FAST FREIGHT CRASHES INTO

o DYERsvlLLE.
FIRE ADDS HORROR TO the SCENE.
VICTIMS LYING HELPLESS uN-
DER DEBRIS ARE SLOWLY.
BURNED TO DEATH.

Waterloo, Iowa, Feb. 27.-At $3.50
last night occurred one Of the worst |
accidents in the history of the Chi
cago Great Western railroad in Iowa,
when through freight train, running
at speed of fifty miles an hour,
crashed into switch engine attached
to the rear of string of sixt ycattle
cars near Dyersville, small station a
short distance from Waterloo.
Seven persons are known to have
lost their lives, and it is yet impossi-
BILE to fully estimate the loss of life.
Several trainmen and travelling men
supposed to be aboard the trains are
reported missing and it is feared the
loss Of life will be much greater. Five
of the dead are known to be promi-
nent stockmen, presumed to be resi-
dents Of this section of Iowa. mas
much as the bodies were entirely con-
sumed in the flames, it will be impos-
sible to identify them for hours yet.
Thought Track Clear.
The accident occurred on what is
known as the Farley HILL" just out.
side the Dyersville station yards. A
switch engine was assisting the stock
train to clear the hill and was at
work on the main track, which was
believed to be clear. A through
freight running at terrific speed
rounded the curve just east of the
town, and before the engineer had an
opportunity to apply the air brakes
the two locomotives crashed together
hot r6 for
around. t
Instantly the mass of cars was
afire, and, above the kissing Of steam,
the cries of the imprisoned men in
the caboose could plainly be heard by
those who ran to the rescue. It was
beyond human power to render the
men assistance, however, and, like
rats in a trap, they slowly lost con-
seriousness and we're cremated by the
flames which swept all about them.
Killed on the instant.
The engine crew Of the through
freight were instantly killed. Their
bodies were found lying far from the
wreckage, blackened and disfigured..
The scene Immediately after the
collision was one of tremendous
brilliance and awe-inspiring destruc
ton. Nearly one hundred loaded
freight and cattle cars were blazing
and the sky for miles around was
lighted by the flames consuming
thousands of dollors' worth of prop
erty. Horses, COWS and other stock

stood in awe before the terrible con-
Migration. b; 55
Most Of the stock aboard the train,
the major portion Of which was very
valuable and was en- route for the
East, was destroyed, entailing great
loss. It is impossible to place the
blame for the disaster.

houses were destroyed by fire and over
300 people were made homeless on the
same day. Wiese's big sawmill and
planning mill at Fredrikstad was total

fire, destroying several estates and the
public building. All of the buildings

sWENssoN's LOSS kEENLYS FELT.
eethany's President Worker in
t8S II Many Fields, /,

fl by Inc QeaLn or Dr. Carl "A. SWenS-
son president and founder Of Bethany
college, Lndsborg, Kan, useful citi-
zen Is cut down in the full vigor of
mental and physical strength. The
loss will be keenly felt in Kansas, in
which state the school is one of the
great institutions. No less will the
loss be felt by all Swedish people, for
In DR.. Swensson was combined the
nobler qualities of a splendid race.
The work he accomplished in his
lifetime was marvellous, and one can
but wonder what he would have done
in a, larger field. In the southwest
where his people are comparatively
few his genius and capacity, for pro-
noting, established great denomina-
tional school. What would he have
done in the Northwest? In the little
town Of Lindsborg he presented the
great oratorios on a scale scarcely
ever attempted, even in the largest
cities. Life with him meant work and
the results were prodigious. Though
with mu1titudinous duties Of a col
lege president, he was liberal con-
tributor to the periodical press, a pro-
life author, active in scientific and
historical societies and always active
in politics.
DR.. Swensson enjoyed the friendship
Of President Roosevelt and other dis
tinguished men. He had been select
ed by President Francis of the Louis
lana Purchase exposition to offer the
invocation at the opening of the
worlds fair at st. Louis. Intense and
patriotic in his Americanism he was
no less loyal to Sweden, the home of
his ancestors, and always sought to
foster what was best in Swedish liter
AZURE, music and art. Blessed with
great gifts he realized the responsible
tiles imposed upon him and labored
necessarily with voice and pen for the
good of humanity. Untainted by sell
fishness he never sought anything for
himself, though his services to the
Republican party would have secured
for him high honors with rich emolu-
ments had he desired them. This
spirit of selfdenial was shown in 1900
when he was called to the presidency
Of Augustana college and theological
seminary, the largest Swedish intsitu-
ton in America. He pondered over
the matter for several days and then
announced that inasmuch as Bethany
college had no endowments he consid-
cred that his work there had only
been half completed.
DR.. Swensson's services to the ,Swe-
dish people were recognized by Oscar
II. in 1900, when he conferred on him
the honors of the Nordstjernan order,
Bishop X. H. G. Won Schede repre-
senting the king. This order was
founded in 174S and to be thus sig
nally distinguished pleased DR.. Swens-
son greatly.
