A RAILROAD HORROR.

A Wabash Train Is Wrecked at Litch-
field, lll.-Twenty People Killed and
Dozens Injured.
st. Louis, July "A special to the
Globe Democrat from Litchfield, ILL.,.
says that the Chicago limited on the
Wabash railroad, due in st. Louis at
Z o'clock last night and half an hour
late, was wrecked inside the city lin
its.
The train struck an open switch
and was overturned and seven of the
nine cars were burned. 1t is believed
that 20 persons perished in the burned
and wrecked coaches and that 40 were
injured.
The engine after running into the
switch struck string of freight cars
and with the first three coaches was
piled into heap across the track and
caught fire Immediately.
The track was reported clear at the
last station and as the train was
running about so miles an hour, the
open switch was not noticed. Nearly
all the passengers were bound for st.
Louis and those not injured left on
the Illinois Central train an hour
later. Three of the injured have since
died.
Interviews with several of them
elected the information that the train
consisted of seven cars, all heavily
loaded with passengers. The three
rear cars, a diner and two sleepers,
were not derailed. The other four
cars were piled up in an indiscrimi-
nate mass and with the crushed
freight cars on the siding took fire. A
rumor spread that one of the freight
cars was loaded with explosives and
for the time this had the effect of re-
tarding the work of the rescuers.

BIG DOG ATTENDS SCHOOL
Follows His Little Master Every Day
in Spite of Objections Made
by His Teacher.

Whoever heard of a dog going to
school?
In PawtucTet, R. l., there is dog
that has been attending school for a
couple Of years. His name is Prince
Turner.
He goes to one of the grammar
schools.
He is Newfoundland dog-a big,
heavy fellow-but his manners and his
disposition are perfectly gentle.
Does he break the rules? Not as
often as his boy companions do. In
deed, his department grade is very
high.
Prince Turner belongs to little boy
whose name is Willie Turner, and
when he first began bringing Prince to
school the teacher objected
But her objections did no good, for
Prince was determined to come with
his little master
For little while he was as awk-
ward as bull in china shop; the
aisles were so narrow that sometimes
he had tight squeeze to get through.
And then in his good humor he
would switch his tail back and forth,
which sometimes gave the children a
smart slap in their faces.
After a bit, however, he learned how
to get along very nicely in the school
room.
Princes regular place in the room is
an open space in front of the teacher 8
desk.
Occasionally he rises and moves quiet
ly about the room, stopping now and
then to let some boy or girl give him a
pat and hug.
At recess time in the morning and in
the afternoon he rises and marches out
with the children and takes his recrea-
tion with them, and then marches in.
One day, however. Prince had little
errand to attend to at recess time and
wandered farther away from the school
yard than he expected to. When the
bell rang at the close of recess he did
not hear it. The teacher noticed that
prince was not in line 50 she opened the
window and rang the bell second time.
This time Prince heard it and trotted
straight back to the yard and found his
place in the line,
One time his master had misbehaved
and was sent to the principal to be pun
ished. Prince somehow seemed to real
ize that his master was in trouble, so
what did he do but march into the prin-
cipal's room-the door had been left
open-plant himself beside his master
and look dangerous.
The principal did not dare to punish
the boy until the dog had been removed.
Perhaps some of you boys wish you
had dog around to protect you when
you have misbehaved and are going to
be punished.
Prince would like to go to Sunday
school, but the superintendent has not
yet made up his mind that it would dc
to let big dog in. So the poor fellow
has to wait at the door until Sunday
school is over and Willie comes out

THE PoPuLIsTs.
Their National Convention Is Not
Larqely Attended.

