Secretary or Agriculture.
By an order promulgated in March by
the Secretary of Agriculture, it is re-
quired that all cattle west of the Missis-
sippi river intended for shipment should
be dipped in a preparation prescribed
by the department for the purpose Of alb
solutely exterminating the skin disorder
known as the mango, which has existed
to a limited extent for many years in
that section.
AS it has been found impossible to
make necessary preparations and round
up and dip the cattle within the limited
time allowed, numerous petitions have
reached the department praying for a
relaxation of the order. The other day a
delegation appeared before the Secretary
Of Agriculture, and later called on the
President, requesting that the order be
so modified as to obviate the dipping Of
beef cattle before shipment and in lieu
thereof to institute rigid government in
spection at the point Of shipment before
the cattle are loaded on the cars.

EXCURSION TRAIN is WRECKED.
Twenty-four Persons Killed and Seven
ty-Two Injured at G1enwood, Ill.


Twenty-four women and children were
killed and seyenty-two injured, forty Sc
riously, in collision between an excur-
sion train loaded to the platforms with
Sunday school picnickers from Doremus
Congregational Church, Chicago, and
freight train near Glenwood, ILL.,, at GAO
o'clock Wednesday night.
The wreck was the result of misun-
derstanding of orders. The excursion
train was coming north on the south
bound track of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Railroad when at a curve half a
mile south Of Glenwood it crashed into
the rear end of a coal train. The bag
gage car was telescoped and the first
coach completely demolished. Both cars
were filed with children and old Wom-
ella
Yhe party Of $50 picnickers was re-
turning from Island Park, Momence. For
this most part the passengers were hap
py children and their mothers. Some
were singing and some were asleep when
the wreck came.
At the crash those in the rear cars of
thu eleven-coach train rushed for the
doors or jumped through the windows,
many being injured. In ront, the first
two cars, crushed like egg shells, were
crowded with dead and injured.
The baggage car had been filed with
romping children. The roof Of the first
passenger was rammed clear through it,
pushing the cruelty crushed mass of hui
monity through the breaks in the walls.
The first passenger car was torn to splin-
ters.
Word was sent to Chicago Heights and
Glenwood and relief parties reached the
spot fifteen minutes later. The scene
was most fearful thing. Struggling
masses of bodies could be seen through
the openings in the cars. The dead and
injured were packed in together.
The dead were terribly, horribly man.
gled, heads and limbs having been sew
cred, and in the midst were the MANNED
and injured living. 1t was fifteen min
utes before the first body was taken out.
There was no screaming or wailing.
