not inclined to criticlse the heads of

KATY is THE SUFFERER

A through NJ, X. & T. freight,
south bound, suffered a severe wreck
last evening about 5 O'Clock near the
cemetery, north Of town. A car, the
twenty-second from the engine, on
which was boiler, appears to have
broken down and against this nine
other cars were piled, only one Of
which could be pulled back upon the
rails. The contents Of the Others had
to he transferred and a track built
around the wreckage, and the road
was not opened until about noon to-
day.
A wrecking crew came down from
Parsons and within a few hours prob
ably two hundred men were at work.
Being through train it is hardly
likely there was any Vinita freight,
and certainly none Of the wrecked cars
contained any.
There were three cars Of flour, one
Of chops, one Of bamboo for making
wicker furniture, and one or more of
merchandise.
No person was injured. All passen-
ger trains, up to this morning, were
run via Alton and Baxter Springs.

few minutes before twelve o'clock
last night the steam whistles sounded
the alarm Of fire, ard investigation
showed the Ninita Roller mills, in the
northeast part Of town, to be on fire.
The blaze was first seen bursting
through the side Of the building near
the second floor. In an incredibly
short time the entire structure, ware
house and an, was wrapped in flame
and the heavy machinery from the
upper floor was tumbling to the base
ment, while tile walls were falling In
with d roar.
The structure was composed almost
entirely Of wood, except the basement
and the stiff north wind famed the
tire into red blaze that lighted the
entire eastern portion Of the city.
The volunteer fire company, whose
members reside IN various parts Of
town rushed 20 the building on Wiz
SON street where the hose and engine
are kept locked up, and brought out
the fire fighting apparatus. But by
the time II arrived on the scene tie
fire was beyond control, So far as the
mill was concerned. and all efforts
were directed toward saving nearby
buildings.
The cause ol the fire is unaccounted

London Prayer Meetinra.

A notable result of the recent Daily
News census Of church attendance in
London is the discovery that prayer
meetings. which were once regarded as
a vital breath OF the life of the church.
have almost ceased to exist. In the
populous borough of Chelsea only
thirty persons were found 70 be in
attendance at prayer meetings Thlr-

l once heard Of young lady who
used to boast that she was engaged to
three different young men at the same
time. She had in her possession three
different engagement rings. After
awhile she dismissed all three sultors
and married a fourth. Do you won
der that after such perfdies her mar
ried life was unhappy? Untrue to her
hance. of course she was untrue to her
husband. A divorce scandal a few
years later was the result. Her father.
a noble Christian man of the west as
result felt himself disgraced and re-
signed his pulpit. for he was minis
ter. His life was to some extent wreck
ed' as well as hers. You say such
course as that is an extreme case? or
course. But Cll evils should not be
desPised because they are not mon.
strous evils. The little, seemingly
harmless hirtations during summer va
cations or at a church picnic or in the
street car or concert hall are all divorce
seed paintings. You cannot trlhe with
human affections in youth without be-
ing In danger. as an iconocast. of
smashing the marriage shrine when
you are middle aged. Let parents be
careful with whom their children asso-
ciate. Let them beware Of what they |
are allowed 10 say to others and what /
others are allowed to say to them. II 1
Is ali well enough to talk about the /
Vaunted freedom Of the American boy F..
and girl; but, for my own part espe-

association OF young people and the

make. think they have altogether too
much freedom.
