NEWSPAPER MEN NIX.

But San Franeisean's Life Is Saved by
a Buckle.
Clarence =. Edwordes, assistant city
editor of the San Francisco Chronicle,
shot and slightly wounded Charles H.
Harwood, another newspaper man, in
the local room of the Chronicle. The
bullet struck suspender buckle and
was DETECTED, causing only super
fetal wound. The cause of the shoot
ing is attributed to long standing
enmity between the two men. Ed
wordes ordered Harwood out Of the
room and the latter refused to go.

EIGHTPEOPLEKILLE
LOADED TROLLEY CAR AT BUTTE
VAS STRUCK BY TRAIN.
over Score Of Persons Were Injured,
Some Fatally-Motorman Thinking
Everything Clear Started Across the
Track, When Trolley Car Was Run
Into and crumbled to Klndling.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 21.-Eight per-
sons were killed and a score were in
jured, some fatally, here Sunday night
as the result of a freight car dashing
into crowded open trolley car at the
crossing of the streetcar and Great
Northern railway tracks on Utah
street.
Passengers on the car, men, women
and children, were returning from Co
lumbia Gardens. The motorman. as
usual, stopped his car, before reaching
the railroad crossing. At that mo-
ment Butte, Anaconda & Pacific yard
engine was making a flying switch
of loaded freight cars across Utah
street. The motorman, thinking every
thing was clear, started across the
railroad track, when the trolley car
was struck by a freight car, thrown
25 feet and crumbled into kindling
wood, the freigL. car piiing on top of
the mangled passengers.
John Harvey of Spokane was one of
the first to be taken from beneath the
wrecked car. Harvey was suffering
from a broken leg and severe bruises
about the body, but still retained con-
troll of his faculties. In the ambulance
en- route to the hospital, Harvey de-
scribed the accident as seen by him.
The car was crowded with men
and women and was proceeding slow
ly up town because Of the grade. AS
we neared the railroad crossing the
motorman turned off the power and
came almost to a stop. Then sudden
ly, before I realized what had happen
ed, he started up again and in mo-
ment came an awful crash. Our car
was turned clear over and the pas
sengers buried beneath. l was in the
rear of the streetcar and was one of
the first to be taken out.
THE scene beneath the wrecked car
was one that will never forget. It
was so dark you could hardly see any
thing and the air was filled with the
shrieks and groans of the injured and
dying. Womens agonizing screams
mingled with the deeper means of the
men for few minutes, then a sudden
quiet came, broken only by the groans
of those who were most seriously in
jured. l could hear men on the out
side giving orders and trying to clear
away the debris and in a few minutes
/ was taken out"

The workers were forced to jack up
the freight car in order to get at the
victims underneath the wreckage of
the street car. Many of the passen-
gers assisted in taking out women
from the less damaged portion of the
car, while others got out by them
selves.
In the meantime, with terrible slow
ness, it seemed, the more seriously
injured were taken one by one from
the debris of the wreck.
A big engine was hitched to the car
and it was pulled over the mass of
timber and iron, exposing the wreck
in all its awfulness, but disclosing the
fact that there were no more bodies
beneath the car. The grinding of the
timbers as the freight car was slowly
pulled off the street car was sicken-
ing, as the horror of the affair was ex.
posed in all its tragical details.
Helpless Ones Crushed Down.
The front of the car was filed with
women and many of these managed to
jump in time to avoid the crash. but
so sudden was the tragedy enacted
that many We're too late. The reason
for the extensive loss of life is that
the freight car went directly over the
front end of the street car crushing
down upon the helpless ones, and min.

sound of the crash was heard for
blocks and people rushed to the scene
from all directions. A number Of

