yania Railroad, known as the Cleve-
lGnd-Cincinnati Express, crashed into
a freight train which contained two

sengers numbered 100 and nearly ey-
eryone was killed or injured
Both trains We're piled in mass of
wreckage which at once took fire. The
flames from the blazing mass were 50
fierce that rescuers who hurried to the
spot attracted by the noise of the ex-
plosion were unable to approach the
pyre of the dead and injured.
E2ll9Yipg the crash Of the wreck,
three distinct explosions were heard.
The spread of the flames caused sew
eral later blasts. adding to the fierce
ness of the blaze and increasing the
number of casualties. As the smoke
relied from the wreck the forms OF
men and women could be seen beneath
the timbers which had formed the pas
senger cars, and their cries for help
were piteous.
United States Senator Philander C.
Knox and Miss Knox, his daughter,
are among the injured The Senator,
it is feared. is MORALLY hurt. while the
injuries Of his daughter are only
little less severe. -is
The train WAS running as the sec
ond section of the west bound express,
which left New York at $50 p. m. and
the first section of which passed
through Harrisburg at midnight. The
second and fated section was running
nearly an hour behind the regular ex-
press. The title of the train was the
Cleveland and Cincinnati express. but
at IittSburg certain cars We're made
up again for the Chicago train.

Five hundred people are reported

PRESIDENT IN CHICAGO.
Receives a Hearty Welcome in Strike
Bound City.

Bound City.
President Roosevelt arrived in Chicago
at noon Wednesday. A hearty welcome
was extended him as he stepped off the
presidential train at the Northwestern
station, fresh from his extended hunting
trip in the West. Gov J"eneeC. Mayor
Dunno, delegations from the Merchants,
the Hamilton and the Iroquois clubs,
committee of Aldermen and other city
officials extended a greeting. Admission
to the railway station, where the presi-
Dental train pulled up, was by card only,
yet those authorized to be present al
most crowded the place.
President Roosevelt shook hands with
Gov. Deneen and those who met him at
the train steps. Immediately the visitor
was escorted to a carriage to be taken
to the Auditorium Annex, where suite
of rooms had been provided for the Presi-
dents party.
The President was a guest in the city
for twelve and a half hours In almost
all of that time he was entertained at
some function Thousands of people were
prevented from cT0wlling into the station
by strong police guard. Long before
the train arrived $50 policemen were
distributed about the station. Besides
these there was a detachment of cavalry
from the First Illinois, which with the
police acted as an escort in the process
sion to the hotel. Besides the regular
United States secret service men who
accompany the President eight picked
men were detailed by the police depart
ment.
The streets through which the Presi-
dents carriage drove were lined with Do-
lice and men in uniform and plain clothes
mingled with the crowds everywhere.
There were 400 policemen along tie drive
from the Northwestern station to the
Auditorium and an equal number in the
parade from the hotel to the Hamilton
club. In addition to these there were
over fifty detectives who followed the
Presidents carriage and watched the
crowds closely for any disturbers.
Having arrived at the hotel the Presi-
dent went almost Immediately to the din
ing room, where 100 members and guests
of the Merchants Club awaited him. The
luncheon followed. l

Women Dance for Monse.

At exactly 9:45 o'clock Thursday
from the main corridor of the Missou-
ri-Lincoln Trust building at Seventh
and Olive streets and took short con-
stitutional of about twenty-five feet
west in Olive, says the st. Louis Posl-
Dispatch. In the course of that limo
cent jaunt he frightened so many
women that a feminine panic ensued
and so much screaming and scamper-
ing about was done that the mouse
started back for the more masculine
calm of the Missouri Lincoln Trust
building.
AS he gained tie entrance, however.
a large and formidable-lOok wom-
an espied him, and with a wild shrek
and a frenzied grasping of the skirts,
began executing such a remarkable
dance on the sill of the big skyscraper
that the mouse lost his head and sour
ried clear across Olive street.
Arriving at the curb on the south
side, he passed under a carriage from
which two women were alighting and
emerged on the sidewalk simultane-
ously with them. At once they set
up an cutlery ard circled around on the
pavement in a dismayed minuet such
as has never before been seen In st.
Louis. BY this time a big crowd had
gathered, and the laughter Of men and
boys mingled with the shrieking and
screaming Of women and girls. The
uproar became so appalling to the
mouse that finally, reckless Of conse-
quences. he precipitated himself
through an open grating into a cellar
and has not been seen since. His IN
usual md uncommon experience while
in quest Of little fresh air lasted just
FIVE minutes.

which rose to her eyes.

dience would not stop applauding and

DR.. Waltenrath asked:
'Is she then marriedY
Why, of course she is" was the re-
ply; "she married a wealthy merchant

The Doctor commenced to applaud
wildly. Ada Lingen sat STILL an ex-
preston of unspeakable happiness in
he's pretty, girlish face.
Never had DR.. Waltenrath enjoyed a
play as this, and when he later placed
the cloak upon Ada's shoulders, he
whispered into her ear:
How lucky It is not everybody who
commits suicide from unhappy love
She did not look as if she was still
mourning the loss of her first love-"
1t is hardly necessary to add that
the little party did not separate the
next day, and that when the Doctor
crossed the Atlantic couple of
months later he did not cross alone.

MEMORIES OF LAST NIGH.


Across the gray of last nights skies
The stars like white narcssus chung,
And, sweetheart, mirrored in your eyes
The halo of their glory hung,
While far and wide the moonlight
flung,
and somewhere, in our world apart,
A mocker's sudden music swung
Last night, sweetheart.
The song below. the stars above,
Seemed but to meet and melt into
4 silver symphony of love,
That thrilled our listening senses
through;
And, clio within my arms, you knew
TIhe depth of each unspoken thought,
While life for me held only you
Last night, sweetheart.

Beyond the mystery of the skies?

and Eden dearer than your eyes?

tAnd yet by some strange chance Fata

+ found the way to paradise

Many people, when they first come

to spoil the back by not knowing how
to open the book properly. Here are
few hints as to the best way Of
opening a volume. 10 should be held
with it's back on table, the front
board cover should be let down, the
leaves being held in one hand. Next.
the other board cover should be let
down. Following this operation, few
leaves should be opened at the back.
then few at the front, and soon,
alternately opening back and front,
gently pressing open the sections till
the center of the volume is reached.
The best results will be obtained II
this is done two or three times. II
the book is violently or carelessly
opened in any one place, the back Will
very likely be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
