Both the fireman and engineer are re

Seven cars were almost totally de-

The engine turned completely over anc
how the fireman and engineer escaped IS
miraculous.
They were not even badly injured. but
received several cuts and bruiss in the

and deep snow in the cuts probably
caused the wreck.

DISCRIMINATION In

Rumors of a heavy movement Of

the Pacific coast by a special rate of
40 cents, put into effect by the big lines,

mercial and railroad circles. The di.
version Of any considerable quantity of

Dakotas into Minneapolis or Duluth,

alleged that the Accent rate is actually

replies were indirect and in some de-
gree evasive. Without openly admit
ting that Accent fax rate is in effect
the roads automatically conveyed as
surance that after IAN. 1 everything

is taken as admission of the existence
of the rate.
Much more Importance attaches tt
this disturbance of rates than its mere

coast are on a parity for aaxseed ant

HOW THE PRESIDENT

One Of the prettiest incidents of
the presidents recent trip thru the
south was his reception at Roswell, Ala,
where he called upon Mrs. w. E. Baker,
mother Of William E. and Thomas K.

one Of the fine old matrons of the old
south. She was schoolmate, long years

Mrs. Baker was invited to the re-

the old Bullock home in Roswell. That
day every house was emptied Of it's in

She sat still in her stately old home

On hearing the request, Secretary
Loeb explained that ttls could not be;
that it would be co1+=s,ry to all prece

home during a public tour. Mr.: Loci
thought he knew the president. But
Mrs. Baker, with knowledge of two
previous generations Of Roosevelts
knew him better.
At the reception President Roosevelt
asked for Mrs. Baker, and MI. Loci
told him Of her refusal to attend thu
