Energy of Americans.

At meeting of the Institute of Me-
chanical Engineers in London on July
%, the members who visited America
recently related their experiences.
What struck them most forcibly over
here was ''the spirited manner in
which machinery was laid down to
cope with enormous outputs, and the
energy with which every one worked,
whether he was manager Of work
man."

Regular Train Cut in Two.
The passenger train consisting Of
two day coaches, Pullman and a
caboose, was loaded with Worlds fair
excursionists from southeast Missouri.
The regular passenger train No. 30
had been cut in two at Pleasant Hill
on account of the heavy load and an
engine attached to the front car with
out baggage car as a buffer. The
extra freight had side-tracked at
Montserrat for the first section Of No.
go which carried signals that Sec
ond section was following. This was
followed by passenger train No. So,
which the freight crew took for the
second section Of No. 80. The freight
pulled out Of the sidetrack and three
miles west met the second section.
The impact telescoped the tender of
the passenger engine into the front
car, which was loaded with passengers,
and it was here that the sacrifice Of
life took place.
Conductor Runs for Help.
The passenger conductor, e. L..
Barnes, ran all the way to Warrens-
burg and broke the news Of the wreck.
Every physician in the town responded
and hundreds Of citizens fastened to
the wreck and assisted the wounded
from beneath the timbers of the broken
cars. Twenty people were killed out
right and eight died before 8 o'clock
The dead were placed upon fiat cars
and brought to this city, and DR.. Bills,
the coroner, Immediately impaneled a
jury and started on the inquiry which
is still in session The afternoon was
taken up in identifying the dead, an.
last night the conductor of the freight
train was on the stand. He claims to
have been doing while his train was
at Montserrat and when train No. so
passed Engineer Norton believed it
was the second section of No. 80 and,
thinking the track clear, pulled out on
the main line.

wOntN ARE TO BLAhf FOR IT ALL.

Melville T.. Stone, manager of
the Associated Press, in an address
to the General Federation Of Women
Suffragists at St Louis, said: Let
me tell you that the scandal papers
of the country are supported by
women. No large metropolitan
newspaper can live unless it meets
the demands of the women The
BiughamtOn, n. Y. Herald in com
menting upon this says:
"Of course, the woman is always
to blame for it all. She was the one
who gave Adam the forbidden fruit.
She is always the one who drives
her husband to drink, and evil ways,
and who causes him to get grey
headed because of her terrible temp
er. If there ~ anything particular
fy wrong in the world ii can all be
9raced back To woman. We did not
believe that the sensational news
papers were the outcome of a de-
mand for their existence by the de-
based female sex of the country, but
1t seems that such S the case. Epi-
denies of crime are probably
due to the women, aud We have no
doubt that a careful scrunity will
reveal the Tact that all the evil
things of which the world complains
are the outgrowth Of the efforts of
the women. We are glad to know
that the world is coming TO recog
nize the villainy of that terrible
sex. In time to come they will get
set down on the records just where
they belong"
There is more truth in the satirical
remarks of the Herald than
most people realize. In a recent pa
per read before the Society for the
study of Inebriety, in London, DIR,
Jones made the claim that the chief
cause of drunkenness was bad cook
ing of housekeepers. He, however,
did not explain why this same food
did not make drunkaTds of the wo-
men who ate the same food AnOth- |
er writer recently made the claim
that women were the cause Of wars,
and recently the Male Teachers
Association of New York City laid
the blame of so few boys graduating
from the high schools upon the
women teachers, claiming that If
they were under the instruction of
male teachers they would remain in
school for a longer time.

Yet Wheat Refuses to Break and
July Closes at an Ad-
vance.
June, the Bear Month, Half Way
Thru and the Trade Still
Waiting.
If the Bears Can t Break It Soon
the Bulls May Try for a
Rise.

! Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
June 15-Half-way thru June, the bear
month, and the market not easily de-
pressed, while efforts to break the price
are seen daily and the bear news comes
'piling in. This is the situation In wheat
That July should have held above 93c this
morning was a great surprise, for there
was bearish news enough to have affected
bull sentiment adversely under ordinary
conditions. Minneapolis had very light
receipts. the one important bull Item
Against 1t were lower foreign markets,
Liverpool bQ1Md off, Paris easy, Berlin
and Budapest lower. France, according
to latest adylces, Is In splendid condition
as to growing crops, with the prospect or
having so much wheat that none will need
to be imported. Big traders were open
ly bearish on this and sold freely in out
side markets. The Iowa state crop sum-
mary was bearish and advices from the
northwest are favorable, Winnipeg report
Ing perfect weather. Later foreign adj
vices were additionally bearish, Liverpool
sentiment being reported much depressed
by heavy offerings of wheat from India.
Flour shipments from Minneapolis at only
S,028 barrels were not encouraging. and
New York wired that flour stocks there
are up to 100000 barrels, and trade IS dull.
Even the thirty loads which sold for ex-
port yesterday proved to be Manitoba
wheat, and the decreasing local elevator
stocks at $4,000 bu was less than had
been expected. If the old idea that when
everything is bearish then is the time to
expect reaction has any merit, then reac-
ton in the nature Of an upturn ought to
come, for everything was about as bear
1sh this morning as could well be.
Ninety-eight cars were In here. against
213, Duluth getting 81 against 40, and
Chicago 81, against Is. ST. Louis had 49,,
900 blu, against $4,000 and Kansas City
5000 against $4,000, this larger total for
Kansas City being due to the fact that
the accumulation held back last year by
floods was beginning to come in. Primary
receipts totaled 5000 bu, against 311.
900, and shipments 211,0O0 blu, against
I234 900. Clearanccs, wheat and flour.
equaled $4,000 blu.
There are rains all thru the west and
southwest, except in Texas, also in the
Ohio valley. Concordia had a thunder
storm with 212 inches; Kansas City 80
inches. Rains generally more moderate
elsewhere, except in Ohio valley. Colum-
bus had $50 inches. Temperatures are
lower northwest, generally higher else
where.
Near the close there were some bad re-
ports In from southwest Kansas; too much
rain. the wheat stalk short, corn weedy
and too wet to cultivate. The market
turned stronger and closed at top points
for July and firm all around July closed
at 93A@93&c; September, 80B oslo; De-
