MILWAUKEE, TRAIN
FIGURES In WRECK
Engine and Baggage Car of South
west Limited Derailed at TWEEN
ty-ninth Street.

The engine and the baggage car on
the Milwaukee's southwest limited
running between Chicago and Kansas
City. were derailed last night at
1920 o'clock at the foot of Twenty
ninth street, but no one was injured.
The engine was disabled for service.
and a new engine was procured from
Davenport TO continue the run.
The point where the wreck occur
red is at the crossing of the Rock ISL
and and Milwaukee tracks. and the
law compels the trains to stop before
arriving at that point, and proceed
slowly when crossing it. Had it not
been for the fact that the train was
going slowly probably there would
have been a serious accident.
Engineer Sutherland was at the
throttle. while Conductor Feather
stone was in charge of the train. The
train. which was bound west, had just
gone past the last switch opposite the
target house when the engine and car
left the rails, and as a result the main
lines east and west were blocked for
four hours.
The electric wires attached to the
motor which was in the baggage car
and used TO generate electricity for
lighting the train, were severed when
the car left the track, and threw the
passengers into a pail of darkness, in
creased their fright, making them
think they were in the midst of some
disaster. The wrecking crew was
called to the scene, and after a few
hours work had everything in the
clear, and morning trains were allow
ed TO make their usual runs.

MAY USE KRAGs ON RANGE
FOR MILITIA NEAR PEORIA

The second rife range in the state of
Illinois. available since the state
troops have been armed with the cele-
brated Krag-Jorgensen rifle. will soon
be opened by Troop G.. of Peoria I'M
der command of Capt. Frank y Bush.
The great range of the new rifle has
put most of the other ranges out of
business. The rifle kills at 1000 yards.
This distance is so great that in case
bullet should go over the top of a
hill il might kill somebody in the dis
sance beyond. The only other range
with a hill high enough for 4 back
ground. is at Camp Logan. near Chi
cago. II has been found necessary TO
discontinue the range at Camp Lin
coin. Springfield. for the reason that
the hill forming the background is not
high enough.
Col. Dietrich, chief inspector of rifle
practice. inspected the Troop G range
and pronounced il the finest he had
ever seen. The range was built last
year by the troop and the state was
asked for nothing.

An Air Tight Fit.

Mrs Jennings and her city cousin
were exchanging news of their old
school friends. "How about Lucy
Morse:' asked the cousin. Has she
kept on growing fatter and fatter?'
well. all III say is this said Mrs.
Jennings: annie Fall told me last
year that when Lucy sent home from
Nashua. where she was nursing her
uncle, TO have silk waist made, Annie
realized she hadn't got any measures.
and then she remembered that the last
time Lucy was there she stood up by
the big air tight stove. and Annie re-
marked - TO herself - the resemblance
between 'em. And she took the meas
ure of that air tight and cut in mite
fer the waist iine--'bout as much as a
knife marks warm molasScs candy
and made the waist accordingly, sent
It on, and Lucy wrote back ii was an
elegant fit."-Youth's Companion.

Confederate Flags.

In March, 1861, the Confederate con-
gross adopted as the national emblem
the "stars and bars" 1t was made up
of three horizontal bars of red white
and red, with blue union in the upper
left hand corner, on which were dis
played thirteen white stars in circle,
thus giving the historic red. white and
blue, which tricolor appeared in all
the succeeding changes.
The resemblance. of this TO the stars
and stripes led to confusion. mistakes
and loss of life at the battle of Ma
nassas. and shortly after that action an
other flag was born TO the Confederacy
in September. 1861.
The battle flag was then adopted.
THIS. in the language of heraldry. was
a red field charged with a blue saltier.
with narrow border Of white. on
which were displayed thirteen white
stars-in other words. blue st. An
drew's cross on red ground. This
was easily disfinguishable and was
never changed.

BIundcrbuss.

In using the word "biunderbuss" we
unconsciously imply a sense of dis
arrangement for the shooting powers
of our forefatliers contracted with the
precision of the modern rife. The
word itself has. however. terrible
enough meaning and disdains all con
nection with "bluader.' .Blunder-
lH.ss.- u fact. as we have il. is a
strange corruption-perhaps not alto
gcther untinged with the sense and
