SHORT line WRECK
THREE PERSONS KILLED EIGHT
MILES BELOW WEISER, IDAHO.
Mail Clerk, Engineer and Fireman All
Killed by carelessness Of Engineer
Trains Crash Into Each Other De-
moIishing Engines and cars-Few
Passengers Injured.

Weiser. Idaho, Sept. PA wreck
on the Short Line railroad occurred at
SIG o'clock Saturday morning at Ea-
ton station, about eight miles below
Weiser, killing three persons-the mail
clerk, engineer and fireman of the
passenger train.
The dead. w. Harrison, mail
clerk, Portland, Ore.
Buck Rovalsteadt, fireman of the
passenger train, Glenns Ferry Idaho.
Alex La Rose, engineer of the pas
senger train.
The westbound passenger was run
ming in two sections. The second sec
ton had orders to pass the Boise
Huntington accommodation Cannon
BALI train at Eaton station. When the
passenger train arrived at Eaton, the
cannonball was not on the siding. In
stead of waiting, the passenger train
continued on toward huntington, run
ming at a high rate Oh speed from Ea-
ton to the mile post beyond at the rate
of one mile in AZ seconds.
The engineer of the cannonball had
seen the passenger train coming and
had stopped. Evidently the engineer
of the passenger did not see the can
nonball train, which was on a curve,
until he was within less than 100 feet
OF it, when he applied the emergency
brakes, .ut too late to stop its mo-
mentum, and 1t crashed into the can
nonball tram WIN terrific force, de-
molishing both engines and throwing
them into the aiCch, rending the mail
car into splinters and demolishing four
cars Of the cannonball and scattering
their contents for so feet on each side
of the track.
The fireman of the passenger train
was pinned down by the engine and it
was four or five hours after the acct
dent before his body was dug out. The
mail clerk was killed and Alex La
Rose, engineer of the passenger train,
was fatally injured. The mailcar was
: reduced to kindiing wood.
A passenger, y. M. Harper, of De
mar, Kan, was thrown through win
dow of one of the coaches and was
: badly cut about the head and body. A

THE CADwELLS IN WASHINGTON.
A Newsy Letter Describing Some Of the
Things They Have Seen Since Leav-
ing Home.

Washington, d. @. Dec IS, 1905.
Editor Public Opinion
We are nicely located at 1918
Twelfth street, N. W. We pitched
our tent here: last Friday. You see
we are not at all superstitious as to
No 10 or FRIDAY. We are in nice
walking distance of Pennsylvania
Avenue. which as you know is one of
the principal streets of the Capitol,
and it is a beauty. just before
coming here we spent one week in
Philadelphia, and we saw much of
interest to us in that city. We first
visited Fairmount Park, which is very
beautiful, even so late in the season
as this. Two of the large buildings
erected for the Centennial Fair in
876-Memorial Hall and Horticultural
Hall are still there with their contents
almost entirely intact, and are we'll
taken care of by the city. We also
visited Giard College. We could not
gain admittance until assured the
gate keeper that was not a clergy
man, as no minister of the gospel is
allowed within the walls. There are
at present sixteen hundred boys in
the institution, ranging in age from
four TO sixteen years. At sixteen they
are discharged. In order to gaiI

half orphans. We saw them march
in to dinner. They have dining hall
large enough to seat the sixteen
hundred, but some of the smaller ones
dine in a smaller hall. The boys
all stood while one of the professors
said grace. The bible is read and
PRAYER offered, also singing of hymns
in the chapel once day. They also
have services of some kind on the
Sabbath carried ON nv the teachers.
We also visited the mint: saw them
stamping and milling the coin, we gh-
ing and sacking it, handling it as
farmer wOnld corn, in fact they SEEM
ed very careless with it.. After we
got out / asked my wife how much
she got, and she said she did not take
any, as she was afraid they might
not like it. We also visited Inde-
pendence Hall. and not only saw the
old Liberty Bell, but manv relics of
Washington's time and the mouldy
past l don't believe I have much
veneration for things of the long ago !;
it seems to me they are rather smelly.
We also visited the great Wanamaker
store. 1t is quite the thing to do in
Philadelphia, but do You know we
have stores in Chicag> that can dis
count Wanamaker's. We also saw
other places and things of great in
terest, but will not tire You with the
telling.
1t is now about two months since
we left home, and it has been very
pleasant trip, somewhat sadd ned by
the deaths that have come to our old
friends in DEBORAH. We will be pleased
to hear from home friends at above
address.
Yours as ever,
L. L. CALDWELL.

