The current year promises to go down in history as one of the worst in the number of railroad wrecks and the Iron Mountain has come in to boost up the list of injured, forty-two people hav- ing been hurt in the Wrecking of No. IF Tuesday morning at Vul- can, Mo-, fifteen miles north of Piedmont.
 A broken rail is now assigned as the cause of the wreck, and as the. train was running 60 to 70 miles an hour, every car left the track and all but a sleeper were overturned. The engine ran down into the creek and was par tially submerged. Luckily not a coach telescoped or the loss of life would have been fearful.
 Doctor Roseborough of Bates vile was here Tuesday night. He was badly injured in the wreck and had to be assisted to and from the train.
 Mrs. Gus Blass of Little Rock was thrown from her berth into another across the aisle, but not injured.
 Among the seriously injured from this state were c. H. Mach in, Mrs. J. M. Kieser, G. w. Gray, Nellie La Grande, Alice Altheimer, MT. and Mrs. J. w. Michaels, MT. and Mrs. H. H. Bell, all of Little Rock; Clifford Bell, Conductor Kimmons and Engineer Brennecke of St. Louis and A. J. Hoffman, Hot Springs.

 The funeral of James Calvin was held Wednesday morning at the home of his sister, Mrs. Flora Kimberlin, and was largely attended by friends of the fam fly. The floral pieces were many and beautiful, entirely covering the casket. The pail bearers were J. D. Carvel, Bert Snetzer, John Umsted, Joe Mullens, Geo. Sink and Arthur Bowie.
 MT. and Mrs. T. D. Kinman, IT,, and Miss Noreene Kinman returned Tuesday night from a visit to the fair. Their train, No. 3, was held several hours beyond the scene of the wreck, which they passed at a snail's speed. All the way from St. Louis they met trains bearing the injured and in MT. Kinman's opinion there were at least 100 injured. Where the train left the track and was hurled down the embankment into the creek below, the ground was covered with blood where the injured had rested after being taken from the train.
 Mrs. Etta Merrill's millinery opening Tuesday was we'll at tended, considering the warm weather, for 'tis as hard to sell a winter hat as an overcoat when the thermometer scars around the hundreds. This, however,, could have nothing to do with the beauty of the fall styles as skillfully shown by the tasteful, clever and original workmanship of Mrs. Merrill and her popular trimmers, Misses Wells and Adams. The display was most creditable one and elicited much compliment from all visitors. Mrs. Merrill now has the only millinery store in Newport, but has prepared to meet the de- mands of an increased business.
