TRAINS IN COLLISION
ONE PERSON KILLED AND MANY
OTHERS INJURED m WRECK "
AT ST. PAUL.

st, Paul, Oct. Mrs. Clara N.
Cross of Minneapolis is dead, nine
persons are seriously injured and ten
are suffering from slight cuts and
bruises as the result of one of the
worst railroad wrecks which ever oc-
Cured in st. Paul.
A train of thirty-five cattle cars on
the Chicago Great Western road broke
away from the control of the crew
and struck 500 passenger train No. Z
just as it was pulling out of the yards
headed for Minneapolis. Striking the
second sleeper of the passenger the
engine of the cattle train ripped two
of the sleepers from the passenger
train and hurled them over retain
ing wall eighteen feet high into a
gully twenty feet below.
All of the injured, with the excep-
ton of three, were in the sleeping
cars. The casualty list would have
been larger. but the train had unload
ed the greater part of Its passengers
at the Union depot In this city.
Refusal of the airbrakes on the Chi
cago Great Western cattle train to
work is generally accepted as the
cause of the collision.

CAPTURE BOND THIEF
NEW YORK OFFICERS ARREST
Man WHO STOLE SOME VAL
uA5LE SECURITIES.

New York, Oct BY the confess
sion of Henry A. Leonard, a young
clerk in the employ of Halle & Stieg-
litz. brokers at 80 Broad street, the
mystery of the robbery on Wednes-
day last of $359,000 worth of securi-
ties from the National City bank was
cleared up Monday. Leonard, who
lives with his parents at $50 East
One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street,
was arrested Sunday and kept in close
confinement while the detectives con-
tinued their search for the missing
securities, every dollar of which was
recovered Monday.
The prisoner, who is only twenty
four years old, and who has prev
iously borne the reputation of being
an industrious and thoroughly reliable
clerk, made the astounding statement
In his confession that he had planned
and carried out his scheme Of for
gerry and robbery, not from any Grim
inal motive, but solely to show by
what a simple device the elaborate
safeguards of New York banks could
be set at naught. That this statement
Is true is in a measure corroborated
by the facts in the case and is the
belief of the young mans employers,
by whom he was highly esteemed.

A HAY DERRICK.

level with the top Of the stack. then
carried over and dropped at any place
on the stack. 1t will keep two men
busy on the stack all the time, and
they viii not have to reach over the
edge of the stack to help get the hay
up. Besides, it does not drag up the
side of the stack, as many pitchers do,
nor does 1t make the stack heavier on
one SIDE than the other. A round
stack can be built twenty feet high
and easily made to hold from twelve
to fifteen tons. 1t saves time, money,
help, muscle, patience "and other
things too numerous to mention"
The foregoing expresses the idea and
experience of a writer in Ohio Farmer,
and in the same journal another cor
respondent, describes his plan for I'M
loading hay with a horse fork in the
barn or on the stack, which he consid-
ers very convenient and cheaper than
any set of haying tools and just as
good. He has used it for two years
and found it valuable.
This plan is as follows: Fasten pull
ley blocks at A and c in the cone of
the barn. Then with an open ring
fasten another pulley to the ring IN
the hayfofk Then tie one end Of a
rope to the open ring, after 1t has beer
closed, and then put the rope through
the pulley at G, then down through the
pulley at Il, which is on the fork, then
through the pulley at A, then through
pulley at d, which Is down Cd
the barn floor All that Is neces-
sary to change the fork so as to drop
hay in either NOW is to unite the rope
from the fork and tie the opposite end
there This method saves one the cost
of track and car and will pull almost
directly straight upward until the fork
full of hay gets pretty well up, then
will travel over the NOW.
! Those who have hay to stack can
use this plan by using two tall posts

In the true arid range where sage
brush (Artemisia tridentata) is the pre-
vailing vegetation, fencing and pro

This viii not be at all difficult, for, ow-

In the recent very effective bulletin
Issued by Professor III. l.. Russell OF
the Wisconsin university the question
OF tuberculosis in cattle is strongly
discussed, says H0ards Dairyman.
The question is very important one
to every dairy farmer, whether he
knows II or not. In this bulletin Pro
fessor Russell recounts the experience
of the department IN dealing with the
Strong herd at Beloit, where fifty
seven cows out of seventy were found
affected with this dreadful disease.
The barns and stables were construct
ed OH the most modern plan. with but
one fatal exception. No provision for
ventilation. in a true sense. was made,
and hence one or two infected animals
soon infected nearly all the rest.
A farmer attended the farmers
course az the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture last winter. He had never
taken much stock in the talk about
tuberculosis or In the tuberculin test.
but while there be witnessed dem
onstrition of the test and its very
thorough accuracy In proving whether
an animal Is aIccted or not He went
home determined TO test his cattle. In
his herd of twenty five he found one
that had the disease Thus he was en-
abIed to get right at the trouble in It's
Inception and save his herd.
OF the seventy herds examined by
the state live stock sanitary board IN
1003-04 forty-nine were found tainted
with tuberculoss From 1902 TO Mag,
1905. 933 animals were tested and llS
were found 10 be tuberculous. Profess
or Russell well says that no man en
gagged In stock raising or dairying can
afford not to test his cattle at once
and find what their exact condition is
AT a Kansas meeting of stoekmen
one OF the speakers said:
Il will tell you why 50 many of your
stockmen are opposed TO the use of the
tuberculin test. a. is because you are
afraid you will find tuberculosis IN
your cattle"
There are lots Of dairy farmers who
are of the same mind. but it Is not
wise or safe TO live IN that frame OF
mind.
