Collision of Freight Trains Results In
One Death and the Injury Of
Two Other Persons-An
4 Officer is Killed.

Two freight trains in collision on
the Northwestern road, four miles
north of Logan, caused the fatal injury
of Claud Dean of Dunlap, Ia, and the
loss by fire of seventeen cars, mostly
loaded. Fireman Charles Berry of
Boone, had his leg broken, and Engi-
neer M. Bolinger, was badly injured
about the body. Young Dean was
caught in the wreckage and was
frightfully burned, being scarcely rec
ognizable. He, together with Berry
and Bolinger are in the hospital at
Boone. George Clifford of Dunlap, who
was in the car with DeahSs was unhurt.
Train No. ia was a time freight and
train No. lis was filled with merchan-
disc. A defective car on ia caused
the sudden setting of the air brakes,
derailing the train and throwing two
cars OF oil across the other track. No.
119 on the second track soon crashed
into the wreck and fire ensued at once.
The fire burned furiously until seven
teen cars and contents were consumed.
1t was only by the hardest effort that
the farmhouse of M. F. Little, which
stood some distance away, was saved,
SO intense was the heat.

Returns as From the Grave.

Given up for dead for the past quar-
ter of century, Schuyler Holly,
pioneer resident of Iowa Falls, has
suddenly returned there and is visit
ing his daughter, Mrs. LIE Roy Plop-
per. who had heard nothing of her
father since 1881, and had supposed
all these years that he was dead. Mr..
Holly is eighty-seven years old, and
has been living in Kansas for many
years. where he has accumulated cen.
siderable property. Infirm with age,
his will is indomitable, and he has
sold out his interests in Kansas and
will go to Oklahoma to make a new
home. After leaving home suddenly
in the early eighties" he dropped out
Of sight. Owing to his advanced age,
the natural supposition was that he
was dead, and it was like the reap
pearance of one from the other world
when his daughter met him at Iowa
Falls. Mrs. Holly died several months
ago. but during the long years of her
husbands absence she was firm in the
belief that he would return.

Town Opens Wider.

The Anti-saloon league of Sioux City
has gone oat Of business. A resolu-
ton passed by the league declares that
1t retires from business to give the
city authorities full sway in enforcing
the law, since the work of the league
has been tagging of late, due to a lack
of financial support on the part of the
public. The police department will
permit more liberal observance of
the law. The saloons will be permit
ted to remain open until II p. m. in
stead of closing at 10. The back
door and single room features also
will be overlooked, but the saloons
must remain closed on Sundays and
legal holidays.

Judge Parker missed noble oppor-
tunity to do his party and himself
great service when he did not join
declaration for this Democratic tax
to his declaration for the gold stand
ard. Let us hope that in his letter of
acceptance he will not ignore it. He
will be at perfect liberty to deal with
it, for the convention by it's response
to his gold telegram virtually con-
coded to him the privilege of rewrit-
ing its platform.
The American is as anxious for the
success of the Democratic party as
Judge Parker himself can possibly be.
Therefore it is solicitous that he
should avoid further mistakes. The
American has told him, and now tells
him again with added emphasis, that
he cannot afford to continue the Bel
mont association, nor can the party
afford to have him do SO. Mr.. August
Belmont and his kind are not Demo-
Gratis. They represent interests and
influences that are Republican. They
stand in the public mind for the
worst side of Wall street, for the
trusts and other forms of predatory
wealth, against which the plain
people are aroused and against which
they are eager to vote. AS the candi-
date of the Democratic party, no
matter whether he is "gold man" or
not, Judge Parker should do all in his
power to convince the plain people
that in voting for him they will be
voting against law-scorning and de-
spelling plutocracy. How can Judge
Parker hope 80 to convince the people
if he shall allow a man of August
Belmontis antecedents and associa.
tions to pose as his sponsor and neal
friend and adviser?
The effect of the eleventh hour
telegram to the national convention
can be repaired, but not if the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate shall re.
tain trust agents like August Belmont
among his closest counselors.

Suspected Of Being Implicated In More
Than One Crime.

A daring horsethief and burglar, and
his pal, a highway robber, were nabbed
at Iowa City last week by the police,
the latter allege. The horsethief, 1t is
alleged, is Dennis Spillane of Cedar
Rapids, Ia, who stole farmers team,
and horse and buggy belonging to
the secretary of the Ladies' Improve
ment league, Miss Myra Troth. The
former horses were recovered early,
but the police were compelled to chase
the man four miles into the country
and through the woods before they
could arrest Spillane, who fought
fiercely, and was not subdued until a
billy was freely used. Spillane is
charged with breaking into cabin in
the woods in company with Eugene
Moriarity and Will Graney of Cedar
Rapids, and driving the women therein
into the night. The police also aver
that Graney, in turn, held up Moriarity
