A Wabash Wreck.

There was a wreck on the
Wabash railroad at Norville, a
small station between sumner
and Chillicothe, early last Satur.
day morning between two
through passenger trains, both
double.headers, and loaded with
worlds fair visitors. The crews
on all four of the engines jumped
and escaped serious injury.
Not one of the passengers on
either train was seriously hurt.
The front engines on both trains
were badly damaged, but re.
mained on the track, necessitat-
ing the building of a sidetrack
around the wreck to enable other
trains to pass. The wreck caus.
ed delay of trains for five or
six hours. An investigation
will be made and the blame To-
Gated, if any, where it belongs.

NUMBER 81
About Dltching.

A COURIER representative re-
Gently sojourned in Atchison
county, this state, where he had
an opportunity to make some OBJ
servations concerning ditching
swamp and overflowed lands as
done in that portion Of the state.
The western part of Atchison
county lies in the Missouri bot
tom, embracing an area of about
Is miles in length and from two
to six miles in width. This was
once the richest and most pro-
ductive portion of the county,
yielding from 75 to 100 bushels
of corn to the acre. 1t was in
habited by thrifty and well.to.
do class of people as indicated
by their commodious farm resi-.
d and out. buildings.
Through this rich bottom land
there was running river known
as the Nishnabotna. Judging
from the old bed of the stream, we
take it the Nishnabotna was
about the size of the Charlton
!, river, and is described as having
been deep stream, with numer-
Gus springs bursting through its
banks all along its course, there
by furnishing under -ground
drainage to the farm lands on
either side of it. There is no
longer stream there. The old
bed is entirely filled up in many
places, while in others there are
shallow lakes in which are grow
ing willow trees.
J The inquiry arises, what has
caused this change in the condi-
ton of things there? We can't
say positively, but opine it has
been done by false system of
ditching. In the first place a
lateral ditch four miles long was
dug from the Nishnabotna river,
! beginning at Hamburg, Iowa, to
the Missouri river which diverted
& the flow of the water from the
s Nishnabotna to the ditch, and
the current being swifter in the
ditch than in the river the Nish-
: nabotna soon began to I'LL up and
: has Continued to do so to the pres.
: ent time. A straight ditch was
cut the entire distance from the
Iowa line to the Missouri river
parallel to the course of the
3 Nishnabotna. This has not af-
v forded relief for the reason, as is
: thought, it was too small. A
: large dredge boat has been at
4 work recently increasing the ca
? pacity of this ditch. Whether
r what is expected of this work will
o be realized is problem yet to be
solved.
We noticed, furthermore, that
. lateral bitches, made by farmers
;. intersecting the larger ditch, are
pretty well filled up and the wa
. ter lies in them until evaporation
. and absorption takes it up. For
two years past this splendid body
= of land has been almost barren
;, of grain crops, because of the
!. heavy rainfall with no chance
for the water to get off the
ground until taken up by evap-
Grafton.
Notwithstanding all t h e
drawbacks we were told that
most any Of the farms in that
locality would readily command
S75 an acre.
We did not visit Tarkio in the
vicinity of which David Rankin,
- the largest corn and cattle. raiser
\ in the world, has done much
ditching, but as we crossed the
Tarkio river lower down we
noticed the same condition pre-
vailed in the bottom lands as
were found in the Nishnabotna
4 country.
= We are now ready,in the house

Meeting of the County Committee.

A meeting of the county DEM
ocratic central committee was
held in the county court room
of the courthouse at Keytesville
Monday afternoon for the pur-
pose Of perfecting arrangements
for speakers and to conduct a
lively campaign from now until
the election.
Several good talks were made
by those present, and if the
plans adopted are. carried out,
there is no reason why Charlton
county should not show an in.
crease in her Democratic vote
the 9Th of November.
Only partial positive announc-
ments were made of speaking
appointments as follows: Hon.
Jos. w. Folk at Brunswick Fri
day, October 81, at 1880, p. M,
and Senator VIM. J. Stone at
Keytesville at 80 p. m. Tues
day, November 1. There will
be grand Democratic rally and
lovefeast in Keytesville the same
day, and there will also be some
prominent orator to speak here at
night, probably Senator j. W.
Bailey of Texas.
Local talent will also be en-
listed for different points
throughout the county land efforts
will be made to get Hon. JAS. A.
Reed to speak at Triplett and
Mendon and Hon. Harry B.
Hawes at Brunswick and Sails
bury.
1t was decided to have rousing
Democratic rally and barbecue
at Pee Dee the date of which has
not yet been named. 1t is in
tended to make this the biggest
thing of the kind in the county,
and all neighboring townships
are especially expected to take
an active part. The sum of $50
was subscribed on the spot for
the Pee Dee rally and barbecue,
Key t sville, Salisbury and
Brunswick townships contribu-
ting SIS, each, and S5 was pledg-
ed by Hon. j. c. Crawley, who
represented Cunningham town
ship.
Charlton county may be de-
pended on to do her whole duty
in upholding the glorious cause
of Democracy. but it may be
necessary to place campaign
torch under a few of "the boys"
to warm them up like they ought
to be.
The great questions of the tar
if, the trusts and Imperialism are
to be passed upon by the people,
and no Democrat can afford not
to cast his vote against these
burning and consuming evils.
Chas. Scott, through his attor-
ney, Major W. H. Bradley of
Salisbury, has brought suit
at the ensuing November term of
circuit court at Keytesville for a
divorce from his wife, Lilley
Scott, to whom he was married
September /, 1896, and contin-
ed to live with until June Is,
1901, when he left her because
of her gross, lewd, immoral and
criminal conduct, and because of
her failure to perform her duties
as his wife. The plaintiff also
charges defendant with commit
ting adultery with other men and
with going about from place to
place and for weeks and days at
time with lewd and immoral
women and prostitutes against
the wishes and protests of plain
tiff. Verify, Mr.. Scott's marital
couch is built of thorns, and he is