A. w. OxIey's Big Barn

A. w. Oxley's big sheep barn is
nearing completion and will be one
of the largest and most commodious
structures of it's kind in the county.
The barn is 200 feet long and "a feet
wide, and is equipped with 400 feet
of manger. 1t contains an automatic
feeder down each side of the centre
aisle which " ill feed 1900 lambs at
one time. This will hold two carloads
of corn-either shelled or ear corn.
Aside from this a 300 barrel cistern
has been built which will supply the
barn with water, thus enabling the
sheep to drink Mt any time without
leaving the barn.
The lumber in it is of oak, sawed
from A. VS. own timber. The
structure has 10, 800 feet of floor space.
and it will require 1873, 600 shingles
to cover the roof. The floor space in the
barn is sufficient to shelter 1901 sheep,
each sheep requiring 2x3l5 feet. The
interior of the structure is so arranged
that team of horses hitched to
manure spreader can be driven through
either the center or side aisles, making
it very convenient to clean it of refuse
matter. All told the harm is big
one, and here's hoping that A. w.
will always have it filed with sheep.

Buying Insight and unseen.

Surprising now, Mr.. Holiday Shop
per, that you were to go into st,r
and ask to examine some article of
common use, saw stove for instance
that you had seen advertised for $25.
Surprising that the merchant refers
you TO picture book and tells YOU to
help yourself. Surprising further that
the picture looks good to you, and that
you plank down the twenty-five
simoleons and tell the dealer to send
the stove down to your house. Sur
posing still further that the merchant
gathers in your money. smiles
pleasantly and says:
mot on youl life. The stove will
be delivered to you some time between
next month and next spring. When
it arrives at the denot the station
agent will no doubt notify you. Thank
you and G cd morning. -
But, you protest, 'we need the
stove now. Our old stove has gone to
pieces, wife's temper is in an awful
state, and her complexion ruined"
''Then credit all that to your
own negligence in not ordering the
stove last summer.
"Weli', you mnrmur, maybe
you re right, but what about the
freight on this stove when it does
come?".
"Ob, you pay that. -
but how much will it be?''
THAT'S your lookout not ours. 1t
it is sent from Birmingham. Alabama,
it will be quite bit, if from Oshkosh,
Wis, it may be considerable less.
But have already wasted too much
time in explanations ana again must
wish you good morning."
"Well, if that's the case YOU
say, your choler risen, "I'll Just take
my money and see if can't get a
stove to suit me across the street.
Please hand it over
Sorry replies the dealer, but
that's entirely against our rules. In
our extensive business, we have certain
we'll defined principles that we must
adhere to most rigidly. You'll get
your stove all right and it'll be Just
as pretty as the picture. -
And there you are, Mr.. Holiday
Shopper, and what are you going to
do about it? This is suppos' tious
case. however. Indeed. it would
hardly be apt to happen with reference
to local dealer If il did, YOU would
be most likely to tell him to go to-
a place where stoves are not needed
so far as your further patronage was
concerned.
But the picture is not overdrawn il
You will substitute mail order house
for the local merchant described here
for you take just that kind of chances
and get just that kind of treatmen
when you pack your monev off t.
Chicago to buy '''unsight and un
seen. "-Waverlv Democrat.
