STRENGTH OF PIE

According 10 the Missoulian il might
be well for the interstate commerce
commission to enlist the services of a
few pieces of pie, The Missoulian says:
The praises of pie have been sung by
many. Pie is popular in America the
kind that mother used to make. There
are as many varieties of pie as there
are of fowers-and tlours. The gold
en- pumpkin, the succulent mince, the
tart lemon, the apple and other kinds
too numerous to mention. And there
are pie biters. Was there ever time
when there wasn't a rush to the pie
counter Many have fallen in the
rush. Among the nobly fallen are Nels
Jurgensen, engineer, and ". ID. John
son, fireman, on the Atchison. Topeka
and Sante Fe road, who have Topeka
run. The other day, just before tax,
ing passenger train out OF Topeka,
Jurgensen and johnson rushed to the
pie counter divided cocoanut pie into
sections, and made connection. 1t was
good pie-for lunch counter pie: the
men admitted that. But they were un.
aware of the fact that it was full of
ptomaines
When Staffordsville was passed the
superiority of the ptomaines to the pie
began to be demonstrated. The train
stopped in the middle of a BIG corn
field and when other train hands in.
vestigated Jurgensen and johnson were
found writhing upon the floor of the
cab 4 brakeman had to 90 back to
Stafordsville and telegraph the news to
headquarters. The whole Santa Fe
system was tied up for three hours: all
on account OF pie. Finally. things were

as their friend. His assassination under
such circumstances, indicates that tbe
revolutionary propaganda has reached a
stage with features both like and un-
like those Of the French Terror.
The common feature is the purpose
to shed blood, to kill. without anv nice
discrimination. Madame Roland and
the queen each went to the knife n
satisfy the blood thirst, but that was
after the convention was organized and
the revolution had crystalized into a

AFTER WESTERN UNION.
Attorney General Coleman Begins Suit
for Charter Fee.


Attorney General C. c. Coleman
commenced proceedings in the su-
preme court Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of collecting the $4,000
charter fee which the Western Union
company owes the state. The proceed
ings are in the form of quo warranto,
to determine the right of the company
to do business inside the state.
Last April the Western Union,
which is chartered for 100000 under
the laws of New York, applied for a
permit to do business in Kansas. 1t
paid the application fee of $25, and
the charter was granted provided the
company would pay in addition the
charter fee of $4,000. This addi-
tional sum has not been paid.
1t is said that Mr.. Coleman will in
the future bring proceedings against
the Pullman company and the Postal
Telegraph company unless they pay
their charter fees

SIXTY HURT.
Brakes Failed to Work and
Trailer Was Upset.
Flew From the Track While
Rounding a Curve.
ON A STEEP INCLINE.
Derailed Car Was Dragged a
Considerable Distance
Before the Motor Car Could Be
Be Brought to Standstill.
ON A STEEP INCLINE.

Pittsburg, Sept 13.-Sixty passengers
were injured, nine seriously by the
overturning of trailer attached to a
car on the Homestead division of the
Pittsburg Street Railway company near
Glenwood bridge this morning. The more
seriously hurt were taken to the hospi-
tai where they will be compelled to re-
main for some time. The others were
able to proceed to their homes after
having their injuries dressed
The accident was caused by the fail
ure of the brakes to work properly.
The car and trailer were crowded to
their fullest capacity, many of the pas
sengers being workmen on their way
to the varied plants in the vicinity.
There is a steep grade from the Glen
wood bridge to Hays Junction where
cars branch off for surrounding points,
and great caution is used by motormen.
The brakes refused to act properly to-
day, however, and the cars descended
the grade with unusual speed.
AT Hays junction there is a sharp
curve. The first car managed to round
the curve, but the trailer, carrying six
ty passengers, was thrown from the
track on it's side. A scene of almost in
describable confusion followed as the
upset trailer was dra gged along a con-
siderable distance before the motor car
could be stopped. Every one of the
sixty passengers was bruised and in
jured and it was first reported that four
had been killed. Word was Immediate
ly sent the Glenwood car barns at Glen
wood. A special car was dispatched to
the scene and all the injured removed to
the barns where they received medical
attention and the seriously injured were
taken to the hospitals.
1t is expected that all of the injured
will ultimately recover.
