STREET FAIR AND CARNIVAL.
Great Bend Will Have Gala Week Be
fore Harvest.

After a canvas of the business
houses by committee form the Fire
Company, in conjunction with Mr..
w. F. Stanley representing the ST.
Louis Amusement Co., arrangements
have been completed for the holding
of grand Street Fair and Week of
Carnival at Great Bend. opening
Monday, May Goth, and closing Sat
urday, June Sd.
The attractions furnished by the
Amusement Co. consist Of eight pleas
ing features, among them being
Electric Theatres, a Ferris Wheel,
The Old Plantation, a Merry-gc-
Round, Stadium, Creation, Mystic
Mazes etc. These will be pay at.
fractions with admission fees from 10
to 25 cents. Besides these there will
be four free features, giving eight
performances daily, and splendid
brass band.
The shows will be located mostly
on the east side of Main, fronting
west, along the square and the block
south, with the four free features
distributed in various localities to the
best advantage.
We believe the business men of the
town will unite as one man to make
the week of fun and frolic one to be
long remembered.
Booths can be erected by each
business house, at the curb, in front
of their stores, and still leave a
passage way between these booths, or
exhibits, and the shows across the
street.
Arrangements are being made for
reduced railroad rates from all points
within a hundred miles, and the
Great Bend Street Carnival will be
Thoroughly advertised.

safety. Reaching there he discovere
his mistake and later the headless
body of his wife was brought in. Over
II per cent of the population is dead
and thirty per cent wounded. The
property loss cannot be estimated as
yet.
When the relief train arrived the
dead and dying lay about on the
ground, washed by a driving rain.
Cries of pain from the injured, and
shrieks of anguish from those sepe-
rated from their families greeted the
rescuers. Flashes of lightning played
on the scene add lent their awful
effects.
Streets were obliterated by the fury
of the elements. Fifty-eight freight
cars vanished from the switches. Of
the sixty-eight bodies in the morgue
in which this is written, one man. five
women, one boy and three girls as
yet unidentified.

MANY KILLED
IN TRAIN WRECK.
Twenty Known Dead And A
Hundred Injured.
DYNAMITE ADDS TO HORROR.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 11.-Twenty
dead, hundred or more injured,
ten coaches of passenger train
burned up and long freight train
partly consumed sum up the chief
results of disastrous collision of
Cincinnati and Cleveland express on
the Pennsylvania road with a freight
train on the same road he.e early
today.
An air hose in the freight train
burst, causing several cars in tie
freight train to buckle up and fall
upon the passenger track alongside.
The express train, at high rate of
speed, crashed into the overturned
freight cars.
To add to the horror of the wreck
that followed, the conclusion exploded
two cars of dynamite, and the de-
struction was terrible. The explosion
ignited both trains, and in few
moments the whole mass of broken
and wrecked cars was in flames.
There were one hundred and sixty
snine passengers on board the express.
Most of. the passengers were asleep
when crash, followed by terrific ex-
plosions. came.
The survivors saythe flames seemed
to start simultaneously everywhere.
Most of them were temporarily
stunned. They worked themselves
free from the debris, and clamered to
safety, many in the scantiest attire.
Many..of the dead were partly con
, sumed by the flames, and some en-
tirely so. Persons bleeding from
severe cuts were seen everywhere.
J. T. Bateman, employed in near
by steel plant, approached the burn
ing wreck and caught hold of the arm
of man in the wreckage and tried to
pull him out. The flames scorched
Bateman's hands, and he was forced
to leave the shrieking victim to die in
the flames.
At noon eighteen bodies had been
recovered. It is believed the death
list will reach upwards of twenty-five.

DENTISTS ENTERPRISE.
Took Unique Method Of Making Peo-

A young man with ingenuity enough to
warrant success recently identified him
self with a Milwaukee church that boasts
of having one Of the largest congregat ons
in the city, relates the Evening Miscon-

He made himself generally useful, Of.
fering to sing in the choir, teach Sunday
school, act as usher, or do anything that
would help the good cause along. He was
finally asked to serve in the capacity of
usher, which he did with great alacrity.
As he passed the collection box the
minister noticed that he handed each per-
son a slip of white paper. At first tho
yelopes in Which the money for specified
purposes is usually inclosed, but after a
few Sundays of assiduous work on the
part of the usher, the minister decided to
investigate.
He discovered that the young man was

ing out his business cards.
