A WORLDS FAIR WRECK
This Time It Happened on a Rock
 Island Track.

Princeton, H., Sept. 7.-The Kansas cago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad was wrecked one half mile east of Tiskilawa tonight and more than thir- ty persons were badly injured, two of whom have since died. Others are pinned under the wrecked passenger coaches and as yet have not been re- covered.
 The passenger train collided with the rear end of a freight train that had broken in two. The engineer escaped injury but the fireman was seriously hurt. Half a dozen passenger cars were wrecked and the passengers thrown in every direction, eight land ing in a cornfield along the side of the track. Many of the injured have been taken to Tiskilawa and others to the hospital at Lasalle. Physicians and nurses have been summoned from many of the surrounding towns. The full extent of the disaster will not be known for several hours.
 The wreck was caused by a peculiar accident. Shortly before the time for the Southwest bound passenger train to arrive at Tiskilawa, an east bound freight broke in two while running at a high rate of speed. The two sec tions almost immediately came to- gether again with great force, piling up several <boX cars on the westbound track, almost directly in front of the fast passenger train. The engineer of the latter was unable to stop and the passenger train hit the wreckage while going at an estimated speed of sixty miles an hour.

THE WORST IS oVE9.
That is the Opinion of the Russian
 General Staff

St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.-Tae general staff is not displaying great anxiety over the alarmist reports that GeenrlI huroDatkin is in serious danger of be- ing cut off, but if they had any infor- nation from the front today they have not revealed it. Members also decline to say, even if they know, whether General Kuropatkin purposes taking his army north of Mukden.
 An officer of the general staff said to the Associated Press tonight: T be- lieve it is safe to say that General Kuropatkin's army is now out of dan ger. Our advices since Monday indi- cate that the fighting is Of an insig- nificant character and I do not believe that the tired Japanese troops are cap able of seriously threatening the line of retreat. The greatest difficulty our army is now having to contend with is the terrible road, owing to the rain of Monday and Tuesday. Our information is that the bulk of the baggage has al ready passed through Mukden. This is the usual procedure in the case Of any retreat
 Kuropatkin's movements. after all. must depend chiefly on the tactics of the Japanese with whom lies the initia- tive. If the Japanese continue to press north in the hope of cutting off the Russians and bringing them to bay, then Kuropatkin will be obliged to move north to circumvent them. Put both armies already are terribly ex- hausted and if they again come into grip, the result will depend largely upon which of them is able to throw the most fresh reserves into the fight. If there is a race northward, it is ap- parent that the greatest danger will come at the narrow defile of Tiehlinz.

The demonstration before the New
York Microscopical Society that lazi-
ness Is a disease caused by the insid-
ious germ known as hookworm, anky-
listomm, duodenale, and u%ncinariasis,
will no doubt set many people pitying
themselves. Ruth McEnery Stuart, in
IL OF her inimitable Southern sketch
es, tells the story of a negro who de-
clares himself to have been marked
for rest" and who acts on that theory
all his life, while his wife support
him and the rest of the family. 9th
ers who like to stop work better than
to begin it, but who have not been
able to excuse lazlness as anything
more than habit, will probably utilize
the loophole offered by the New York
microscopists. No doubt the law
mans respect for himself will go up
amazingly, and self-pity will also be in
evidence when he realizes that he is
in reality suffering from a disease. 1t
Is to be hoped, however, that the mi.
c~roscopists will follow up their q re-
searches and discover the cure for the
hookworm Of laziness. 1t is said there
is no germ without its destroyer. lust
as there is no poison without its anti.
date, and the discovery, Of the nemesis
of the hookworm will simplify the
worlds affairs amazingly. If all lazy
people can be successfully treated, the
dynamic force of the human race will
be increased about 30 per cent. 1t is
inspiring to think what a vast increase
In Americas industries will occur
when all the tramps rush eagerly to
meet the work which they now side
step so adroitly. The lazy youth of
high society, whose hardest work to-
day is keeping his cigarette lighted,
viii be a captain of industry, and all
avenues of business will feel the reiu-
venating influences of the a~nti-laziness
treatment. There Is only one danger
which now clouds the glowing future
pointed out by the New York micro
scopists. The investigators are quite
likely to be g%erm-bitten and become
too lazy to carry their Investigations to
a finish.

1t is not known just how long mos

is much longer than is ordinarily sup
posed. Thousands of them live through
winter, alternating or asleep in dark
places in barns or house cellars. In
sparsely settled localities, where they
cannot find such places for shelter,
they live through the winter in hollow
trees; and, even though the tempera-
ture may fall far below freezing, they
are not winter killed, but on the ap-
proach of warm weather become ac-
tive again. Mosquitoes are frequently
seen flying about in the woods before

$4,000. And were a hundred pounds

extent, displaced the splendid rig" a
great many then thought the horse
was sure to go. But he Is here still.
When the electric car superseded the
"dinky bob-tail' the same prediction
was made, and even more forcibly was
it noised about when the erratic auto
mobile invaded our midst For ages,
and history runneth not to the con-
trary, the horse has been mans closest

horse has proved his worth. In the
face Of scientific progress the horse
has advanced in an astounding degree.
Never before in the history of the
world has the noble steed reached such
a high development. More attention
Is paid to-day TO fine points Ia breed
ing than ever before. Not alone is this
true OF racing and fancy breeds, but
also OF draught animals. 1t Is natural

She was a pretty and winsome LITTLE

No"
why not"
"Well, you see in the daytime tbev,s