correspondent and it is like parting
with an old friend to lose one. 1t IS
not always the smooth and fluent
writer who gives the best service.
In the first place he must have the
nose" for news. A good many raqul-
sites might be named under that quail
ification. One is the ability to dis
criminflte between important and UNI
important news. If he Is unable TO do
this he is apt to fail to appreciate the
necessity of going into detail when
something big" happens. Some time
since a. correspondent in northwest
Iowa, who had contracted the habit OF
boarding his news items, in spite or
repeated admonitions from the Office
until he had quite a string, sent in
grist of stuff by mall The matter
was we'll enough written, but in spite
of the fact that he had read daily pa
pers fur years and had "corresI ond-
ed" for several, he lacked the pelcep-
tive qualities that should have taught
him the Importance of detail in stories
of great interest and the necessity for
brevity where the average reader
would be interested only in the un-
adorned and unembellished facts.
He did not have a good news nose.
He led off with the important fact
that Lucy Jones had visited her Uncle
at q neighboring village the first OF
the week and closed with the startling
statement that several of our people
attended the dance in the hall Wednes-
day." Tucked away in the midd. e OF
the gri.st was the modest announce
mert that prominent resident OF the
township had been murdered and his
body found in a manure heap the day
previous. It happened that all the
other daily papers had missed the
story and by the use of the telephone
and telegraph story of absorbing in
terest and mystery was secured. Thru
the publicity given the crime the muir
derer was captured. The case became
cause celenre in the criminal annals
of Iowa and after a long trial the
murderer was convicted. Undoubted-
ly the correspondent had read columns
and columns about crimes of less note
in distant states, but when brought to
his own door he failed to see the pos
sibilities of the story. The same corr
respondent was able to give a gra phic
ana faithful account of the trial. But
he lacked initiative and worked well
only under direction and suggestion.

THE ANNUAL STRAIN ON IOWA.

Backward seasons in Iowa chaHee W
prosperous crop conditions with the
facility Of a Kaleidoscope. This was
backward spring. Corn planting was
late. seed failed to start IN emily
ground and replanting was necessary
in many sections of the state Stlil the
Farmers walled hopefully With rev
predictions Of failure.
Iowa soil has justified their conf
dence. Sunshine followed the emily
rains and the corn sprang up and COW
cred the fields as tho called by en-
chantment. 1t hurried to keep its an
cient date with the Fourth of July, and
the farmers knee. 1t will be on time,
knee high. deep green and rustling in
the breezes of July 4. Just now the
corn is shooting upward so fast that
"you can see it grow" Inches every
day and night. One Marshall county
farmer has a system Of growth meas
urement and finds stalks making a
growth of four inches in twenty-four
"
hours. "Knee-high by the Fourth?"
Why not?
The good news of a great corn pros
pect is not confined to any one Sec
ton of the state. The prolific lower
Iowa counties where the corn crop has
been drowned by heavy rainfalls for
the past two or three seasons are jubi-
liant over the prospects for bumper
yield. A murm,lr Of satisfaction comes
from all over the state as the corn
stretches up into the sunshine with it's
promise of crowded cribs fat hogs and
cattle, and general prosperity.
Corn means TOO much to Iowa. We
put all our eggs into one basket in this
state, an excellent basket it is true,
but after all a single one. We need
diversity of farming, more COWS, more
special crops that may prove an an
Choir to windward when the corn crop
partially fails. The strain on business
of every character conducted in the
state until the corn crop is as
sured proves this assertion Mer-
chants. bankers manufacturers, all
trim their sails to the winds that wave
the corn.

ANOTHER LAND CRAZE COMING.

Twenty-Five years OF buying and
selling farms and OF loaning eastern
insurance money on farm mortgages at
Grinnell has taught Mr.. Norris that
low interest rates multiply land buy
ers and raise land prices No truer
statement was ever made than his
assertion that the reduction of interest
rates to three and four per cent would
raise the price of farm lands by from
SIS to $40 per acre The observation is
based upon natural business laws
For the same reason is it true that
the increase Of bank deposits in Iowa
of over thirty millions within the past
twelve months promises revival of
land speculation within the next year.
Interest rates are already dropping.
Large sums lying idle in the banks are
going to make the bankers greedy for
more interest earnings. They are hui
man. Men with good security will
soon find it very easy to get money at
the bank, and then they will begin to
buy land. Confidence in land values
has never been shaken in the average
Iowa mind, hence it follows that lit
tie easy money always starts land
buying.
A gain of thirty millions in bank de-
posits means another land craze just
as certainly as three or four per cent
mortgage money would mean rush of
land bidders Easy bank money causes
bankers to ask their farmer friends to
pay off their mortgages and borrow at
the banks. This puts more money into
the market for mortgages and down
come the rates. With money easy
at the banks and ready demand for
mortgage loans at very low rates it is
only step to the buying Of more
land.
Back east where lands have ceased
to constantly rise in value and offer
q thing speculation, easy bank
money stimulates manufacturing en-
terprises.> The mortgage class Of in
vestors buy industrial bonds and the
banks encourage, young men to en-
bark in new enterprises and the mid
die aged ones to enlarge their present
operations. There is a period of ex.
DanSion coming