Springfield, H., July 5.-The 500
or 600 delegates that were expected to
attend the populist national conven-
ton in this city yesterday did not put
in an appearance and when the con-
vention was called to order there
were fewer than 200 delegates in
the hall.
Only % states were represented in
the convention. The convention was
called to order by Vice Chairman j. H.
Edmiston, of Nebraska, and the call
for the convention was read by 10 A.
Parker, of Kentucky, national chair
man. Congressman l.. H. Weller,
of Iowa, was made temporary secre-
tary. After the temporary organiza-
tion had been perfected the conven-
tion listened to addresses by ex-Sena-
tor William V. Allen, of Nebraska,
and Rev. A. E. Nelson, of St. Louis. 1t
was late in the afternoon before the
speech making was over and the con-
vention took recess until evening.
j. H. Edminston was chosen chairman
of the committee on resolutions.
Only three names are mentioned in
connection with the nomination for
resident-William V. Allen, of Ne
braska; Samuel w. Williams, of In
diana, and Thomas E. Watson, OF

have been the leader of the 10000 tail
ors now ON strike here but who disap-
peared when the strike went into eff

INSECTS THAT MAKE euRs.
Something About the Cunningly Con.
structed Home of Fly, Known
as Rhodites Eglantina.

OF course you 90 not expect to see
chestnut burs on wild rose bush, but
occasionally, if you are an observanr
boy or Sirl, you will discover some big
round, green growth surrounding the
stalk of the fragrant sweet briar, that
on account of their dense covering Of
spiny "prickles" look very much like
burs. But inside you will find that the
resemblance ceases for instead of
shining trio of fat brown nuts, you will
find series of compact little cells where
in are curled up, each mite in a COM
partment of its own, number of small
white larvae. They secure a sufficient
amount of nourishment from the walls
of their tiny chambers, which are COM
posed of succulent matter.
Now when you have discovered that
this funny growth is not the fruit of the
sweet-smelling pink rose, you will be in
terested in 1t as cunningly constructed
home of a small insect family. In the
beginning, the parent fly punctures the
sharp thorned stalk of the plant, and
oviposts numerous wee eggs. Very

1T LOOKS LIKE PARKER.
Democratic National Committee Met
to Decide Contests.

to Decide Contests.
St Louis, July 5.-Parker on the
second ballot, perhaps on the first.
That is the claim of the men who are
in charge of the political affairs Of
the New York candidate. All of
Monday the Parker opponents tried to
perfect a program which would pro-
long the balloting and afford an oppor-
tunity to name another candidate, but
apparently they have not succeeded.
Many combinations have been sug-
gested, but so far they seem to have
proven incapable of being assembled
into a shape sufficiently substantial to
show the independent and uninstruct-
ed delegates how another candidate
can be named.
The national committee met to de-
eide the contests for seats on the
temporary roll call, and to transact
matters of routine business.
The committee reconvened in the
afternoon and Chairman Jones an
nounced the subcommittee which
will listen to the evidence in the con-
tests.
A bitter fight was waged before the
sub committee that heard the contest
in the Twelfth Ohio district, where C..
d. SAVERS and John c. l.. Pugh,, two
Hearst men, are seeking to unseat
James Ross and Gillian, and John J..
Lentz spoke twice for the contestants;
SAVERS, Ross and Pugh also spoke in
their own behalf. The subcommittee
decided to report in favor of the con-
testees, Ross and Gillian.
After an almost continuous session
of nine hours the sub committee Of
the national committee to which was
submitted the evidence in the IA
contests in Illinois went into executive
session at midnight with every indica-
tion that their verdict would be VIC
tory for John P. Hopkins and his fac
| lion.

Comrades, Shot a Negro and Threw
Him from the Train.
New York, July 5.-The fact that
more than a score of tramps who were
beating their way toward the west on
freight train were held up and
robbed by three of their own kind late
Saturday night, before the train had
passed the city limits, became known
Monday through the arrest of three
suspects. Not only were the victims
relieved of their money, amounting to
about $40, but at the point of three
pistols were forced to remove all their
clothing and hand it over to their
captors.
One of the victims, negro, then
was forced to stand in corner of a
box car while the robbers amused
themselves by shooting at him After
he had fallen to the floor with several
bullets in his body he was thrown
from the moving train, and few min
utes later the robbers jumped from
the train and disappeared. The
wounded negro made known the
plight of his companions on the train
and a quiet search for the holdur
men was begun.
