the wrecking Of Santa Fe passenger

spreading rails, near Derby, ten miles
south of Wichita, Monday afternoon
The train was tearing around a curve
south OF that little town at speed OF
about thirty miles an hour, when the
four cars suddenly jumped the track
and piled on top of each other at the
bottom of the embankment. At that
point the grade is perhaps twenty feet
high. The engine did not leave the
track

recently married. In the car with

SCRAMBLE FOR TICKETS.
Everybody Anxious for 10 Cent Ad-
missions TO NIidwinter Fair.

The sale of ten cent tickets for the
Mfdwinter Exposition which COM
menced this week has thus far proved
more rapid than has been the case
any previous year. At a great many
of the stores in which it had been an
nounced through the State Journal,
tickets would be placed on sale, num-
bers of people have been in and left
money to pay for tickets, fearing I'M
less they did so that they would have
no opportunity to purchase them
In some instances where it was only
intended to place fifty or one hund-
red tickets there had been left suf-
hicient money to cover more than
double the number apportioned. There
is very little question but the entire
fifteen thousand tickets vii be ex-
hausted before the end of the week.
The sale this year is unprecedented
and indicates very clearly the contin-
ued popularity of the Midwinter Ex-
position.
