to de-
fend a suit for damages. A part, at
least, of our prediction has come to
pass. Last Wednesday afternoon
while engaged in hauling goods from
the depot to the Lexington Depart
ment Store, a horse belonging to
this company became frightened at
something and before it could be
brought under control, backed off
the upper edge of the brige carrying
wagon, driver and all with it into
the waters below. Fortunately the
wagon came upcoupled and the
horse swan with the two front
wheels to the bank, the driver man
aged to extricate himself from the de-
bris and managed to reach land more
frightened than hurt The body and
other parts of the wagon were re-
covered several days later. We do
not know whether or not damage
suit againt the county will follow.
